Picked up a S&W 686 earlier this month with the idea that it would be a lot more suitable for Practical Pistol than my beloved K-38. In my mind the L-frame is just a lot more durable than the K-frame.... might be, might not... just seems that way to me. Also decided that I wanted one of those...

Just picked up a 1980s vintage S&W 686 with a 6" barrel.... well, actually I get it in another 5 days as California holds it hostage for 10 days first. I think that I would like to mount one of those holographic red dot sights on it but have absolutely no idea what to look for other than I don't...

Just picked up a 6" S&W 686 and am looking for a moderate 357 plinking load.... don't need full throttle. Will be using the Lyman #358311 160gr RN bullet cast from straight wheelweight. Powders I currently have on hand are Red Dot, Green Dot, W-231 and Unique. Primers are Winchester Small...

Why didn't I think of this before.... I normally wear 7 speedloaders on my belt, 3 in front of the holster and 4 behind. Did make it a bit awkward reaching the ones in back. I use the Safariland 94 buckleless duty belt with their matching inner belt... with everything velcroed together it is...

Do the HKS 25-5 (45 Colt) speedloaders fit the "Large" HKS belt cases?

Have been toying with the idea of mounting one of those Red Dot sights on my favorite K-38. Going from eBay prices it shouldn't be all that expensive of a modification. Just wondering if it would be worth the trouble. As it it, I can usually put a bullet somewhere near where I am looking with...

Would like to put up some shot cartridges in both 38 Spl and 45 Colt but the smallest size shot I have is #9. Anyone willing to sell about 5 pounds of #12?

Was just wondering which method you use. On my Lyman #5 I usually weigh every charge until it consistently throws the desired charge weight. My other method is to throw 10 charges and weigh the result knowing that it should be 10 times the target weight... sort of going for the average. This...

Our local Practical Pistol shoot yesterday was totally fun. One scenario involved 5 dropping targets and one self-resetting target. The shooter was behind a barricade with a 2' wide piece of plywood behind. The object was to hit the 5 dropping targets and then the self-resetting one. About 7...

Hmm.... not a sound I like to hear when out shooting. Was out yesterday burning off the last of a thousand rounds or so of 38 Spl that I had loaded probably 8 or 9 years ago.... 160gr cast SWC and 4.8gr Unique if I remember correctly. This had all been loaded on a Dillon Square Deal that I had...

Just got a set of the "Secret Service" grips from Eagle Grips. All I can say is "WOW". The fit is almost perfect, only very minor adjustment for me to do.

Was just wondering if any given bullet would print higher (or lower) with velocity increase presuming no change in sights? Would the a bullet traveling at say 1000fps print in the same place when traveling at say 800fps if there were no sight adjustment?

Need a little help if you would. My copy of the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook is missing a few pages. Need to find out if they show any load data for the 120gr #358242 cast bullet in 38 Spl with either Unique or W-231. For me this bullet is casting up right at 125gr using wheelweight. Should...

When out shooting Practical Pistol with my favorite 1952 vintage K-38 6", I have 4 of the HKS speedloaders on my belt. Have considered going to the Safariland Comp 2 but have no experience with them. Which do you consider easier to use and more secure as far as NOT accidently dumping the...

When out shooting Practical Pistol with my favorite 1952 vintage K-38 6", I have 4 of the HKS speedloaders on my belt. Have always cast a 150gr SWC for my 38 Spl loads but am now thinking that perhaps a RN design might be a little easier to line up with the speedloaders. In your experience...
