In Myrtle Beach, SC. A new bar just opened and they are offering discounts on alcoholic drinks to customers carrying a firearm!!!! Even advertising this on TV, offering a discount in a bar? Have we gone that nuts!? Needless to say I wont be getting within 5 miles of this place! The...

Have used Red Dot since 1972. Cant get any around here any where! (First time in 40 yrs I couldn't get Red Dot) Tough because I use Red Dot in my 9mm, .38 Spl and 45ACP loads. I have a Little Dandy powder dispenser that I use for standard pistol rounds and had the right inserts to throw...

Went to the range today and the guy next to me was shooting a 454 Casull Super Redhawk. I was shooting 45 ACP and 45 Colt. It was a beautiful day for shooting and while taking a break we discussed the 454, Nice looking piece! During the next break he asked if I would like to put six through...

Been reloading for more years than I care to admit. About 5 years ago my usual supplier quit the business, Not sure what to do, I looked on the net and selected 4 potential suppliers and placed orders with all of them. Got them all OK and quality was very similar from all 4 suppliers. As I...

Purchased the Ruger in 2013, Just liked the feel of it when I first picked it up, I'm not a big guy amd hands are on the smaller side., but pretty much only shoot larger handgun calibers. First trip to the range was a real experience and I was stunned with the accuracy.. With the 45 ACP, it...

Well, finally after almost 40 years, I had my first FTF. It was a.357 mag and instead of a “boom” I got a “click”. After I finished the cylinder, I checked the primer and the pin indent was normal and the primer was seated to the normal depth. I retried it and it went off normally. I guess I...

Haven’t purchased any .22LR since the shortages after Sandy Hook. It was difficult to find and rarely saw any on the shelves in the LGS or Walmart, the hoarders were hogging it all up. Plus the prices were stupid I was kept well supplied with reloading components by my LGS and was able to...

When I was young and foolish I purchased a Davies .380. Despite everything I could do, it used to smokestack almost one round per magazine! I used only factory ammo. After not being able to get it to function correctly I put it in the gun safe and there it has resided for since the mid 1980s...

Over the last 40 years have loaded thousands of rounds in a lot of different calibers and never had a problem. While loading some 38 SP a few weeks ago, I checked the thrown charge weight as I normally do, everything looked good. Once I am happy with the dispenser settings, I check about...

Found this yesterday for a $100 from a private seller. It’s a 1965 Colt Detective Special, Series 2 from 1965. 38 Sp caliber. It’s got some carrying wear to the bluing but its condition over all is pretty darn good for its age. Mechanically its top notch and the timing is smack on. The...

Had a fantastic day today! Got a new neighbor and six months ago he saw me cleaning some firearms in my garage. He made the comment he had always wanted to shoot and had never found the time or anyone to get help get him started. Fast Forward. We were talking last week and I asked if he...

In a good many of the high profile shooting that have occurred over the past few years, someone has usually stated “The person had 1000s of rounds of ammunition and a vast collection of guns”. (Usually said in very negative tones and usually by a Police Chief or hot shot news reporter with no...

Went to the Fort Wayne Gun and Knife show at the Coliseum yesterday. Parking and admission fee came to $11.00 I should point out that I used to attend pretty near all the Gun Shows around Fort Wayne and hadn't been to one for several years due to the crazy prices. I guess I was hoping sanity had...

Hi all, any one else had issues with Friendswood Bullets out of Texas? I have bought from them several times in the past and the quality is good but their delivery and customer service sucks big time. They charge your credit card immediately the order is placed. I wouldn't mind that so much if...

I purchased my Smith and Wesson model 19 in the mid 70s, it was one of the best buys I ever made. Whether loaded with full house magnums or hot 38 Spls it handles really nice. This one has been totally reliable and very accurate. This afternoons loading was 38Sp +P using Red Dot under a cast...

Hi Guys, Just acquired a Gahendra Matini/Henry, its a real golden oldie, It needs a little work and has a week striker spring. Does anyone know a source for a diagram and also a source for parts. I can probably make or adapt a spring but would rather take the easier way out and...

Went to an auction today, it was just a general auction and I was surprised to see a small 5 shot pistol. Luckily I had my I phone and was able to get on line and check it out. I bid up to $80 and it was mine. It was a a HARD PAN in 32 rim fire made by Hood Manufacturing of New York...

Hoarding is getting to me! I have always been an avid shooter and I visit the range twice a week. I use quite a lot of ammo in various calibers and that’s fine, however, my wife, loves to target shoot but suffers from some physical disabilities. She shoots .22 as that is all she can handle...

Been reloading my 30/30 for over 20 years and reloading supplies are getting low. I went looking for the Hornady 3035 that I have always used, and cant find them listed anywhere. Got about 50 left and a 100 170G, Any one got an alternate that would make a good replacement for the 3035? I...

Been shooting smoke poles and revolvers for a long time and usually take a look at any I see going at a fair price. At the gun show this weekend I saw an 1860 Army Colt. It looked to be in really nice condition and from what I could tell it hadnt had but a handful of rouind through it. It...
