    642 Club Part Three

    Gun Nutty... For the most part I use speed loaders. I had a 9mm LCR. That required a bit more thought. I wanted to stay with moon clips in the 9mm but have them handy (and protected). Being an 'always two reloads' kinda guy, I created a means to carry the moon clips in my pouch, (I know...

    Worth the trouble to ream a cylinder?

    Tinman357... I appreciate the kind offer... I really do. mavracer... I appreciate your offer as well. I'm temporarily in Central Illinois. :-( A lot of gr8 advice here. The Vaquero is not a target gun but since I primarily make my own bullets and shoot all of my guns expecting the best...

    Would You Trust Your Life With A .380?

    Yes. I did today, (too lazy to get the .357 Ruger out), and do when clothing dictates a smaller gun, (I'm never unarmed). I carry for Peace of Mind. The .380 (with sufficient practice and proper ammo), gives me that in everyday scenarios. I do prefer larger more powerful rounds... if...

    Would it be foolish to to pair a .44 spl only revolver with a .44 mag rifle?

    Many good points, for sure. I give Driftwood a ditto though. I don't recommend two different cartridges either. (If it was mentioned already, I apologize...), Do you have any 4-legged critters you might have to be concerned about? A magnum round would certainly dispatch them quicker, (while...

    Worth the trouble to ream a cylinder?

    Varminterror: Your last sentence, (specifically after the last comma), is precisely what's driving me nuts! It's an okay shooter. It has a 3.75" barrel and it certainly doesn't produce the huge hole I can create with my 6.5" S&W 25 but I feel it could be a bit better. (If I shot the target...

    SD 9mm Ammo for Short Barrels

    I carry Federal 115 gr. JHP Hi-Shok, (and have read many glowing reports). I have to say though... I was very impressed with the Ruger ARX. Bought a box for use in .380 & plan to pick up a box in .38 Special as well. If you think you need more penetration in 9mm, (frankly, I'm worried about...

    Taurus Spectrum

    I've been religiously checking all of the large gun shops across the land for both the Spectrum & the Colt Cobra. Nothing yet, (of course... as soon as I post this they'll appear so get your money ready)! I will try to get back here and leave a link to where you can find them once I see either...

    Has anyone had issues with CCI Stinger Ammo

    Shoot stingers in all my .22LR pistols & my 10/22. Never had a problem. Can't say that about any other brand though.

    Worth the trouble to ream a cylinder?

    My Ruger Vaquero .45 Colt has a cylinder throat measurement of .451. The bore measures .4525. I'd like to know if anyone else that has a Vaquero, with similar dimensions, has had their cylinder throats reamed, (to .4525). If so, do you think it's worth the cost to ream a cylinder? In...

    Single Action Revolvers

    Beautiful! All of them. I own a 2nd generation Colt SAA .45 Colt, (but I'm not digging that one out of hiding just for a pic!), case hardened bluing. Even as a boy, my interest was always on the shiny gun in any western I saw. Well, here's my .45 Vaquero. (Pic doesn't show it very well, but...

    If You Go Out In The Woods Tonight....

    I try to limit my walking in the woods to daylight hours because my night vision can't match what's out and about there in the dark. But, most trips I'll have this with me. S&W 629 3" PC .44 magnum. Mix of .44 Special & Magnum in the cylinder. In snake country I'll put in a couple shot...

    Bond Arms Deal

    I love my Bond. Have four different barrels. It has a permanent place in my gun safe for it will never be sold or traded. You can bank on it. The 4.25" .45 Colt/.410 has already saved me from a car-jacking in Miami. No need to even fire it! LOL One look at the gun and he was gone. The...

    Anyone Seen A CPX-3 Yet???

    I went with a single stack Taurus TCP PT738. A fluff & buff and it eats the JHP's up nicely. No where as abusive on my hand as my LCP was. Not as sweet as my P238 but nowhere the cost either! It's going to make a nice summer carry piece.

    New .44 Special GP100 range report

    I stopped at my LGS and asked to see one. Wish I hadn't. Thought I didn't desire any more guns for awhile, but I was wrong. I can hear that .44 calling me now. The grips... I don't see any need to change those out for finger groove grips, at least now. It felt very sweet. It definitely...

    Taurus Spectrum

    I've helped friends locate magazines for their discontinued Taurus guns. I'm retired so I have the time! Some of them were difficult to find, (and consequently... expensive!). Save your TCP for when I'll need parts! I'm good on mags though, I just bought 3 OEM mags through CDNN. They're...

    Taurus Spectrum

    When I bought my Taurus 738 TCP a few days ago, the LGS told me that Taurus discontinued them. (I guess I better stock up on extra mags for it!) They also told me they're expecting the Spectrum in but didn't know when. I was impressed with the feel and quality of the TCP, (chose it over the...

    Post-SHOT Show Colt Cobra Update

    Good point RealGun. I hadn't considered that. I have three 5-shot revolvers, (one with a 3" barrel). The new Kimber is a six shot and beefier than my J frames but I would still consider the K6s a pocket gun. I haven't had a chance to pick up the Cobra so I can't comment on it's size but when...

    Anyone Seen A CPX-3 Yet???

    Update: Living in the Midwest, I emailed a 'local' SCCY representative on 01/04/17 to inquire about the CPX-3. Still no reply. This email is in addition to the email I sent to a Florida SCCY Rep on 12/24/16. I haven't received a reply regarding that email either. It's a moot point for me...
