    dumb ? - can I vaquero-ize a blackhawk?

    Maybe this is a dumb question but here goes: Can I take a stock Ruger Blackhawk ( 45 colt ) and a file and round-over the topstrap and maybe the base of the front site? My goal is to smooth over the right angle edges to make it look more like a Vaquero. Assuming that I dont go too crazy with...

    Toolbox gun....HiPoint?

    I need a handgun that I can place in a toolbox that I cannot worry about. It will be in a holster, banged around a lot, will not bother me if it goes missing, and inexpensive. My current thoughts are that a HiPoint will fill this role. My question is: Will a HiPoint go "bang" when needed? I...

    Including revolvers and autos, what is the best Taurus handgun ever produced? It doesnt matter what the caliber is, is there a Taurus handgun that, as a general rule, is a good handgun value? I know that there are exceptions to the rule for every model but I am looking for the generally...

    adding wadding to 45LC

    I tried 8.0grns Unique pushing a 230LRN in my 45LC. Out of 50 rounds I encountered about 5-6 rounds that were definitely "softer" then the majority. My guess is that I have too much empty space in the case. I am confident that my powder measurements were accurate so I am thinking that I may...

    Alaskan 454 living on 45LCs

    I am considering a Ruger Alaskan 454 2.5". I have no desire to punish myself with shooting 454 Casulls with this revolver. I really want a nice solid smallish double action 45LC revolver. According to the Ruger specs the Alaskan is a smaller revolver than their 4" 45LC DA revolver. I am...

    BassPro Win LP primers $, a forewarnng?

    I went to a just-opened BassPro ( Indepenence, Mo ) and saw that the Winchester Large Pistol primers are going for $39.00 per 1000. Yikes! That is at least a $10 price jump. Is this a new stock replacement cost for these primers? Should I run over to my other sources and buy them all out...
