It answers a question that I've never asked.

I've used liquid stuff for years. I haven't tried any of the other brands. One bottle has lasted for many years. I guess if I actually used it on my car it wouldn't last as long.

I'm in the camp of don't do it. That pistol is worth more than what you lead us to believe you want. I'll bet it won't be too hard to find someone who would swap you into what ever you want. I've got two 3" J frames, I love them. So yeah, I'm biased. I think you can find a trade much easier than...

I have a Taurus 441, which is a 5 shot, it's kinda a cousin to your Rossi. I've seen the same warning about the Taurus and I've never tried to hot rod it. My go to powder for it has been Unique. Usually a 7-7.5 load depending on the bullet weight. It's a great shooting pistol and most of rounds...

Spring for a guy in Wyoming is different than for a guy for Texas. I hunted in South Texas for 15 years. We were just west of Houston. It's spring there now. Trees will be leafing out the grass will be green and getting tall. The ability to see hogs in that tall grass starts to get impossible...

Just me but I had a bad experience with a bolt action shotgun. Don't think I could ever trust another. The weld failed the barrel came back as a very large projectile. Luckily, no injuries. I took it back to Montgomery Wards where I bought it and they gave me a load about how they had to send it...

I've used 26 grains of some surplus powder marketed as BL(C)-2 and generic no name 55 gr fmj bullets for years. They have shot just fine for me and I'm not expecting them to be match grade, but they do much better than I think I should.

I've been cleaning blued and stainless pistols for half a century now. Never before have I had an Aluminum framed revolver. I now have a 637. I like the little revolver and it shoots better than I do. My gun club has some nifty steel targets and I'm amazed how well I can knock those things down...

I've had a Kahr K40 for more than 20 years. It has a really tight chamber. Most of my brass came from LE qualification brass pickup. And, most of those were shot thru Glocks. The Glock bulge was a real thing for me. I had to get a LEE Bulge Buster. Easy to use and it solved the problem for me. I...

That is a fine looking pistol. I think you won't have to rely on super duper bullets with a .44 sized bullet. That hard cast should work just fine. I've had a .44 for a lot of years and have never shot a store bought round thru it, I load 240-250 Kieth style hard cast bullets for mine. Have more...

I can remember back to '68 in Ft. Worth, TX. That won't be the "average". Ft. Worth was the home of Tandy leather. You couldn't swing a dead cat and not hit a leather worker. I don't remember seeing many J frames. The detectives I would see usually carried a six shot and mostly S&W's. Some would...

I was in a pinch once and just grabbed a can of Pam out of the kitchen. It worked great. Had to wipe the cases down after use, but it worked really well.

All the Kahr's I've handled are really hard to rack. But, I have had good luck with them overall. If you read the fine print you'll find they recommend not racking the slide to chamber a round. They recommend pulling the slide back to locked position, inserting the mag, then pushing the slide...

Well the Israelis bet a lot of PLO lives on the Beretta 70s, and even thwarted a airline hijacking.

Check out the Revolverguy.com, I just read an review of speed loaders there today and he mentions that brand.
