*I was going to post this in the other thread, but as the post got longer and more detailed I thought it deserved its own thread. I received my Henry Big Boy Revolver Birdshead model today. Here are the basics; The DA trigger is heavy, but not gritty. It feels like an average amount of travel...

I came across this high polished stainless steel Ruger Vaquero Birdshead in 45 Colt on gunbroker. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1030548906 The price seems outlandish: $2348.00 as of this posting with 39 bids and 5 days left on the auction. I thought it must be special somehow so I read the...

So this is kind of an odd thing, but I competed in a competition a few months ago that involved hitting, and knocking off steel paddles off of various targets, some were kind of like a Texas star. You could use any handgun set up of any caliber you wanted but there were over twenty targets to...

What do you think the odds are that such a thing will ever exist? I gave my dad his first semi auto handgun that wasn't an ancient italian POS 25 auto with a broken guide rod. I gave him an xdm elite compact 9mm with a red dot (Christmas gift). He loves the thing and I thought about giving him a...

Hey guys, I recently had a barrel for my FN FNX Tactical 45 converted to 460 Rowland. I liked the idea of woods carry with some heavier solids and decided to try the 250 grain extreme penetrators from Lehigh. I loaded some up with blue dot which ended up being a compressed charge at the max...

I walked into one of my favorite gun shops today with nothing particular in mind but intending to go home with something (ended up with a Kimber K6s target and love it) I saw a new Colt King Cobra 3" and new King Cobra carry in the case and asked to look at them. I looked at a King Cobra...

Well I like S&W N frames. I own several. I like going to the range with them, one is my primary woods carry (629 classic 5"), others are range toys or on occasion hunting revolvers. I just Bought a new to me Model 25-3 45 colt anniversary edition off gunbroker. It looked nice in the pictures...

what would you pick in my situation? As you might have inferred from the title, the other thread on BBQ guns has really got my wheels turning and I have decided to pursue one. I want something unusual and special. I am willing to spend some cash on it, I am thinking floral style engraving with...

One the size of a glock 19 or smaller. So, does a reliable one exist? A few years ago I was looking at a compact EAA witness that seemed to fit that bill but read to many reports all agreeing that it was unreliable. I kind of left it on the back burner for a while, but recently started carrying...

I want an ar15 barrel chambered in a .338 cal cartridge formed from 223/556 brass. not interested in anything else, just that. I am hoping someone has some ideas here, I need some help finding a custom AR15 barrel maker willing to make one for me. I tried SSK who made the 338 whisper #2, they...

If a person wants to buy a firearm from an FFL dealer but lives far enough away that it's a significant investment of time and gas to go to the dealers location, does that person have to be present for the NICS check to be run? This person says they are always delayed, and doesn't want to drive...

If any of you peruse the reloading section I had a thread up about center pieces at my wedding. She didn't leave me at the alter, and we are six months into our wedded bliss and I just thought I would follow up with it and show you the results!(of the center pieces) I used and tested a variety...

Pretty self explanatory, what's your favorite pistol scope option? Magnified or otherwise what do you think offers the best bang for your buck? Their aren't nearly the large number of options out there that there are for rifle scopes, and I haven't found any super high end pistol scopes from...

I went shooting with a good friend of mine today and had a great time. Both of us bought Savage 338 Lapua target rifles, it just so happens they are 2 serial numbers apart. We were thinking we could do load development together and got a pound of Retumbo and H1000 reloading powders and Federal...

Hey guys I am curious if any of y'all know any reason why I shouldn't use a 460 S&W shellplate or a 50AE shell plate for loading 44 mag, 445 supermag, 45 colt, or 454 casull? Specifically the Dillon 650 shellplates....they are pricey and I already have the 50AE and 460 S&W shellplates. Seems...

Yesterday i drove up to Showlow AZ to see my lovely fiance' and take advantage of her 25% off deal she got as an incentive at Walmart for working Thanksgiving weekend. We bought new tires for my truck and camaro, all our christmas gifts, decor for our wedding as well as some of the groomsman...

So i am getting remarried in a few months and she's a dandy gal. She loves the outdoors, shooting, scuba diving...and is a real sweetheart. To the point; she wants a firearms themed wedding reception. The center pieces on the tables are going to be flower arrangements, with fired bullets being...

So I have 70 something firearms, non of which is a plastic framed handgun, never had much love for them. I am considering broadening my horizons, and want to try one out, moneys not really an issue. I have always been a revolver man, but I love 1911's they fit my hand with the alexander mag...

I just had a particularly bad run of 100 9mm I tried to load. Of the 100 casings fed into the press, 14 had pull back. No particular rhyme or reason, various head stamps...drives me crazy. Here are the culprits; And the subsequent missed primers on the 650:cuss:; Any one else ever have a run...

It's been a while since I sold my Hornady Lock N' Load press and all the goodies I had with it in favor of trying out a Dillon 650. A couple people wanted me to write an update with my opinions on it, but I really wanted to get to know the press before I made any comments on its operation. So...
