I would have to disagree that a SP101 is too big for pocket carry. I'm a lanky fellow, it's hard to hide a cigarette on me, and I carry mine (A DAO 2.25" .357) daily in a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster, wearing relaxed fit blue jeans. It is visible sometimes that I have something in my pocket...
Shaky,
Frangible projectiles is certainly something I left out. I'm not a big fan of them myself, but what they are and how they work is certainly information that a new shooter should have. Thanks.
I'm doing an edit later tonight and will add that in, but in the meantime I have a few...
I wrote this with the intention that someone who has never handled a firearm before could read this and get a good overview of what is required to safely and effectively shoot a handgun. I tried to cover pretty much everything a total noob needs to know to fire their first magazine and hit the...
A Ruger old model Single Six with a XR3-RED grip frame came into my shop. the grip frame is broken and needs to be replaced, but for the life of me I cannot find a grip frame for the 'old model' revolvers.
If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated.
My father wrote this letter to the editor of the Hill City Times following his recent hunting excursion. It was published, but unfortunately the HCT doesn't have a website and I don't have a clipping to scan. Here is the text of the letter:
Letter to the Editors
Christmas Eve 2010
Dear...
Very nice, Pete.
We machined the barrels from a solid billet of steel (aside from the trunion, which is simply a cross-pin), so it really couldn't get much more simple.
Here are some better pics of my mortar:
Here's some videos from the tests.
It was a lot of fun. Made the mortar barrels on my lathe from cold-rolled steel. They are .35 caliber and here we are firing them with pyrodex. Had a little trouble working up a blank load with a good report using the pyrodex, but wrapping a little flour in...
Thanks, after a lot of research I went ahead and ordered a Crossbreed supertuck for him. It's not as fancy-looking as I would have liked, but everywhere I go people are saying it's the most comfortable IWB holster available. I figure it doesn't matter what it looks like if he'll actually wear it.
My father recently got himself a very nice custom-built Caspian 1911. It's a commander length model with an accessory rail. His birthday is coming up and I would like to get him a nice leather CC holster, but I'm having a hard time finding any that will fit the rail. Any suggestions?
I've never taken part in any cowboy action events, but I would like to check it out and possibly participate. I live in the Portland area and was just wondering if there are any Oregonians here who take part in the SASS shoots.
The only website I could find for SASS shooting was...
The only practical use I could see for it is hunting in areas or seasons that do not allow rifles but allow handguns. Other than that, it would be fun to shoot. With that said, I would rather have a 16" carbine with a full stock. It's probably my next purchase, in fact.
