I experimented with this.in the 70s. When they worked that worked well. However maybe 50% of the time part of the hollow base would shear off and they would tumble limiting penetration. I still carry factory loaded HBWCS in a j frame. Why? 1. The bullet is already in an efficient shape. A...

Bargain price for the 67.

Okay but you'd have to give the success of the plethora of 1911s out there to John Browning.

1. I won't carry a single action. Yes. there are those that can shoot them as fast as a DA. I'm not one of them. Statically, your fight should be over in 5 or 6 rounds. But if you need a reload you're screwed. 2. A 41 or 44 magnum. I'm often in very congested areas. The over penetration...

Get the 3". As far accuracy it becomes magic in a 3:.

You were lucky. I fired a.8mm Mauser with corrosive ammo and let it sit until the next day. I spent the day punching out red rust from the bore. Fortunately no permanent damage.

Yes!!! A clean gun has gotten a lot of people put of trobule.

Okay if you're okay with that "reliability,"

Depends on what you're using it for. I was a LE firearms instructor and I've seen guns so dirty they couldn't get through a magazine without malfunction. Moreso in the cold.

Not amazing. First, take a look at inflation. Second, take a look at population Lots of more people wanting these guns. Supply and demand. Finite numbers of these firearms out there.

I've no experience with the Ruger. I have a 21A that I sometimes carry in a low threat environment. I carry it hammer down safety off. Reliability? I use CCI Mini Mag solids. You are going to need penetration with a small caliber gun. I take it to the range once a year and fire Mini Mags...

I never cast bullets. However I've found the 200gr H&G bullet which became my standard 45 ACP bullet. Over 6.0 grs of Unique (well under max) it gives me 900 fps. A good all around 45 load.

I'm not a hunter but do have 2 favorite 30-06s. First is my VAR barreled Garand. Shoots under 3" @ 100 with any M2 ball. Second is my sporterized 1903A3.right. Got it cheap as the original barrel was cut and receiver was drilled for scope mount. No resurrecting this to an original. Whoever...

I started using Dri-Slide in Vietnam in 1968. Still the best lube for AR internals.

Another vote for Mobtil 1 grease. Unlike petroleum based greases it doesn't harden. I have Garands I've greased up and put away years ago and the grease is still as soft as when I applied it.

Whilst I prefer a 125 gr Jhp as a SD load if I was forced into using one bullet in a 357 it would be a 158 gr swc.

Maybe not in common usage but it was being used by gun scribes in 1980.

I have a 1980 Guns and Ammo publication titled "Guide to Assault Weapons". Prior to the late 70s early 80s, if you wanted a semiautomatic rifle that fired 5.56 you had your choice between an AR or a Mini 14. About 1980 there became a huge choice of semiautomatic rifles styled after military...
