Or I guess more specifically, reloading for one. I am looking at the new 9mm LCR, but for me it would likely just be a range gun. This got me wondering, would it be bad for the gun to load up some wadcutter bullets for a .38 in a 9mm casing and fire them? I know there is a diameter difference...

I ask this in all seriousness. I am not trying to demean the effectiveness of the .45 Auto cartridge - I do believe that it is one of the more effective pistol rounds out there. However, if you like .45, there are so many polymer double stacked pistols out there, like the XD or the FNX that...

I have a Taurus 1911 which I like plenty, I just didn't like the look of the hammer, so I bought a Wilson combat one to replace it. After getting the hammer installed and the gun re assembled, when in safe the hammer will move slightly when the trigger is pulled, and when the safety is...

Is it possible to maximize the velocity gain you can get in a pistol caliber (.44) carbine by using a fast burning rifle powder, such as H4227, instead of a slow pistol powder? Thanks!

Hi, I have some AA#9 powder on hand; I know that this is a good load for full power .44 magnum loads, however I recently bought a 1894 marlin carbine, and the cast bullets that I am planning on reloading for it can lead the barrel if pushed past 1500 fps. Is it possible to download AA#9 to a...

Had today off so I visited the range this morning. I was firing some 147 grain underwood through my Taurus 92, when after one shot I felt something VERY hot land on my left (non-firing) hand. After very rapidly putting my pistol on safe and benching it, I looked in my hand and found.. a primer...

I am trying to remove the magazine disconnect and learn how to take the gun down completely because I intend to cerama coat the gun soon, but I am having some serious difficulties getting very far beyond field stripping the gun. Does anyone here have any knowledge that could help me out?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMiI8VcPQ3c This video shows a 9mm bullet expanding to .814 caliber while also penetrating nearly 13 inches. This is a greater expanded diameter (I believe) than any .45 that has been tested in this series of videos, with penetration that handily meets the...

As ignorant as this may potentially sound, I've been doing some reading up on this lately and that is actually where my curiosioty stems from. I know that JHP is the by far more commonly accepted self defense round, but why? It's penetration capabilities have been proven to be inadequate in many...
