So there it was, laying in my dealers case...a hard to find Croatian HS2000 9mm pistol. I've only seen 2 of these before including this example. I guess Springfield is selling these now as a XD9. Original HS2000 are seldom encountered. Now one of them is mine, great underrated pistol, this one...

Is it a decent center console pistol?

So I was at my local gun shop this morning and, spotted a 4" Security Six like new condition, sporting original and, target grips, no box etc. Price tag was $450. I felt this was a bit high, super nice revolver but....what are your thoughts?

Were these sights original from S&W on a model 19-5 ? Just picked up this super smith with the red ramp sight, wide target hammer and trigger. 6" barrel.

Bought one recently at a good price, found some features a little more than I appreciate. What think you?

Tripped across a like new Ruger P345 with case and all that was issued with it. What is wrong with me...I did not need it but, I still wanted it. Price was at a give away price. LOL

Same load and coal same bullet, yet the auto rim is all over the place compared to the ACP brass in a S&W 625 PC. Why?

So at my local dealers shop, as usual, in walks a young man wanting to sell a Ruger GP 100 6" blued. Early Model, Dealer bought it, sold it to me at a price I won't post (upsets some members here) way below market value for an early GP100 unfired (less factory) in the case with all the paper...

So the original grips on my S&W 625 PC were the laminated "Clown" style....no way I could live with them, too slippery and, way fugly. Next grips were the CF 313 laser grips, nice, comfortable but, too bulky. So I just stumbled across a very nice set of wood round but grips feel and, look good...

In my local shop today, he just got a S&W model 65 Ladysmith 3" on consignment, very clean, seldom fired, only problem was that the macho individual who owned it removed "Ladysmith" from the side plate....oh well. Still very nice, replaced the wood grips with a set of Uncle Mikes. Not a...

Getting ready to load some Hornady 158 gr HP-XTP bullets using IMR 4227 powder. Hornady's 5th edition manual lists the starting load @12.4 gr and the max load @14.5 gr. Looking at Lyman's revolver load data and, the 47th edition listed starting load @12.2 gr and, the max load @16.1 gr using the...

The madness/addiction continues, but I love it. Tripped across this beauty today....around a 1976 date, seldom fired Highway Patrolman. My S&W's are stacking up...LOL

In previous post I pointed out some serious deficiencies concerning this 4.2" 357 revolver. Needless to say I was not happy. I'm glad I took the advice of forum members who coaxed me to send it back, I was on the verge of giving up on Ruger and, stick to the S&W's. Well, I did send it...

Stopped by my local gun shop today, young lad walks in wanting to sell a S&W 686-1 4" SS wood grips, very nice.....my ears perked up, seems he was looking for $425. gave him a wink and, thumbs up, paid the shop owner his due and, walked home with what I felt was a smoking deal. I'm happy to say...

Plus what is a fair price for one as new condition? Eyeballing one, super nice.

I've had so many problems with the Ruger SP101 4.2" 357 mag , no satisfaction...second one, rep talked me out of sending it back...sent me new rear sights instead, no help. I put it in the back of the gun safe for now....bought a S&W 625 PC in 45 ACP... darn if it can shoot.. wow...this is used...

So there I was just moving along loading 357 mag....one at a time on a Dillon 650 using a mix of RCBS and, Lyman dies. Felt a little rough at times. Loaded a bunch then noticed that I've punched an extra primer hole in some of the brass...bent pin and such. Is this brass safe to use? Should I...

I've had two defective and, poorly finished revolvers. Models are the recent SP101 4.2" .357 magnums, first had so much cylinder left to right slop at lockup that the bullet shaved and would never hit target with any accuracy. Also the spit back from the cylinder gap was excessive to the point...

I'm at a loss how to load these semi jacketed....as a JHP or LHP ? Just inherited a pile of these but, have no clue which powder or safe charge for this bullet,158 gr.

Vihtavuori N133 using 135 and 150 grain bullets. Any luck with that powder?
