Follow the money. The gun industry's money that is.
If the industry had it's way, they would eliminate 80% of the cartridges out there. And then introduce a new super duper cartridge every two years, to get you to buy a new gun and ammo. That's how they make money, since guns last for...
Ahhhh, the 10mm cult continues unabated, with answers to a questions that have already been answered. I'd rather have a .44 Magnum for this purpose.
1. However this matters, the 10mm does not approach the .44 Mag in power. The wild-eyed loons that claim that the 10mm is the power equivalent...
Then you won't like this one any better....
The "black finish" is roachly, the DA trigger pull has been increased by a couple of pounds, and the S&W "improved" long snout tang is there. Other than that... it's says "Walther" on the slide. Was an interesting pistol in 1931, and long since...
The infamous Bell Crank Cube. It's a weak link in an otherwise fine powder measure system. When you buy the measure Dillon should provide a spare. I bought a small spare parts kit from them some years ago, and that is the first and only item I used from it. When another one broke, I emailed...
Even better idea would be a device that sorts the .45 ACP brass, then automatically destroys the SPP brass, so I don't have to waste time picking out and discarding that bean-counter blasphemy. Win-Win!
Indeed, it does vary. If you only load 9mm, well then that is time well spent.
I also enjoy reloading.... all 43 calibres I load for. And my ammo is also the "equivalent of premium factory ammo". But I enjoy shooting more, and there's only so much time in the days, weeks and months. More...
This right here sums up why this is a good little pistol. But if you can't shoot a DA revolver, you won't like the Bodyguard 380.
I've several of these over the years and the only real problem I had was the laser on the original. S&W upgraded it for free to the current Crimson Trace unit. I...
That's a nice looking compact kit! Add Q-tips and you're GTG.
I'm conflicted about pull-thrus however. They are way more compact, but you're not clearing a squib with that.
Does it even pay to reload 9mm anymore? To my mind, it is the 12 gauge target load of handguns.
I'd rather use those high-priced SPP on Super 38, .32 S&W Long, .32 H&R Mag, .32 Smokeless Rimless and .38 Special... factory ammo that is overpriced.
The RDS is greatest thing to hit police administrators since abandoning the 50 yard line! Everyone "qualifies", with less of that expensive training time and ammo.
I write as the now-retired head of field firearms training at a very large agency. Qualification is not about competency, it's...
Yes, and in my experience they are el stinko. Expensive, finicky and poor terminal performance. I know they have their fans, but I'm not one of them. Won't use them unless forced to.... and in most cases I'll just go hunt someplace else that doesn't require them.
After California mandated...
In my experience, nothing good! Functioning suffers, brass gets mangled, and the accuracy is best at the minimum levels that will operate the action. I loaded 2.6 grains of 700-X and the elusive Remington Targetmaster 148 HBWC with the messy graphite lube all over them. 2.8 grains was too...
It's hard to make a bad choice in .270 bullets.... other than trying to turn the rifle into something it isn't, by using too hard/too long bullets. For the past 30 years I've used the same Hornady 150 grain Interlock Spirepoint with 59.0 grains of H-4831, to take a small menagerie of game from...
That's certainly a unique look that makes a statement.
Undercover II is the same "Large" frame and cylinder as the Bulldog, in a 6-shot .38 Special, and has been named variously over the decades. My two are named "Police Undercover"
Makes my knees weak! I would have given my left arm for 2" Lawman back in the day. Never saw one at my LGS, and then they were discontinued. $1200 is steep.
Interesting, I was just having a conversation with a medical assistant last week about carrying at the doctor's office. As a 9/11 responder, I go for an annual checkup at a site with a lot of other retired LE. So the staff is used to people carrying their guns to the facility.
I carry...
