Largest revolver carried, 5" N-frame M-27. Largest revolver carried comfortably IWB (a relative term), 4" N-frame (M-25, M-58, .38/44HD, etc.) Hoffner's Miurage--strange name, really neat Kydex holster. It rides high--the cylinder is above the belt. I first bought one for the N-frame, and liked...

As a Lifetime Member of the NRA, I may have to concede that I backed the wrong horse. The NRA has, and has had, some serious problems for a number of years. Although I vote in their elections, I'm not sure that is working for me.... Where do we go from here? I am always open to suggestions. I am...

My dad let me shoot (very occasionally) his .22 bolt action rifle and (even more occasionally) his WWII .45 acp 1911. This would have been age 8-11 or so. Probably shot each fewer than 12 rounds total, and he departed the family unit before I was 12. That was enough to get me started...

Been a while since I've been to a gun show. Probably pre-COVID. Guess I need to go back and try again--it was always a pleasurable way to spend 2-3 hours. I always compared it to going to a movie--pay $10 to see some garbage, or pay $10 to be among like-minded people for a few hours, and...

Lots of good stuff out there. For my part, I like (and use) Eezox, Kroil, Lucas, Gibbs, CorrosionX, BoeShield, MiliTech and several others. For day-to-day cleaning and short-term protection on frequently-fired guns, I use Ed's Red. I use the other products for longer-term protection (guns that...

Not for me. I'm pretty partial to my one .44 Spl Taurus. But to be honest, I'm a bit more partial to my .45LC S&W revolvers....

"It does not take much thinking to understand why. What violent criminal actor in his right mind would choose to engage in a dangerous, and potentially fatal, sortee by himself if he had the choice of having one or more partners to help choose a victim, to keep an eye out for threats, to help...

I bought the blued version close to 20 years ago (used). Also a 3" .44 Spl. Only Taurus I have ever owned, and I like it well enough that it's not going anywhere. I think I paid about $260 for it back then, but I'm not sure I'd sell it for less than $500 of today's de-valued dollars, so $650...

She should be really happy that this is the only porn you look at. My primary fascination is motorcycles, and has been all my life. I tell my friends that my wife will not allow me to have multiple women, but she is happy to allow me multiple motorcycles (love her). Currently six bikes...

We just got one a year ago in North Texas. I've been two or three times. Pretty good selection of powders and primers, and the occasional sale where the price is better than average. Think I paid $59 for Win LPP (limit one box) a while back, and almost bought Win SRP for $69 (limit one box)...

I ordered 6000 yesterday, after staring at the primers on their website for about a week. Looking forward to receiving them and trying them out.

Thank you for this discussion--very interesting. And good to hear from professionals, instead of people speculating.

I have owned and reloaded for .38Spl and .357 Mag for a number of years. Bought a .38/44 last Fall, and have been learning about it and loading for it ever since. I am very careful to label the few boxes of ammo as ".38/44 ONLY" to ensure I do not load these in something that may not be strong...

I have owned one 450 and three 550s. Currently just the one 550. Ten plus years old and going strong. Any time I have contacted Dillon, they have been great. I just bought a .32 S&W and bought a caliber conversion...$75. The fact that the USD is not worth what it once was is not Dillon's...

I don't have the experience of some here, but I have used W296 for a while in .357M, .41M, and .300BLK. Seems to work well, but seemingly very little room for adjustment...maybe a grain or so. Go big or go home loads. Although I have owned a couple pounds of 2400 for quite some time, I never...

My most recent MBC purchase--just getting started in .32 cal, I ordered four boxes for a friend and myself. Took about two weeks to arrive; I can imagine .32 might not be a fast mover, much like .41 Mag. I have ordered from MBC many times, for a variety of bullets, and have always been...

Nice Kimber; I have one of those. Wife has one too. Mine Ultra Carry II, hers Ultra CDP II.

I have probably owned over 100 handguns in my lifetime. I have also owned exactly 100 motorcycles (and always on the lookout for the next one). Motorcycles take up a lot more space, have higher entry fees, and higher recurring costs (registration, insurance, depreciation, maintenance) so having...

Good topic, and timely. For a number of years, I had a "magic number" of guns which I would hold myself to (safe space), and a self-imposed policy of "Want to buy one? Gotta sell one." In the last few years I have sold a few and bought very little, so I have some room in the safe...and I have...

I bought a 70+ year old S&W .38/44 Heavy Duty six months ago. After doing some maintenance and replacing a few parts, and working up some loads, I have carried it from time to time. And expect to continue to do so. It's just another N-frame, and I have carried and trusted a number of N-frames...
