    Short Lane Black Powder Adapters.

    Hey Guys, Here is a company that has some interesting products. The two that interest me the most are the 209 primer adapter for break action shotguns and the Blackout series. Which is essentially a reloadable shell that accepts 209 primers. An easy way to get that Damascus shot gun going...

    Charter Bulldog in 45ACP Wishful Thinking!

    Hey Guys, In my fight to stay awake on this long third shift, I got to thinking :rolleyes: Wouldn't it be nice if Charter produced its Bulldog in 45ACP? I mean given its track record and the 45's equal ballistics, the advantage of moon clips (IMHO), the economical price of the Bulldog...

    Saturday Night Specials range trip.

    Shot my Brand new JA380 just now. I ran 50 rounds through it and ZERO MALFUNCTIONS imagine that. Shoots about 2.5" high at 10 yards but grouped very well. Recoil is a little stiff but not too uncomfortable! It ran a magazine as fast as I could pull the trigger. I fluffed and buffed this pistol...

    How do you carry your all steel snubbie.

    What holster do you guys use? How do you dress with certain carry options? I have a Bianchi IWB that I usually put in the Appendix position. But it's really not all that comfortable. I also have a OWB holster, while the most comfortable I can only use that with a jacket because it prints to...

    Jimenez JA380 Fluff n buff.

    Ok some may find this helpful. If you find yourself with a Jimenez firearm, you will most likely need to go through it and buff and polish some areas that the factory simply does not do. For instance the number one thing to do is address the crude finished feed ramp. The one I just got had...

    The 1:48 twist round ball shooters thread

    Hey guys, I know we talked about it here and there, but let's get right down to the heart of the matter. Seems manufacturers made plenty of rifles with this 1:48 twist rate. Post up some pics of your best groups with round ball out of the 1:48 barrel with load data. Just how good can they be. I...

    Jonathon Browning Mountain rifle

    There is one of these on the table at the gun show. It's Unfired looks very good, actually it's black powder eye candy. It's missing the rear barrel wedge. Looks as if it's 1 inch across the flats. Can anyone tell me about this thing.

    Set trigger will not engage

    Hey Guys, I hope you guys didn't eat to much but had a great Thanksgiving. Anyway I just returned from a gun shop here in town that I just found out about. Gotta check out the little guys. Any way he had two Hawkins style Rifles on the wall. One was a CVA and the other A Thompson. The Thompson...

    Ballistic Gelatin tests are they reliable?

    Are these tests reliable? I understand that it is the only thing we have to test how different rounds or cartridges compare to one another. But here is why I pose the question. On the tube you have guys using different percentages of ballistics gelatin usually 10 and 20%. Is the 20% more dense...

    Why no smallish 22WMR Semi Auto's

    All this .22 talk got me to thinking. Why is there no small~ish 22 magnum semi auto pistols made? Something the size of a Mosquito, P22, SR22 (maybe) that would hold 10 rounds. Now that would be a cool little weapon. Is it the length of the round? I mean I know about the PMR30 and AMT, but they...

    Nagant Revolver Bad Accuracy claims are not fair.

    Hey guys hope you all are having a good week and I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. I was watching youtube vids and I simply think the Old ugly Nagant gets a bad rap from that SLOW PPU ammo. At the range yesterday I compared PPU and Surplus. My Tula Nagant shot the PPU VERY HIGH. I...

    Crimson Trace Laser Grips for the LCR

    Guys think twice before you go and spend the money (and quite a bit of it) on these grips for the Ruger LCR. The wife and I just got back from the range. The new nickname for her Ruger is A@$ KICKER!! It was all we could do to put 50 rounds down the pipe, 25 for her and 25 for me. The rounds...

    Is the Phoenix HP22 the best CHEAP semi auto range toy?

    I've been watching and reading reviews on this little dude for a few years. Well I must say I don't hear a whole lot of bad things about the thing. I figure for 130 or 140 bucks I may grab one to plink around at the range. I'll have to find a gun shop that carries them. I won't pay shipping then...

    Entry Level SAA

    What do you guys think of the entry level (read cheaper some sub 400 bucks) SAA clones? Like the EAA bounty Hunter, Traditions, Pietta, etc I'm just bouncing around looking at them. I'll pull the trigger on one sooner or later. Also I'm gonna go with either the 45LC or 44-40. What is the...

    Lee 45 Conical Mold

    Hey Guys, In my reading somewhere in my search for the end of the internet a gentleman stated his favorite Lee mold for the 44 caliber revolver. Instead of saving the link like a bone head I moved on. Now thinking back on it I want the info. He said its a .45x mold from Lee but the bullet...

    You're Killing me Cabelas

    They are not making it any easier to refrain from buying more smokers with the awesome sale they have going on now. I think my me money stash is about to take a hit. Free shipping? And a 199 dollar 1862 Police, who don't want a 6 shot 5.5" barreled .36?

    Using Nagant Brass to Make 32 S&W Long

    Hey Guys, I was wondering is it possible to use once fired commercial 7.62X38 brass trimmed down to load 32 S&W Long. I have a bunch of it and I won't be reloading for the nagant revolver. But I will be reloading for my Hand Ejector Third Model. I know the rim on the nagant is not as thick...
