Ok,so Smiths aren't as tanklike as Rugers and you should't shoot a lot of full power ammo but how much is too much? If I run 50 rds of .44Mag. 240gr JHP through it a week am I going to throw the timing off? Also have a question about CCI ammo with the aluminum cases like their .44Mag 240gr JHP...

Currently using 185gr Speer Gold Dots in my G36 but the specs on these particular rounds have me salivating. What do you guys feel would be more effective? Cor-Bon 165gr +P JHP at 1250fps or Federal 200gr +P EFMJ at 1030fps Of course out of a barrel just a hair under 4 inches...

This is what my gunsmith told me as I was paying for the two pre-owned Smittys I bought this weekend. Never really thought about it but after pondering it some I can see where the revolver may have taken a back seat to the semi-auto over the last ten or fifteen years. Well anyway,wheelguns have...

Picked up an LNIB M 66-2 at the gunshop last week and went back to see what else they had. Showed me several used revos but only a 4 inch 686 caught my eye. Then the gunsmith comes out of the back carrying an old,beatup wooden box. Opens it up to reveal a mint M27-2 with a checkered topstrap and...

Ran into a guy at the range who says he has one of these. Claims it's one of a run of 50, magnaported with a satin finish and he paid $800 for it a few years ago. Wonders what it would be worth these days. Never been fired,btw. Any info? Ronin

Saw an ad for a used Python with a 4 inch barrel priced at $549. Very good condition with slight holster wear and a small nick near the front sight. Price seems a bit low to me. Going to check it out on Tuesday. What do I need to know so I don't get tooken. They also have a 6 inch model without...

This gun shoots like a dream! Hard Chromed,in excellent condition and with a one year warranty by my gunsmith for $6oo. Downside,it only came with one mag. Anybody know where I can get extra mags? Will P7M8 mags fit? I'm a happy guy! :) Ronin ps-can I shoot +P ammo through this. As heavy and...

I'm just searching aimlessly for something to buy next. Came across a hard chromed P7M8 yesterday for $650. Looks to be in excellent condition with no grind marks. Gun Test Mag say's it will shoot 1.5 inch groups at 25yds. Figure this gun is a classic and since I can't seem to find anything I...

Never knew this gun existed (lightweight model) in 22LR. It's about 95% and the grips say Made in Germany. Interesting little gun but is it worth $600? Anybody know? Ronin

I know WC means wadcutter but what does SWC & PSWC mean. Lookin' to order some .357mag ammo from Georgia Arms and I'm a bit stumped by the different designations. TIA. Ronin

Has anyone used a Cortec Vapor Corrosion Inhibiter Device (Cup Emitter) in their safe? Dillon Catalog pg 59. Could use some feedback on how effective they are. Ronin

What would be the best .45acp for concealed carry. Would have to be 100% reliable with JHP,accurate,sturdy(can handle +P ammo) and lightweight (comfortable to carry). Also what ammo would you use with your choice? TIA Ronin ------------------ NRA/GOA/GOTF Vote!!

Would storing my hand guns in soft pistol cases like a Takecover with the Microlube liner keep them from rusting in a fireproof safe? Ronin ------------------ NRA/GOA/GOTF Vote!!

Read somewhere that the 9x23 can be shot out of a 9mm semi-auto with a simple barrel change. Does anyone have any info? If true what 9's have this option and/or can handle the extra pressure? Are there aftermarket barrels available to make the switch? Ronin :) ------------------ NRA/GOA

Heard there was a Les Baer forum but I can't seem to find it. Ca any one help? Ronin ------------------ NRA/GOA

Two weeks ago my mind was set. My new gun was going to be a Sig P229 in.40 liberty. Went to a range to fire one before I made my final decision and was quite happy with my choice. There was a Les Baer rental in the case also so I figured,what the heck,when would I get the chance to shoot one of...

Guy at my range is selling a used Model 70 Gold Cup for $700. Gun has not been worked on. Someone else has a used Model 80 with all the bells and whistles for $900. Are these prices reasonable? Is the Model 70 better than the 80? Fired a .45 for the first time yesterday(Les Baer Custom) and now...

Anybody have one? How does it shoot? More accurate,less recoil? Ronin ------------------ NRA/GOA
