    Revolver Cylinder Wear

    It's lead deposits. Apply some hoppies and let it sit, it takes most of it off. Don't scrub with a bristle brush, you'll damage the bluing. Other than that, it's nothing to worry about.

    Convertibles

    Oh, kind of going off subject a bit, but I do have a revolver which is a bit peculiar, it's a Smith model 25-5. The barrels are rifled to modern specs at .451, but the cylinder is cut for the older .454 sizing. The throats are .457. If I don't size the boolits, they shoot just fine, if I size...

    Convertibles

    Interesting, my revolvers all slug .357 or .358 Most of my 9mm's slug .356, except my Beretta 92fs, which slugs .358, and a Star Modelo B, which slugs .359. All shoot just fine, I think the bullet obturates out to fill the gap. I also have a Ruger single six convertible, which I have read is...

    .22 Target Pistol Barrel Length

    22LR is a versatile round intended to be shot from both pistols and rifles. 22 LR powder is perhaps a bit slower than a round intended to used in pistols exclusively, the slower burning rate improving bullet velocity in a rifle length barrel. Consequently, velocity will suffer a bit as barrels...

    will a centerfire semi auto handgun fire out of battery?

    As previous members have posted, this is kind of an open question, with each make and model of semi auto having it's own characteristics. In my experience with 30+ autoloaders in the collection, I can't say I have ever had one fire out of battery. I shoot lead boolits almost exclusively, so...

    does anybody in east texas have a threaded beretta 92 I could try?

    Hello, I might suggest something that worked well for me, I shoot a lot of lead 9mm's that are low powered by jacketed standards, 3.2 grains of powder under a 120 grainer. It gives about 980 fps, very accurate. However, my Beretta would short stroke occasionally if fired them in colder...

    My saddest moment is an understatement

    Hello all, A couple of years ago, when the world still existed, my son and I were at the gun show, and lo and behold, a pristine, if not ever fired S&W model 17 for around $700, with box. I had already spent my limit and passed, only to come back on Sunday to right my wrongs. After waiting...

    Glock gen 4. Question about finish.

    I believe the Tennifer nitriding is below the finish, and is the real protection.

    Remington 870 problem

    If you're going to fix it on your own, the timing on an 870 holds the upcoming round in the magazine until the bolt is all the way to the rear, then it releases it. It snaps into position on the lifter (the 1100 and 11-87 work the same way). When you move the slide forward, a small catch on...

    Let’s talk about the lipsey’s gp100 5 inch .357

    Really dumb question here, can you shoot S&W 40's out of a 10mm?

    Shot my first Dot Torture drill (SIG P230)

    Looks like fun, I think my boy will enjoy it as an alternative to shooting steel every time we go to the pistol ranges. Thanks for posting.
