There are none to fit a square butt "N" frame to be found anywhere, not even on the Lyman "mothership" website. What happened?

I was shooting a .38 snub in a timed combat course. While reloading with a speed loader the cylinder refused to lock closed. I forced it to no avail and had to reload using different speed loader to finish the course. Afterwards I discovered one of the cartridges from the first loader was...

Shooting in the air? I remember him saying it's a double barrel:rofl:

and considering the Spyderco Delica. I don't trust liner locks Any opinions good bad or indifferent?

It is amazing how fast stuff accumulates, but it is seldom the stuff I really can use! Stuff takes up room and has the potential for getting mixed up with more important stuff. It's a distraction, and distractions are no mas on the reloading bench. It's better used in the hands of someone who...

I've got a lot of reloading gear---an entire bench crammed into three large plastic black and yellow crates(you know the kind) in storage---covering every aspect of the game from bullet casting to shot shells. With the current shortage going on, I'd like to set up a minimalist portable kit I...

Wilson Lo Profile (pancake?) Or Milt Sparks Professional (55BN?) I'm primarily looking for conceal-ability and comfort. Any experiences? Thoughts? Alternative suggestions?

I took my CCW renewal course last night. I had my S&W Centennial and a box of Remington Target(Remington, not the Remington UMC box) .38 Spl LSWC for my range ammo. The first ten rounds performed as expected but the next five rounds, while chambered, would not let me close the cylinder. I...

In some states, permits are low cost and easy. In others, CCWs are on the expensive side if available at all. Not a problem if like MS Pelosi and Chuckles Schumer, you can afford bodyguards, but for the rest of us, yeah, it can be a problem. Not so much the paperwork for a permit and a class...

I came across a S&W Border Guard on sale today at Big Five. The regular price on line was $34.99, not good deal in my estimation The regular price in the store was $24.99, still not a good deal. Sale price was $12.99, hmmm, that sounds like a good deal. I wanted an unserrated edge and they...

Outside of an occasional class or shooting on the friend's ranch, I'm limited to an indoor range where I can rent one shooting lane and drawing from a holster isn't allowed. Anyone have suggestions on drills that will fit in with these limitations? Thanks!

CA law requires (non-CCW) handguns to be in a locked case when transporting, and while the trunk of a car, to my understanding serves as a locked case, transporting from the house to the car, and from the car to the range are required to be cased as well. A range bag apparently won't fill the...

I'm curious about this. While I wouldn't bet any money on these suppositions, it might offer interesting discourse. 1) Other than physical considerations (stainless in sweaty climes, etc...) does your handgun's finish "transmit" anything to a perp, a bystander, or responding LEO? Commonly, a...

I'm in CA and ammo here is going to get 'spensive and a PITA to buy when all the new requirements are implimented. One of my favorite bullet launchers is a S&W M-29 shooting .44 Spls. at targets, so no need for tubthumper mags or hot loads. So I'm ramping up my handloading for .44 Spls. BUT...

...riding in? I understand S&W sells a lot of these, but I don't see many holsters being made available for hammerless revolvers.

I was wondering if anyone here had thoughts about the Bianci 5 Black Widow compared to the Bianchi 75 Venom? his would be for a full sized 1911

I did not start shooting handguns with the .22, but I started my children off on .22s in order for them to learn the basics without the distraction of report and recoil as well as economy since they could shoot a brick of 500 .22lrs for the same cost as a 50 rd. box of .38s But many people (me...

I read a few gun forums and it seems to me that handgun owners often suffer an imbalance not unlike other enthusiasts in other endeavors, but it seems more prevalent with handgunners. Nearly all trap shooters don't obsess over trap shooting when off the range (and there is no shortage of OCD...

Years ago I had a CCW, which I let lapse when my house filled with little tykes. Now the little tykes are gone, and being older and grayer, my bride and I are more of a target for hooligans so I'm applying for another CCW. I still have the S&W 640 and Colt 1911 that were on my original CCW, I...
