    Identity and Date of Manufacture of Colt Revolvers

    Thanks Jim. I wasn't even sure 100% what the serial number was. I guess I was close enough though. Thank you for your help.

    Handgun competition - best place to start?

    Go shoot. Have fun. Try em all. Action pistol really helped me with trigger control. Improved my scores and times in IDPA, IPSC and ICORE. I didn't really try it at first. Wish I would have.

    New to loading. I get different groups with same load

    Heat, humidity, depth on your ogive, distance off the lands, factory brass versus quality brass. All can affect accuracy. Did you precisely measure each round, weigh each bullet? Some powders are more temp sensitive. I learned a lot from The Handloaders Bench. (google it.) Honestly, I...

    Identity and Date of Manufacture of Colt Revolvers

    My granddad had this Colt and it shows up from 1890s to 1950 based on the serial number. Colt DA .41. On the grip frame 23 27x On the crane 51x and frame a 2 with 51x below. Which number do I use to look this up. I have tried them different ways and they come up about 25-30 different...

    Identity and Date of Manufacture of S&W Revolvers

    Picked up 4 pieces from my Granddad's collection last week. An Iver Johnson Hammerless Top Break .32 made in 1896. (Easy to find the date.) A Colt DA .41 made somewhere around 1920. (I can't pin it down.) My google fu must be weak. I have been looking all over the internet for help with a...

    Do you ever "make" someone carrying? Let's experiment.

    Can't say for sure I have seen anyone who was CCing. (And I was very concerned when I started carrying.) Funny, my uncle was talking to me about concealing a full size pistol last week. (Walther P99 in my case.) At any rate he thought it would be better to carry a compact than fullsize...

    Um... Yes and No... Not one thin dime.... but now I have a load I can hit the dime with.:neener:

    Downsides to reloading.

    The initial cost. After that its all down hill. I am only reloading calibers that I have. It is a short list. However, I know a number of people who would cash out my 9mms or .308s tonight, if I wanted to sell them. If you do a good job reloading and your friends know about it, you...

    CCW with one in the chamber?

    I have never heard of a law that required you NOT to have a round in the chamber. Very few people do carry without one in the chamber. Although there are some. Most folks who carry 1911's go with - condition one. Cocked and locked. - Meaning one in the chamber ready to go with the hammer...

    What mainstream cartridges

    It is easier to pick ones I have use for..... .308 Win, .223, 9mm, .45, .38 / .357, .22, 12 and 16 Gauge. For me the rest are useless. But I noted that a lot of folks have use for ones that I don't. Thats great as it is what makes the world go round!

    My son made a gun comment in school...

    Nice letter. Too long though. My wife is a teacher and if she questioned some students about anything like this she would be disciplined. Insane... she is finding out that anything the students put down, must simply be correct. Regardless! Stick with the following: "It's our...

    Show us a picture of your reloading bench

    New to reloading. Built the bench from my own design... 3/4" plywood cut to 6' then in half and double layered. I put the press on a 2x6 bolted to the bench so that it could be removed easily.

    Where do you guys buy ammo?

    If you are going to shoot, you have got to learn to reload. Trust me, the expense at getting started it worth it! Tonight I cleaned 200 rounds we shot at the range this afternoon. (Cold, but we did it anyway!) Listened to the BB game and set my first stage up and loaded 50. Tomorrow night, I...
