    Can you order cast lead boolits sans lube?

    An hour or so covered in a bowl of gasoline followed by a wash in soapy water, a thorough rinsing and air drying works for me, and doesn't bother the powder coating at all. After the gas evaporates out there's a buttery sort of residue left behind that is something similar to napalm. Use your...

    SW Ohio: Cabela's looks to add location in West Chester Ohio!

    Bass Pro is said to be building a new store at I75 and Union Center road - just a couple of miles away from this Cabela sight. The Bass Pro on 275 is an OK store in an empty abandoned rathole former mall and it's planned to be shut down when the new store is done.

    New LCR .38 - ammo question

    I've had one two years and love it. I use my own reloads for practice, and either Buffalo Bore 158 gr +P SWCHP's (1000 FPS) or Speer 135 gr +P JHP. The Remington FBI load ain't bad either - 158 gr SWCHP +P at about 850 fps.

    Single Stack 9mm

    +1 for a S&W 3913. I have a Ladysmith 3913 that I carry often. +2 for a SIG P225. Many P6's, although they're virtually identical to a P225, have a differently configured feed ramp that's designed for strictly FMJ's and will choke on most hollowpoints.

    Walther P1 Firing Pin Issue

    I finally got the thing disassembled. There's some serious peening around the "collar" of the firing pin - that has to be what's wrong, everything else looks OK. Ordered one from LugerDoc. Thanks again!

    Walther P1 Firing Pin Issue

    Hello all - I'm now a first time P1 owner, an extremely clean reworked upgraded BW from 1979 Fired it up today at the range and immediately found a semi-serious problem. Insert the mag, drop the slide, de-cock with the switch, return switch to Fire. Pull the trigger, the hammer falls, but...

    New S&W 637 from Cabela's. Sad state of affairs.

    The crown on my three-year-old 637 looks virtually identical to yours. Someone who's a FAR better shot than I am put three of three Speer 135 gr +P Gold Dots into the X at 25 yards with it, single action. Mine tend to be minute of pie-plate at 7 yards. :p

    Wolf 30 carbine ammo sucks

    Ole Painless tested this ammo in his Box O' Truth http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/edu19.htm

    question about a model 13

    The FBI carried it in the late 70's thru the early 90's, using .38 +P 158 gr LSWCHP's. It is the gun Jody Foster used in Silence of the Lambs to finish off Buffalo Bill! I love mine. 145 gr .357 Winchester SilverTips work well in it, without a lot of recoil.

    Some numbers on the Canadian Gun registry......

    I'll be curious to see how many Central American villas, nose candy, male and female "escorts" and exotic sports cars that paid for.

    Are Lady Smith's just for Ladies?

    I bought a 3913 Lady Smith a few years ago. It's accurate, reliable and disappears behind a T-shirt in the summertime. I understand that LS's come standard with a factory trigger job. Whatever, mine's very smooth. I've handled several non-LS 3913's at gun shows, and the triggers are...

    Springfield .45 ACP

    You're thinking about Glocks, which have unsupported chambers and KABOOM problems with reload ammo. Your Springfield of any sort will eat whatever you feed it.

    How far was the JFK shot?

    Quote: old blathering Dan Rather, speaking with total authority on a subject about which he knew nothing. He was there. Idiot that he is, he stationed himself on the wrong side of the overpass, but he was there. Out of eleventy-billion places on the motorcade route for an obscure radio...

    Inland M1 carbine

    Around here import marked carbines top out at about $500. I have a 43 Inland :)

    Anyone have experience with A-Grip?

    AGrip doesn't add any bulk at all - it's almost paper thin. I put one on my Glock 30, because when my hands are very damp in summer or very dry in winter, the stock plastic grip seems squirmy. The Agrip made a big difference, and just "feels" better on the pistol. I think they're a little...

    New S&W model 41

    I have an A serialed 7-3/8" barrel M41 built in 1980. It likes CCI standard velocity, and the new Federal Target standard velocity in the red box, which is quite inexpensive. Funnest gun I own.

    What firearms are sitting in your bedroom night stand?

    On my side - Glock 20 with 165 gr DoubleTap Golden Sabres. Passenger side (currently vacant) - Colt 1991A1 with 230 gr +P Rangers. In the closet, 5 feet away, Armalite AR15 20" with 30 rounds of Winchester M193, and a Mossy 590 with reduced recoil Ranger 00 buck, and a couple of slugs for...

    USGI 30 round mags for M1 Carbine?

    My 30 rounders that worked just fine in a Standard Products round bolt won't work at all in my Winchester or Inland flat-bolts.
