I saw one of these babies at the Shot Show in Jan 2005. Put one on order when I got home. Waited for the rest of 2005---no gun. Tuarus is late. Then people on the internet started talking about shooting them and problems. Apparently at the end of 2005 a few were released to the cowboy shooter...

Another method that is accurate enough (but not perfectly accurate) is: *close the bolt of the rifle--empty chamber *slide a cleaning rod with a flat end piece on it into the barrel and touch the bolt with it *mark the rod with a ink marker holding the marker vertical to the bore *seat the...

Reguardless of what is posted above (analogies of auto stirkes and base ball bat hits) the fact remains that if there is a chance the bad guy will stop at all, it certainly is much higher with a big bullet moving fast than with a little bullet moving slowly. That's common sense. if you want...

For a beginning reloader you should follow the "recipe" exactly. When you fully understand all the principals of reloading you can then deviate from it. Your 0.006 inch shortness will do virtually nothing but if you errored in the wrong way you could get the bullet jambed into the rifling...

Here's the situation you might encounter: Some doped up bad guy decides to hurt you. If you shoot him with a 22 he may not even feel it in his doped up state as the damage to his body if not in the right place will be minimal. Hit him with a bullet with three times the energy and four times the...

As for believing Texas High Standard: Forget it! My and others experiences with them has proven that they are not schedule oriented and will tell you anything to satisfy you , then not deliver. I highly recommend NOT doing business with them, even for a AMT clone (no matter the model). If you...

poncaguy: Dan Wesson seemed to believe (base on ?) that forcing cone errosion was also a problem. That's why they included a free barrel with my 357Maximum some 20 years ago. So while you have eliminated the top strap cutting you may still have to contend with forcing cone errosion in a TC or...

Yes, sorry, topstrap! LDBennett

I owned a AMT Backup in .380. Not a very nice gun! It threw brass every which way which is a bad thing if you are a reloaded. You could not keep the spent brass on a 6 ft by 6 ft tarp. The trigger was absolutely terrible. The gun twisted and turned and chewed up my hand with each shot. I sold...

The comparison of the Ruger to the Sig is like comparing a stripped down Chevy station wagon to a top of the line Chevy Corvette. Which is better? It is not fair to compare! The Ruger is a relatively inexpensive utilitarian gun, made using modern inexpensive methods. The Sig is a precision...

I have a Colt Delta Elite (10mm) that i bought the first year they were out. I initially loaded it to full potential but the recoil was a bit much. As I only shoot at paper I reload it to 40 S&W levels and only occassionally shoot full power loads. The recoil: 45ACP is a big push 357Mag...

Sounds like the "Flame Cutting of the backstrap Issue" first noted on the 357 Maximum cartridge guns years ago has returned with the new high pressure catridges! Note that Ruger abandoned that cartridge when the noise from the customers got too loud. Dan Wesson (DW), which is a much larger...

I know ASA is out of business: Who made their products (in house or imports)? Did someone buy up their existing stock? Are they doing business under another name? Who were they? Why did they go away? They had big ads in the Shotgun News, parts for sale at Brownells, and a real...
