I searched the forum and didn't find anything on this. I have a Sig P238 which functions perfect with the original 6 round mag. I went and bought (2) 7 round Sig extended mags and neither will cycle. I have tried 3 different brands of ammo; all work with the 6 round but none with the...

Here is the only picture I have of it.

A friend of mine called that he needed to sell his Smith revolver. He sent over the pictures and it is a Smith Wesson 14-3. The unusual thing is that it has a 2" barrel which I was not aware was mfg in the 14-3 model. Can somebody help me out, is this a re-barrel of a a 14-3? The barrel...

I have a tactical solutions for my Ruger 22/45. It has the rail combo with the rear sight and I want to put a reflex red dot on it. I don't want to spend over $150 for the sight. I am having trouble finding which units will fit and the reviews seems to be all over the place. What are the...

Kernel, Where did you find the modified Powley Computer, this looks like a great program. Thanks for the help.

Kernel, does your modified Powly allow you to change the barrell length to 18"?

I am working up a new load for my AR w/ a DPMS Mark 12 upper; 18" 1:8 twist. I have, as mentioned, the Sierra Matchking 69Gr HPBT and Hornady Match brass to start working up a load. I have some H335 but have read in other threads that the H322 does better for heavier 223 bullets. So, knowing...

My son is left handed and after looking at all picked the Smith & Wesson M&P. It has an ambidextrous slide release and the mag release can be reversed to the right side. It's been good for him. He already has a 1911 and likes this setup better. But then everyone has an opinion. Good luck.

I am looking to replaced the standard XD sights with a Warren Tactical rear sight and a Dawson Fiber Optic front sight. The Dawson FO front sight comes in (2) widths; .100 Narrow and .125 Wide. Since I don't have access to a setup with both front sights I have no idea the pros/cons on each...

I had a Nowlin barrel put in my Govt Springfield 1911 last year. I shoot 200 Gr SWC and have had nothing but problems. The SWC hang at the hood. I have had it back to my gunsmith 4 times, changed recoil springs and still it will still hang. I have tried different OAL's from 1.2 to 1.26 to see...

I am looking to consolidate my powder requirements down to Varget. I currently use H335 in my Dillon 550B and it meters very well. I have not used Varget and wondered if it meters as well as H335.

The more I read and search about loading rounds for an AR-15, the more confusing it seems to get. Some of the data almost seems to contradict. I am using a 55 Gr FMJBT with H335 and CCI 41 primer. Seems this would be pretty simple but the data is not lining up. Case 1 FPS: Hornady...

This has probably been experienced by others but I need some guidance. I reload 40S&W for my Dad. He brought me 1K of Winchester small pistol magnum primers rather than non-magnum. He got a deal and I have a problem. He can't take them back and wants me to use them. I am using Sierra 155 Gr...

Think of It as An Investment Membership in the NRA is an investment in your 2nd Amendment right. I totally agree that you become a Life Member and then you donate as you can to help protect your rights and investment. I bought my son a life membership when he turned 18 as my dad bought mine...

I am trying to work up a reduced 32 H&R Mag load that would have approximately the same CUP as the 32 S&W Long. I basically don't won't to contend with two different setups; mag and long. I am not sure it I should use a fast burn or slow burn powder in this case. Has anyone using 85 gr...
