I know, odd title for the accessories section. I was -buying- an accessory, or looking for one and that's when I came upon an excellent example OF customer service. So I wanted to share the experience. (R1)I was looking for a small red dot for my yugo m70. I did a stock job on this...

<---- I made a reply based on the suggestions presented and the fact that one of the other forum members is going to sell me his older reloading equipment. I just didn't think it would necessarily be appropriate to have a reloading thread in the revolver section so I posted the reply in the...

A member of the forum offered to sell me his old set of reloading equipment at a really good price so I decided it was probably time I got into it. Then I started looking at the consumables I'd need to reload (powder, primers, brass, bullets). Just in order to gauge how much money I'd be saving...

I don't have the cashola to fork out and buy reloading equipment (eventually i'll break down and do so). So I'm constantly rummaging through different places and looking for decent ammunition at a not outrageous price. I found one I think is a good deal and I'd like to share with everyone else...

Model 27 has always been my favorite DA revolver. My mind's eye idea of a double action revolver will forever be the 27-2 police magnum. 4 inch barrel with the square butt handle, blued. To me that will always be the quintessential double action revolver. The look, feel, balance: can't be beat...

Whoa, great post. The .357 maximum, iirc, was really designed for single barrel contender type pistols. That way you could have an extremely powerful almost rifle like cartridge in a pistol package for states that don't allow rifle hunting. Some of those states (like mine, illannoys) only allow...

Dale, you clearly didn't pay attention. In my example above of 9mm luger compared to .357 magnum: the magnum still won. Check the post - it hasn't been edited in any way. I never said that the 9mm beat the .357: I was only highlighting what happens to .357 when it IS fired from super short...

You know, that's one caliber I've never had the opportunity to shoot. I've shot 9mm luger and mak, 7.62mm tok, .38 special, .38 super, .380, .40 S&W, .45 acp and .44 mag. I really should invest in a model 27 in .357. maybe one of the police magnum trade ins (if there's any left to be found...

Nice! *drool* I hate you and I love your Grandfather, the old man had good taste. My grandfather's got a Ruger vaquero in .44 mag (which they no longer make) and it's had the frame color case hardened. He refuses to sell it to me, :cuss:

The only problem with most 10mm pistols is that they're steel and are foolishly built using inferior frames. You can't necessarily shoot a lot of 10mm in a frame made for .45: it's got a much higher pressure threshold. One of the reasons the Glock's handle 10mm so easily -without- having...

Suburbia .45 acp kills anything you may come across: and does so very well. I don't even bother with hollow points: The 230 grain FMJ at 850 fps has buried fascists, communists, totalitarians, zealots, guerrillas, anarchists and tribesmen on various continents across the globe. Dead, planted: in...

Continuing that theme: I myself shoot aggressive weaver. Feet shoulder width apart with knees slightly bent and weight centered. Hips and shoulders squared to the target. It gives me excellent balance and stability and feels more natural because I've received a fair amount of training in...

I have to say: .44 mag has got to be my favorite handgun cartridge of all time. Get yourself a Ruger and throw in some hand cannon ammunition, they won't fall apart like the smith will. If you like the 629 so much: get a Ruger Redhawk in the same barrel length. The difference between 240 grain...

At this point I have two things to say. 1. oldfool is my hero. Post #55 was fantastic. 2. The following quote prompted an immediate bond villain evil laugh.

Yes and no. True - 90% of the internals are going to be replaced and hand fitted in order to get a tight fit that's also got -just- enough tolerance in order to allow proper function. You should be able to bop it on your hand with little or no jingling or rattling. On the other hand: no, you...

I -still- like and want some of the classics from the other companies. By the way: Colt Anaconda, Python and a Smith 29 classic. I'd also love to have a couple of Dan Wessons - those were superb revolvers as well. Yet - I want those as collector's pieces, and then I'll customize a few Ruger's...

Ruger's -able- to "make good stuff at a good price" because they're not shy or even hesitant about dumping money into their R&D for the purpose of advancing production techniques. Most companies have engineers who do little else than try to cut corners to lower costs by finding things they can...

Woof - how the hell did I miss that one? Emilio Ghisoni did design both and then died in 2008 before the Rhino went into production. I think given the choice - I'd prefer a Mateba over a Rhino. In one aspect though i do like the Rhino: lower bore axis does decrease time between accurate follow...

I started by reading the first page.... I saw the pictures.... I was trying *really* hard to control my laughter well enough to start typing. And I got to this: That's about where I lost it and laughed so hard I squinted out tears. I was reminded of a line from Lucky Number Slevin. "I'm...

I have an older model of the same gun. American Classic Commander sized: it worked so well for me I convinced someone else I went to school with to get one as well. he still loves his, far as I know. they really do shoot well: now I have come across flaws but then again - I learned how to make...
