I've always been a fan of 10mm and I found a slightly used S&W model 1076 that I just love. However the price of 10mm brass has skyrocketed, just like most everything ammo related has. So I'd like to find a comparable pistol in 40 S&W, which I can get lots of free brass for. For those not...

I was watching Shooting Gallery on the Outdoors Network last night, and it featured revolvers and was filmed at Gunsite. Near the beginning of the show they showed a few holsters, and one was an IWB Kydex holster. I thought they said it was made by Brian Hawkins but I searched the web and...

I was playing around with creating my own database for my firearms. So I was inputting a bunch of information about them, and then did some "reports" from the data. The figures are a bit skewed because of some guns are my wife's (or at least purchased for her), and then she gave me one for...

I picked up a older book about the Kennedy assasination. One claim in the book that I hadn't heard before was that the possibility that several rounds were fired from Oswald's rifle into water and the bullets were recovered. Those bullets were then loaded into 30-06 cases using sabots and...

Do you develop a load for each gun you own, or just one load for each caliber? Mostly I only do local defensive pistol competitions (IDPA etc.) and have developed a load each time I got a gun for a new caliber. Now that I've started acquiring a second (and third) gun of a caliber, I'm...

Does anyone know if Beretta magazines will work in the XD 45's? I know the 9mm ones do, but I'm thinking of getting a 45 and can't have the XD's 13 rounders (NY still has pre and post ban magazine limits).

I was in a book store this weekend and there was a guy with a plain grey T-shirt on that had "Security" printed on the back. The kind you see at concerts etc. He carried a pistol and a pair of cuffs on his belt, that was a heavy-duty but not a duty rig. From the front I don't believe there...

I assembled my first AR15 from an Olympic Arms stripped lower and a upper kit from Model 1.1 All went well, and all the controls function as they should. But I noticed that there is a slight "wobble" to it. If I put a little side pressue on the pistol grip, the whole receiver seems to twist...

A "friend" who is gettting to point where there's more skin than hair on top of his head is looking for a a hat to wear to the outdoor range and in local pistol competitions. I, I mean he isn't the baseball cap kind of guy, but has had a hard time finding a hat that will stay on without...

I bought a surplus M91 rifle a while ago, and had always wanted to put a scope on it. However, the only mounting hardware I could find for it required drilling and taping a few screws (making sure that they didn't go too deep and interfer with the bolt) and then bending or replacing the bolt...

I bought some 185gr FP plated bullets (from X-treme Bullets) and I'm trying to find a load for them using WSF. None of my manuals, nor the Hodgdon website (which the Winchester website has the loads for their powders) has any loads for 185gr FP bullets. I did find a load for 230gr FP...

In November I purchased a new M1 Tommygun from Auto Ordinance, now owned by Kahr. I immediately had two problems. First, when I openned the case, the form inside was torn in several places, and had several oily spots, and at least a couple of dark 'grease' stains. (I"m not sure it was...

Is it possible to safely and accurately shoot .38 super rounds in a .357 revolver, using moon clips? I have a S&W 627 revolver, and have had unsatisfactory results with the moon clips. They load alot harder than my other moon clips guns (646, 610 and 625), and don't go into the gun as easy...

I have a Dillon Square Deal- B and load a variety of calibers on it. I usually use Accurate #9, WSF, and HS-6, and have had pretty good results. I have loaded hundreds in a session without problems, and the loads have been accurate (within plus or minus 1/10 grain) I started loading for...

(among others) I have a S&W 646 and a Taurus 905, and I'm trying to find a good source of moonclips for both on them. For the 646, it's trying to find affordable ones that's the issue. Brownells, as well as TKcustom carry them, but they want around $4 a piece for them (why are the clips for...

My Lyman LE1000 scale had been screwing up (changing readings for the same weight) so I sent it back to Lyman for an analysis. I knew up front that the scale wasn't under warranty, since it is at least a couple of years old. I just got a letter back from Lyman, saying that the scale isn't...

I have an uncle who has been tinkering in woodworking for a number of years. He's always after me to come up with some "project" for him to make for me. He knows I'm interesting into guns and shooting so he'd like whatever it is to be related. (I guess he thinks I'd appreciate it more, and...

I got a pack of Pachmayr baseplates to install on my 1911 magazines. I thought I knew how to disassemble the mags to get the baseplate off, so I could drill them, but obviously I don't since I can't get them off. So how are they disassembled? Also, the baseplates came with self-taping...

I have a Lyman LE1000 electronic scale and while it's been fine for a couple of years (at least) I've started having problems with it. If I weigh a pan load of powder, then pick up the pan and set it back down of the scale, the weight may change by a few 10ths of grain. If I weight a pan...

I competed in a shotgun match this weekend (which was waaaay cool) and now see a need for a better way to carry shotshells to speed up reloading. I was using a regular shotshell belt, which has been okay, but with all the extra clothing because of the cold weather, I couldn't really even see...
