    Dave Manson Reamers

    LOL! Guilty of my own thread drift but being a fan of Savage actions - interesting... never knew of Stevens 200 action variant. Tinkered with an older Savage .243. IMO an outstanding “working man’s tool.” Regret selling it.

    Dave Manson Reamers

    I don’t post much but have to give a shout out to Dave Manson Reamers. Great tools, even better ppl to deal with. Long story short - I’m a tinkerer/bit of a perfectionist who enjoys working on my own stuff. Not a ‘smith. After learning of Dave Manson Reamers, I bought a crown kit plus a...

    .338-06 vs .30-06 for a Bush Gun.

    I like your idea of finding a bubba'd something and building on it. If a .338 mag is out of the question, then my vote goes for the .338-06 solely because I have one and like it a lot. I also think that if a good rebore 'smith is available you might consider that route. FWIW, years ago I...

    A sporterized Enfied No4 Mk1 for my collection of crap

    Big fan of sporterized milsurps as well! Nice work there. Being in the same boat as you wrt eyesight, I've come to like the look with vintage or vintage-looking scopes, esp the old "no-front-flare" Weavers. Won't be surprised if that old war horse shoots as well as it looks!

    Switched to a revolver for ccw...

    Didn't realize there were so many other revolver fans. I switch off between a S&W 36 snubbie in a pocket holster, a S&W 64 3" in an IWB, a CA .44 Bulldog in a pancake, a Glock 19 in an IWB or tuckable, and lately an old Romanian Tok in a belt slide holster. Depends where I'm going, what I'm...

    Rubber grips going back on my Bulldog.

    Went from the wood to the CA rubber on my Classic 3" and helped a lot. The wood ones had a brutal bite. Might try Compacs, but like the slimmer CA rubber grips.

    Seriously Glock?

    Well... Long time pistolero here. Owned and shot BHPs, 1911s, Rugers, numerous S&W revolvers and semi autos over decades. Shot competition regularly. Never liked the feel of Glock, but wanted an EDC gun I wouldn't be concerned about - so bought my first plastic gun, a Gen4 G19, last summer...

    Glock 19 trigger

    I got a Gen 4 g19 as a regular carry piece. My first Glock. Couldn't get used to the trigger or get over the pie plate groups because of it. Did some research and ended up getting the Ghost Evo Elite. Didn't install the springs, only the connector. Huge difference. I understand the...

    Nano for Charter arms?

    IMO&E - no comparison between Beretta and Charter. After YEARS of wanting one, looking and waiting, I finally bought a new, CA Bulldog Classic. There were issues with QC. I contacted CA and never even got a response. In fairness, the gun shoots well enough, but: I had to repair it to...

    CMP 1911 price announcement

    I've been watching for these. Dunno if I'll bite. I'd pay a grand but the ones I used in the late 80s were ratty, shot out mix-masters. We'd clean them via assembly line. Some of us disassembled and tossed barrels in one tank, receivers in another and small parts in a third; they'd get...

    25 ACP Hollow Point

    Here's two flavor for you and by the box: http://www.sgammo.com/catalog/pistol-ammo-sale/25-auto-acp-ammo I've ordered plenty from SGA and never had an issue. FWIW, years ago a coworker was shot in the forehead by a guy with a .25 at a distance of approx 5 feet. The bullet entered...

    Who owns a Marlin 25

    I have a 25N, 22LR and it's a great gun. Accurate, fun to shoot. I did the trigger spring/ball point pen spring replacement and it helped the trigger a lot.

    Out-of-the-box, Who's best?

    A Colt Series 80 I owned for about 10 years and shot regularly was rock-solid. A Beretta 92 I've owned for about as long but shot a lot less has also been perfect. Zero issues or malfunctions with either.

    Vintage Japanese Tasco scopes

    Thx for the heads up. I have a thing for old scopes and was aware of Tasco's Japanese products.

    Most authentic SAA clone?

    This has been a very informative thread -thanks to all who have contributed! Now I want one of those 5 1/2 Taylor's in .45!!

    "Enhanced Penetration" handgun rounds.

    Yep. It seems regular bullets with enough velocity will penetrate beyond what one might think.

    Bulldog 44 Spl

    A lot of folks like this for Charter - https://www.underwoodammo.com/bull-dog-44-special-200-grain-bonded-jacketed-hollow-point/ I'm on their "notify" list and haven't tried it, but some Magtech .44 lead, flat nose Cowboy Action loads shot pretty well in my new Mfg 3" Classic model. IMO...

    Is anyone changing carry/training distance in light of terrorrist threats?

    Re original question - yes. Went from considering car jacking or armed robbery as a most likely potential scenario to including multiple attackers at longer range as another. Also considered various conditions under which I'll carry and repercussions if ever involved in a shootout. Those...

    Your Next Handgun - Which One, and How You Plan to Get It ?
