So far I really find the SS fun to plink with in .357, I put the hogue mono grip on it, the original wood grips are just painful with full house .357 loads. It is comfortable and the trigger is really nice. That being said, if think the Model 15 is a better all around gun. The trigger is amazing...

I have a .38 LCR with hogue grips that I have fired around 1500 rounds, about 500 of those were +P. Everything is still tight, not sure about people doubting the +p handling ability of the LCR but it may just be prejudice against the plastic :) The recoil gets to me at the range but I have no...

The ammo that was splitting was factory remington 125 grain sjhp.

Finally got to the range today. Purchased some Herters 158 grain FMJ and brought along a different box of the same type and brand of .357 that was giving me split cases. I am happy to say that I had no split cases and no signs of stretching, rings or pressure signs. I thoroughly enjoyed my...

Yeah I have been stressing about it because I can't get back to the range till Saturday but I have been reading that the nickel plating process can cause the brass to become brittle. I have also read its not uncommon for a bad batch to slide by Remington. So I will get to the bottom of this on...

I recently purchased a used Ruger Security Six and finally shot 12 rounds after an IDPA match just to see how she feels. I inspected the brass afterwards and found that 2 of the 12 has split cases, lengthwise in the middle, not at the mouth. I didn't check to see if they came from just one...

I just purchased a Ruger Security Six today, can't wait to shoot it. I got the 15-2 a month ago and have been loving it. Can't wait to shoot some stout .357 with the Ruger! Anyone have any opinions on the Ruger Security Six? It also came with a Hogue Monogrip. I paid $500, I was happy to but...

Put 250 rounds through it today. Shoots like a dream! POI is spot on with 158 grain after a little adjustment and a bit low with 125 grain. I found myself having a blast shooting one handed, my hand loves the K-frame.

I FIGURED IT OUT! The snap caps aren't super snug fitting, so when the gun was pointed up they would come out a little bit and hang up somewhere on the breech face. As soon as I pointed the gun down the snap caps moved a little bit and the cylinder would spin freely. I am an idiot.

Slightly with a plastic pen lid, dunno if pry is the best word since I just bumped it a little along the edges under the grip panel until it started to move then tipping it did it.

I tipped the gun upside down after noting where each screw went to remove the plate. The more I dry fire it the less the binding happens. I hope in my ignorance I didn't mess anything up.

I wish I would have taken a before picture, to be fair it looked really rough. But some elbow grease seems to take all the surface rust and grime off and it looks better than I could have imagined it capable of. I might have an addiction now for these... I love the feel of this piece!

So a co-worker has had what she said was an "old gun" sitting in her closet for the last few years. I said I would identify it if she wanted. The next day she sent me a picture of a K-frame Smith and Wesson I was able to identify as a model 15-2 mfg 1965. It had rust on the handle around the...

I am considering this for hiking/backpacking in the Wyoming, Montana area. But I would like to load at LEAST 300 grn hard casts, maybe 340s if it can handle it. Anyone have one of these? Is the cylinder long enough for higher OAL cartridges? I'm not talking about +P .44 loads just heavier ones...

I recently purchased a Ghost trigger bar reset. I meant to purchase the Ultimate version which requires no fitting and just drops in. Instead I received the Rocket version which requires fitting. I was hesitant to take on any project that involved removing material and maintaining a certain...

Let me start by saying I'm new to shooting in general, I got my first gun 2.5 years ago, a Ruger MKIII. I purchased that due to cost of ammo (remember $15 boxes of .22?) and to learn the basics of handgunning. Somewhere along the line of learning about firearms and falling in love with the sport...

I am looking to get my first revolver. I love Ruger and was planning on getting a Blackhawk in .357, however, I do not have a lot of money and would like the next gun I get to fill as many roles as possible. Those include: -Easy and comfortable to carry while hiking -Concealable for every day...
