As a collector, I would say the most expensive would be particular models. For example: 1) S&W Registered Magnums. 5500 of them made each one has a registration number so easy to tell them apart. 2) S&W Triple locks. About 16,000 made (?) and very distinctive third lock. Again, easy to...

Its also expensive to go fedex overnight. $100.25 with insurance yesterday....

I have used the 18's in my 38's but you are on "leading ground" if you don't have the right throat and barrel combination. My suggestion is to use the softest bullet you can. I find i can load up my 12 brinnel bullets up to 357 Mag speeds with little leading. it is not until you get to 357...

I have found that like others you just learn to deal with the humidity. I run versamax II's and rotate holsters if they are truly soaked. Normally during the summer I am in shorts so I go for pocket carry and do IWB in slacks which is less often. The humidity is really not that bad. I figure...

I find it interesting. All of my 10mm mags work well. I don't have a bad one of the Mecgar, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, Old Wilson or even Colt. Try one of them.

I have both. Totally different animals! My 2 41's are target pieces. They don't like high speed ammo, they don't like cheap ammo. They don't like to be abused in any way. They are exceptionally accurate and reliable. Dang fun to shoot also. My 87t is a fun gun to shoot. Super fun. It...

As a reloader, the 38 Super is easier. The brass is easier to pick up. Its less fussy about components. It handles lead bullets easier due to the non-tapered case. I can do anything a 9mm can do with my 38 Supers "ballistically" with less pressure given the larger case. So basically 38...

Folgers plastic cans. Cheap (free) and readily available so I use them.

I agree with Tark, the semi-rim was dumb but hey, for its its time (38 Auto) it made sense. I do love my 38 Supers for the same reasons especially the lead aspect. Cheap to keep fed once you get the brass.

Thank you very much. I will do exactly that. What I will start selling off is a bunch (40 or so) of S&W 38/44s and Pre-27's. I also have a Black army 1911 and Broomhandle that are C&R. PM me if interested.

I went back 10 pages of C&R Search and did not figure it out. I read the ATF helpful pages and that did not really make it clear either. So.... I want to start liquidating my pre-WWII revolvers. So can I sell and ship my C&R legal revolvers and semi-auto's to a C&R holder in another...

Wear it in. My best uniflow (I think I have 4 or 5 now for some reason) is the one I use on my pro2000 and the micrometer small insert. It has done about 300,000 rounds and is very smooth. It throws 800x just fine with +/- 0.1 grn normally with a single baffle. When I operate it and my...

The following is the first 300 shots out of a new Les Baer 38 Super 1.5" PII gun I bought back about 4 years ago now. 50 shots per target, 15 yards in the order I fired them. Note Baer says to do at least 500 rounds before you clean it, so I did 300 the first day and then 300 the next if I...

These are some of my 38 Supers. I have Les Baer's (all 1.5"guns) Colt Super Stallion (gold cup) and a match EAA that is a lot of fun to shoot. The thing about Super's is the accuracy and the ease of shooting. See the next post due to the number of pictures.

Good guns. Nice choice to have one on layaway.
