You might want to give us a try. Reduced Recoil polymer-coated 125gn 9mm - it's smooth shooting and accurate. www.cavalryammunition.com. We make lots of 'regular' 9mm service loads too. Thanks.
586 and GP-100 sure are contenders. How about the Uberti Cattleman? They're pretty affordable and seem to run really well. If you want to open you wallet a bit wider
, the Colt King Cobra sure is good too.
I shoot a lot of Uberti conversion guns, and weak springs are usually the culprit.
Defender ammo probably uses either WW, CCI or Federal primers, just like the 'big guys' do, and the brass case being shot once or twice has very little to do at all with primer function - it has a lot to do with...
When I was a kid in 1980, my first revolver was a 8 3/8" Model 25. I've shot many 1000's or rounds through it and it's excellent. Been to the gunsmith twice for tune ups, it's still going strong, and looks as good as the day I bought it. Life is short. Enjoy your wise investment.
If you like shooting these guns, check out Cavalryammunition.com. We have ammo optimized for short-barreled revolvers to cut down on muzzle flash, using powders that are efficient in short barrels - using the King Cobra as our test gun. It's excellent - great trigger and plenty accurate.
For me, I'd choose the Charter over a Taurus. You can't go wrong with .44 Spl or .45 Colt as defense/night stand guns. Perfect calibers, easy to shoot, no controls to fumble with in high-stress situations. I own a lot of 'hi-speed' guns and this is the sort of gun I keep handy for '2AM Social...
I would think that a pro gunsmith would be able to weld that okay. After all, there's Garand receivers that have been welded back together that run okay - as long as the alignment was right. Not that I'd own or shoot one, but just saying it's possible.
If you're gonna go .308 or any of the higher-pressure short actions, might as well buy a modern rifle. But that's kind of getting away from the fun of it. I have a sporterized 1895 Chilean in 7x57 which is very nice, if you don't mind cock-on-closing.,
For your project, 257 Bob and 6.5x55...
If I really wanted to save that rifle, I'd get a smith to weld them over, and grind the top of the receiver smooth, then blue. Then put a proper sight on it. I like aperture sights too.
Using Berry's plated 220's and 9.5 to 10gn of H-110, these cartridges seem to work fine in published data. For me, they don't function reliably - bolt fails to come back all the way and cycle.
I don't have a suppressor on my test gun, the tests were run with one. Does the can make a...
For me, a T/C Contender with a 16.5" (Barely Legal!) barrel and shoulder stock, in .35 Remington with a lightweight scope. Hunting in the Maine woods, it's light and handy to carry around all afternoon, or maneuver in a tree stand.
And, if you need some .35 Rem ammo, we have it at...
