Picked up a box of 45 acp factory ammo, Winchester Winclean 230 gr . I saved the brass for reloading after a trip to the range. When I de-primed them I noticed the flash hole was huge, much larger than the new Winchester brass I had purchased to reload. Can these be used for reloading? Why...

Just picked up a Highway Patrolman at a gunshow today. It is in really great condition. It has a serial no. on the bottom of the grip, S 12XXXX. This number is also on the the cylinder. When I swing out the cylinder there is a different number. There also is what looks like a # symbol...

A friend of mine showed me her late husband's firearm collection. Very interesting, there was a S&W single shot .22. Sort of looked someone had shaved the sides of the cylinder off of a revolver. One that interested me was a Starr blackpowder revolver, ser. no. 39539. The other marking was...

The wife and I would like to take some basic handgun training course(s). We are planning on visitng the Phoeniz, AZ in early June and were wondering if anyone had any recommendations for training sites. DO any of the indoor ranges offer training? Would appreciate any recommendations or...

I would like to improve the DA pull on my Ruger P95DC and though that replacing the hammer spring might do the trick. Looks relatively easy to do, in fact I have already completely disassembled the gun twice. Do I replace the hammer spring or could I cut off a couple of coils? Is there...

I am planning on purchasing a .45 acp this year. Given the paltry selection of firearms in my locale and the fact that the nearest range which rents handguns is three hours away, making a selection is difficult. In the past year I have been really disappointed in the triggers of pistols and...

How hard is it to replace the grip frame on a Blackhawk with a Bisley grip frame? Does the frame have to be blued? Does the mainspring and trigger spring need to be replaced also?

Can Power Pistol powder be used with lead bullets, particularly .357 Mag 158 gr. SWC or .44 Mag 240 Gr. SWC? I've used it with jacketed bullets in 9mm and .357 but haven't come across it with lead bullets. I am assuming that if its not listed in the Alliant website then I shouldn't use it with...

Will be heading into Phoenix this weekend and thought I might stop off at the Fair grounds to see the gun show. Is this show worth it or will it be like the gun shows in New Mexico; a lot of milsurp stuff, beanie babies, fake Indian jewlery, and homespun arts and crafts (most of it junk)...

I recently acquired a used SP101. A friend liked it so much that he ordered one. His came in Saturday and so off to the range we went. He was using factory ammo (110 grain) and I was using reloads (125 JHP). We noticed that we both were shooting low and to the left. We swapped ammo, same...
