Hi, Wondering if anyone could advise me the correct factory grip for a S&W 66-1? I picked one up a few years ago (for a song) but it has what I believe is an aftermarket grip on it, that I find to be very poor. I'd like to track down some orginal (or at least correct style) stocks for it...

Hi, I've had a nagging issue with my handguns, they all seem to shoot to the left (require quite a bit of rear sight adjustment). I'm assuming that it's something in my technique that's throwing things off. It seems that they all can't be off 6" or so (S&W 686, Ruger MKII, Ruger Single...

Hi, I recently inherited a Winchester model 52 22 target rifle equipped with an unusual scope. It appears to be manufactured by J Unertl, and as far as I can tell is a 16 power scope. It also has an adjustable objective, and the windage / elevation adjustments are external. I was...

Hi Guys, Just picked up a pair of single action rugers; 1 - 3 screw blackhawk in 357. It's had the transfer bar conversion done, but it also included all the original parts. It's in great condition, and appears to have been fired very little, and never carried. S/N is 30-66xxx. 2 -...

Hi guys, Looking to take it to the next level and start chronographing my loads. Up to now I've just been "playing" really, never had any type of good velocity data to use / compare. When shopping around I stumbled on the Pact Mk IV timer with a built in chrono. Seems like a pretty good...

After months of trying to make up my mind to buy one, given the reports of poor quality, functioning, etc.. I finally broke down and ordered a PT111. Total cost was 353.19 including 7.25% NY sales tax, for a new PT111 with a stainless steel slide. The fit and finish of the pistol was quite...

After doing a couple k rounds for my 9mm with no issues I decided to load up some .357 magnums for my S&W 686.. Speer #12 lists a charge of 6.0 to 6.8 gr of 231 w/ 158 gr jacketed bullets. I loaded some once fired cases up with 6.4 gr's of 231, wsp primers, and 158gr XTP's. When fired...

Hi, My buddy just picked up a used Smith and Wesson model 66-1. He got a decent deal on it, but it has some issues.. If the cylinder is in 2 of the 6 positions it opens very hard, you can see where the cylinder is dragging on the frame (something bent from slamming it closed?).. I ran...

Recently ran across a cute little revolver, only markings are "baby hammerless", "Model 1910", and "pat apr. 5, 10". has a large K in a circle on each grip, and appears to be chambered for .22 short, 6 shot cylinder. Anybody have any info on this cute little guy? A search of the web...

Had the pleasure to shoot my friends PT-140 last night, fell in love with the little sucker (shooting cans at dusk). I was impressed with the accuracy, flash, and overall fun of the little gun. Looks like it would be an excellent option for ccw... On the downside the trigger was miserable...

Hi Guys, Looking for recomendations on IPSC/USPSA training videos? I've been bitten by the bug, HARD.. Managed a 2.155 hit factor first match, somehow brought it up to a 3.125 my second match.. I know with some work I could do much better, was going to just wing it, but I figured...

Hi guys, You all were spot on with the last advice you gave me, now this newbie has another question.. I loaded up some 9mm 124gr FMJ RN per the data in speer #12, 8.0 gr HS-7 (starting load).. It's the only listing I could find for 9mm w/ HS-7.. They have max listed @ 8.9.. This...

Hi Guys, Just started reloading, and I've got to say I'm having a blast! I've been reloading 9mm for my Ruger KP89 on a dillon 550 that I picked up. (I know you can buy 9's cheap, but I'm in it for the fun!).. I loaded up a couple box's of 115gr TMJ using speer's minimum data.. 4.5gr...

Hi all, Just picked up a complete loading outfit from a guy getting out (dillon 550B, rockchucker, all the dies goodies, etc..) I also got with the deal 30 or so pounds of powder (most of which appears to be 20+ years old, so I'm going to try and dispose of it as mentioned in the other...

Hi all, Finally got my pistol permit (yay!).. Picked up a VG condition used Ruger MKII 'Target'.. It has the adjustable sights, but I'm looking for alternatives.. The front sight has been painted white for better visibility by the previous owner, but it seems to me that they are just to...

Hi all, I've been toying with the idea of a new rifle for next season, I remember reading a blurb about the Tikka T3 in one of the magazines, but it doesn't say a whole lot.. Does anyone know where I can track down more info on this gun, or have any pro/con experiences they would like to...
