I have the Midway version, and pack three pistols for two shooters in it. I could stuff in a little more ammo, but it's already almost too heavy to carry. I shot a poorly made video of the Midway bag here: http://outdoors.webshots.com/video/3009560990062237293MPNaXz

My Izaak Walton League and a local gun shop hosted a Smith & Wesson gun demo last Fall. My daughter and I had an opportunity to fire the S&W500. Wow, that was a handful. Here's a video of my daughter getting her one shot. Hmm, trying to embed the video didn't work very well. Here's the...

I bought a 3" SP101 last year and have fired close to 1,000 rounds thru it, primarily 38's. I think it shoots both well. (off the shelf ammo from Walmart, typically). My buddies who has a few Smith's thought it shoots real well. I did take it apart and polish some of the internals. I find it...

I have two magazines, one from 1980 and a recent purchase. The mouth on the new one is indeed cut deeper. I modified the rear lips on both and each seems to function similarly. My stove pipes are now down to 2-3 in 100 shots fired. The new magazine also also doesn't seat in all the way and I...

My first time at a crowd range was also intimidating. Folks are paying attention to you, so my advice is to read their rules and follow them to the letter. If you are not sure, ask the range officer (if one is present). They appreciate what might appear to you, a stupid question, versus...

Warning? What warning?

Man, I'm loving those Badger grips (pogo2). Definitely getting a pair for my SP101 in ivory corian. Can anyone vouch for how they shoot in a small .357? http://www.badgercustomgrips.com/ruger_pistol_grips.php?pid=84

My SP101

My first shotgun was a Model 37. I traded it to a buddy for a .22 rifle..... He still has it. Nice save!

2Arco: What kind of ivory grips are on your pistol (Spegel?). They are beautiful! If Spegal or other, do they make grips for a Ruger SP101?

That makes sense. So, they weren't ballast, just cargo dropping out, interesting. My parents still live there, but I no longer see those purple balls. They must be transporting by other means or have tighter load doors! I can tell most of you guys aren't in the iron and steel business...

Wow, that video with Rufus is amazing. With a milk jug full of rocks no less, no fancy aero-ammo needed! We probably won't see the likes of Rufus again.

I have my original, purchased in the 70's. I used it to shoot many things, most unlawful. Trains, wire insulators, junk yard car windows...hopefully the statuette of limitations has run out.... It's still in my parents basement, I guess the bands would be shot. Might have to dig that back...

There is bascially one silicone lubricant used by pool company's - Jacks 327 which is made by Hayward (they make pool pumps, etc.). This is just a rebranded version of Dow Corning #111 Silicon Lubricant. It's for o-rings and plastic parts. I'm not sure a metal gun slide is the best...

Well, fired about 150 rounds this afternoon and learned a few things. 1st - the new magazine doesn't go in correctly with one push like the old one. When it is first inserted and the latch feels like it closes, you can see a little daylight at the rear edge of the mag. This does not happen...

"My advice to my children was "never give permission, even if you have nothing to hide. Never argue, "you want to search my backpack, here it is I won't stop you but you do not have my permission." And we will deal with it later." I'm no lawyer but can think of a scenario where this could...

Nice find. Wow, that is quite a barrel! My dad has a .22 Single-Six with the short barrel, bought it in '84 and it has never been out of the box. I get it one day and it will be used!

I continued to have problems with that new magazine. I found and completed this modification to the magazine. I'm hoping to have a chance to shoot it again on Wednesday evening. http://xavierthoughts.blogspot.com/2008/10/mkii-magazine-tweak.html

Thanks guys. I will try a different brand of ammo. I did complete the modification to the new magazine, we'll see what happens. (thanks for confirmation Dave_D55) P02Hammer - I just reshaped the extractor with a file, took off the rounded edge. This work is detailed in a MkII smithwork...

I'm having some trouble with a newly purchased Ruger magazine for my MKII. I had about 10% FTE yesterday. Using my OEM (25 year old) magazine, only in about 1 in 20. We were using Remington Gold Bullets from Wally-world. After cleaning, I reshaped the extractor, which is supposed to resolve...
