Just sitting here reloading and thought of this question. What is your favorite bargain price handgun? Some cheap purchases end up being one of your most prized possessions. For me, it is a Smith & Wesson Model 10 .38 Special with a bull barrel. Shooter grade, $239. This is probably close...

Bought an old keg of 700X from a guy on the cheap. Started experimenting with it in 9mm and .38 special. Using 125 grain cast bullet. Worked up test loads with several different quality powders. Clays, 231, Titegroup, Bullseye, etc. The 700X outperformed all other powders in these 2...

Picked up a revolver with a really sweet double action. The problem is will not strike primer hard enough. Using CCI primers in my reloads. Anyone ever have this problem. I have been reading that they sometimes tune action to Federal primers that are supposedly softer. Smith & Wesson. Yes...

Just picked up one of these. Shot 30 rounds of my light 9mm reloads through it. Accuracy is great for what it is. Light loads cycled action fine. Factory rear sight is a joke, plastic but what do you want for this price. Local price for me was $267. I definitely will get my moneys worth of...

I have been looking at AR-15 style rifles chambered in 9mm. Thinking this could be alot of shooting fun. Looking for input and experiences from those that own or have owned one of these. Thank-you.

Anyone have any experience with these? Love shooting .45 auto but sick of chasing cases. Also, have a re-found love of revolvers. Let me know your thoughts, accuracy, quality of build, etc. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

Got the bug for a single action. Was looking at the Heritage .22 LR single action. Seems fairly well made and made in the USA. Does anyone have any experience with these?? Quality, longevity, accuracy. Thanks

So last night I go to shoot combat and take 2 guns. A Springfield XD 9 Tactical and a Kimber Custom Target. I brought a couple hundred rounds for each of my reloads. The Springfield ran flawlessly and the Kimber fell on its face. Failure to feed, eject, etc. This is not intended to be a...

I am probably going to buy these when I use up my current supply. Looking for input from people who have used this bullet. Also, load data for what you have found works best for you. I would be shooting these out of a 5 inch Kimber. Thanks

Been playing around this winter with some light 9mm loads using Missouri Bullet 125 grain lead. So far my best have been 3.0 grains of 700X and 3.2 grains of Titegroup. The Titegroup load is actually under spec. from all the data I have found but seems to shoot well. I bought some Wolff...

Bought one of these a while back. Have shot it quite a bit. The one I have is excellent, no problems, very accurate for a small defensive pistol. I have been shooting reloads and found out that the chamber is un-supported. I would only shoot low pressure reloads because of this condition...

I am an experienced reloader. All of my loads are within safe loading specs. These were shot from a Taurus P709 slim. I have cases that are bulged down close to the head. Different headstamps, not all as bad. All shot at the same time. Baffling to me. Will these cases still be safe to...

I have been looking at one of these. PT145 Millennium Pro Looking for input from current or previous owners. Reliability, functionality, problems, etc. I like the idea of the slide safety common with 1911 style guns. I have owned several handguns and am not a newbie. How would you rate the...

When switching to IWB carry, how long does it take to get used to it. I bought a quality Ken Null UNS holster for a Glock 30. Feels like a brick in the pants. What is the break in period for a holster? I think this is probably the best method of carry but having a hard time getting used to...

Thinking about buying a Glock 30. Looking for input from current or previous owners. Can you shoot reloads out of it?
