    What would make you get rid of a gun that had nothing wrong with it? (Kind of a random ramble)

    I have 77 handguns and am seeking to thin the herd. There are many I won't part with, but I am 74 and feeling it. I don't get to the range as much and I don't want to leave my wife and kids a colossal PIA when I go to that gun club in the sky.

    What happened to 40 caliber?

    Simple for me. I enjoy shooting the 40 more than the 9. It is easier FOR ME to reload as well. I have so many 9's that I almost have to load OAL for each one! And I use the 40 bullets for the 10mm, one of my favorites. I won't speak to ballistics as that isn't my suit. Fun is. And I'll pick up...

    Cataracts and shooting sports

    I had cataract replacement and paid for the "upgraded" lenses. Unfortunately my pupils are larger than normal and this allowed light to get into the eye around the edge of the implants resulting in smearing and ghosting. I believe this is called positive disphotopsia. The surgeon recommended...

    NY Banning AW possession under 21?

    I fear, as do many of us, that the "grandfathered in" clauses will be erased and the next step is confiscation. There are a lot of people in gov't who feel that no one needs to own a firearm. (They are not weapons unless used as such.)

    I hope that the .30 Super catches on

    Am I correct in assuming that dies for the .327 FM will not work? That would be a factor for me, as well as the choice of pistols of course.

    Why do people absolutely hate the Chiappa Rhino?

    I have a 40DS and I had trouble with it. Light strikes. Had to send it back twice. I'll shoot 38spl out of it but not mags. Makes me nervous, it seems like a loose rattletrap to me. I don't hate it, but I am not fond of it either.

    Is 5.7 a threat to 9mm dominance?

    I know it has been already mentioned in this thread but let me add my $.02... You need an electron microscope and a great deal of imagination to reload 5.7. And TIME. I've never seen another caliber (no I haven't seen them all) that requires so much detail. You must set back the shoulder...

    .44 Magnum first shots - I'm hooked

    This is an S&W Nightguard. It's pretty brutal with full house 44mag loads! Fortunately I reload. Not my photo, but I do have one.

    I have just one, the .327 Fed Mag...can't find a good photo now.

    Kimber K6s .357

    I got a K6S 3" DAO a few years ago. I haven't put a LOT of rounds thru it, but I like it a lot, and the trigger is great.

    The One(s) You DON'T Regret Trading or Selling

    I had a Taurus 22lr, an M94 I think. The cylinder fell out. The trigger pull was ridiculous. I got rid of it with no regrets.

    "I regret selling that one..."

    When I was 22 I bought a 4" S&W 28-2 in 1972. I sold it. Many years later I got a 28-2 from 1976 so I redeemed myself somewhat. Other than that I sold an S&W 351PD .22mag but replaced it with an S&W 632 in 327 so I have something similar. Guess I don't have any Big Regrets. I ALMOST sold my...

    I finally had a bad day on the range...

    OK but I didn't mention the 460 and 500 mags. Those are allowed indoors only on the 50 yard rifle bays at my local indoor facility. They can be particularly brutal, but my reloads are relatively mild.

    I finally had a bad day on the range...

    Sometimes I feel bad shooting my DE50 indoors as I know it bothers some folks. But some get annoyed by my Coonan and 44 mags so I usually keep the session short with those calibers. I belong to an outdoor range but with the weather and health issues I have not been out there recently.

    OH NO! Am I becoming a collector??

    Guilty as charged. I have an engraved (new) S&W 44mag that I have never fired. Also a lightly used 29-2 and 14-3.....I DO readily admit that I often demonstrate having more $ than brains. I am also retired and live on the cheap other than the hobbies.

    I already spent my yearly firearm budget, but isn't that what credit cards are for?

    I do not understand the meaning of this word, "budget."

    .25 acp pistol question

    OP, you seriously gain my ultimate respect for taking on reloading of the .25acp. I know I couldn't do it. I have enough trouble with .380. I couldn't work with such small caliber!

    What is the last gun that you bought?

    Is it safe to shoot 40 S&W out of a 10mm ? Is there danger of breaking the extractor? I have a G20, 29, and 40 but never used anything but 10mm in them.
