I got a big surprise this morning. I was looking for a Lee .45 Colt Taper Crimp Die when I came across a Lee Classic Loader for .45 Colt. I already have one, but decided to see if this was a fluke listing or maybe some old listing that had been overlooked. It was not. These were unavailable for...

I received an email this morning about S&W’s new all metal pistols. I scanned this and the Autoloader forum and didn’t see any posts in this regard so here we are. Over the years I have heard many say they would never own a “plastic” pistol. Perhaps these may be of interest. I must admit...

Apparently Smith & Wesson has a funny bone. I didn’t post this as an April Fool’s joke. It is funny, but can you imagine what shooting something like this would be like? I can tell you I wouldn’t shoot it even if given one. A nice guy at the range one day offered to let me shoot his full sized...

I have wanted a Henry Big Boy X model since I first read about them. I wanted one in .45 Colt. My LGS had a brand new one for a while. They were asking $989.00 for it. When I decided to get it, it was gone. Probably a good thing. My bike needed tires and maintenance. Anyway, a used X model...

I was complaining about the use of flake pistol powders and the disparity in the measurements of the charges thrown by my RCBS powder measure. An acquaintance of mine recommended mounting an aquarium pump to my powder measure to help settle the powder with vibration for more accurate throws. 1...

I found this today when checking out new guns at the SHOT Show online. Diamondback had its new .357 SDR revolver on the shooting line. Coined the Self-Defense Revolver for its size and power, this small hand cannon is one of the lightest single-action/double-action six-shot .357 magnums on...

I am kind of upset / disappointed. My SFAR let me down. Today is the first day of deer season here and my SFAR, the gun that was going to be my deer rifle is lounging at FedEx awaiting shipment to NC. After a 200 round break in and a really good cleaning I took some ammo to the range last week...

Today I was prepping some .45 Colt brass for reloading. I resized and deprimed 200 rounds of brass but didn’t bother with inspecting the primer pockets. Why would I do that? They don’t need inspecting… 🙄 I was installing primers in the cases with my RCBS Automatic Primer Tool when I had a stuck...

The search for grip perfection continues. In addition to my larger revolvers I have a Smith & Wesson 442 and a model 36. Both are round butt frames. I got my 442 in ‘97 for my birthday. I have had a love hate relationship with the factory Uncle Mike’s boot grip for years. I bought my model...

I got an email from Smith & Wesson this morning. They just announced a new 9mm carbine that takes other magazines including Glock. It looks interesting. https://www.smith-wesson.com/response

A while back @CraigC had a post about a beauty of a Tanker holster and it got me thinking. I hadn’t considered a tanker holster for carrying any of my revolvers. I was considering a chest holster but I recall having a chest pouch for hiking that literally lasted or rode on my chest for about 1.5...

Early last November I bought a G44 for a very nice price. I bought a G44 because of all the “rave reviews” I read about it. Mine was not one of those pistols. It had the following issues: Offhand shots grouped at 6” at 10 yards. Rested the groups were 4” POI would shift left to right by a...

I was at my LGS yesterday and for the first time since they were released I saw my first Henry Long Ranger in person. Not a bad looking rifle at all. I was surprised at how narrow the barrel was. I would love to shoot one to see if I would like to own one. The price was $999.99. Sorry the...

I looked to see if this had already been posted. I didn’t see a posting but if this is a duplicate, Mods please delete. I received this in an email this morning. It’s really long, but this is the ATF’s Final Rule on pistol braces. I have no dog in this fight. I have no handguns with braces...

I received an email this morning from NUMRICH / Gunparts Corp about their new reference guide. 1100 pages of schematics and parts listings. I am sure this will be a very handy book. I ordered myself one. https://www.gunpartscorp.com/products/REFGD01

:DI have been debating on getting one of these for a while. Coincidentally @chaim thread on buying a .22 got me thinking about the range I belong to shutting down at the end of November. This range has one killer gun store as part of the range and all guns are on sale at 10% off. I had decided...

I saw this when leaving my indoor range / LGS. The guys have no info on it. It has a turn ring so it has been shot. But I didn’t lay hands on it. Snapped a photo and moved on to get home to a delivery. It’s an 8 shot .357. I know nothing about Taurus revolvers or their pricing. Should I pass...

I finally escaped from California! “Yay, me!”:D As my daughter used to say. Anyway, I am currently in transit to my new home in West (by gawd) Virginia and my wife and I stopped at the original Cabela’s in Sidney Nebraska a couple of days ago. It was obvious the Bass Pro “influence” (nice way...

A friend bought a 5” Rhino and is pretty happy with it. I think the concept looks interesting, but I was wondering how reliable and accurate they are? I also see they have a nickel plated model(s) and some type of multi colored coating on one model. I have experience with S&Ws and Rugers and I...
