Me and my brother both recently acquired 22/45s. I bought an Uncle Mike's Sidekick #5 for mine (4.5" Slab Sided Barrel) and it fits real nice. My brother has the 5.5" Bull Barrel w/adjustable sights. I want to buy a holster for him. Looks to me that Uncle Mike's #6 is the ticket. Can anyone...

My SIL wants to buy a bunch of ammo and likes Midway's prices, but wants to know if their estimates on shipping dates are fairly reliable. I've bought a lot of stuff from Midway, but I don't need any ammo and have never ordered any of their "backordered" stuff, so I just don't know. Anyone...

Hey pards; I have one incoming and it will be my first open top. So what's with the wedge? How do I operate this thing?

I'm loading 357 magnum, Sierra 125gr SJSP over 9.7gr Herco, CCI SP and new Winchester brass. I'm loading them on a Lee Turret with Lee carbide 3-die set. The issue I'm having is, while the crimp doesn't look particularly overbearing, the soft point is coming out slightly mushroomed and with a...

I see a lot of load data that makes no distinction between the hollow point and the flat point bullets.... just states "XTP". I was under the impression that given the very deep pocket on the hollow point XTP, resulting in a longer bullet than others of the same weight, one needed to reduce the...

I bought the old, but well preserved Rossi levergun (.357 mag, 20" barrel) I posted about last month and finally had a chance to try it out. Thought I'd give a quick report. Heading to the range I had 50 rounds Leverevolution and 40 rounds Corbon DPX; neither particularly practical plinking...

So I picked up an 80's (I think) vintage Rossi 92 SRC in .357, 20" barrel. I've never loaded for .357 although I needed to start anyway to feed my daughter's GP100. So, I'd be happy to see some pet loads for plinking that will work well in both the levergun and the revolver. Thanks,

A friend of my brother's wants to sell me his levergun and I'm looking to give him a fair price. I have not seen it yet, but my brother has it at the moment and went over it on the phone with me. It's a Rossi 92 SRC in .357 Magnum. Some of the markings: Amedeo Rossi SA Model 92 SRC Interarms...

FYI: I just received an email from Regina at Howell Old West and, answering my latest inquiry regarding a 32 S&D cylinder for the 1863 Pocket Remington, she said that Kenny has the cylinders turned and with some minor touches to the caps they can be blued and prepared to ship. She also said...

Sacramento County Sheriff May Consider Changes Amid Budget Cuts The Sheriff say the loss of patrol officers may require him to reconsider the criteria for CW permit issuance, when the criteria stated later in the article lays out five conditions under which the vast majority of citizens could...

I killed a small, 18" rattler in the driveway yesterday and buried it about a foot deep. I'd have went deeper, but the soil here is very rocky and that's all I could muster. Anyway, came home from work tonight and notice the hole's been disturbed. Looks like something stole my rattler! Got the...

Mrs. Grymster told me on Tuesday to get the son-in-law an air rifle for his upcoming birthday. She told me not to spend more than $100 on it. I had planned to do some research, but didn't get to it yesterday. I did however, stop at Big 5 on the way home from work and they had air rifles on...

Celebrating the future-ex-son-in-law's :) birthday this weekend and my daughter bought him a Mossberg 500 for HD. She consulted me before heading to the store, but when she got there, all they had was the combo unit, which sports an 18 1/2" barrel and a 28" barrel. Well, she bought it and that's...

Going to the range today. I'm bringing just the '58 and '63 Remingtons. Got a couple questions. I just discovered I don't have any wads for the '63, so is buckshot soft enough to shave a ring? What else might I do? Can I stuff a .44 wad in there? Is 10 - 12 grains FFFG or Pyrodex a good load...

Mancamp is coming up next month and there's nothing like laying in the tent during an afternoon thunderstorm, sipping 18 year old scotch from a tin cup and reading a good book. I'm looking for a hunting/wilderness adventure novel or even a collection of short stories. So, pick a book for...

She bought one some time back and it seems to be too big and bulky and the DA trigger pull seems too much for it to serve as a good home defense weapon for her. I think I’ve talked her and her husband into getting something a bit easier for her to handle. They both like the idea of another...

We visited a vendor this morning to check on some work they're doing for us. Walked in and asked for our contact. The receptionist paged him and while we were waiting, I noticed a very large pig head mounted to the wall. Had 4+ inch teeth on it. I said "Nice pig! Probably made some tasty chops...

out of season, on your own property? Just sittin' here reading through some threads and took this. Fired up Photo Booth, swung my Mac around and hit enter. She wasn't 15 feet away.... I'm hungry!

How 'bout a sticky for members wanting to say goodbye? Maybe they're heading off to Iraq or Afghanistan, or they'll be on extended travel and won't have access to the forum for a long period. Maybe they're angry and want to express their feelings in a parting post. Maybe they know they'll be...

Wolverines in Truckee? I think it's cool that these animals have shown up in California again. I always thought they were a far-north kinda animal. What caliber for wolverine? Howdya' cookem? I was thinking, grilled, covered with sauted mushrooms and collard greens and served over a bed of...
