I carry a Kimber .45 compact stainless auto IWB in one of several holsters. My problem is that I have not found a magazine case that is suitable. I do not want a case on my belt nor an IWB mag case. What I want is a case that can be clipped in my pocket like my Spyderco knife. I want it to...

Anyone with experience with these cylinder pins? I'm considering the purchase of one for my Ruger Bisley .45 Colt. I am particularly interested in improving the accuracy of this revolver. What say you-all? Roger

A few days ago, I made a regular bullet order from Missouri Bullet co. A box of 170- 40 cal, some sample .45s & .38 bullets and a new one from them, a box of 255 gr. hard cast "Elmer Keith" .452" SWCs for my .45 Colt Ruger Bisley. Well the order arrived today and they had sent their "Elmer...

I finally made it to my local public range today. It had been a while. Range was crowded, range officers were working hard to maintain safety and order. Most of them are friends and were pleased to see someone that they didn't have to worry about. (the stories I could tell about what I see...

A thought had been swirling around my little mind for a day or two. Every Christmas season I put a 3 foot tall nutcracker out in front of my home along with the other decorations. This year, I updated the Nutcracker with cobbled together Eeeeevilll Black Rifle. We'll see if the neighbors have...

I have a Ruger Bisley, .45 Colt with 6" barrel. The revolver shoots as nice as can be. My problem is that I cannot clearly see the sights. The notch at the back is small and the front sight is narrow. Not a good combination for 65 year old eyes. I've tried the white paint route & it does...

Heck if the newspapers can do it, so can I. Took the Hi-Power .40 to the local indoor range this afternoon. I'd just installed new Wolff recoil spring, firing pin spring and magazine springs. Told the wife that I had to "make certain that it was reliable with the new springs" Hah! And she...

I stopped at a local large gun store on Thursday, looking for primers. Lo and behold they had all different kinds. Federal match, Fed standard, large pistol, large rifle, small pistol, small rifle, magnum, Winchester, CCI, etc. Only problem was the price. They were asking $62.99 for a pkg of...

I use Buffalo Bore 158 gr. +P LSWCC Hollow point ammo in my carry J frame Smith & Wesson revolvers. 5 in the cylinder, 5 in a speed strip in my back pocket. Three weeks ago, the wife brought to me a speed strip with 5 Buffalo Bore .38 spl rounds in it that she had found in the clothes drier...

Cast it in front of one of your friends. A friend of mine, a glock person, ( I forgave him) was asking me about my 1911s. He was looking for a concealable .45 auto. Obviously, my suggestion was for a compact 1911 such as my Kimber Compact Stainless II. (Officers frame, 4" Commander barrel) He...

Yes that's bliss. I've been working on my BHP .40 (MkIII) for three years. Not all at once, but in fits and starts. Try this, try that, all with the idea of "do no harm". That is don't mess it up or make it an expensive piece of scrap metal. First tried to improve the stock trigger pull...

I have several pounds of Universal. I want to reload a pile of .40 S&W brass with a pile of 170 gr cast SWC bullets using the Universal powder for midrange loads. Problem is that I cannot find reload data for CAST bullets using Universal in all of my manuals or on Hodgdons online data base. I...

By gosh I really like rifle shooting folks that don't reload! Went to my local municipal range today & spent 4 hours of success, sighting in and utter failure. The good easily overshadowed the failure. Tried a new prone position, using a small rest and then my fist under the butt of my...

I'm looking for information on how to "set" the sear spring on a MkIII BHP. I'm slowly working my way through my .40 BHP with Cylinder & Slide hammer, sear, spring kit & wide trigger. Last on the list is the sear spring. Trigger pull now is 4.75 lbs, & looking for 4#. Any suggestions? Roger

I just traded a couple of little used .22 pistols for a Savage - Anschutz single shot target rifle. The rifle was mechanically sound with little wear and no problems with the metal end of the rifle. The stock however was UUUUUUUGGGGGggly. It had been finished in a reddish material that...

I have 900 SP mag primers for use in loading .357 magnum pistol ammo. Since I rarely shoot or reload for the .357 mag, I was wondering how much of a difference is there between mag primers and std primers. Essentially I cannot find any std (or magnum) primers and want to use the mag primers to...

.45 Colt type fun. I recently aquired a Ruger Bisley revolver in .45 Colt. It wouldn't shoot very well at all. Made patterns not groups. So I did some research and asked a question here on this forum. Was given the advice to measure the front of the cylinder bore to make certain that it...

What a Hoot! I recently traded for a Ruger Bisley in .45 Colt. I'd always wanted a .45 Colt revolver, this one was a good trade for another revolver that I didn't use much. First thing I found out was that none of the local shops carry .45 Colt ammo. So, its to Midway for some brass, dies...

No! I'm not gonna sell it! I went looking in my safe for some hardware that I could turn into cash. This economy and my losses in what used to be my retirement money has me running a bit thin financially. Pulled out my M 14 Smith, 6" barrel, target hammer, sights & standard trigger, just the...
