    Hate to beat a dead horse(another Servicios & Aventuras SPP post)

    After expounding on my very positive experience with S&A primers I feel I should relate my last range trip results with S&A SPP. Six out of 50 38spl rounds FTF on the first strike. Three fired after two or three additional strikes. Three never did fire after several strikes and will be pulled...

    Hornady Unique case lube

    After reading some here use case lube with carbide dies I've been experimenting with Unique paste case lube on cleaned/polished 38spl cases. Prior to this my Lee powder drop die had been sticking after dropping powder and retracting case. I've been swiping the paste wearing a black nitrile glove...

    A rookie question about decapping live primers

    I've primed a couple split cases by accident and wondered what the concensus is about removing them the same way I do spent primers. Eight cents isn't worth taking a chance of a primer going off in my face is my gut feeling but heard others say they do it. What say you?

    Life expectancy of 38spl brass

    After reloading Remington 38spl brass at least 8-10 times I'm starting to see a split case now and then probably one out of 600. I usually notice it when seating a bullet it seats too easily and it's always traveling from the mouth end of the case. I know over flaring cases can shorten brass...

    S&W Model 65-2 transitional 3" 357

    I just bought a nice looking Model 65-2 3" 357 but when I got home I noticed two curious looking parallel lines in the frame. Never have seen this before and wondering if anyone here has any clues of what this is about. They're not scratches or wear but look to be machining marks. any help...

    Pre Model 10 snub

    My LGS has a nice S&W pre Model 10 2" 5 screw on the shelf marked $599. No box. It has some honest holster wear but doesn't look like it's been fired much. Locks up tight with very little lateral cylinder movement and little obvious cylinder end shake. Square butt diamond grips are in nice...

    Truck/car lock box suggestions

    I've made a truck lock box(handgun)out of a modified old small ammo can($15) secured with a padlock and cabled to the seat bracket until or if I find something better. My setup requires only one key and fits under my seat out of sight. I use it for times I've got to go to "prohibited" places...

    Verified GB seller

    I found a revolver I'm interested in on GB yesterday offered by a "verified" but NR(non registered) seller. Usually I won't deal with NR sellers but it's a good price and he's Verified. The NR, low price and I just noticed 3/3/2023 join date has me suspicious. He's got a couple others listed...

    Servicios Aventuras SPP

    I recieved 3K Argentina made SPP a couple days ago and loaded up 50 to try today. I used 158gr Xtreme RNFP 38spl over 6.2gr HS-6 using these new primers in Remington & Perfecta brass. The loading was done on a Lee Classsic Turret press and the primers seated as easily as any of the other SPP...

    Argentina SPP

    I'm buying 3K Argentina made SPP today after reading good reviews. I plan on using them for 38spl and light 357 loads. My powders on hand are Titegoup, HP-38 and HS-6. They're $75/1000 so I thought I'd try them. Anyone have experience with these?

    Dremel time for grip mod

    After good luck buying NOS "Original Mustang" zebrawood combat grip for a Ruger Speed Six I decided to chance one with finger grooves from a seller who didn't know what they fit. I figured they'd fit some revolver I own and for $30 I'd take a chance. They turned out to fit a Model 64 S&W RB I...

    HS-6 storage

    I just bought 7lbs of hs-6 in an 8lb jug. I won't use all of it for quite a while and was considering putting it in empty 1 pound hp-38 jugs I have. I thought the powder would store better in full containers rather than having all that air in a half or less full 8 lb. jug. Provided the old jugs...

    Question for Dan Wesson revolver owners

    I replaced the old yolk retention latch(clip) with a new EWK latch. The old horse shoe shaped latch was flat on one side like it had been fitted. The new one was round. Is this part supposed to be fitted or can it be installed as is which is what I did. After installation the cylinder yoke was...

    Old Mustang Combat grip for Ruger Speed Six

    Searching ebay for wood grips for a Speed Six 2 3/4" 357... I found a NOS Mustang Zebrawood grip. The seller bought the inventory of an old gun shop that was closing. These came in the original pristine box that must have been tucked away for decades since Mustang went out of business in the...

    Walked into a NC knife store...

    While visiting family in NW North Carolina my B-I-L took me to a knife store. Literally wall to wall knives. I passed a display case with this handmade Winkler belt knife and it stopped me in my tracks but I knew it was going to be expensive so I moved on. It kept drawing me back so I walked out...

    I'm considering ordering one of these for my Ruger GP100. It's the typical green FO with a ring of tritium around the end of it for day and night use. Anyone here have experience with this sight?

    Azula holsters

    I've been happy with two IWB Azula revolver holsters & one 2 slot OWB so I ordered a IWB for a Sig P226. I noticed today two of them were stamped "made in USA" and two were "made in South Africa". I'm curious why but my theory is the older stock was made in S Africa & the current Azula are made...
