    What do you think about this gun?

    I have a Taurus 605 (light weight .357 Mag version of the Model 85). Although it is the most accurate of my snub-nosed revolvers, it is a terrible gun. The trigger bull in double action is horrible, and the cylinder rotation is very rought and uneven (even when keeping the extractor rod and...

    If you could keep only one revolver...

    My Colt Python .357 Mag. Action like glass (single and double), very accurate, and still mean looking after all these years!

    The "Abomination" is for sale again

    "Aren't brightly-colored "real" guns illegal in some jurisdictions?" I also would be concerned that the gun is red, making it look like an Airsoft Toy. A kid could pull the trigger and lead to tragedy (thinking it was an Airsoft toy). Airsoft guns used to be made of lightweight plastic, but...

    Colt Trooper MKIII

    I bought my Trooper MK III (.357 Mag 4" barrel) about 15-years ago in a similar condition to your discription. I think I paid about $300 back then. Although it has a nice action, I have found the barrel leads worse than any of my S+W Revolvers, and even when cleaned, isn't as accurate. But I...

    Bullet Casting Question (Fumes)

    You mentioned your pets. Never cast around your pets. They are lower to the ground than you are, and if lead splatters a little (which it will once in a while), it could hit your pet. Also, if you don't wear good gloves and cover your arms, you will get the same experience yourself. I have...

    How are nickel cases better than brass?

    "If nickel was so hard, why would an ammunition company put it on the outside of a bullet?" Don't forget, many of the early (and very high quality) smokeless military round nosed bullets were "Cooper Nickle" in design. I have pulled a number of these bullets, swaged them to ensure they are...

    Cabela's Blue Ridge .36 or Traditions Shenandoah .36

    The Traditions .32 Crockett rifles are known to shoot very accurately "The Traditions .32 Crockett rifles are known to shoot very accurately" I have one of the Traditions .32 Crockett rifles with the matching .32 Crocket Pistol. The workmanship in my rifle is very nice, but the pistol isn't...

    cleaning/short-term storage

    I did lots of experiments to try and prevent rusting. I have lived in a fairly low humidly environment for years (California and Nevada), so my technique might not work somewhere more humid. I take the "sack up" silicone idea one step further. I tried a number of silicone sprays to see which one...

    just purchased my first XD!

    Have had my XD40 for 2 1/2 years now. No regrets. It's a great gun.

    low intensity conflict: 5.56x45mm vs 7.62x39mm

    The problem has already been solved, it's called the 6.8mm round. An M-16 is 7.62x39 would probably also be a decent compromise solution. After years of never wanting to own one (an only owning an AR-15), I decided to buy a Norinko SKS-M Paratroop Model (Detachable AK Mag model) for the heck of...

    Bizzare range session

    I'm a reloader, but understand that ranges have high everhead costs. Whenever shooting at an indoor range, I will still buy a fox of ammo from the counter (even tough I am shooting several others I reloaded or bought somewhere else). If they sell guns at resonable prices, they don't make much...

    Heavy Sleeper

    Get a teenager and give them a telephone and a Energy Drink ... they will stay up all night (almost as good as my dog). Couldn't help it ... I'm a partent with a teenager.

    Beretta 92

    I have owned a 92FS for about 15 years (and also shot the M9 in the military). Although it is very smooth, if picking a defense pistol that needs to be acurate, I will grab my Springfield XD. Although my "Bright Blue" Browning Hi Power is stunning to look at, I find it isn't a "natural pointer"...

    Does anybody know anything about "Flash Ball"?

    Perhaps its like a "Flash Stun Gernade" like used by SWAT Teams, that produces a bright light and a big bang to stun the bad guys.

    Perfect 9mm pistol

    I agree the CZ has made a really strong impression since it's introduction, but I've been truly impressed by my Springfield XD (and I don't even like plastic framed guns). It points very well, is comfortable, acurate and reliable. And the price is very fair.

    Lets play a Game, Mines better than yours!

    Although I like you S&W 65LS because it's a smooth handling K-Frame, my Colt Python beats it hands down .... since it's "action" is smooth enought to make even a plastic surgeon blush!

    Ruger troubles

    My expereince with Ruger customer service was fantastic. I purchased a Super Blackhawk that had been abused by the previous owner with an invisible (fix) that didn't beome apearnat until after firing 20-shots. I admittted to Ruger I bought the gun used, and expected to pay full price for the...

    Pretty new at this....

    "I suggest you get at minimum one more reloading manual" I agree. And, as far as what Lee makes that is good (no all of it is), the newest Lee Loading manual may very well be the finest manual on the market for the money. I have lots of other manuals, but I always seem to go to the Lee for a...

    Nice P1 from Dan's Ammo.

    I have to pinch myself evertime I see the price of a P-1. I bought mine used (but mint condition) in abount 1995. It was imported by "Interarms", says "P38" on it instead of "P1", but sice it has an alloy frame and a flat back barrel, it's definately a P-1 in style. I paid about $500 for it...
