This time it wasn't me who did this. I just came across a early set of 1970s or 60s S&W K-Frame Square Butt Target Stocks that have, yes I'm sad to say, been sanded-down on the left panel. Maybe it was the previous owner who did this so he could use speed loaders a littler eaiser. Were talking...

I'm about to drop 8.0 grains of Universal into a .44 Remington Magnum case and top it off with a taper crimp 240 grain cast SWC. Win LP primer, C.O.L. 1.620". Hodgdon Manual #27. Pg.123. A batch of 100 should do it. Do I hear any Performance predictions? I don't have a chronograph. I'll use...

9 mill with a accesory light rail, full size, non stainless steal, blue Sig 226. Thanks.

I just read a post on Winchester White Box 40 cal ammo being a little, shall we say, not up to industry exspectations. Has anyone had a bad experiences with WWB 9mill lately? I've never had a problem with WWB anything; pistol or rifle. But the posting about the 40 cal stuff had me concerned...

I want to buy and or build a real strong revolver to shoot and feed real .357 Remington Magnum loads thru on a regular basis. Real .357s. All 41,900 cups worth. No whimmpy 19,000 cup 38 special stuff. I asked a few good smiths for their opinion on the durability of the most popular revolvers out...

I was warned. While X brand powder is great for 45acp 230 grain, it's a poor choice for 38 Spl light loads. Oh but the powder looked so tan & clean. It color coded so nicely in those nickel plated cases. I'll try just a few. There is a load for it right here on page 12. Properly noted in the...

Let's say you purchased a 1911 stock, 5 inch, Colt or Springfield Armory, in 45acp twenty years ago. Where would those guns be today vs. had you bought a Ranger, Essex, Caspian, Para, Astra, Star, Colt double whatever, S&W or Euro 45acp. What has happened to appreciation and reputation since...

What pistol manufacturer would you prefer your local gang-banger be armed with? If you had to chose. Had to...not like to. With my luck they will probably drop me with a single round at 200 yards, while moving, at night, with a .25 Astra that was stolen from a skid row liquor store in 1976.

If you took a stock GP 100, S&W 'L' frame revolver and removed the hammer spur; thus removing the option of manually cocking the gun, would the altered piece still be considered a double action gun? Or would it be a Single Action gun? I.ve seen a few PPC competition revolvers altered this way...

I'm missing something here. The Springfield XD is a single action pistol, right? And it has a grip safety akin to a 1911...also a single action auto. But the XD has no manual safety, right? That means you carry it with an empty chamber; or you load the XD, cock the XD, and holster the...
