Found this while sorting through my latest haul from the local range. Its a 9mm case with a completely illegible headstamp. Almost seems eroded. It has a slight concave shape to it too, causing the primer to sit slightly proud. The rest of the case looks normal. I've heard about reloading them...

Many of us have heard about the reported problems with the slide failing to lock back. I get it. Some parts have been updated since then, or the ammo was underpowered, or the slide release is being contacted during recoil. I do not believe that to be the case here. I have all the latest parts...

I picked up a handful of these at the range the other day. The odd color caught my eye. At first I could not make out the headstamp. It looked almost Arabic to me. Not until I got home did I realize that it was a Buckmark stamp that I was looking at. So anyway, I find myself wondering what the...

Anyone tried this combo yet? Alliant's website lists some loads for other cartridges with this relatively new powder, but none for the 44 special. Unique is normally my go-to powder for the relatively low powdered "special" revolver rounds, but I havent found any for sale at resonable prices...

I just came across this on one of my mobile news apps. Excuse me if the link is broken...

I recently bought a used Redhawk in 44 mag. Standard model, not Super. My first Ruger revolver. The S/N dates it back to the early eighties, but it is as tight, or tighter than my much newer Smith revolvers. First time out with it the cylinder became quite hard to turn after 20-30 rounds. I...

Yesterday a purchased a used KelTec pf9 that I found on one of those FB garage sale sights. The guy was up the road from me and only wanted 150 bucks. How could I say no? Anyway, I now own my first micro sized 9mm. Everything else in 9mm has been full size or carbine. I do not have much...

Odd story of a 130 year old rifle found in a national park. http://news.discovery.com/history/archaeology/1882-winchester-rifle-found-near-tree-in-nevada-park-150114.htm

I am looking to get a decent holster for my CZ75BD Police. Been looking around a little bit and so far I am disappointed with what I have come across. I can find very nice expensive ones, and low end ones with bad reviews about fitment. Not much in between. I dont need a fancy high dollar...

I wanna experiment a little bit with some slightly heavier recoil springs for my CZ. Two reasons.... First, I've never played with swapping recoil springs before, I just wanna see what effect a heavier spring might have. Second, I've got about five hundred rounds of +P ammunition I would like to...

Not really weapons related, but... I just succeded in bringing my Delica4 to "light saber sharp" levels. After which I decided to give shaving a try. Went ok. Not the closest shave I've had, and one small nick, but I am happy with the results. Now I just need some practice and a real blade meant...

I'm still a little new to the shotgun scene. There is much that I dont know, but this seems like a problem. About a year ago I bought a used Pardner Pump from a guy I worked with at the time. Came with both smooth and rifled barrels. I havent given the rifled barrel much thought just yet...

I finally decided that I needed a full size all steel 9mm. I have had an SR9 for quite a while but wanted to try something different. It was my first handgun. Nothing wrong with it, fuctioned and felt right to me. As far as striker fired pistols go, the trigger was excellent. But as time went on...

I am finally in the market for decent knife. I have had a handful of cheapies over the last few years, the kind I don't really care too much about, just replace it when it wears out. However, I have recently been bitten by the knife bug. I don't know what happened, I just suddenly gained an...

I have done some searching and havent quite come up with the answers I am looking for. My questions pertains to aluminum j frames, model 637-2 specifically, and hotter than average loads. Namely, Buffalo Bore's heavy .38 spl +P 158gr. LSWCHP The way I understand it is that this is not your...

I have some 9mm reloads that will frequently fail to extract, resulting in an annoying double feed. Happens one or two rounds per magazine. I have a bunch of them, around 500, that I loaded around two years ago. I was fairly new to reloading at that point, but I can't see that being the issue. I...

I am just getting started reloading this caliber for my 637. I currenty have PowerPistol and WST to work with. I have used these powders with outstanding results in 9mm. PowerPistol for the hotter stuff, WST for cast plinker rounds. I worked up some 125 gr XTP's with PowerPistol to replicate...
