    Mod 37 picky

    Thanks in advance. Bought early 60's S&W airweight. trying different ammo. Trying to stay non +P. I have found that only certain rounds will fully seat in the cylinder. My hand loads and S&B 158 do not seat and cylinder will not swing closed. Very odd. Both drop right in the Taurus 85. What...

    Taurus failure

    Hello all, I bought a Taurus 85 ultra weight a couple of months ago as a primary carry gun. At about the same time I started reloading. NOTHING heavy at all. During last month twice the revolver froze up at the range. I thought the problem was my reloads. I tapped the currently "up" round with...

    another newbee on the block

    I had bought 500 rounds of 38spl reloaded from Georga Arms partially to give new a large batch of brass to start reloading. It was quite a mix of brass. Questions are (first in what I assume will be a long line): How much does it matter in handgun brass to keep in batches. I seperated into 5...

    Ruger LCP

    Broke down and bought a pocket gun. Took to the range the other day for first trail. No FTF or jams. Very accurate for tiny little thing. I have had it in my pocket all day for 5 days, you forget its there. Only problem I had at range was magazine dropping. Not out, but down and not picking up...

    Hi Power failure to feed

    Just finished a personal protection course. I fired 400-500 rounds in 3 days. Both of my Hi Powers had feed problems I changed around the belgium and Argentine. I switched out the 17-18lb springs. Could the buffers be limiting the slide travel (question mark) I had set up both w/the 18lb spring...

    Hi Power ID Help

    Hello Folks, I hope the collective wisdom of the group can help me identify my new Hi Power. When I bought this gun I was told it was made in Belgium for the Argentine military contract. I have a FM 90 which I am fond of. This gun does not have a Crest on the slide or any Argentine markings...

    Hi Power Buffer

    Just tried to put a buffer (buffer Tech) in my Argentine FM Hi Power. I could not lock the side back during reassembly. Am I doing someting wrong? Do I just force it back? I seem to be about 1/16 to far forward to get the safety up into slide notch. Any thoughts? Thanks, Tim

    FM Hi-Power

    OK, bought the J&G Argentine Hi-Power. Bought the higher grade and it appears new. Very nice. I have fed it 3 kinds of ball and 3 HP with never a hicup or burp. I have wanted a Hi-Power for 30 years. Not Belgium but for $360 w/2 mags I will adjust. Easiest breakdown ever. Any body else have one...

    S&w 19-5

    I just won a 19-5 0n line. Looks OK in pictures. A little blue wear and surface rust. Doing research most raves seem to be for older 19's. Am I disapointed? Price $350 plus shipping. Wanted one for a long time and price was right. I saw one reference to barrel not being pinned. I know cylinder...

    Ruger security six front sight

    I am trying to replace the front sight on my 6" barrel Security 6. Can anyone tell me if 155-72852 is old or new series? I have looked before and appears to be old with only new series sight available. Is the cross pin the same for both seriers? I finally got the old sight out. Some PO had...

    How Far

    I have a hill on my hunting land that would make a great place to teach the grandkids to shoot clay targets. Can anyone guess how far shot might travel before falling to earth? What would be safe? There are woods I do not own apx 200 yards from the hill. Any thoughts? Thanks, Tim

    1911

    Thanks in advance, I have what I have always though was a Sistema Colt 1927. I was just browsing some research material and now I don't know. The material says that all Sistemas have D.G.F.M. - (F.M.A.P.) on the left side of the slide. My pistol has only # 59826, matched on slide,barrel and...
