Are Star bm9 pistols drop safe when the hammer is down on a loaded round?

I was hoping for better as their smaller .38 revolvers like the 856 seem to still be hanging in there . I thought with an availability of consistently decent quality metals here they would tighten up. G-series semi-autos are popular but until years prove them out, Taurus USA has a lot of baggage...

Has quality and consistency of the steel, aluminum etc. used since the USA plant got going seem better than the hit& miss stuff they used in Brazil? I think it is. With the better QC I may actually buy another now after having trouble in the past ( other than my old m. 85).

Cool thx

Visiting NC from FL and wondering if I can buy a handgun from an FFL here for transport back to FL via car? Or can I buy and ship FFL to ffl? My ccw shares reciprocity if that matters.

After blasting away with diff loads I started thinking about all being said here. I realized in a dim bulb moment I have always considered shotgunning from a sporting field load perspective; testing diff. Loads and spreads with field shot. Every shotgun barrel is a bit different so patterning...

That’s interesting. I wonder what load the coach gun was using as it sounds like they experimented and hand loaded something. I have an 18.5 double that will be spread over bmyold Rem 1100 skeet gun; however that is at distance. The Flight Control rounds hold a small pattern out to about 45 yds...

Roger that thanks. I am experienced with sporting shotguns and had a shockwave. I reload for Skeet but did not know the burn rate in very short barrels of the older powders we are stocked up on. Thanks for the tip on that; saves me hunting down my old Jethro Bodine powder cypherin’ chart books...

I want a sbs for the house with a 12” pattern from a 12 ga., at 20 feet. Open cylinder. What length barrel would I need to stamp? Would I get more burn from a 20 gauge in that length barrel? High brass, oo to 0000 buck? Thanks

Can wiping down a grip/ slide, etc hurt a modern finish on a S&W blued or non-stainless pistol?

Excellent! Thx all

Is .22wrf like a .22wmr ‘short’? A shorter case but still more powerful than .22lr? Thanks

Gotcha thanks!

Used to not be hard; but I am actually having trouble finding a leather pancake no-cant vertical holster for a 3” k frame. Much less a basic open top without a thumb break . I’ll solve my left handed holster problem if I get that far. I carry just forward of the hip & vertical draw is easier for...

Now that is a beauty! Finding any revolver, much less that particular H&A model with folding hammer spur, with that kind of quality nickel finish still intact, is a fine gift indeed!

Looking at the blued 3” Talo gp100. I saw a Gunbroker dealer with two auctions of the same model ( 01790); but one listing ended with an L1 after the model number; and the other listing had an L2. Both arex 01790 models. What is the diff between the two, or is there one? Are the diff L...

Has anyone come out with an aftermarket adjustable rear sight for the p365xl? May be fun to try groups at range distances out beyond 25-30yds without the holdover guesswork.

Thx Rock! Thought so but just not very familiar with those outside the standard Mark series Troopers, never shot a Border Patrol and didn’t know for certain that was assoc. with the Trooper generations. More of a S&W guy but no excuses other than pleading ignorance . I imagined there may have...

Was the Border Patrol .357 a variant or maybe later ‘cousin’ of the Colt Trooper ?

Thx all: I had been thinking this past few minutes that maybe somebody put a longer follower from a reg 265 mag in it by mistake! I’ll get the loader, thanks again
