    Mini 30 Magazines - Which ones?

    Same here. Before I read all the way through, I was trying to visualize where the stud at the front and the lever at the rear of the magwell were moved to. 😂 Stay safe.

    A question about cylinder jamming

    Good deal! Glad it was an easy fix. :thumbup: Now that you got it fixed, let us know how it shoots when you get it back in action on the range. Stay safe.

    Is everyone still loving their Ruger Wranglers?

    I am another Wrangler owner who likes his. Both have been fun little plinkers that I enjoy shooting. They don’t have the sight radius, nor the crisp sight picture that my 6.5” Single Sixes have, but they still shoot just fine. Stay safe.

    S&W 14-4 (trash or treasure $980)

    I love my three Model 14-3’s. Fantastic guns, all. 5”, 6” and 8 3/8 Model 14’s shown here with the Colt Officers Model Heavy Barrel .38 Spl. from the 1930’s. IMHO, there is nothing I find more fun and relaxing than shooting finely made, accurate .38 Special revolvers. Buy it, thats a nice...

    That sure could be a reason. 🤔 Stay safe.

    Glock 45 ACP gen 4 vs gen 5 mags?

    My Gen 5 9mm Glock magazines work just fine in my Ruger PC9, as do all the other Gen 3-4 ones, too. (Still have some hi-cap ban magazines from the 1990’s that work.) There shouldn't be an issue with their .45 mags in your gun. Stay safe.

    A question about cylinder jamming

    Without handling the gun, I can only hazard a couple guesses. My first guess is that it may be the cylinder is back a thousandth or two too far, and the cartridge rims are dragging/hanging up on the recoil shield area like @45 Dragoon mentioned. I have a S&W DA revolver that had this problem...

    Mini 30 Magazines - Which ones?

    With the Ruger Mini series, three decades of trial and error leads me to say it is OEM Ruger. Anything else is a roll of the dice ,with the odds stacked in favor of them being unreliable. (Since my former office sold off our 65 Mini 14’s and moved to AR’s in 2021, these are all the OEM...

    Mare's Leg: Worth it or a waste?

    IMHO, It’s a range toy to have fun with, pure and simple. If you want one, I say go ahead and buy one. Only then will you know if it is a hoot, it’s okaaaay, or it’s a total waste. Stay safe.

    Two of S&W best ever

    I do like my 686+. Yeah, it has the “bad” parts and “evil” lock built in, but it shoots like a dream for me and that 7th shot is a nice bonus. It got scratched up a bit on duty while riding in a drop-swivel holster for a while, so I had it bead blasted for an even matte finish. Here with its...

    Firing a DA revolver in SA mode

    I shot a few dozen rounds SA with the Model 14-3 today. Here are 6 shots using 3.0 gr Bullseye and a 148 gr plated DEWC at juuuust a bit over 15 yards. I can’t do this well DA. (Not that this is match-winning stuff! 😂) For a precise shot I will cock the gun. For 90% of the rest of my DA/SA...

    45 Colt in a Rifle

    To avoid the lengthy .45 Colt in a .460 chamber jump, have you tried low-end .454 Casull loads in .460 cases, or use .454 Casull cases with max .45 colt loads? Sort of like loading +P .38 Special in s .357 case for use in a .357 revolver. Just a thought. Stay safe.

    Wood Body Armor Plates?

    Hmmm, neat to see people trying new ideas. But I’ll pass on this one. YMMV. Stay safe.

    Bore snake

    I’m surprised you are having to hook up a tractor to yank the snake through the bore. I have a bunch of different sizes, and almost all of them needed me to wrap some strands of all-copper Chore Boy around the bristles to give it more of a scrub:. Are you sure the bore snake is a .22 caliber...

    22 ammo sticker shock

    SV is (was?) roughly $70-brick here fir a while. I haven’t checked the price recently, though. Stay safe.

    Do you decrease potential firearms purchases because of Form 4473 & FFL interaction?

    If you want it, buy it. The 4473, and whatever else your area requires, is just a step in the process. Stay safe.

    Ruger PC Carbine 9 (P.S.A) .....

    I like Fiocchi ammo. I shoot their shotgun, rimfire, 5.56 and handgun ammo in 9mm, .40 and .45. I have a couple of unopened cases of their 115 fmj and another case of it dumped into a . 30 cal ammo can awaiting future range trips. The Ruger PC9 is a fun gun, mine wears a Bushnell red dot and...

    45/70 barrel length

    I LOVE the Kittery Trading Post! Every time I visit my In-laws in Alton, NH. I make the drive to Salmon Falls Stoneware and then jog over to Kittery to gawk at all the goodies. @Csinn, The 22” standard 1895 barrel length is a good compromise in .45/70 between weight (recoil reduction!)...

    Getting back to shooting

    Maybe a couple of painting dropcloths could help with semi auto brass collection as well. Cheaper than canvas tarps and easier to handle, wont melt if hot brass lands on a plastic tarp. Just a thought… Good luck with your surgery. 🙏 My Dad had it at 80, other than a bit of numbness in his...
