    How many of you carry reloads in your SD guns?

    Yes, I carry reloads. I know their POI, recoil generated, and my recovery time between shots. As for QC, I have never seated a bullet upside down, but have bought factory ammo with that occurring. I have never seated a primer upside down, but have bought factory ammo with that situation...

    Age of Revolver Fanatics?

    I'm 61. While I own more semi-autos than revolvers, I shoot the revolvers a disproportionately amount.

    Are you buying ammo at higher than market prices?

    No. I refuse to pay more for 22 lr than I can reload center fire cartridges for. If the time comes that components are unavailable at reasonable price, I'll stop reloading. I've been wanting a RWS Model 48 for a long time. I have enough center fire components to have more than a few boxes of...

    why no love for the HK93?

    I bought a buffer to put on the rifle partially covering the ejection port. It did not interfere with the operation of the rifle, and my brass stayed within 10 feet of me.

    Ever had a gun sale go bad while in the process

    The horror stories get worse on some venues, like eBay. I was the high bidder on three items, and paid by PayPal. Seller refused to ship the the item, them relisted it. Oh, and he left me unpaid bidder strikes on all three items. I was beyond POed. This guy was no Mensa candidate. PayPal...

    What's Your Real CCW?/Mr. Colion Noir

    Generally it is a CA .44 Bulldog. If it is intolerably hot and I am not wearing much clothing, it is a Seecamp .32.

    H&K bringing the G36 here to USA...

    "It will cost you first born child and it will have a 12 pound trigger pull like my buddy's HK91 ." My HK91 cost me $400.00 at a pawn shop (many years ago), and yes it is an H&K, not some wannabee. The trigger pull is no where near 12 lbs. , and it will function will any dimensionally correct...

    SW 686 v Colt 1911

    Since you specified HD, I go with the 686. If it was for CC, I'd go with the 1911.

    Don't mess with older Texans. See here.

    "Like a lot of other Texans (well an ex-Texan) I'm too old to fight, so I carry. 'Nuff said." That sounds like when I went to a bar with a buddy and his much younger brother. My buddy told him, "Don't mess with the older guys, they will cap your ***."

    Second pistol?

    I've never owned a PPK, but have owned a HSC (and loved it). The 380 does have a bit of snappy recoil, and is not a versatile gun. On the plus side, my 380 was very accurate, and absolutely reliable. OTOH, the 357 revolver is the epitome of versatility. 38 special wadcutters in a 357 is the...

    AMT .30 cal Automatic pistol

    My AMT runs fine. I especially enjoy shooting it late in the day, as it produces a serious fireball. If you keep it lubricated, galling isn't really a problem.

    Frustrated with five shot revolvers

    I still carry a CA 44 Bulldog. It is not a real pleasure to practice with, but I do it none the less. At close quarters, I feel confident in hitting my target, unless I am disabled first. The only thing I would even think of trading it for is a small Glock 45, and I am not going to do that...

    Recoil Shoulder Pain

    Most of my shotgun shooting involved doves, or clay pigeons. The very light loads mentioned by WM handled both targets very well and did not beat me up at all. Slugs and buckshot were relegated to a few round per session, and I was very diligent to make sure my stock was positioned properly and...
