    Holster for Cheetah 87

    Actually ordered a Kramer cross-draw for the 87 in tan and a vertical tilt scabbard in black for a 4" Python (one of my dad's old guns). I initially ordered (and then canceled) one of the Kramer horsehide double thick gun belts. Couldn't see $142 for a belt. I like to have a holster of some...

    351 PD Ammo Sensitive?

    Sounds like I should send it back to the factory for a check, and see what comes of that. Till then, I'll stick with the Federal's. Thanks, John

    351 PD Ammo Sensitive?

    Ok, so I bought a new 351 PD on Gunbroker last July. Shot it a bit (not many rounds but probably 100 or less), and put it in the safe for about six months. Don't know for sure what I shot then. Fast forward to now. Somewhere along the way I bought 500 rounds of Federal Champion 22 WMR and...

    Holster for Cheetah 87

    Recently got one of these through Bud's Gun Shop - http://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/25642 So far, it's been a lot of fun. My first semi-auto after five wheelguns. Initially had some issues with the Federal American Eagle ammo, including failure to eject a...

    Most accurate .22 ... revolver or auto??

    As far as 22s, I own 3 - all S&W revolvers. A 617 x 6", a 317 x 3", and (just got it today) a 351 PD (actually a 22 WMR). You could very reasonably/easily carry the 317 or the 351 PD. For me, I'm planning on carrying the 351 PD. To have any accuracy with it, I expect I'll have to practice quite...

    Finish the draw

    Millions of dry fires, and dozens of draws on people. Hmmm. :confused:, or is it :eek: Must be in some line of work, or in a really bad neighborhood. :)

    442 broke 1st time out

    The jargon does seem a bit much at first. But if you stick with it, Elvishead, all will become clear. :)

    When have you experienced a lot of misfires?

    .22 Revolver Practice

    Almost always shoot with a 22. Fun, great practice, etc. Usually practice with something bigger as well, but almost always with the 22. For me, I got a Python and DS as gifts from my dad - and decided to get a 617 to help me learn how to shoot them. Maybe I think about this too much, but...

    When have you experienced a lot of misfires?

    So, any of you experience a lot of misfires at one time or another? I hadn't, that changed, and now my eyes are opening. I hadn't had one misfire, ever, in probably a few thousand rounds of 22s, and 1500 or so rounds of mostly 38s (w/some 357s). Almost enough to stop paying attention - never...

    Speedloader for S&W 317/8-shot 22LR?

    Seems this was the most recent thread I could find on the topic of a speedloader for a 317... At any rate, anything new anyone knows on the availblity of speedloaders for this model? I Googled MTM Ammo Wallet, and it just seems to be a way of carrying ammo, not of easily loading it...

    Cleaning a Lightweight

    Too dumb a question or in the wrong place? Seriously, I'd have thought someone would have answered this one. :confused: Mods, please feel free to move if appropriate. Gun cleaning questions like this could be in a more general forum, though this is about revos. Thanks, John
