At 68 years old, and a handgun shooter for over 50 years, I only got into rifles in the past few years. A couple of Marlin lever actions, and Browning single shots. Got my first AR before the election. A Colt M4 A-1. I was afraid it might be the last chance if the election had gone the other...

I've just gotten the dies and the components to begin reloading 357 Sig. I'm using Redding dies with a Lee crimping die. Sizing with a carbide .40 and then following up with the 357 Sig sizer. So I've read that the case will, despite what the manuals say, headspace on the shoulder. Put some...

Tried a dozen times and that darn 'captcha play thru game' isn't displaying correctly. So I keep having to do it over again. Tried on my linux box, droid and windows laptop and all the same. Anyone a member there can let the admins know it is messed up ? Or give me a name I can put down as a...

Presently I have 21 handguns, like any normal person. :rolleyes: I've always lived in urban areas, never been a hunter, and going to public shooting ranges has been my mainstay for using my handguns. I first got my ccw about 15 years ago and used a fanny pack type thing to carry. For the others...

Got me some Wolf Springs for my Bisley Blackhawk and I've got the grip frame off and wanting to change the hammer spring. It is pretty stout and I'm a bit leery of how to accomplish it. I read in a google search of a fellow putting the strut in a vise and using the tines of a dinner fork but...

Not for me but a buddy of mine is not internet savvy and is dead set on getting a TC Venture in 308. He wants it because he says they guarantee MOA accuracy and it is relatively inexpensive. I'm not well schooled on rifles and neither is he. I'm wondering if he wouldn't be better off with...

Thinking of buying a holster. Some makers don't specify the Browning or FN Hi-Power but say 1911 type. Anyone with both know if the same holster will work with either pistol ? TIA.

Thinking of sending a 640 to Magnaport and have the ports cut into the barrel. I'm wondering if over time there would be erosion from the gases, fire and what have you, running through the ports ? Anyone know if this would be an issue ?

I got an email confirmation of my request to register on the morning of 2-19-11 and no further contact. I'm still waiting for the email authorization giving me posting privileges. If anyone knows a mod over there who might help out I'd appreciate it if you tell them Jimmy10mm wants to get in to...

I had a Sig P229 SAS in .40 and a P238 SAS that I had decided I wanted to sell. I took both to the gun show today and hung a cardboard sign on the front and back of my shirt. The 229 went quick for cash. The P238 attracted some attention but no serious offers. Long story short, I did a trade +...

A fellow has a S&W 640 with a 3" bbl in 38spl. I'm thinking of buying it but the fact that it isn't a 357 and that the bbl is an inch longer than the usual snubbie has me wondering if I'll regret it. I had a 2"bbl 640 and a 340pd so I'm familiar with those. Just wondering if the extra inch will...

I've been thinking about saving my 'mad money' and getting a Freedom Arms 454 for a long time. I figure to shoot mostly 45LC out of it and had read that you can shoot either cartridge out of the 454 cylinder. I have many years of experience with 44 magnums so I am no stranger to recoil. At the...

Although I know the tangent sights don't make much sense the cool factor plays into it strongly. So I got it into my head that I wanted a type 3 Hi-Power with the tangents, bright blue and an FN Herstal model. Finally nailed one NIB and at a great price through Vector Arms. They have more if...

I want to replace the standard sights on my P380. Looking at the accessories on the Kahr website I have a choice of the Novak tritium, the meprolight or the big dot. Anyone have experience with more than one of these systems ? I've got what I believe is the Novak on my Sig P238 and on my Kahr...

I've got a Sig .40 P229 and like it very much but even with my large mitts the grip is too much of a good thing. I see on their website they have aluminum or a rubber/plastic (?) grip. Anyone know if these leave a thinner profile to the grip. Mine has the wooden grips that came with the DAK -...

I bought an all stainless Sig P-238HD and it has proved to be super good. Very accurate at the distance it was intended for and functions flawlessly. The laser is my first and an interesting novelty. I liked the laser at the indoor range until I went to an outdoor range in daylight and...

I'm leaning towards picking up one of the Winchester High Wall 45-90 repros out of Japan that Davidson's had made up. I figure to shoot smokeless 45-70 or maybe reload 45-90 (smokeless) and shoot that. I know these are stamped Black Powder Only but Texasmac, who wrote the book on them, says they...

I had never owned a .380 but the Sig P238 SAS caught my eye and I went for it. Next came a Kahr P380 and I am very happy with both. Nosing around the Internet the other day I came upon Osage County Gun and they had this beauty for sale. The all steel Sig P238 HD with Sig laser and Sig pocket...

Been a long time since I've reloaded. Ranges around town don't allow reloads and I have to go 50 to 60 miles either north or south to be able to shoot reloaded ammo. Due to the paucity of 10mm ammo in my neck of the woods I'm unpacking my rock chucker and have ordered 500 cases from Starline...

I've had a poly framed Glock m-23 for years and cleaned it so seldom that I never worried about solvent on the polymer. Now I have a Kahr P380 and clean it every time I shoot it, as I do with all of my guns other than the Glock. Do I have to worry about using Hoppe's No. 9 in the grip frame to...
