    Purchase delayed

    I have purchased 4 handguns and an AR lower in the last year without issue. I also have a valid carry permit and put down my SSN. Absolutely nothing about my status has changed. Last night I went to buy a new P938 at Cabelas and was delayed by the NICS. Why would that happen? Do delays ever get...

    Pressure signs even with factory loads?

    I just finished shooting my new Savage 10FCP and noticed that I have a shiny ejector mark on the headstamp of some of my brass. Handloads and factory Federal Gold Match. To make a long story longer, I started my session with 5 rounds of the GMM, then proceeded with my handloads from lightest to...

    Need holster for new Para Slim-Hawg

    Hi I'm looking for an IWB holster for this gun, but nobody list it specificly. Does anyone know if an Colt Officers model type holster would work. The barrel is a 3" on the Para. Thanks for any suggestions. Jeff

    New Para Slim Hog range report

    I just got a new Para Slim Hog 3" 45 ACP 1911 yesterday. There's not a lot of info, good or bad, on the web, so thought I'd give my experience. I really like the looks of this gun, and concealing in a belt slide is very easy. I have a 5" Kimber and like it very much, but don't like having to...

    Is it possible....

    for a larger guy (6'1 225 lbs) to bend the barrel or frame on a S&W 642 by carrying IWB behind hip or small of back while sitting in the car? That little snubbie barrel looks awful thin.

    Starline VS Winchester

    Any one use Starline brass? It's cheaper than Winchester. Is it just as good? I'm thinking of buying a large quantity but would like to hear some feedback.

    642 owners

    Off center primer strikes As stated in an earlier post, I just bought a new 642. I like the gun very much and seems plenty accurate. I noticed that the firing pin hits on the primers are quite a bit off center. Is this typical? Anything to worry about? PS I did verify that the cylinder...

    New S&W 642- Question

    Just bought a new 642; boy what a weight difference to my 2.25" SP-101. This brings me to my question. In my mind, it's practice, practice, practice, in order to get comfortable and shoot well with any gun. How much standard pressure .38 specials can be shot in these Airweights before the gun...

    Ruger End Shake

    My new SRH has none, zero; My new GP100 has a little. Have not measured it yet. How much is too much? I hate to send it back if there is an acceptable amount. Thanks Jeff

    158gr plated load for .357

    Hi All I just tried some of the West Coast/Accura/Extreme plated bullets in my GP-100. 10gr Blue Dot with the 158gr Flat Point. Seems quite accurate but my velocities were up around 1250 fps. I'd like to tame it down a bit, maybe around 1000 fps. I'd drop the BD charge a bit, but wonder how it...

    Barrel life w/jacketed bullets

    I know that lead bullets are very kind to barrels and jacketed will wear a barrel faster, but, realisticly, how many jacketed handgun rounds would one need to fire to notice any appreciable barrel wear? Specificly in medium to top end .357 and 44 magnum.

    Cast bullet question

    Hi All My new GP-100 has a throat dia over .357, and smaller than .358. The bore slugs right at .357. Will shooting .358 dia cast bullets work ok? After searching the net for answers, I have read to use bullets no smaller than the throat, but not much info for slightly larger. Any...

    Redding T-7 Turret Press

    I bought a new Redding turret press last week and have noticed that there is some play in the head when the case enters the die. I can move this by hand also. There is no play toward me, only to the rear, and the head stops on the machined surface where the indexing ball sits. As best as I can...
