Doesn't take much fire at the back of the cylinder to set off a slightly loose cap. Testing with no caps on the nipples doesn't prove much.

Me too.

Our governor, with a level of firearms acumen that is unusual among politicians, has mandated that no magazine shall contain more than 7 cartridges. This has leveled the 'playing field' between revolvers and semi-automatics considerably. Extended capacity firearms and magazines have become a...

Well, according to the internet gurus, the BMWs use plastic in the engine bay that deteriorates and breaks after a few years. If BMWs really are the best, they must use good plastic. So expect plastic guns to eventually face the same fate. Only thing working in our favor is smaller heat cycles.

I find my steel Kahr K9 and my G43 are virtual twins, sizewise. I shoot the K9 well and the weight sure soaks up the recoil. But the G43 and a 9mm Shield are both a lot easier to live with. The Tupperware guns each see a lot more activity than the K9.

TC would do well to go back to its roots: decent quality muzzleloaders and Contenders...but it probably can't. The S&W lawyers have seen to that. Besides it no longer has that stash of high quality wood that made the MLs look so good. I like TCs, even the plastic ones. They once were a great...

I've used 700-800 SA primers so far...500-600 actually fired. Experiencing about a 2% FTF rate in revolvers fired DA. Less than a quarter of that rate in DA revolvers fired SA and SA revolvers. Can't remember any failure in semi-autos...all striker fired. Most failures went off on the second...

Just took a look at my F1. No jacks anywhere. But thanks for the video, JMorris. Glad yours has one.

I bought an F1 Chrony some years ago. Never used it. I know how I am. I'm a fiddler and this would be something else to fiddle with. I'd go to the range to shoot the guns but would end up fiddling with the Chronograph...until it got shot. Then I'd have to have another. So I looked at it and saw...

Titan still lists the old ACP for $90. No mention of the deluxe ACP...that I've seen. Does Titan sell the deluxe model? Is Lee shipping it?

Don't leave it outside and it should be fine.

I've got a Pietta 1873 Gen II Single Action Revolver. It's in 357 with a 5 1/2" barrel. They call it the Great Western II and it was a Davidson special with 4-clicks and no transfer bar. It seems to be fine except for a rather heavy trigger. I'm sure the trigger could be made quite nice by...

Right! Context always has value.

I think it's some small, involuntary reaction to the discharge in such cases. I have a Canadian friend that's very strong on 2A rights. She went through courses (don't know what passes for firearms training in Canadia) and can identify and clear jams lightning fast...but she can't run a SA...

Depends on the gun. The Python rarely gets shot DA...partly because I can't shoot that thing worth a darn DA. OTOH SA is excellent so that's how it gets shot. The 586 is another one with an excellent SA, so I shoot it SA. DA is OK, but SA is great. I shoot the Security Sixes DA because I'm...
