What is the cause of the shortage? The rash of new pistols in that chambering? Lack of popularity?

Please don't be testy. I do not see where you said you could lock the gun up without ammo. I do not see where you tried factory ammo. There may be something wrong with the gun but the data you have posted here would not lead me to that conclusion. YMMV and obviously does. I try to...

I bought one for a granddaughter a couple of years ago. I would prefer a feed ramp to aid in loading. I was pleased with the aperture sight. I was not pleased that there is no leftward travel left after I sighted it in. I was pleased with the accuracy. Amazing little gun. Sort of...

swinokur: Noted. We have the same law in NC. No kids or grandkids in the home anymore. Everything secured when they are present. However, I am still not concerned for reasons stated previously. The P-64 is a Polish designed knock-off of the Walther PPK with some notable deficiencies...

swinokur: Har! You haven't tried to fire a P-64 have you? Takes me two hands with two fingers on the trigger for the first (DA) shot. My comment was partially 'tongue-in-cheek,' ... but only partially.

MCgunner wrote "Okay, for the logic part, it'll do anything the .44 mag can do and do it at lower pressures." Not hardly. 240 grains at 1500 fps trumps 250 gr at 900 fps any day of the week even at 0.02 inches smaller in diameter (0.429 vs 0.451.) You must be thinking of the big brother...

Seconds on the CZ 452 22LR. I doubt it matters which one you select. I bought the Trainer, with Mauser style tangent sight, calibrated from 25 to 200 yards. The LUX is the same gun with prettier wood. The FS has the mannlicher stock which is real attractive. American comes without...

What is the concern you are trying to address with the lock box? I keep a stock Radom P-64 in the nightstand. With a 24# trigger pull, I am confident that no child will be able to discharge it and also confident I will not set it off accidentally groping in the dark. For every problem...

I haven't looked in the past month or so. Earlier in the summer, I saw box of 50 at Gander Mountain for $79. At a local shop, boxes of 25 were going for about $20. Ya gotta love a 41 to pass a 44 for it, 'cause ya really pay for it.

The question so far unanswered, what form is lead styphnate in after detonation? The oxide, carbide, or what? Secondly, how much of the residue in a fired cartridge is actually lead vs how much of the primer residue was blown out the barrel with the burning powder? Is anyone aware of any...

I beg your pardon. Many rifle bullets have a cannelure and certainly, ammo for tubular magazines, like 30-30 Win are indeed crimped, especially factory ammo. Lee makes factory crimping dies for several rifle rounds.

I have noticed this ammunition is no longer in Federal's catalog. They call one of their Champion brand 'auto-match' in the fine print. From http://www.federalpremium.com/products/rimfire.aspx

I recently bought an older Model 60LS in 38 Spec. I think it is the same gun in stainless. No regrets. It is a very nice piece. If a 38 at self defense distances won't do the job for ya, then maybe more time at the range? (PS. For home defense, I really like a shotgun. Maybe not the...

According to Recent American Rifleman article Paraphrasing... The manufacturers are running flat out with existing equipment. With the uncertainty in Washington, they are not willing to invest in equipment for capacity expansion. The military demand has been relatively constant. Not an...

A friend recently purchased the Rossi. It seems to do everything correctly in double action but you cannot cock it, that is, no single action mode. I don't think this is right but I am not a gunsmith. Were these guns DAO or is something amiss inside?

I would like to know what kind of weapons were used. I, too, heard gyro stabilized and I said I never heard of such a thing. Maybe jest good ole marksmanship with a touch of Kaintuck windage and a lotta luck (in the sense that luck generally goes to the prepared.) Concerning armed vessels...

My understanding is a derringer as a defensive weapon, is only useful for point-blank situations, like your arm around the bad guy's neck and derringer to his temple, (awaiting the police.) I acquired one some years ago. The chambers were rough to the point it is a real pain to extract fired...

A couple of observations. I use a Chrony Beta. 1. Be sure to allow enough distance between muzzle and face of the chronograph. I melted the faceplate from burning powder impact from placing too close to the muzzle of a rifle. (Replacements were inexpensive and readily available from mfg...

Something Vague... I have an original manual. Send me a PM and I can scan and email you a pdf with the appropriate pages from the manual if that would help.

I recommend doing occasional searches of eBay. Amazing what is offered there at times (and does not violate usage rules.) I have found primer tubes and other stuff for it there. I made a primer catcher for my older press out of a cleverly cut piece of plywood and plastic sheeting salvaged...
