I hit a home run buying 8 lbs of Titegroup.. Its a very decent powder as long as you understand that its basically a target shooting powder. I have been trying to work off this 8 lbs for a couple of year now. the only downside that I have is when you are loading for lighter loads it tends to...

I have had both and like them for what they are. The recoil on the Redhawk is more manageable to me because the gun rolls in your hand instead of pushing like a Smith and Wesson.

This mindset and attitude will bring on an ND.

I wouldn't hesitate to shoot 357s in my model 66, just not a full house diet of them. I reload for it and stay off the heavy stuff being mindful of the forcing cone.

I have a model 66 and let me tell you it is the sweetest shooting revolver in my bunch by a long shot. Buy the gun.

I knew a foolish man who once who placed a fully loaded 9mm with the hammer back into the factory case. Some months later he removed the pistol from the case and wondered "why is the hammer back?" He pulls the trigger and a 9mm ball went through his palm missing the bones, through the pillow...

You are a humble man to express this kind of unfortunate mishap online to the rest of the world. Some good will come of it.

I haven't gone through all of the replies for this thread because of limited amount of time. Your loss of accuracy might be because of how you shoot vs using a red dot. If you are a good shooter then you are focusing on the front sight. Now that you are shooting with a red dot chances are that...

An apology is in order, I have the 66-1 Smith and Wesson. It might be the pachmeyer grips. The gun feels heavy for its size. The Ruger Speed Six's trigger has a less refined feel, more of a rugged feel, its functional. The Ruger is a utilitarian piece and sort of a truck gun. I recently acquired...

Glad to see that all is well that ends well.

"Really, which organization does not matter" I will never give the time of day to the NRA.

"The only one I can think of that comes close is (was?) at APG with Dr. Atwater." That museum has been shut down in APG and most if not all of the small arms are kept at Fort Lee, Virginia.

I have both the Ruger Speed Six and the Smith and Wesson Model 66-1. Both pretty good firearms to have around. To compare the both of them the Ruger is likened to the Ford model T as very functional and durable but handles like bare bones with no frills. The trigger is nothing to speak of to...

I see the shooting pace picking up a bit.

If you are repeatedly re chambering ammunition an extended amount of tine it can scar, ding and at times set the bullet back.You are right on keeping an eye on your edc ammunition. Some never even give it a thought and can wind up carrying that same ammo with the same magazine for years. It pays...
