My old Pachmayr Signature grips are wearing out quickly, and I can’t seem to find them available anywhere. I have/want the kind with the checkered front and back strap, not the finger groove model. And… I wouldn’t mind suggestions on your favorite source for Hi-power grips of any kind. I’m not...

I’m thinking of getting a wide trigger for my early 70s vintage BHP. The candidates are: https://www.apextactical.com/wide-flat-trigger-for-sa-35-and-bhp-pistols And https://cylinder-slide.com/Item/CS0037 Both options offer a wider than stock trigger. The Apex trigger is a flat profile...

I’m thinking of upgrading my home defense shotgun from an old 1100 16 gauge to a 12 gauge. I’m considering the Maverick 88 20” cylinder bore, 7+1 capacity Local price: $229 and the Mossberg 590 Persuader 20” 8+1 capacity. Also cylinder bore. Heat shield. Drilled & tapped. Includes pistol grip...

I’m curious how many folks have one and how often they use it, and for what calibers. Is it mostly just a novelty—or a tool that I should have? I know bench mounted presses are faster, so what’s the big draw?

I recently ordered 2 NOE powder through expanders (.45acp & 9mm) Since I load coated bullets almost exclusively. They are “M-type” expanders and would make setting the bullets on the case after flaring much easier. This after getting a NOE .224 expander plug for my .22TCM loading. See pics...

I’ll post several pics to show my progress setting up and getting the ABLP going. Please give suggestions if you see something I miss. Out of the box, sitting on the Lyman press riser— nothing is mounted. Another view, the Lyman riser seems very sturdy. Holes in the riser top plate fit the...

So… I found a deal on a Lee ABLP (reconditioned) for $100 on eBay and couldn’t resist the urge. Press only, other parts on the way from Titan Reloading. I already have dies, AutoDrum powder measure, and Safely Prime. Ordered case feeder & collator, shell plate, and bin. I will post more when...

I happened on an older gentleman at the range today shooting a Kimber .22 conversion on top of a nice vintage 1911 —issued in 1914 he said. He did not have the slide with him since he only shoots .22 now at his age (near 90 as best I could tell). It did have the right look, frame shape...

I reload .22TCM and have thus far been able to locate the armscor 22c 40gr jacketed soft point bullet used in factory ammunition—until COVID. I’ve been looking for 2yrs but no luck and I’m almost out. Does anyone have a recommended alternative bullet that would be a good substitute? I’ve...

I inherited a nice 550-1 from my FIL and I’d like to put an inexpensive but useful scope on it for plinking out to 100 yards. Is there such a scope? The rifle has grooves on the receiver for scope mounting so I assume it would use Weaver .22 tip off rings. I’m new to this so all info is good!

My DW Heritage failed one part of the click-test (thumb safety) when I checked it today. It’s about 3 yrs old, very tight, accurate shooter, just a fine pistol. Should I be concerned? click-test as described on Cylinder & Slide web site: https://www.cylinder-slide.com/1911safetyck.shtml It...

I just picked up a new to me ProChrono Digital on eBay. $60 OTD. Works perfectly. My question is should I sell it for what I’ve got in it and buy the new model ProChrono DLX with built-in Bluetooth, or... should I just buy the add-on Digital Link Bluetooth adapter. Money works this way: Used...

Hi all: I’m considering trying coated 9mm bullets (124gr) and I’d like your input on what works for you. I would prefer a slimmer profile rather than short & stubby round nose. (My P938 prefers slimmer) I’ve used Berry’s plated, RMR plated, and RMR FMJ, all in 124gr in the past. After...

I’ve probably loaded 15,000+ rounds on my trusty Lee Classic Turret and it has been a uniformly trouble-free system. I switched to the Autodrum pm about 18mos ago and it too, has been trouble free. Sooo... this morning when I set up to load some .22TCM it was a rather annoying situation when...

I'm posting in reloading (EDIT: Just moved to gunsmithing and repairs--seems more appropriate now) because it seemed the logical place. Mods, please move if a better forum fits. I carry a Sig P938 exclusively. Great shooter, very controllable, very accurate. I recently switched from RMR...

My FA vibratory tumbler gave up for the second time in 2 years (after replacing the cheap cracked bowl). So, I'm upgrading to a Berry's tumbler from Brownells. It's basically a Berry's 400 with a red bowl instead of blue. Cabelas sells the same one (in green) for $75 with media and a softer...

My trusty Lee AutoDrum PM failed yesterday. One minute, I was loading 45acp on my LCT and in an instant, powder flew everywhere while I was charging a case. Pics attached.

I'm going to be installing new sights on my son's Bersa BP9cc for Christmas. He is upgrading to XS big dot 24x7 night sights, one of the few choices for this pistol. My dilemma is: do I invest in an inexpensive sight pusher i.e. The Fisher Solutions sight pusher, or do I use nylon and aluminum...

I've been loading RMR match plated RN 230gr bullets in 45acp for quite a while with great success but I've decided I want to go with a coated LSWC like I use for my 44mag SBH for future loads. My reloads are for range use and I really like the clean punched holes that the swc leaves. My...

Just a quick shout out for Ruger. I returned my Super Blackhawk .44mag to for a broken firing pin. The revolver is 20 years old. Ruger did not offer to pay shipping so I sent it back through my LGS. 2-1/2 weeks later I received my revolver back in like new condition. New FP, FP spring, FP...
