Just getting back into handgun reloading and using Lee equipment. The Auto Disk powder gizmo I have seems to hate flake powder like Unique. What's a good ball/spherical powder for .38, .45 acp and .357 that meters well?

Is this possible? Perhaps with moonclips? I just came into a SP101 in .38 Special that doesn't fit into my plans for carry or range shooting and was considering having it "tinkered with" for a 9mm conversion. Then I thought of the old .38 Super ACP round which is dimensionally closer to .38 SPL...

I have a cousin who hit upon some really hard times last year and had to sell all his guns. He now has a steady job again - not what he was making, but enough for his family to make ends meet. He has saved up about $2,000 to buy guns for basic needs, but really doesn't know that much about...

Handled a friend's new PDA tonight. Sweet looking and feeling carry gun. He hasn't shot it yet and will not be able to for a couple of weeks. Seems like an ideal carry gun, the trigger is DA, but light - I'd say around 7-8 lbs, 3" barrel, really slim. Would love to hear opinions from anyone...

So the good 'ol USA is probably the best nation on our small rock where folks can own guns and use them for various purposes. So, after us where on this whole big globe does gun ownership/rights exhibit itself in a meaningful fashion? I've traveled a good bit internationally (for a redneck) ...

New to this caliber and finding that there's plenty of ball ammo out there, but not much in the way of self-defense hollowpoint loads. Which load would you all recommend? If not in the poll, please post your choice. (Note: the 115 gr. Silver Bear JHP is not available widely any longer.)

Picked this up recently with my new C&R . . . what a great little gun at a great price! It's been stripped and reblued with a black matte finish rather than the baked-on painted finish most have. Looks new (except for the grips which I'm replacing anyhow). Internals and polygonal bore appear...

Just recieved my C&R and wanted some feedback on which of these you all would buy first. (I'll probably get all 3 eventually). Right now leaning strongly to the CZ 82.

I had a discussion with a friend today where he was telling me about the recent burglary of his home (nice house in a midtown area of a big city). The thieves stole some jewelry, electronics and most of his guns including an AK, 2 AR's, an SKS, 5 Semi-auto pistols, 3 shotguns and about 1,000...

I had the opportunity a few weeks back to shoot a HiPower with tangent sights. [rear sight is like that on many military rifles, except this one was 50-500 meters]. Now, having hunted deer and hogs with .357 and .44 magnum handguns for many years, I knew certain handguns can have quite a...

Folks I have an opportinity to buy a nearly mint condition, mid-70's M 37 Airweight S&W for about $350. It's blued and has the original checkered wooden grips. Just what's the difference in hammered versions of the airweight S&W of that vintage? (this one has the "airweight" marked on the...

Having a business that consists of traveling the south and midwest and visiting many small towns I have taken great delight in discovering many "off the wall" gun dealers who conceal their gun business as (or within) some other enterprise. Places such as the "lock and key" shop that hasn't...

Just sent off my C&R FFL application today and was wanting some thoughts on what C&R eligible guns you all would be considering for purchase when the license gets approved? Already on my list are a CZ 82 and a few classic military bolt rifles.

Ran across some info on this gun and thinking about ordering. I have an old Bulldog that I like the idea of, just always wanted to use heavier loads. Believe this will fit the bill and allow me to use hotter loads for SD plus, now the Buff Bore SWC is an option for woods carry in a lighter gun...

Just acquired a used PT111 that's in excellent shape - almost LNIB. Checked it out on their website and it was a '99 manufacture and is a plain Millennium not Millennium Pro. Questions are: What is the differences between this and the newer Millennium Pro models? Seem to be mostly identical...

I've decided I need a compact 9mm to carry IWB/OWB concealed. Have been looking at the Walther P99c. My criteria is under 25 oz. with no manual safety . . . decocker preferred. (Has to go bang just with a pull of the trigger). Would very much appreciate suggestions as to anything comparable...

This is an interesting little gun that I bought about 25 years ago as backup protection when I ran a retail business and had to handle cash register reciepts and deposits. Had almost forgotten about it until I saw some grips in a catalog for $5 and thought "hmm, I have one of those somewhere and...

I know the P01 was designed as the NATO qualifier, but the 75D Compact seems like the same gun with a few exterior cosmetic differences. Reason I ask is the CZ bug has bitten hard on 'ol ARTiger . . . Bought a SP01 a few months ago and a 75BD Police last week. The more I shoot them, the more...

Interesting ammo test comparision tool at this site: http://www.winchester.com/lawenforcement/testing/testing.aspx#

My SP-01 needed company and I found a CZ75BD Police that just wouldn't let me walk away. Very nice gun. This one has no manual safety, just a decocker (which I really like), the mags drop free and it has the loaded chamber indicator. $409 NIB from a local gun store - even has factory installed...
