I have never shot a SASS side match. Are NAA mini revolvers SASS legal for the derringer side matches?

I have an old SXS 10ga Parker shotgun that I found in attic when we moved in to the new home. The issue is the left barrel is split down to about 19 inches. Assuming the cylinder walls are thick enough, what would the cost be to higher a skilled gunsmith and have it cut back to a coachguns and...

Just finished a local self defense single day pistol training. It was a small class of 7 people. My self and my brother both attended the class. There was a main trainer and he had an assistant. Before attending the class I looked up what guns are appropriate for the class. The rules...

I have been pocket caring a revolver for most of my life. I recently went with a larger revolver for a higher capacity. Unfortunate it has a hammer spur. I have tried it with some drawing practice and while it does not catch as often as you would thing it does get caught some times. Is there...

A few months ago after years I finally got my wife to get her CCW again after letting it expire. After that I took her to the store and let her try out a few pistols. She decided on the Sig P238 as that is what she use to have before the house fire. At the range it was shooting fine with...

I reload in the basement and I always keep my powder sealed but I am afraid that the humidity got to my primers... The primers seem to still go off but they back out even with no powder or bullet in the casing. It stops my revolvers from being able to turn. It doesn’t seem to mess with my lever...

I learned to shoot pistols on revolvers. For about 20 years I carried and practiced with a S&W 640 j-frame. I loved the gun and got so I shoot it pretty well. About 2 years ago it was stollen. At that time I still wanted a revolver as I still shoot those better than semiauto pistols. So I...

Thinking about a cool ccw gun. Mostly for fun but also possibly for protection. Is there any snub nose (2.5inch or less barrel) double action 45LC out there? Preferably a reputable brand.

I have been on a civil war kick recently and if I can afford it I’d like to get a LeMat revolver. I want to actually shoot it and I likely could not afford a real one any way. So I’m just wondering if the ones from places like Taylor’s are any good. Thanks!

I know that no such creature exists but hypethetically if they made an X- Frame that shot 357 magnum how many rounds could it potentially hold? I know “N” frames can hold up to 8 rounds.

I am looking for a gift for a good friend of mine. He loves the 45lc and would like to have a ccs gun in his favorite round. He is a very large man so any thing N frame or smaller would likely be ok. Currently he pocket carries an N Fran 44 mag with 44 special but he like the 45lc better. He...

I want to start this by saying I have never liked IWB carry. I have bought about 10-12 different holsters from multiple different makes and it was just never comfortable. I have a job where I have to sit alot. So I went with pocket carry. I have been carrying a snub nose N frame (I know big...

I have a Ruger 77/357 that runs with a suppressor. I have worked up a load that I like using a (heavy for caliber) 246 grain bullet seated in to 38 special brass but with the length of a slightly longer 357 magnum. The bullets are cast lead. I am looking for what the ideal twist rate would be...

Looking for some published load data for 300mp powder with a 140 grain hornady bullet. My google is not helping.

Lets say I have 2 identical barrels (I know this is not possible). But one barrel is a slow twist (say 1 in 20) and the other is fast twists (say 1 in 10). Which barrel should shoot faster? What effect on accuracy will a twist rate too fast have? Such as a bulet that is ideal at 1-15" going...

Any one that makes pocket holsters that can do one for this gun. I currently have a home made one but would like some thing better. I ordered one from Mikas pocket holsters last year in Feb and I got a few emails but then radio silence. Any other places make pocket holsters? I know my gun is...

I am looking at paying some money to get a match grade barrel installed on my Rguer 77/357. I Want it to be 16-16.5 inches long and threaded for a suppressor. IS there a company out there that could/would do this? I know its not cheep.

So today I go to one of my favorite stores that is not gun related. When I go to that store. I see a new big sign on the door reading "NO FIREARMS, NO OPEN CARRY, NO CONCEALED CARRY". So I stand out side the store where the clerk can see me and wave for him to come over. After helping a...

I am making a display for my lever action SBS and would like some all brass 12ga hulls to put in to it. Either they are hard to find or my google skills are failing. Any Idea where I can get some?

as a barrel gets more warn from shooting what effect does it have on the bullet speed? Do the barrels get faster or slower with use?
