Does anyone have a good load for .38 special, I am using Bullseye, and a 158 gr. cast lead semiwadcutter. How about a target load for a .357 using the same bullet at a .38 velocity? Any good loads for .45 using bullseye and a 200 gr LSW? Thanks

Greetings, No I am not about to let this great firearm go. This Sunday I made a great trade. I traded a SIG 230 SL that I bought 5 yrs ago used ($250) for a COLT Mark IV Series 70 with a nickle finish, and two colt nickle finished magazines. The store wanted 399 for the old COLT so I took out...

Greetings I have recently been getting interested in bullseye shooting and have joined a good club. The club requires that members use lead ammo no jacketed. As a result after buying others reloads I have started to reload myself. Since I am now shooting mostly lead semi wadcutters I have...

I know that this is the headline news reported by the press in Philly only for the source of my 100% statistic, we can call it the casual observational model of civilian handgun defense. In the last year two incidents recieved coverage in the local TV and press where a civilian defended himself...

Hi all, thanks to those who responded to my request for info on the trailside and their experiences. I looked at a Trailside and decided it was not for me, the slide on these is cast and not very neatly, its visible around the uneven cocking serrations. After my second look my impression is...

Hi you Glockers now dont get excited. Its true the Philadelphia police carry G-17 and yesterday in the course of a violent confrontation with a carjacker fired 48 rounds and only scored 5 hits at less than 10-15 feet distance. I think 4 officers fired alltogether but the details are still...

I know that some folks here have purchased SIG Trailsides a while back. How do you like them after some use? I am thinking about buying one but they seem expensive. Are thay worth the price? 5.5" standard model 399.00 4.5" target model 479.00 Can you get spare mags. What is the frame made out...

I recently talked to two local police armorours and they both seemed to agreee that using grease on any part of the gun unless completly sealed (what part is that) is no good. The reasons: 1. Grease collects dirt and grit, good oil flows the dirt and grit away while grease holds it. 2. grease...

Hi All I have noticed that there seem to be a number of TFLers that live close to me in Wilmington DE. I was wondering if any of you wanted to get together for a TFL shoot. AR-15's and or pistols, If you want to do an AR15 shoot we would go to Ommenlanden in DE. If not we could meet some evening...

I wanted to solicit some opinions on Sellier and Bellot ammo. I was looking at Eric's ammoman.com site and considering buying some 9mm anmmo for practice. I noticed the NATO subgun ammo that travels in excess of 1200 feet per second. I have heard people suggest that this high velocity ammo is...

I noticed that Ammoman.com has several varieties of .223 ammo at varrying prices and I wonder If any of you have a recommendation as far as accuracy, hunting personal defense etc: The choices are as follows: Winchester Q3131 55 gr FMJ 99.00 per 500 Federal Red box FMJ 55gr. 109.00 per 500...

I saw one of these Used in a gun shop with Heinie Slant pro sights hogue grip and a low profile wilsons? safety. The price was $399 the gun was shot very little. Is this a good gun good deal? I want a 1911 and it seems that this one is small enough to carry but with a full size champion frame.

How many chemicals do you use in the cleaning process?? What about ventilation?? I read the gun cleaning procedure comments that George Hill made in an earlier thread. George, the last step in your chemical fog process should be see pink elephants and little green elves and pass out. Do you...

Since Glock has the worldide market, and LEO sales will they soon leave the civilian market in the US. All Gun dealers in DE seem to think it is getting harder to get a glock. Rumor is that they may discontinue US civilian sales. A NIB G26 now goes for $540 if you can find one.

Tonight I took my brother in law shooting he is considering a gun purchase and since I am the gun nut in the family (nice jewish boys dont own guns let alone love to shoot) I took him to the local target master. Bob's dad has had a carry permit for the family business for many decades and...

Thats right folks while we were all cursing S&W's sellout the governor of Maryland has just about succeded in passing a law which would require an internal hammerlock on all handguns sold in Maryland after 2003. The republicans who were going to fillibuster to block the bill have conceded...

I had a thought that the present agreement really only concedes on the smart gun issue. All the other concessions are things that S&W already does (trigger locks with each gun. Authorized dealers already do background checks at gun shows because they are ALL FFL holders). So their current move...
