Nope, never seen that one. Never even heard of it. I did have an 8" MK III in electroless nickel chambered for .22 Magnum. Kind of a rare configuration but a stupid heavy gun in an expensive non-reloadable cartridge. I'm a shooter so I sold it to a collector.
Your piece looks legit to me. I...
I'll disagree. W231 (aka HP38) at #29 on the burn rate chart is a lot closer to Unique #32 than Bullseye #13. It may vary a little depending which chart you're looking at but the conclusion is the same. For some reason a lot of reloaders think of W231/HP38 as "fast" but it isn't really...
There's a reason it's been around so long. But Unique's popularity is in some respect might be due more to shot shell reloaders than pistol shooters. Also decades of use means decades of research and experience. Reloaders tend to be set in their ways.
It works well across a variety cartridges...
When the supply comes back you might try Universal. It and Power Pistol are right next to Unique on the Burn Rate Chart. It's been good for me in the .357, and fantastic for midrange loads in the .41 Magnum.
I find HP-38 the most accurate and it's very clean but you'll need something slower to get "true magnum" performance. Like 2400. But you can get a bigger bang. At maximum loads Unique will likely give the highest velocity. Few consider Unique "clean" but at maximum loads it's a lot cleaner than...
The slip of a screw driver when removing the cylinder to clean. Improper screwdriver. The lack of the aforementioned guide for your cleaning rod, ramming the end of the cleaning brush into the firing pin bushing. An overzealous desire for absolute cleanliness can lead to the imprudent use of...
That's a fair assumption.
The only concern I have, if you have a lack of shooting experience, is cleaning them. More guns are harmed when cleaning than by shooting them. Maybe you should buy a "beater" or more common model to start shooting with? Just a thought.
But I'm not a collector. I...
I put one on my 6" Model 66. Now I wish I put the target hammer on it too. I'll probably do that eventually. What I like about them is they help keep your finger in exact same position on the trigger all the time. It's hard to "over-reach" and is really noticeable when you "under-reach". And...
Askin' and gettin' are two different things. I looked for actual completed sales of 6" guns and there were a couple of 99% guns with original boxes and one without a box. All went for $900-$950.
27.2%.
Just kidding. There's no way to quantify it for you. I find a 6" noticeably easier to shoot vs. a 4". But an 8" vs a 6" has little difference as far as I can tell. To me the range makes no difference. The 6" is easier to shoot more accurately than the 4" at any range. If you actually...
I'm thinking not exactly a screaming deal but if I wanted one (which I do) I'd pay that without a second thought. I'd call it a fair price. I can tell you 10 years from now you'll be happy.
Hard for me to reconcile 95-98% with "SS can use a polishing". As long as you don't polish it to...
