    Is installing an oversize hand on a S&W K-frame this easy?

    I think my M65 needs one. Video from Midway: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6g8kMFpI9M

    3" S&W M13 GONE in less than 30 minutes

    The other day on Armslist near the top of the first page was a S&W Model 13 with a 3" barrel For Sale/For Trade. He didn't call it a M13, but something like a S&W 357 Magnum. How much? Best reasonable offer or trade for a particular Glock or something else. I saved the pics, and emailed the...

    .45ACP 230 LRN & Power Pistol

    I have a bunch of Power Pistol and I reload with lead bullets. Not the ideal combination, but that's how it is. Found something that said 6.5gr of PP and a 230gr LRN is around 850 fps and close to the hardball load, so I want to make 100 and try them out. Has anyone loaded something close to...

    LCR 9mm = good news

    First range trip with the LCR 9mm, and I'm happy, very happy. I shot a box of Rem/UMC 115gr FMJ followed by a box of American Eagle 124gr FMJ. I also shot a box of reloads through another 38 revolver, so 150 rounds total. Not a lot, but there was no chewing of the trigger finger by the...

    LCR's (38, 357, 9mm) and lead

    Do any of you shoot lead bullets with your LCR in 38, 357, and/or 9mm? If so, does the barrel get excessive leading? I found this interesting, not only will a .356" lead 380 bullet pass through the cylinder throats on a LCR 9mm, but a .358" lead 38 bullet will also easily pass through...

    LCR 357 & LCR 9mm, same barrel?

    Ruger has a Single Six Convertible, a 357 with a 9mm cylinder. Same deal with 22 Mag and 22 LR. I wouldn't be surprised if the LCR 9mm is nothing more than a LCR 357 with a different cylinder and 9mm written on the barrel. Does anyone know for sure? I'd ask the fine folks at Ruger, but I...

    Cutting a squib.

    The last time I shot my H&R 1906 22 was a little over a year ago, and the ammo was CCI Quiet 22 with an advertised velocity of 710 fps. No problems at all. I took it to the range last week with another box of the same ammo and thought it was much quieter than I remembered. I shot a cylinder...

    Fair/good price for pre-lock Model 10 snub in GC?

    What's a good price (not a "I stole it" price) for a pre-lock M10 snub in good condition? No box, no original grips.

    LC9 (non-s) triggers...all the same, and like the LC380?

    Was there more than one type of trigger on the LC9 hammer fired pistols, and, are they the same as the LC380 trigger? Reviews and comments suggest differences. Compared to a LCP Gen 2 trigger, I find the LC380 trigger to be longer and lighter. And that's only comparing one of each. I suspect...

    LC380 slide won't cycle with trigger forward

    I'll call Ruger Monday morning, but want to see if anyone here has insight to this. This is a pre-owned gun, and I've only dry fired it (always with a snap cap). After pulling the trigger I'd release the trigger and use both hands to eject the snap cap. On the first pull of the slide the slide...

    32 ACP, enough bullet in case?

    I'm ready to start reloading 32 ACP, and thought I'd start with a few dummy rounds. I'm concerned with how little of the bullet is seated into the case. case length: .676" bullet length: .422" (Berry's 71gr PRN) According to my rifmatik: .118" of bullet in case with .980" OAL .128" of bullet...

    32 ACP, Berry's 71gr .312" & Fiocchi brass?

    Has anyone used this combo with success? I found something on reloading the 32 ACP which said the European brass has thicker walls and the European bullets are slightly smaller diameter than the thinner walled USA brass with slightly larger diameter bullets. And, that using the larger diameter...

    FEG 32 ACP mag will hold 380s. Normal?

    A FEG AP-MBP 32 has a mag which will also hold 380 ACP rounds. Is this normal, or do I have a 32 with a 380 mag?

    Short-case .38 Spl for snubs?

    With all the hype and marketing regarding SD ammo I'm surprised that no one (that I know of) has ever had the swell idea of making .38 Special with shorter cases, cases short enough to be knocked out completely like the 3" barrel guns with full length ejector rods. It would be similar to...

    1970s? Charter Arms 380, has anybody seen one?

    I never heard of this until a couple of minutes ago. I'm guessing 1970s since it's a Stratford gun, that was made in West Germany. Might be early 80s. A current GB ad, and a pic from a magazine for sale on ebay. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/768808708

    LCP 7-rd magazine (made by Ruger)

    Have any of you used this? Likes, dislikes? It looks like a good thing, a Ruger factory mag that holds seven. This one is for the original style LCP's, not the LCP II.

    Kel-Tec P-32 10 rd factory magazines

    I read some reviews of these, and there were many reports of the things just falling apart. Are they that flimsy? Is the big plastic grip extension part removable, or is that what holds it together?

    3" 649-1, did S&W make this?

    I've searched and found nothing that says anything about a 649-1 with a 3" barrel. There seems to be a recent 3" 649, but that's a .357 with a full lug barrel and non-fluted cylinder. This is a .38, and it looks polished, too. The listing has a bunch of pics, but the only one that shows the...

    Too much pitting?

    I think there's some pitting in the charge holes. Would it be a deal breaker for you?
