I came across these recently, Googled them for information, and came across some threads here. Thanks for the info Dave! I tried them, and I like them; lottsa fun! I got lucky. The old Ruger Speed Six I am shooting them from shoots very close to point of aim (just a tad high), and I get <2...

Numrich had them yesterday when I called to check.

Pressure isn't an issue. Ruger chambered these cylinders in 9x19 too, sold plenty in Europe. The SAAMI specs for 9x19 and 357 are equal, the SAAMI +P, CIP and NATO specs for 9x19 can exceed 357 Mag pressures by 10 - 20%. Moonclip conversion!? Convert to 9x23!? Wish I'ld never seen THAT! ;)

I would be surprised if they never made any money off the Security/Service/Speed Sixes. They got more popular as time went by, and they were replacing Smiths in more than a few places. INS/BP were using the Security Six in 357. A friend w the BP was issued a Security Six in 1992. The Military...

I like _this_ gun, and I've already got a Service Six in 357 Mag. Around here the cheapest these go for when they pop up are about $350 for anything that's in any kind of shape worth having. Online, I'm seeing $350-420 for the 38/357, and $700 for the 9x19. Money is not an issue anyway...

I've since found out it is as easy as I was told. About $110 to drop in a "new" 357 cylinder, about $45 to convert the 38 cylinder. Some revolvers may have different sizes, materials, metallurgy differences, but not the Rugers.

Do you know that, or assume that? Makes sense, also makes sense from a manufacturing point of view to make both as identical as possible, parts and processes. I will know for sure from some reliable sources soon, until then I will give youse guys sumthin' to chew on...

Reason I ask is, I was told the Ruger Speed Six .38 and .357 pistols/cylinders are identical. When Ruger made them, all they did was chamber the cylinders and mark them differently. I've got a Service Six in 357, and it sure looks like that's the only diffference (other than the...

Is it possible? How easily done? Just drop a .357 cylinder into the same frame? Just rechamber the .38 cylinder to .357?

What was the the best combat handgun in use in the past? Sgt York (USA) killed 7 Germans w his 1911 .45 auto, Lt Van Vuuren (RSA) killed 11 Cubans w his Star 9mm auto, and Jim Cirillo (NYPD) did fine w his S&W revolvers. All those handguns are still in use today. Anybody done any better w...

I know folks who work/worked for Glock, Beretta, and HK. Some of them have worked for more than one of them. Funny to compare what they said about A when they worked for B now that they work for A... :D The Buy America Act has loopholes big enough to fly Airbuses through. :) About 70% of...

A good long rifle? No, but it's a very good pistol caliber carbine. Picks up more velocity w some loads than others depending on the powder type used. Win 115 USA FMJ, 124 +P Speer GD and Rem GS around 1300 fps. Rem 147 GS over 1100 fps. Getting quick, accurate hits is waaaaay...

Do the math... The manual says it's OK w SAAMI and CIP ammo. The SAAMI +P and CIP max pressure limit are virtually identical, around 38,500 psi. If CIP ammo is OK, then SAAMI +P is OK too. Take a CX4 down and look at it. Practically the whole frame is a recoil buffer, and the bolt rides on...

SIG 226/229 in .40 w rails and DAK. Foot's already in the door with USCG and NCIS. If it must be adjustable gripped and/or modular, the P250DC.

So far govt guns on planes have been used to shoot an unarmed mentally disturbed man who wasn't even on the plane when he was shot by FAMs, and one cockpit shot by a FFDO handling his gun when he should not have been. "They" told us so? Of course, the first time a govt gun saves a plane...

While the TSA procedures and/or holster are significant contributing factors to this ND incident, pilot error is still numero uno. If he had checked to be sure the pistol was firmly in the holster before locking it, no problem. If it's not part of the procedure, his own common sense should...

And some old guns too. FTFs!? FTE!? Sounds like some 1911s, and they have been around for 97 years. Sure sounds like some of the M1911A1s I was issued from 1984 - 1988. And some of the M9s from 1988 - 1998, and some of the M11s from 97/98...

Is it true the Warrior is KimPro over steel, the SIS is KimPro over stainless steel? Have had good luck w Kimber Warriors. Have had even better luck w my two SA Mil-Specs. They are better than any M1911A1s Uncle Sam issued to me, my father, or my uncles, and those did the job. Ya never know? ;)

The local school board recently voted to arm it's school officers full time (they were NOT armed during class hours, only before/after; no kidding). Some schools already had armed city officers posted at them during class hours. Prevention, deterence, and response are all needed...

How many school shootings w how many dead in the UK since Dunblane? How many in the US since then? Gun control works, except when it doesn't? More guns in more hands means more people abusing them, except when it doesn't? I prefer improving the software to banning the hardware for a fix.
