I don’t remember seeing a topic like this in a while, so here goes. :D The idea is simple. Please name the handgun designs you really like, and explain why you like them, preferably in detail. Please DON’T bash other handguns. Please save the pissing contests and wee-wee-waving for...

... won't hassle me about shooting cast handloads. I've got about a metric ton of 10mm Auto handloads using cast 170gr SWC bullets, and the place I was shooting at (Bullet Trap in Plano) gets pissy about anything but FMJ. I need to find a place to shoot (indoor or outdoor) within reasonable...

Please vote on what features you think should be added to the custom project I'm having Ted Yost do for me once I get the frame from Caspian. This is an elaboration on an earlier poll, with alot of the old issues finalized (mostly in line with forum member suggestions), and some new ones added...

I have a project in the works with pistolsmith Ted Yost to make me a gun to commemorate the 10th anniversary of my graduation from West Point. Really, this is a pretext for having a nice, expensive gun made, but what the heck. :D Most of the gun's features are set in stone, however I've...

Which of the above choices would you like to see offered as a factory 10mm load? Since I came up with them, I think they are all good. :D That said, I'd like to see a 10mm self-defense load somewhere between the anemic "FBI Sissy" level and the "Full-on nuclear" stuff from Double Tap. I...

What do you think is the funniest movie moment involving a gun? My current pick is any time Jack Burton (Kurt Russell) tries to use a gun in "Big Trouble in Little China," to include making the Worlds Stupidest Face While Shooting a Gun. :D

A few months ago, Marty Cutrell at Yost-Bonitz Custom performed a super action job on my 1971 Colt Python (4" Royal Blue). It was a virtually NIB gun, and passed the revolver checkout with flying colors. But the trigger pull was pretty bad... something like 14 lbs double-action and 6 lbs...

Georgia Arms sells two of the most inexpensive 10mm practice loads available. These are: 180gr FMJ loaded to an advertised 1,100 ft/sec. The price for this ammo is $10/50, $19.50/100, and $190/1,000. 180gr LRN loaded to an advertised 950 ft/sec. The price for this ammo is $8.50/50...

I've got a 4" Colt Python, and I'm interested in a good self-defense load for it. I've tried the Remington Golden Saber 125gr, and while it was accurate and had cream-puff recoil, it had a BIG and very bright muzzle flash. Now, that's fun for scaring people at the range who are shooting...

http://www.classichandguns.com/50GIpage.html http://www.guncrafterindustries.com/ The .50 caliber 1911 is apparently no myth. :evil: Model 1 Specs: Proprietary Barstock Frame and Slide Original 1911 Size Match Grade Heavy Barrel Heavy Duty Stainless 7rd. Magazine Heinie...

Just for fun, this is your chance to describe a new revolver design that you'd like to see. It doesn't have to be plausible, or even wise, but just something you think would be neat to have. My nutty idea: Build a snubbie revolver design around the .45 GAP cartridge. This is probably not...

Just got it, a like-new Colt Python 4"er in shiny blue. :cool: I don't think the thing was ever even fired, I was sort of worried about the trigger but after a clean-up & a few dry fires it is already getting nice. Darn accurate, too. And for the purists out there, yes it's got the...

The title says it all... I've got a pristine blue Python that could really use some good trigger work to get it up to snuff. My understanding is that there aren't that my folks who are GOOD at Python action jobs, and so I'd be glad to hear any recommendations from y'all. Thanks!

This is, I hope, a slightly different than usual poll. Please vote on which attribute(s) of a handgun you believe aren't given enough consideration by shooters, or are wrongly derided as unimportant by self-appointed "experts." We can all agree that they are all "nice" to varying degrees...

What is the terrorist future? 9/11 had the biggest kill count of any single terrorist attack, and inaugurated the innovative technique of the hijacked-airliner-as-kamikaze. A lunatic fringe cult in Japan has already used a binary Sarin nerve gas bomb in a terrorist attack. Anthrax attacks...

First, I would please ask that folks don't troll in this thread and say nonsense like "just get a glocksighkberetta" or whatever. Thank you. Conversely, I'd also ask that slavish "JMB was God!" posts not be bothered with, either. That may be true, but rah-rah cheerleading isn't the point of...

See title (I hope this poll works this time...)

Admins: This is a duplicate, for some reason the poll option didn't work the 1st time. Please delete. :) Go here http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=45200 for the "real" topic.

Why should all the .45 ACP guys have the fun showing off? :evil: A Ted Yost "retro-rocket":
