    Do you like the 7.5" barrel?

    For my 460XVR, I've found a hot 45 Colt loaded in 460 cases with Unique that are great for plinking with this "crew served revolver". It makes it fun for plinking and learning the trigger let off. The 460 XVR is fun to shoot with full power ammunition, but on occasions. It is expensive. Lots...

    Tax Returns Gun Prices ++ Up

    No "sucker"at all. Think of the cash left in your account because you do niot have a mortgage to pay. I paid off my mortgage 20 years ago. It allowed me to pay of all my other debt and go racing sports cars.

    Colt revolver collectors are weird.

    Folks like when an antique car is restored to it's show room condition but they do pitch a fit when an antique firearm is "brought back from the dead". I have a restored Winchester 1873 (32-20), a Parker 28 ga VH side by side and IHC Garand and I'm pleased as punch to have them. They look good...

    I don't like snakes

    Most toilet paper made these days is white. But the paper strength designed in the paper varies on the use of the product. RV use versus septic tank use vs city sewer system has different paper strength specs. The specs have overlapping specs but the products are designed to optimize function...

    Do you like the 7.5" barrel?

    My 460XVR is an 8-3/8” barrel. S&W makes/made a 10” 460. I’m not sure what exactly they called it. Maybe it is also 460XVR.

    Do you like the 7.5" barrel?

    For a long time, I had no use for a long barreled revolver. I stumbled across an 8-3/8” S&W 25-5. Just what I needed for my 25-5 collection which includes a 4” and a 6” version. The 8-3/8” barrel is a hoot to shoot. Not convenient to carry though. I’ve added S&W 8-3/8" Models 29, 27, 460XVR...

    Model 1950, 45 ACP Target Revolver

    Wow, I did not it realize that the limited production of S&W 45 ACP target revolvers would be less than the K-32/Model 16-0 though -3 production runs. I have a Model 25-2 made in the 1979-1980 time frame and am happy with it. I gave up looking for a K-32 K-frame and bought a Manurhin MR32. I...

    24" Barrel in 44 Mag Lever Action?

    With a pistol cartridge carbine, I'm not sure geting different barrel length will give you much improved perormance. I have a 1960's vintage Marlin 69A (22LR) and an 1890 vintage Winchester 1873 (32-20) with a 24" barrels. Easy to shoot but the long barrel makes it a bit more difficult for...

    .22lr revolver - how challenging to keep clean?

    With todays non-corrosive primers and powders, cleaning is not as critical as in years past. That said, if I shoot a gun that won’t be shot again for a while, I clean it. I do not clean so much that you could eat off it, but I get the crud out and coat the chambers and barrel with oil. If...

    I don't like snakes

    Most gun model names don’t bother me. It is mostly a marketing ploy. I feel the Judge or Governor is a bit over the top though. I’m partial to the Colt Mustang. My avatar is a mustang we adopted from the government. My wife lets me have a brunette girlfriend and does not mind 😊 I do have a...

    Who scopes their .22s?

    I have a 22LR AR-16 with a red dot sight on it. Also, have an older Winchester 22 LR bolt rifle from the 1930s or 1940s, I don’t remember the model number at the moment, that has 4x rimfire scope on it. (edit, it is a Winchester 69). My Marlin 39A has had a scope on it but I’ve gone back to a...

    In general, what's the longevity of pistol brass?

    In my experience… With low pressure ammunition, 38 Special target, 45 ACP, 44 Special, 380 ACP, etc, cases last near forever. Magnum ammunition loaded to magnum levels, case life is shorter. How much, it depends. When I was using 357 Magnum in IHMSA handgun silhouette, I’d a lose few cases at...

    16ga ???

    I learned to shoot shotguns with my Dad's 28 ga side by side gun. I did well with it. Early on, the range officer allowed me to set up behind the trap house on the trap field to reduce the range needed for each ****,. At the time, early 1960s, 28 gauge was not a popular hunting round but...

    I shot my 624 and my first had loads of 38 special

    Looks good for the Model 624. I'm fond of my S&W Model 624's. Enjoy.

    Let’s see an odd item that you use in your reloading process.

    Here is a block I built for using the case holders for a Wilson trimmer/Sinclair trimmer stand. The right side is for seating the case in the case holder, the left side if for removing the case from the case holder. I use a pin that fits in the case mouth and knocks on the base iof the case to...

    Display your .38S&W & .32S&W Revolvers

    Yup. But competitively priced with a K-32 K-frame. Fit and finish is exquisite. Unfortunately, I think Beretta is not importing them at present.

    Good use for CFE 223 Powder

    I use CFE223 in my 204 Ruger ammunition with 39-40 grain bullets. Good prairie dog medicine. I found my 204 Ruger AR-15’s a bit over gassed. My 204 Ruger AR’s have fixed gassed blocks so I built heavier buffers for my rifles that take care of the over gassing. I have a 26” and a 24” heavy...

    Nickel plated brass question

    True. For a long time I resized 38 Special nickel plated cases just as brass cases without any issues. Generally, the loads were target, wadcutter ammunition. Lots of low pressure stuff. One of these days, I'll turn the rim off a number of 38 Special cases making a 38 AMU case and see how they...
