    Is Taurus a Good Brand for Revolvers

    I bought one about 40 years ago… I read about them … Yada, yada… Buy once and cry once… Then put it in your safe and don’t shoot it. A Colt or S&W will hold value… Taurus like other manufacturers should not be trusted. Inspect it thoroughly before purchasing. Not to many years back every...

    Servisios and Adventuras Primer Observations.

    Mine go bang … GP100 with a lower power spring. ( Ruger liked heavy springs ) Everything else is stock.

    GP100 Material

    Ruger takes other brand revolvers turned in for OEM warranty or thru Davidson's Gallery of Guns and recycles their steel into GP-100's...

    38spl can’t get it right!!

    Do your Xtreme bullets drop thru your Cylinders ? I found them to be sized like FMJ bullets and drop thru cylinders. I believe they recommend lead bullet reloading data over at Xtreme. This may not work in your gun. Since the bullets are sized smaller @ 0.357 this is less than lead ones @...

    Which progressive press?

    I watched several YouTube videos with an LCT & Case Kicker before buying one. You can watch them do 4-5 per minute loading handgun brass. A few tips: 1- With Pistol you can adjust the length of the lever for a shorter stroke. 2- Your left hand is in constant motion as well as your right hand...

    Which progressive press?

    Are you talking about shooting 1,000 of two pistol & one rifle caliber per week, month, or year ? Richard Lee's rule of thumb is that you need a progressive if you are shooting more than 500 Per week of a Caliber. This makes your reloading time about an hour on a Progressive when you clock all...

    S&W is Trying to Take Over the World

    Trump is colluding with the Russians and their link to S&W from the days of the 44 Russian Revolvers... It seems clear to me.;)

    Charter Arms Mag Pug .357

    I like to hand load 357's with Trail Boss powder. It is the preferred powder of Outlaws & Sherifs according to the label... So it must be good for self defense.

    .44 magnum dies which ones?

    I think their "Modified Taper Crimp" lets you get a taper with a mild amount of roll to a full roll crimp. It works great for FMJ's with a groove or canalure. This is part of the fun of Revolver Bullets. So many options in bullets to tinker with. Maybe it is a mental disorder...

    .44 magnum dies which ones?

    You will never wear out a set of carbide dies so they are all equal. If you plan to shoot Lead, Hard Cast or Powder Coated bullets then a Lyman M-Die for flaring is nice. Or the Redding or RCBS versions are very nice. Or you can buy a Lee Universal and buy the diameter you wish from NOE...

    What is an acceptable group for a 38 special?

    I just shoot thru the same hole to save paper, reduce climate change and make the planet a safer place for sea turtles...

    Lee Auto Breech Lock Pro Review

    Seems like an interesting idea for Lee to consider. I wish I had suggested it.... :rofl:

    What large double-action revolver should I be shooting?

    I have 5" GP100 and like it a lot. I like the 5" length over 4 or 6" lengths. The Wolf Spring kit is easy to install so you can do your own gun smithing. - I only installed the hammer spring. - I did not do the trigger spring. Dry fire will polish and marry the parts in lieu... this is a...

    Separating 9's from 380's. Tricks?

    Deprime on a single stage. The shell holders are different.

    9mm or .380

    The 380 is more suited for 'urban' terrain as bullets tend to not exit the intended human target. So you would need (2) shots to make (2) holes. Bersa & Berretta make double stack 380 designs that have 13 &15 round magazine capacities. So, it is not that big of an issue. The Metal Jacketed...

    Trying a Ruger LCR in .38 Special

    I have an LCR and prefer heavier all steel revolvers.

    Any recipes for e3 in 38 Special?

    I think Loads of Bacon on YouTube & The Reloader's Network used e3 in many pistol calibers during the last dark age.

    sccy cpx3 380acp

    I saw them once at a gun show. The Trigger is definitely for SD and not for target practice. They have been making them for years now in many colors. I tend to look at Gallery of Guns to see if they sell a model I am looking at. Since they eat it if there is a problem I view it as a good...
