I've had one of the S&W made ones for awhile, I almost forgot I had it. lol I haven't fired it much one box of FMJ and two mags of 102 grain Golden Sabers only, no malfunctions. I've owned an Interarms .380 PPKs and a 1930s 7.65 PPK eagle N, so I have something to compare it to and the S&W...

I'll go along with that, you have not posted any bad info that I have seen and I'm quite familiar with Craig Boddington and his vast experience with rifles. The next time someone asks me which big game cartridge is good for shooting through bushes, tree branches, etc I'll tell them 'none of them...

I've seen couple of threads lately about what is best all around cartridge or what bullet makes the better wound channel on deer, well for my money it is the .375 H&H Magnum. If you can shoot it well and take the recoil, lesser rounds don't even come close. Ha you say, you don't need a .375 H&H...

Lately I've been thinking of building a new rifle, or having my gunsmith do all the heavy lifting I should say.:) Anyway the recent thread on barrel cooling got me to thinking about barrel makers. In the past I have had good luck with Douglas and Shilen barrels. Recent internet research has...

Its alot of fun collecting S&Ws, we need HammerIt to come along and show off some of his. I have a modest collection, about 20, the newest one was made in 1980, but the ones I try to find are pristine ones from the 1950s. K22 Masterpiece made in 1952 This is my best one,I think, S&W 6.5...

In the past I loaded my defense shotgun with #2 bird shot, I did it for years, because I thought they would be adequate. I just figured no one could stand up to one of those, all I was doing though was guessing and not taking into consideration the fact that if I ever did have to shoot...

See I took your image, cropped, straightened and enhanced it, uploaded it as an attachment, then did the procedure I described and....

I want a really compact scope to go on my Mini 30, but there are several different and I really don't want to take a chance on the lesser priced ones. I'm not immune to trying a Red Dot, Holosight, etc. So please show and/or tell me what you have done optics wise on your 14/30 and give me some...

A friend wanted an S&W Model 36 I had, so I traded him it and a custom built knife for his Mini 30, which included scope rings, a 5 round magazine, a 30 round magazine and 200 rounds of 125 grain SP ammo. I stopped by the range on the way home yesterday and shot a 4 inch 50 yard group, off hand...

I'm not trying to cause trouble, I'm really not, I just want to know. What is the deal with the cartridge versus cartridge threads? .45 ACP vs 9 mm, .45 Colt versus .44 Magnum, etc, etc and on and on ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Do some people really not know the differences between two...

I traded for this pistol early last year, I'm very happy to report zero malfunctions, good accuracy and no mechanical problems. I ran a couple of hundred assorted 230 grain FMJ and fifty 200 grain SWC through it today. For a pistol in the 1000 to 1150 dollar range it is very nice and in my...

My GT is cooler though, it's got a hood scoop and flush mount louvers. I've got GTA mufflers, MGW shifter, Bama Chips race tune, it does mid to low 13s in the quarter and tops out in the low 160s. Wait this isn't a Mustang forum.:p Anyway thats my wallpaper.:)

I've been studying the effectiveness of personal defense handguns for a long, long time. I'm pretty much convinced that in the right hands a .45 ACP 1911 is hard to beat. However since I've been writing on this forum and reading the thoughts of others here and elsewhere on the net. I've come to...

I have always been a fan of Elmer Keith, the man who's experiments led to such revolver cartridges as the .357 Magnum, .41 Magnum and of course the .44 Magnum. He preferred carved ivory magnas for stocking his S&W Magnums. In fact the first .44 that S&W sent him he had the 6.5 inch barrel cut...

Gallup Daily: Obama Moves Ahead, 48% to 42% I've never seen a candidate get less than a 10 to 15 point bounce coming out of their convention. Of course its not over yet and he will likely get to a 10 point lead or will he? Since McCain's recent wise and prudent choice of Sarah Palin as his...

Its a 7 shooter and fires the .22 Short. It will fully penetrate a 1/2 inch pine board from six feet away. I don't know much about them. It says patented 1871, but I have know idea when it was actually manufactured.

I ordered these in October of last year and just got them in today. It was well worth the wait, Keith does excellent work. I did not want to shoot my shipped in July 1956, first year of production S&W .44 Magnum, with its excellent condition 'coke' grips on and when I saw Keith Brown's...

In my youth my father would shoot 3 to 5 shot groups with his hunting rifles as a measure of accuracy and to check them for zero. That seemed to be the common wisdom of the day a 3 shot minimum as an acceptable test. He had some amazingly accurate rifles some of which would shoot 1/2 inch 100...

Border patrol agent held at gunpoint Officers fear Mexican military encounters will turn violent A U.S. Border Patrol agent was held at gunpoint Sunday night by members of the Mexican military who had crossed the border into Arizona, but the soldiers returned to Mexico without incident when...

I see several places selling these, anyone have any experience buying one? Were they in good shape? Does anyone know where to get a reproduction of the scope mounts like or similar to the several different ones the Germans used? I thought it would be neat to get one of these and put a scope on...
