I a, new to reloading. I a Lee Classic Turret Press and will be loading 9mm, 45 ACP and .38 Spl. I am looking to load mainly light to mid rounds for the range. From my research Win 231/HP-38 is a good powder for this application. There is no powder anywhere in my local area. I missed the Win...

Looking at getting a case tumbler. I am looking at the Frankford Arsenal vs the Cabela's 400 which is made by Berrys. The Frankford is cheaper $35 at Midway vs the Cabela's which is $54. From everything I have read the Frankford seems to be hit or miss in terms of QC. Some report them dying...

http://wamu.org/news/15/01/27/dc_grants_first_concealed_carry_permits_in_decades The Metropolitan Police Department has granted its first concealed carry permits, effectively ending the longstanding ban on carrying handguns in public that was deemed unconstitutional by a federal judge last...

Looking at this 15-3. It has some finish wear but it is tight. Lock up is good and everything else checks out. It has a 4" barrel and is pinned. Most of the wear is one the right side but there is some pitting on the left. Grips are correct but not marked. Anyone know what S&W charges to...

So I finished up building a new portable stand for my IDPA-IPSC style silhouette AR500 steel target today. I made it out of scrape wood I had leftover from other projects. The center post is removable and the target is attached with a carriage bolt and a wing nut so it does not require any tools...

I came across one today. I keep running into interesting S&Ws. I am not a wheel gun guy at heart but I am starting to like S&Ws. IIRC the gun is pinned which if my research is correct puts it somewhere around 1979. I can get the serial number tomorrow to really nail down DOB. I am not a...

I am going to be starting to reload soon on a Lee Turret press with an Auto Disk Pro powder measurer. Powder is getting better but it is still hard to come by. I am looking for peoples recommendation on powders. I am going to ask the powder question 2 different ways. Please list your favorite...

So I think I am about to finally pull the trigger on a Lee Classic Turret press to reload mainly handgun ammo. I will be loading 38 SPL, 357 Mag, 9MM & 45 ACP. I plan on getting a turret for each caliber so I can change out the caliber quickly and easily. My goal is to be able to load 200-300...

I found this gun locally. It is a 19-3 2.5" in the classic S&W high polish blue. Looks to be in excellent condition I would estimate 95%+. Looks like a target setup to my eyes. Comes with factory box and is 100% stock. What is it worth in todays market. I is my understanding that the 2.5" are...

I have been working on deal to pick up a few MKIIs. What started out as a buy for 1 has become 5! :o 4 of the guns are LNIB MKIIIs with fixed sights, matte finish and 10 round mouse trap mags which I was able to get at a more than fair price. The MKIIIs guns are 1995/1996 guns 3 of which are...

Numrich Importing, LLC has some BHPs up on GB for $289 + $25 shipping! If you look at the details they are surplus guns and will more than likely be rougher than the pic but if you are looking for a super cheap might be worth the risk. I was thinking about getting one as a project tinkering gun...

Looking to replace the Phillips screws on this P01 and my 75B with hex screws. Anyone know the size and thread pitch? Looks like they are M3.5 can anyone confirm. Has anyone replaced them with M3.5 from a hardward store vs CZ customs screws? CZ customs sells them but $10 for a set of screws is...

So I am looking to get this baby refinished. I am looking to do it in an all black finish. I am looking for suggestions. I was thinking Black T from Birdsong but am looking for other suggestions with one caveat. I will not send the gun to CCR. I do not want to get into why in this thread...

Looks like CZ is getting to the Mil Spec 1911 business. Forged frame and slide with a 5 lb trigger. It has a reasonable rollmark, some might consider it too big, and with a black oxide finish. Nice well thought out upgrades like checkered walnut grips, serrated slide stop, magazine catch and...

What are these things going for these days? I have a line on one in excellent to like new condition. Not my favorite design but I know they hare highly sought after. Thoughts?

I have been relatively inactive in the buying scene over the last year or so. Around 2012 I really slowed down my purchasing. Too much panic buying and pricing. Too many new designs which fell flat. Used prices as high as NIB. Fast forward to 11/2014 and everywhere I look are great deals. S&W...

I was in a local pawn today and came across a S&W 13-3 with a 3" barrel. Gun locked up tight and looks to be about 95%+ with just a slight turn ring on the cylinder. Serial # ADL3XXX and the gun is not pinned and recessed no box no accessories just the gun. When it rains it pours. :eek: What is...

Looking at putting up a steel target in my backyard for shooting. I am looking at a 2/3 IPDA/IPSC target. I am looking at 3/8 AR500 steel so I can shoot pistol now and maybe some .223 down the road but it will mainly be a pistol target. I am going to hang it with a center lag bolt with a...
