I've got something of a wager going with an acquaintance about people's perceptions of any given gun brand. I find it interesting how certain brands are perceived by people (Mac vs. PC, Chevy vs. Ford, that kind of comparison) and how the marketing of the brand affects what people buy. To...

Two Lee Loadmasters, fully optioned, and a Lee Challenger "O" press for large rifle things.

My first progressive was a Dillon RL550b. After using it for a few years. and tiring of its limitations and problems, I decided to try a LoadMaster. I used the Red and the Blue side-by-side for over a year, and eventually sold one of them. No, it wasn't the Lee! There are now 2 LoadMasters...

You needed to add this::banghead: The Colt impinging hand lockwork is no more "delicate" than any other mechanism. It does, however, have one particular DESIGN FUNCTION that leads to a higher maintenance interval than folks are used to. The impinging hand butts up hard against the ratchet...

There is much misinformation promulgated about the Colt impinging hand lockwork, but this is one I haven't seen before. It is, however, incorrect. The extension on the rebound lever does not flex in any direction; it rides on the cam surface of the hand, and is trapped between the hand itself...

I've heard this many, many times over the years. Each time, I've taken a loaded Safariland and thrown it on the floor or against a wall. Never, in the HUNDREDS of times I've done this, using both new and well-used loaders, has so much as a single round come loose. I've dropped them countless...

Dan Wesson has factory drilled and tapped shrouds available for both Weaver and Burris bases. Since DW shrouds fit both old and new revolvers, you could buy a used DW and simply order the new shroud from the factory. And, of course, when you get tired of that configuration (or just need a...

I too have small hands; an N-frame is WAY to big, L-frames are barely there. The solution for me has been a Dan Wesson! Aside from superior accuracy and durability, you'd get interchangeable barrels, sights, and of course grips. The latter are very important in your case, and very uniquely done...

Well, that's true - because the only Matebas being imported are the auto-revolvers. Mateba has a history of making absolutely innovative revolvers. In fact, the current Mateba Auto-Revolver is a serious disappointment to me - because it's a ripoff of the Webley-Fosberry, not an original...

A long time ago, I had a url for a site that compared the causes of child deaths - but unlike most, this had statistics for the number killed by skateboards, swimming pools, allergic reactions, dog bites, etc. versus the number that were kille by gunfire. Can anyone point me to the right...

Only partially true. The hand is the only part that can be peened to affect fit. Unfortunately, the peening only works within limits (it won't correct for major lockup problems), and only once. Because most people let the problem go too far, past the point where peening is viable, I've had to...

Time to clear up a longstanding misconception For many years now, "knowledgable" shooters have opined that the old-style impinging hand Colt revolvers are somehow "delicate". I've had people tell me that they expect Colts to actually blow up because they're "delicate"! First things first...
