    Problem with my SP101 357 MAG.

    I was about to ask about the forcing cone, too. It sounds like the metal is expanding as it heats up, rubs, or blocks the closure. After you fiddle with it for a while, it cools off and the metal contracts enough to use it again. Had that happen with a revolver once, and thought it was due to...

    best kept secret of revolver world

    Dangit... I've got so many things I should do, but now I'm gonna have to go reload some ammo. Good thing there's no woman and the dog doesn't mind.

    Ok, it's a little silly, but..... Zombie holster!

    Looks like a cool product. If you get the right marketing going, your turnaround time should be more than 2 weeks. It's not my style, but if I had disposable income, I'd get it for October. Good job. Keep hoping that "Walking Dead" continues to enthrall the audience.

    Thinking of removing your side-plate? Don't!

    Springs give you religious moments... have them in rooms without clutter. Springs hide after they escape. A "religious moment" is where you cry out "JESUS!" or worse.

    duracoat a revolver

    The mostly purple revolver looks like crap, but if the perp is still alive, you can always say, "You just got owned by a purple gun." If there's some way to pass that on to his or her prison buddies, more the better. Then again, I worked at a gun shop, and always told the women, if you want to...

    In all Fairness......... (Taurus)

    I've had the pin in the front sight become loose, too, but have noticed it before losing the ramp. I am thinking of putting some loctite or another threadlock on it now. Thanks for the heads up.

    New (to me) SW 640

    Thanks for the advice. Yes, it's the .357 flavor. Nice grips! What brand of speed strips do you use?

    What casings for revolvers? Brass? Aluminum? Steel?

    I have not found any noticeable difference between brass. I reload .44 mag and have had a lot of my brass for forever. If it looks less than trustworthy, I toss it, or make it into .44 sp. Congratulations on getting into reloading. You'll find it meditative.

    New (to me) SW 640

    I've been looking to get a smaller firearm for CCW. The 92FS and the .44 mag are a bit obvious whenever the temp is above 55 degrees. ;) Found a very lightly used SW 640 at a local pawn shop. You can barely see the score around the cylinder, it's been fired that little. It wasn't an amazing...

    44ss4

    I started my .44 love with a black powder pistol, then a Marlin .44 mag lever rifle. I got the revolver just to round out the set. I think it'll become a new favorite of yours!

    oh boy oh boy oh boy

    Taurus coats everything in Cosmoline or however you spell it. Be sure to clean it thoroughly, including taking the side plate off and cleaning everything in there, too. Then lubricate with your favorite gun oil. If you haven't done it before, there are good videos on youtube for removing the...

    44ss4

    I reload 240 gr Berry's Plated HP with Win296. Shoots well, and is consistent. I've held the Tracker, but don't like the "ribber" grip nor the smaller frame. Then again, I don't backpack or need to keep in mind every ounce of weight I'll be carrying.

    Advice needed on Beretta 92 purchase

    I bought my new, Italian-made model for $550 before taxes at a gun show, here in NC. That was 2+ years ago, and was quite a bargain. Everyone's region differs, and you'll have to scour the area to get a feel for prices in your area. The Italian model comes in a silver box, includes a cleaning...

    44ss4

    I like mine a lot, and enjoy how comfortable it is to shoot. The trigger has smoothed out a lot after 1200+ rounds, and it's very accurate.

    Which Beretta 92?

    There is no best. You just keep buying until you've collected them all, but everyone who said, "Find the one that fits your hand," are correct.

    cleanest 9mm powder?

    I switched from Power Pistol because I was getting scorched brass and a huge flash. I have been using Ramshot Silhouette since. Overall, I'm happy with this one. Good luck in your search.

    queston for the police about civilian carry

    I haven't read every post, but in NC, you have to inform when you are addressed by a police officer. Most days, my bank has an officer at the door, and just his or her saying, "Hello," means I must inform them. If I'm not the only one walking in at the time, then someone nearby can overhear that...

    Opinions - concealed carry for small female

    These aren't cheap, but they're a cool concept: http://www.511tactical.com/All-Products/Shirts/Undergear-Shirts/Holster-Shirt.html Basically, a tshirt with pockets under your arms on both sides. One side for your CCW and the other for your MP3 player.
