Sandblast it and re-parkerize it.

No offense taken here Driftwood, nice .44 special BTW!

And it's still a square butt frame! Still not sure if I want to sell this thing....

I knew that title would get some folks hahaha I have recently acquired a Model 10-8, that has a few modifications ... a few ... This was a prize gun, built by Fred Schmidt. #41 of #250 of his short cylinder guns (so I've read on PPC forums). It has an Aristocrat three position rib, what...

I like Bianchi or Galco for off the shelf type holsters. I really like my MKII Do All holster from Big Ugly Leather Works. It is a convertible leather IWB/OWB. The "Ugly Tuck" is a nice piece of leather as well, for those that like the Comp-Tac style holsters, but would rather have an all...

Texas here. As on Sept. 2013, a CHL class requires only 4 hours minimum, as opposed to the 10 hours it used to be, along with a proficiency test. There were two people in my class, went through the "classroom" part for 6 hours, and headed to the range. You need to be able show that you know...

That looks like a 1911. An original 1911, not a 1911A1. It has a long trigger, short grip safety spur, and a flat mainspring housing with a lanyard. Throw some new springs in the thing and start shootin.

Thanks for the tips everybody. My oal is at 1.265" , and post taper crimp is at Wilson Combat's recommended .469", so I believe I'll be alright. Headspacing is perfect in my A1 barrel, and they cycle reliably. Say a prayer for me guys. Off to the range.

I got my data from the 47th Lyman manual. I read that 5.0 gr of Unique is enough to push the 230 at around 720 fps, and I figured that was a tad slow, and the max is 7.0 gr. I read 6.0 is a happy medium, and closest to military ball ammo, so that's what I started out with, and can adjust my...

It is the mid range load. I am using a Lyman 500 scale (AKA Single beam balance), so just in case it is off, (it's not. verified scale was accurate) I can go 1 gr of powder up or down, and still be in the safe zone.

I have a large handful of my first reloads. .45 ACP - 230 Gr. FMJ 6.0 Gr. of Unique. Shooting them this Sunday. Is there any way I can cure first shot apprehension? My mom and dad never liked reloads in the slightest bit, and I guess for that reason I always shied away from it...

Regardless of their intentions, they are in jail. I do believe we should have the option to open carry, I will not participate though. I do not see the merits of drawing that much attention to yourself.

Sam1911 Open carry of long guns is legal. The open carry of handguns is illegal. Simple as that. I was a member of their organization, till they started getting too active for me. I told everyone of those people they WILL get arrested for doing it. They did not listen. They have have found a...

Quick $0.02. Intended Uses - I originally wanted a gun that I could take to a "fighting shotgun" class without worrying about damaging pretty wood and blued steel. I have a 12ga Beretta A303 Ducks Unlimited now, which is a fantastic gun, but it is awfully pretty, and it would break my heart to...

Here's the 52 Wingmaster .... and it's for sale.

Can you take a picture of the cylinder bushing? I like the idea of a cylinder pin that doesn't foul too much.

Drop the internals, and get to polishing.

I remember when this happened. It was about an hour away from my hometown. Here's an interview with Vic Stacy: http://youtu.be/4g1n8cmwhIY

I shot my first deer with a Marlin 9mm carbine, but wouldn't use it again, unless I had to. I would have no problem using one of my BP revolvers (all .44's). I have know folks who have took em down with .45 LC and .357's. Dad uses a .454 Casull and has taken down at least 4 deer with it with one...
