Howdy I don't get over here much, I spend most of my time on the Revolver section. But I want to pose a question to the experts here and see what advice they have. I bought this 9mm S&W 1911 Pro back in 2019. I liked it a lot but I did notice it had a habit of jamming fairly...

Testing to see if I can post images from ImageShack.

Howdy I don't get over here very much because I am mostly a revolver guy. Anyway, as a long time shooter of Ruger Mark II pistols I was excited when Ruger introduced the Mark IV a few years ago. Anyone who has ever field stripped one of the earlier Rugers knows what a pain in the neck it is. I...

Howdy The cartridge conversion cylinder for my Ruger Old Army showed up this week. I took it to the range this afternoon to try out with my Black Powder 45 Colt ammo. Shot about 25 rounds through it. Accuracy was terrific. This was the best group shot from a rest at 25 feet. But...

Howdy Can somebody tell me the name of the tapered shims that can be placed between the butt pad and the stock to slightly change the angle of the butt pad? I need to know the name so I can look it up at Midway. Thanks

My club was having its annual Christmas Party, Pot Luck, and Auction Monday night. There were several Black Powder guns going up for auction. A couple of Hawkens, a few single shot pistols, a couple of basket cases, But look what caught my eye. A stainless Ruger Old Army. We don't have...

Howdy I was in one of the larger shops in my area, looking for shotgun ammo for Trap. Yes, I found some, and the price was not too bad for these days, considering. When ever I am in a gun shop I like to pick up some 38 Special ammo, just to have some around. I can load my own 38 Special, but...

So, we have had threads recently about your favorite Ruger and your favorite Smith and Wesson. I am starting this thread about your favorite Colt. I don't have as many Colts as I do Smith and Wessons, but I do have several. But this one is my favorite by far. As a matter of fact it is my...

Howdy I spend most of my time on the revolver page, but I have a question about my S&W 1911 and this seems like a good place to ask it. I bought this 9mm S&W 1911 Pro a couple of years ago. A guy at the range had one and I liked it, so I bought one. Overall, I am quite pleased with it. I like...

Howdy I have wanted a Model 25 chambered for 45 Colt on and off for a number of years. The 45 Colt chambering seems to be hard to come by, more seem to have been chambered for 45 ACP. I already have a Model 1955 Target the predecessor to the Model 25, chambered for 45 ACP, but I had been...

Howdy I don't get over here very often. I bought my S&W 9mm 1911 Pro maybe two years ago. I like it a lot, but my thumbs kill me trying to stuff rounds into the magazines. I usually only stuff five rounds in because the magazine springs are so strong. I'm not really new to semi-auto pistols, I...

Howdy I don't get over here to the Auto Loader section very often. My club has recently built some action pits and we had an open house to introduce the members to them the other day. As a little bit of background I have been shooting steel targets in Cowboy Action for many years. We had a...

Howdy I have not had much chance to get to the range in the last few months, which has been frustrating since I had my cataract surgery on both eyes at the end of January and the beginning of February. Prior to that, I wore glasses with lenses as thick as the bottom of coke bottles, and could...

Howdy Thought I would start this one just for fun. Never been interested in having a Python. New or old. Never been interested in 41 Magnum. Never been interested in 40 S&W. Dunno why, just not interested. What are you not interested in?

Howdy I am starting this thread in answer to WestKentucky who asked me in a private message about some grips on one of my old S&W Top Breaks. For some reason, I cannot post photos in private messages, so I am starting a new thread to explain and show some photos. First off, S&W always calls...

Howdy I really should know better than to walk into a Cabelas. A couple of weeks ago I went to the local Cabelas to get some winter socks. Really. Then I made the mistake of wandering into the Gun Library. Lots of stuff that did not interest me. Then I saw an old Marlin lever rifle. It was...

So, first off, I am not a deer hunter. In fact, I am not a hunter at all. I just like old guns. So I had no practical reason at all to buy this old 30-30 Winchester Model 1894. But I couldn't take my eyes off it. In addition to the 26" octagon barrel it has the classic old style crescent butt...

Howdy So I know nothing about this. I recently bought a nice, slightly used CZ 455, 22 RF. I would like to use a bipod with it. It came with two sling swivels, one at the front and one at the butt. The swivels are spring loaded and easily removed, leaving the 'stud?' for want of a better...

Howdy Like Robert Duval said in Open Range, "Always liked me a sidearm with some heft". I have always liked the style of the 1875 Remington, with its triangular web under the barrel, but because the modern replicas would not pass a drop test here in MASS I have never been able to buy one...

Howdy I have been thinking of starting this post for a while, but have been putting it off because I did not want to intimidate anybody. But after yesterday's What is your Favorite Revolver post, I thought I would start this one anyway. Most of you probably already know that I like old...
