Stopped in LGS last Saturday to see if they had anything interesting & spied an old Walther in the used gun case. Sales guy was clueless, other than the grips, no caliber or manufacturer stamped on the gun, only PP 7.65mm stamped on the magazine. I spotted the waffen stamps & price seemed low...

Just don’t see these now out of production sets coming available often so I snatched this one up today. Came with all the case candy, 2-1/2”, 4”, 6”, 8” barrels, EKW muzzle brake, & three other grips everything unused/unfired. I have a 15-2 pack & everything is compatible, had extra green...

Added a 1964 vintage Beretta 950b Jetfire to my mouse gun collection. I don't know what is but I like these little guys a lot & wanted another 25ACP if I'm going to take the time to reload 25's. 8+1 capacity makes it a perfect pocket pistol & they are known to be very reliable-will check it out...

I’ve been looking at these for years & the kits aren’t getting any cheaper so I got one coming my way. https://www.muzzle-loaders.com/traditions-blunderbuss-kit-54-caliber-percussion.html I have some ideas for some inlays & finishes to make it my own-should be a fun build. Found some very nice...

Went out yesterday morning before the snow storm hit & came home with a sweet 1949 vintage Colt Woodsman. Got her field stripped (a bit tricky) & cleaned up while we're snowbound today. It's been well taken care of & wasn't very dirty at all & a nice bright bore. One more John Browning design to...

New Pistol Project Picked up a Lyman .54 Plains Pistol kit. Should be a great project to keep me occupied for a while & it will go well with my .54 Hawken riffle. Its going to take a lot of draw filing to get all the stupid warnings stamped into the barrel but I want it to look like a period...

Got my dies in the mail yesterday & loaded up 100 32 Auto rounds using Hornady 85gr XTP bullets. I had thought 380 was as small as I would go but thought I should be able to reload all the calibers I have. I just used my old Lee hand press, took my time (about 2 hrs) & they came out nice. Will...

Picked up a rifle from my youth yesterday. I was to slow & the one I went to buy had sold but he did have a very clean Nylon 66, just like the one I used to shoot the hell out of at Boy Scout camp. Wasn't going to let this very reasonably priced one pass so I brought it home and upon closer...

If happiness is a warm gun I was one happy SOB last weekend. Me & the Vaquero went out on the open range & had it out with the dueling tree. I guess I'd never put so many rounds through it quite as fast in the past & the cylinder got some pretty rainbows that I'd never seen before. Also shot a...

It's been 40 years since I had a lever action rifle & I've been shopping for one in 45 Colt to team up with my Vaquero for over a year. Picked up a Marlin 1894 Cowboy Limited manufactured in 1997 (JM stamped barrel)in like new condition last week. I looked at everything I could get my hands on &...

Got a Kahr/Auto Ordnance Thompson T5 (aluminum receiver) as a Christmas present & was thrilled until I actually started trying to use it. It was rough as a cob right out of the box, stick magazine needed work just to be able to slide into the gun, stick mags had multiple malfunctions & drum mag...

Out yesterday with the long suffering Mrs Schlitz, I was shopping around for a couple of my bucket list guns & told her if she saw something she liked I’d buy it for her. She’s been picking up every small revolver she sees lately & expressed interest in S&W 642 style revolvers. They had an...

I saw a polished/tricked out Ruger SRH on the Gemini Customs site https://www.geminicustoms.com/ruger-revolvers/?doing_wp_cron=1553459337.3291809558868408203125 very cool but not something I can afford to do on a beer budget. So the last few weekends after shooting I've spent several hours...

Took my new P365 out this morning after fondling it for a week. Put 220 rounds down range, 20 SIG V-Crown 124gr, 100 SIG 124 FMJ's, & 100 Federal aluminum case 115gr FMJ's-ran like a machine with zero problems. Couple of things I learned about the 365 today-I can draw & fire this gun with gloves...

Left the Ponderosa & payed a visit to my private silver mine, did some experimenting, & after a bit of work in the reloading room I have my first batch of Lone Ranger rounds. Mostly I wanted something to look especially good in my black leather gunbelt loops & these are going to be the ticket...

Went out shooting with my buddy this morning & tried out my initial reloads for the 454 Casull-28.5gr of H-110 with 300gr Hornady XTP Mags. I don't think I'll go much more than this minimum load, its very accurate & easy to handle. The fireball is pretty impressive & something that I'm not used...

Been thinking about it for quite a while & just added an Alaskan to my backwoods carry options. I'm still feeling it in my hand & arm from this morning’s initial outing with 100 rounds fired-the 325gr bear loads were at the edge of my recoil tolerance but damn it’s fun. This one still has me...

A while back I bought several wooden Winchester ammo boxes, used the ammo, & now started making one of them into a box to hold Mrs. Schlitz revolver. I have some gray velvet for lining & pecan stain leftover from another project that should look good. Also have some artwork for the lid & sides...

Decided to give reloading a try. I've started shooting a 45Colt revolver and prefer jacketed bullets that run anywhere from $32 to $40 for a box a fifty around here. So the cost, easy size cases to work with, along with the fact that I'm pushing the empties right into my hand made it seem like...

Went to a gun show yesterday & my wife expressed interest in a Heritage 22 revolver, mostly because she thought the grips looked cool, she even mentioned the gun again last night. Went back today(still had the hand stamp so didn’t have to pay entry fee) & got her the revolver. It will be perfect...
