    Sheridan Blue Streak

    .30 Super or .30 Luger? *read first post*

    The Blackhawk has a long barrel but also has that cylinder gap. I found this info at the Ruger forum: "My favorite 30 Carb load is 14gr of W-296 with a Speer 110gr jacketed round nose bullet. Chamber pressure is a modest 28.5k psi at about 1250 fps." Hope this helps.

    SIG P210 Target - from my perspective

    It's not really a "requirement", more a goal of getting the most accuracy per dollar. While my P210 was more accurate than most of the 9mm's I tested, it was not more accurate than my much cheaper Remington R1 The handguns that you list are great guns; let's look at their prices: HK P9S SG III...

    SIG P210 Target - from my perspective

    If I am testing for the intrinsic accuracy of the gun, I test sitting down at a bench with gun on a padded support. Sometimes the support is for the bottom of the grip, sometimes it's for the front of the gun - I can't tell which is better. With a good .22 with ammo it likes, 4 MOA is doable...

    SIG P210 Target - from my perspective

    Thanks for the replies. Combat accuracy (8 MOA) is the minimum that I was looking for. I suspect that very few combat autoloaders available today can do that. The P210 would not consistently do it for me and would often return 10-12 MOA groups. The new Python; priced in the same range as the...

    SIG P210 Target - from my perspective

    The recent thread "9mm Pure Target Gun" received several replies recommending the SIG P210 Target, and it got me thinking about my own experience. Some background: I've been shooting for more than 50 years and reloading for almost 50. I have owned and shot a lot of centerfire autoloaders. About...

    Has anyone bought an SKS... Lately

    I see them for sale priced at entry level AR-15 levels So I wonder: what motivates the purchase - not bashing the SKS, just wondering

    Suggestions wanted for PCP please.

    I suggest checking out the Umarex Notos It is compact and quiet - if that matters to you And it's cheap enough for you to buy an electric compressor also

    Quality of less-famous handguns

    I will take a closer look - it certainly looks like the barrel exterior is chrome plated Thanks for the advice

    Quality of less-famous handguns

    My eperience with the Girsan MC P35: I picked a brand new one up this August. I like the BHP but am not willing (or able) to shell out genuine BHP money Apperance and functionally, I think the Girsan is first rate So before shooting it, I stripped it down and lubed it I was surprised to find...

    The new Colt revolvers don't do it for me

    I am glad to see so many responses. As I am nearly revolver-less at the moment I don't really have a horse in this race. But I have owned Colts, S&W and Ruger revolvers and enjoyed them all. As for me - if I had a choice between a new Colt and a gently used Trooper, Official Police or Police...

    The new Colt revolvers don't do it for me

    Am I the only one who finds the new Python and Cobra models ugly? Maybe not on their own, but put one beside any of their older models - including the Police Positive and Official Police - and tell me if you agree Notice the elegant curve of the trigger guard and the cylinder release on the old...
