The problem here is the stainless steel. It will break at the first hard blow and potentially injure someone. Gil.

Hello. I got mine today, headed for the range fifteen minutes later... I had a bunch of loads ready for .45 Colt and .41 Magnum, so, handguns. It's small, very small, much smaller than I thought it would be from photos. The battery was more than half charged when I got it. I updated the firmware...

Yes, thanks, I did pay special attention to that, to no avail.. Gil.

GeoDudeFlorida I used to live in Sarasota! Gil.

Well guys, I took the El Patron to its third range session... First 25 rounds, no problems. Then, I experienced a lot of light primer strikes and failures to fire. I had no issues during the first two sessions, 100 rounds total, 0 failures. I wonder if it's that new hammer safety feature... I'll...

Thanks, corrected! Gil.

JmacD I thought I crimped them pretty well using the Lee Factory Crimp Die, but maybe not enough. Especially the 284gr SAA, I thought would be heavy enough to burn all the powder, but no... N340 it is for me, for now... I'll experiment with other powders later... Gil.

Hello. I tried my new Garmin Xero chrono today, and it didn't miss a single shot! Here are the results: .41 Magnum. Gun: Ruger Blackhawk. Barrel: 4-5/8" Primers: CCI300. Bullets: MP Mold 41 Hammer. Powders: Vihtavuori N340 & Vectan SP3 (eq IMR4227). CAUTION: Some of the following posts in this...

Hello. I tried my new Garmin Xero chrono today, and it didn't miss a single shot! Here are the results for .45 Colt: .45 Colt. Gun: Uberti El Patron. Barrel: 4-5/8" Primers: CCI300. Bullets: MP Mold 454-423 & RCBS 45-270-SAA. Powders: Vihtavuori N340 & N110. CAUTION: Some of the following posts...

Just curious, but how is the current production Blackhawk different from the old ones? Sure, the New Vaquero is a different gun than the old one, but the Blackhawk??? Gil.

I don't think so. The .44 will always have its place between smaller calibers and the mega-magnums. Not everyone wants to shoot a .454 Casull or .460 S&W, but a .44 Mag can be handled by most people with a bit of training. I shoot a .41 Mag, but will probably buy a .44 in the near future. I used...

One more..

So, I got the cylinder this morning. The finish is pretty worn out, contrary to the frame. I guess this revolver was carried a lot. It came with a well worn holster as well. Mechanically there are no issues I could find, which is mainly what I care about. I can see a reblueing in its future...

Thoses are great too. I already have a 4" 586 and wanted something smaller... Gil.

There are a bunch of his articles here: http://www.darkcanyon.net/skeeter_skelton.htm Gil.

Hello. The first package arrived today with the frame. Legally they must send it in two packages here, separated by 24hrs. Second package will arrive tomorrow. The grip is perfect for my big hands! The action/trigger is great. I'll have to try it with the cylinder of course. This morning I...

Hello. It used to be very complicated here but things have improved. There are four categories of guns here, A, B, C, D. A is prohibited, anything full auto, mortars, grenades, you name it... B requires a prior authorisation before buying and includes semi-autos and any modern handgun. You also...

Well, I'm single :) it sure helps! Next ones: Kimber Micro 9. Rossi R92 .357. Maybe a Lee Enfield #5 and S&W #29 4". Gil.

My finger clicked on the buy button all by itself, I am not responsible! Now looking for simple recipes involving ramen noodles, for the next three months... 1976 Colt detective special, .38 special. My mom told me I was special too :)

I have many favorites, but the Colt SAA takes the cake.
