    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...

    What does .22LR cost in YOUR area?

    Last week I shot up the last of my Coast to Coast ammo, (about 20 years old!) (I've been teaching Marksmanship to young people who'd never have a chance to shoot otherwise so I've expended a lot of ammo.) For years I've read about the shortage and I'm surprised to find it still with us in...

    Sizing Questions

    I have decided to purchase some Lee Sizers. I'm using nothing but Lee bullet molds and up to this point have been satisfied with my reloads. I'm ready to squeeze more accuracy out of my loads and thought sizing will help. I use range lead and am not planning to purchase bullets when I can...

    Anyone own a Chiappa M6?

    I stumbled upon an article on the Chiappa M6 and am very intrigued. http://rockymountainbushcraft.blogspot.com/2014/01/shot-show-2014-first-impression-review.html I would be interested in the .22LR/20 gauge model without the 8 X-Caliber sleeves, ($700.00 for gun & sleeves), that allow...

    Anyone own NON Rubber Grips for LCR?

    I'm curious to hear a shooter's review of any WOOD after-market grips used on the LCR models. Of particular interest would be what you perceived the recoil to be like compared to the rubber grips. Anyone that shoots .38 Special +P, .357 or 9 mm? https://eaglegrips.com/62-ruger-lcr-grips...

    Bought a new Ruger LCR in 9 mm... any questions?

    I traded in my .357 Magnum LCR for the 9 mm version. The .357 was becoming a safe queen since I either carry my S&W M642-Pro or Ruger SP101 .357, (both loaded with .38 Spc. +P) more often now. I didn't own a 9 mil handgun and thought it was time. Always wanted a 9 mil revolver. I like it...

    What's a good price for a 9mm a Glock?

    My 'kid' isn't interested in anything other than a Glock 9mm. (I am NOT a 'plastic is fantastic' gun owner and my collection reflects that!) He cannot be swayed and I'd rather have him carry Glock than nothing. However, my knowledge, concerning prices, is very limited on these. THR has...

    Stoeger American Eagle Luger

    One of the last pieces I simply have to add to my collection is a Stoeger American Eagle Luger. Years back, I saved up for one, went to buy it just to find out they had already sold it and couldn't get anymore! Argh!!! :cuss: That ever happen to you? I've checked the Internet and prices vary...

    .38 Special Moonclips... What am I doing wrong?

    I have a S&W 642-Pro with a cylinder that accepts Moon clips. Since S&W sent me three clips with the gun I started loading some up by hand. One horribly bent clip later I was writing out a check for the Moon clip tool. It arrived today. (Now having easily bent a clip I knew to bookmark some...

    Bauer .25 (Baby Browning Copy) Question

    I recently bought a Bauer .25 Auto, with the original box, for much less than LGS prices. No documentation though. Two questions.... #1. Where can I get the original documentation? A photo-copy or PDF would suffice as I'll never sell this piece anyway. #2. Where can I pick up an original...

    New S&W Revolver-with NO lock!

    While shopping for another revolver, I was surprised to see S&W has a new Model 642-No Internal Lock model. Could this be a new turn for Smith & Wesson? Though it's no big deal to remove the lock, which I did, I'd still prefer it not be on the firearm. Or at least manufactured in a manner...

    Why shouldn't I buy a Kel-Tec P-11?

    I'm interested in buying an inexpensive DAO 9mm pistol for 'night-time' house-hold emergency use. It would rarely be carried concealed, if ever, but instead occupy the dark confines of the bedroom safe. The inexpensive DAO P-11 seems to fit the bill as it's a "no-brainer" rack and shoot gun...

    Colored LCP Grip Frames

    I've exhausted my patience!! I saw a U-tube vid on how to change the grip frame on my LCP. There are some other unique styled/colored frames out there I'd rather have than just coal black. Where to buy them is my problem! It's the only Tactical Tupperware gun I own and I guess I'm just spoiled...

    H&R .32 Revolver or not?!

    Anyone have reliable info on this firearm? I know it accepts .32 S&W Long and what is stamped on the gun: Harrington & Richardson Arms Company Worcester, Mass. U.S.A. Pat'd Oct. 4th, (9th?), 1887 I'd love to hear anything about it, including it's value.... please

    What is this piece?

    I've been doing a complete take-down/cleaning of my S&W revolvers. My 629-4 3" has never been disassembled, (it's a PC piece so I didn't mess with it until now). After removing the trigger, I saw a piece I was unfamiliar with. Hmmm... I checked my Kuhnhausen manual and didn't see it listed...

    LCR Lubrication

    The Ruger manual states you should lubricate the hammer and hammer pivot pin every 1,000 times the hammer has been used in either live or dry firing. It also says: "Using a small punch, gently push on hammer pivot pin until the pin is recessed about .10” deep. CAUTION: DO NOT COMPLETELY...

    New barrels for old Beretta's

    I have a Beretta 950BS in .22 Short and a Beretta 1935 in .32 ACP. I'm interested in buying a non-standard, (3.75") barrel versus the standard 2.38" barrel for the 950 and an exact replacement barrel for the 1935. I've checked the net and, of course, Numrich, but to no avail. Both guns...

    Double-Tap (Handgun)

    Need some advice. Not sure which to buy first.... the DT in 9mm, (I usually carry a .45 or .357 but I don't own a handgun in 9mm) OR the .45 ACP. Figured the wife can purse the .45 ACP DT, (she's also a LEO & qualifies on the 9mm) on trips while I carry the 1911. I'm thinking that in an "oh...
