http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=452801 I don't know the seller, but we do allow ads in the H&R area. His post is over in the classifieds. It's a great deal on what I believe is the best of all the powder measures.

I saw in a discussion elsewhere about the idea of buying a different barrel for a semi-auto in the event that someone got shot... swap the barrel out and now the shooter is "good to go" with no ballistic match on the bullet fished out of the victim. If you get all your info from TV and movies...

I think this stuff is brand new to the market... the "MP" stands for "Magnum Pistol" and Alliant's online data source shows data for it in 22 Hornet, .357 Magnum, .44 Rem Magnum, .454 Casull, .460 S&W Mag, .480 Ruger, and .500 S&W Mag. Judging by the charge weight and the "appropriate" caliber...

...Didja ever notice that most (not all) of it seems to be nickel plated? Now sure, some of the premium defense ammo in handgun rounds come in nickel brass in every handgun caliber out there... But the bulk of brass in just about every common handgun caliber is non-nickel brass. Pick 1000...

While looking through some of the old gun rags I have (I've got a lot of them), I came across an article for three different Taurus snub revolvers. The magazine was circa 1999, IIRC, and the three revolvers were chambered for .44 Special, .45 Colt and .41 Magnum. They were also ported. I'll...

I think we can all agree that Wolff is the premier company out there for gun springs and that they are a respected outfit that delivers quality products. This isn't a fly-by-night super cheap snake oil sales company. We can all agree on that, right? :p Anyhow, I'm looking around there today...

My first handgun... Mom got it for me new for Christmas... '88. It's a 17-6, 6-inch, blued, obviously, with target hammer, target trigger and adjustable sights. I've put many thousand rounds down range over the last 20+ years... I don't get it out that often anymore simply because it's more...

Loading for a Desert Eagle in .44 Mag... I've done all the searching and I know that I need to steer well clear of any unjacketed lead bullets and even stay away from anything that might have a lead base. I also know full well that these need to be full-powered loads because the DE doesn't do...

I just snagged a four pound jug of this stuff because the price was right and I love adding a new powder to my cache. Who is using Universal? Where do you like it most? What do you like about it? Is there something you don't like about it? I had originally thought I could use a new powder...

So I'm hoping to be in the market soon for another handgun. What I would really like is a very accurate 9mm chambered pistol. It seems that there aren't a lot to choose from, so I'm brainstorming here. I'm not talking about the garden variety 9mm combat or tupperware do-all metal plate...

This is not the end of the world... I'm not even requesting a "fix", but I would sure like to hear a lucid explanation that makes sense. I'm not scholar and I didn't do well in physics, but I like to think of myself as having the ability to understand something if it's explained to me...

We've discussed pressure signs before... I'm looking for a couple of opinions about this scenario: I've been using a .357 Magnum load that runs a Berry's Plated flat point (158gr) with Alliant 2400 powder, 13.7 grains. By anyone's published numbers, this is safely and nicely under max. Though...

I have a pretty good pile of old gun magazines that I've been reading through. The issue I hit last night was a 1980 copy of Shooting Times and they gave a "first look" at the Colt SSP, the "stainless steel pistol" that Colt built for U.S. Govt pistol trials. It was a double stack, double...

Dang it! At the gun show today, saw the sweetest 6-inch Model 16. Full underlug, so it was the re-make of the revolver... late 80s, early 90s? I didn't get to see the dash-number. Revolver looked NEW. Price was too much for me. $849. :mad: I want to find one of these and Hammer It-ize...

So the long-standing word is that .357 Magnum 125 grain JHP's eat up K-frame Smith & Wesson revolvers. This is not a new development, this is pretty much accepted information, yes? And that S&W developed the L-frame revolvers in part for competition/PPC shooting but also to address the problem...

Maybe this is better posted in the recent confessional thread about bench screwups... but then again, it's a simple thing here but I'd like to warn others. You know how when you size a bunch of brass you collect a heap of primers in the drop tube? And when it gets like 3/4 full, you empty that...

There's a bunch of things you can do to a 1911. I hate front serrations and think they are an abomination. But a tactical rail looks even worse. But you know what? I've got a new "makes me wanna puke" option: These horrific flat triggers. I've never shot one -- never even dry fired one...

A Colt Peacekeeper double action revolver? Was I asleep under a rock or what? A guy on my local forum is selling one. I've got to say, I don't know what Colt had in mind with that finish. I just can't believe that I've never heard of one. Anyone else never heard of one? (here's where guys...

This is a small (buy KEY) piece... I thought maybe it would be a good part to simply replace on my circa-94 PT-99AF. But the few places I've seen them, they want $50 for them? Does that sound right? Important piece, but also one that has a lousy reputation. Seems like $50 is more than I...

We have many threads where folks reminisce about their first handguns or revolvers... we have lots of threads where folks talk about their most recent purchase or their next. We have LOTS of threads about LOTS of guns and it blows me away how often the S&W 686 revolver shows up. The first...
