    Colt Python look a likes..........

    The Colt Python is so often picked as the pic of the litter as one best looking revolvers. So, how come, Colt or someone else does not start making one that looks that good. How come other than Taurus, and Dan Wesson (few offerings) do we not see ribbed guns with classic looks. You know...

    What's the marque revolver to make the heads turn at the range..........

    I want the head-turner. That revolver that is the ultimate in quality, looks and accuracy. The revolver that you are dang proud to own. The revolver that you shoot also, not just look at. Not to carry, not even to compete, just to shoot, but one that others wish they owned. Is it the Colt...

    Best of reloading educational manuals?

    I've loaded shotgun shells for many years, but have loaded handgun ammo for only about a year. I have the ABC's of Reloading, but would like to step up to something more "substantial". Not so much for the loads, but for the art of reloading. Suggestions?.........................ck

    Best and cheapest source for bullets.

    I usually load lead however my Ruger Blackhawk in 9mm says not to shot lead as they will get sliced due to expansion and therefore to shot metal plated. Around here, buying fmj would cost me as much to buy ammo at wal-mart. So, anybody got good prices somewhere?......................ck

    Counting rounds shot.

    I frequently see statements about how many rounds have been shot through any particular gun, rifle or pistol. Just how important is it to keep track of this information? Is there a xxx round check-up, or is just for one's personal information. Although I'm not much of a rifle shooter, I do...

    What a reasonable turn-around time for gun repair?

    Ok, question about response time to repair a handgun. I bought a NIB Taurus Tracker 455 (but discontinued) on GunAmerica from a dealer. The first time on the range it failed to fully cock on many of the cylinders. So I called Taurus and shipped it back to them. Today, a week and a day after...

    Weighing rounds?

    Does anyone weight brass & bullet before loading to insure equal weights and then weight the finished round when done looking for double charges? I just weighed 300 rounds on a digital scale and it only took a few minutes......at least it gives me additional piece of mind. Anybody else this...

    Centerfire for long distance target shooting.

    I interested in getting a revolver for shooting out to 100 yards that I can easily scope. Is there any one caliber & gun that is best for accuracy out that far. I'm guessing something in the 6" plus barrel length, perhaps out to 8 or so, but no longer.

    I took my wife shooting today for her first time.

    After many invitations, she finally accepted to go try it.:cool: I asked her before hand if she would going to shoot the 45, sure she said, I'll try it once. My son, whose 21, said, no way Mom, that thing will knock you down.:mad: Dad, there's no way she should shoot that "thing". So we...

    Not counting shotguns, what calibers, types of guns need to be in the gun cabinet to shoot the various disciplines but yet keep the count low as possible but not "cheat" one's self out of the pleasure of gun ownership. Currently I own two rimfire rifles, 10/22 & a Marlin 39a, and don't really...
