    Subcompacts w/ Mag Extenders

    12 rd S&W mags ( 469, etc) place the finger rest in perfect position as is in a Kel Tec P11 . The 15 rd mags fit and function, but depending on your hand size and shape might be more comfortable with an adapter. A 12 rd will interfere with most pocket carry, but usually fine for belt and...

    You know you want the Winchester, so just get one. My personal favorite is the Ted Williams M100 . Made for Sears by Winchester , post '64, pre safety . Has 20 in bbl with rifle style forend. As far as I know not offered with Winchester name in modern times.

    Making a .22 more accurate?

    Are there pics not showing up on my smart phone ? Otherwise, how big ARE the groups ? Even though I don't usually bother, it couldn't hurt to season the bbl . Some people swear by it, others find it makes no difference, But it won't make anything worse. Try a different scope of known...

    Sig Mosquito vs. Walther p22

    Just bought one. Going in with my eyes open. It is a pink one, and daughter (13) is a sucker for pink. For me it can be an understudy for civillian P225 . Stripped it, cleaned and lubed. Was going to have her fire off a mag to function test before work tonite, but thunderstorm rolled...

    approved solution for new vaquero crummy finish

    Just use it as is. If it wears enough to offend you, it's no more trouble to refinish then.

    Maryland Law concearning Converters

    As to ammo in question, two choices, use hollow base bullets to bump up to bbl dia. Or have bbl relined to .357, which is reportedly still usable with cap & ball cylnder. Reading through Marylands ststutes recently, as a cap & ball, it is not a "firearm", and not regulated under those...

    Help me pick a rifle to go with my new truck!

    Vintage '94 or Marlin or mid priced American double 12 ga obvious choices. Mdl 70's fine guns, but a bit upscale for the image. In those days the "everyman" bolt gun would have been a sporterized .30-40 Krag. For more of an individualist image a Rem 81.

    Taking off old crust

    While nothing will totally not impact the finish, but 0000 (four O) steel wool with oil is plenty mild.

    What is the best S&W .38 ?

    More Mdl # trivia For a period of time, just before the move to full lug bbls, the "14" was dropped as a seperate model number, and became a 6" bbl option on a "15". In any case the origional poster should buy the gun. FWIW sometimes a .357 will shoot .38s just as accurately, sometimes not...

    Taurus 431 (.44spl w/ 3" barrel)...pros & cons?

    The good news - More closley resembles K fr than later Taurus. The bad news _ More closley resembles K fr than later Taurus. 441 better as a field and belt gun. 445 beter as pure concealment. Of course I routinely conceal k frames, so that isn't a real problem. When 441 were current, then...

    Holster recommendation for 629 classic 5 inch?

    Even though not concealing, still look at #77 Tortilla. Carries out of the way , yet easier to draw from than other "really high" holsters. The origional Roy Baker pancake came with 3 slots to allow crossdraw ,or strieght up & down, with same holster. Many companies offer 3 slot holsters, but...

    I want a .357 Single Action

    Have a 6.5" 3screw, and two 4 5/8convertables. Just to be different, I prefer the feel of standard Blackhawk grips. For really hot .45 LC, the Bisley handles recoil beter, but doesn't point as naturaly. The SBH slams my knuckle. The 3 screw 6.5 balances the best(also have same in .41), but the...

    Inherited Colt .32-20

    I have my father's old PPS .32-20, butit's in pretty rough shape. Back in the day the .32-20 had somewhat of a following among outdoorsmen who didn't need massive power. Power was comparable to solid .38 spl RN of the day, but with flatter trajectory. Unless you feel that all revolvers of " a...

    .38-200, Super Police data needed

    Outside of the Box "WARNING : The concepts discussed here probably do not produce high pressures, but no published data is known to exist, and involves speculative load developement" The powder that jumps to mind is XMP-5744. In strieght wall cases it is generally regarded as being able...

    Body armor?

    For $70 sounds as if must be stolen. Generally the "experation" dates in addition to proper storage & care, presume that vest is worn ALL day, EVERY day for that period (usually 5 yrs). The flexing of the vest as worn , and the fibers rubbing against each other will eventually cause wear &...

    Ruger Bisley 45 Colt can't be fitted with a 45 ACP cylinder???

    Also the Bisleys use non fluted cyl, the convertable Blackhawks are all fluted.

    Question about securing a car gun

    Having gun firmly secured inside car is beter than not, but in my area the biggest risk is of the entire car being stolen. Doesn't mater if gun is origionally targeted or not.

    $200 to spend on a handgun - what do you get?

    Alas, $200 doesn't do what it used to. 1 st sugguestion from hard experience, is to skip lunch, beer, etc for a month and start out with a slightly beter gun to start with instead of as a replacement. "around $250"is the new "$200". In my area the trade in revolver supply is pretty well...

    Cost of rebluing?

    D-I-Y , Also I have had good results in cold blueing even practically bare guns. The Brownell's products are superior to normal over the counter products. The Oxpo Blue is marginally longer wearing, but the T4 is easier to get a good , even coloring, and is nearly as durable. Depending on how...

    Refinishing at home

    Brownell's Blueing Oxph-Blue is good stuff, but having tried both their T-4 gives easier, more consistant coloring.
