Talk to your doctor. You may get sent to a neurologist.
I got diagnosed with essential tremors a few months ago. I've had it about two years but it had to progress enough before it could be diagnosed. I take a low dose of propranolol. No noticeable side affects for me. It primarily reduces...
Colt serial numbers?!
I'm confused but it sounds like Colt Manufacturing is even more confused.
I bought a Trooper Sunday. The guy that sold it said it was manufactured in 1959. Proofhouse.com said it was manufactured in 1960 I think (I assume the serial number paired up with a year is the...
At 509 pounds empty how much do you think it will weigh when you stash your guns, ammo, gun cases, cleaning equipment and supplies, etc. ?
Of course you never know who might bring over 4 or 5 of his closest friends and a dolly from U-Haul while you're on vacation. :D
Congratulations on getting...
I went back to MidwayUSA and looked for the NYPD round. I had been looking under CCI but when I looked under Speer there they are...sort of. They're out of stock until 10/31. :(
IMHO, I don't think it matters which is more accurate. The shooter is the weak link when it comes to handguns.
If you were talking rifles (bolt action vs. semi-automatic) it would be another story.
gunsablazin recommended the NYPD load I've been looking for and Loosedhorse mentioned the FBI load I've been looking for. I guess I've just been looking in the wrong places. No body near me (and not so near me) carry them.
Sorry, I should have stated 4" barrel.
If you guys order these on...
Should a post about ammo go in the Firearm Accessories forum? :D
I've read in one of Massad Ayoob's books about the FBI load and the NYPD load. I can't find them in the stores.
I've also seen reference to a CCI Blazer cartridge that is ballistically very similar to the FBI load so one can use...
"You are a Colt man now, and a cut above the rest." I'll try not to act stuck up. :D
I'm pretty certain these are original service grips.
Now I need some home/personal defense ammo.
This afternoon I bought a 1959 Colt Trooper, .38 Special, 4" barrel, and adjustable rear sight. Sweeeeeeet!
I shot a few rounds through it and fell in love with it.
A couple guys at work kept telling me to get a really small gun. I took this bad boy and put it in a front pocket of my...
I got it. I shot it. It's so sweeeeeeeet! :)
I got a box of American Eagle 130 grain FMJs to check out the gun. Tomorrow I'll get something more suitable for protection/defense.
This is the second handgun I've ever bought. I'm amazed.
I thought I'd have to change out the sharply checkered...
I'd like to see your opinions/comments on a 1959 Colt Trooper, 4" barrel, .38 special.
What should I expect to pay for one in good shape?
I'm fairly new to handguns and know nothing about Colts.
Thanks.
I'm not willing to go with an Airweight. I want a steel gun. No strong preference for blued or stainless. Either is fine.
At the moment (and this could change any time) I see myself carrying IWB instead of pocket.
If I was sure I could conceal it I'd really prefer to carry a revolver with a...
