??? Seriously? Those are ...unexpected... bore and groove dimensions.

Maybe so. Or, maybe it's just that my mind goes in 18 directions at once, and makes connections all over the place that were not intended. My comments are in good fun, not attacking in nature. I had an actual grin on my face while I typed all that out. (-:

I get terribly amused when folks try to defend iron sights (against magnifying riflescopes) by telling a person they must match their target to the distance at which they're shooting. I'm sure this is due to how I approach a rifle, or any firearm. I may, occasionally, shoot my rifles for...

Browning BLR. Love mine, they don't have the limitations inherent in tube-magazine cartridges, and are available in some of the most-ubiquitous centerfire rifle cartridges in existence (based on ammo sales data I can find): 30-06 Springfield, 308 Winchester, 6.5 Creedmoor, and 223 Remington...

They took out the aluminum underneath the outer plastic? I didn't realize that. My 581 has the aluminum underneath the plastic. I suppose it's a few, perhaps several by now, years old...

Gotcha. I'm familiar with that one, too. It _may_ be a federal reg, since I've encountered it in every state I've lived in so far. Or, maybe the states have it. Nevertheless, that eyewear will not and does not meet ANSI Z87 nor MIL-PRF-xxxxxx (I forget the number until I look it up) unless...

I did not say that. If your last line there was all there was to it, why would you 'check' the weight your volumetric dispenser throws on any given cartridge in the course of a batch of reloads? I'm keeping the stuff that's far OT to the thread or the OP out of my posts here, which may...

No, sir, I do not. If I'm dispensing powder by volume, I dispense it by volume. If I'm dispensing it by weight, I dispense it by weight. Again, there's a lot in this that's not relevant to OP or this thread. If he's having on-target troubles and is looking into a variety of possible reasons...

Do you check your scale by putting a volume on it, or a weight? See the difference? Again, I know what most people think, and that's fine. It's nonsensical to check color with a hardness tester.

Okay, I'll be the one to say it: Powder dispensers dispense volume, not weight. Checking a volumetric dispenser via weight checks doesn't make sense. I know what most people think about measuring powder, and they're all welcome to their thoughts. There are some glaring deficiencies in that...

Forgive me, but I searched Connecticut statute and rules, and can't find anything to that effect. Could you help me find the relevant statute or administrative rule? I seriously doubt this is the case. Luxottica, the Italian mega-corp which controls the VAST majority of prescription...

I agree that blind magazines are terrible for competition guns, and I dislike them even for hunting because of the tedium of unloading. The exception is the 'blind' en bloc clip on the M1. It will spit those out at the push of a button. (-: --For my competition guns, I want DBMs _of a...

I love my 327, in significant part because I can shoot 32 Short, 32 Long, 32 H&R, or 327 Fed all in the same gun! My SP101 won't reliably fire 32 Autos, but I've read that most or all LCRs will. Glad your gun will, too.

Kleanbore, it’s okay for you to use your brain and stay on topic. There’s almost nothing about that scenario that particularly resembles the one where you and your spouse are walking along past your idling car with the bad guy 40+ yards away.

No. He was called in to play offense against strangers. That isn’t how you’d handle a genuinely defensive situation with your spouse; not even close.

That wasn’t a ‘defensive’ situation at all. It was an offensive police situation. They’re not particularly similar.

Let me make sure I understand the question, because I see two divergent lines of thought in the responses thus far. Are you asking: A) How to determine whether a _model_ of gun, or at least a _production lot_, is defective (or just weak) in design or manufacturing? or B) How to determine...

32 Auto will neither reliably fire nor reliably extract from my SP101 in 327 Federal Mag. The LCRs in 327 don't seem to have either of those troubles, though I don't quite understand why there would be a difference.

It _could_ be the case that a higher speed (thus higher spin rate) was needed to properly stabilize the 100-grain bullet. That isn’t the case here, but it _could_ be with the right bullets & twist rate. That’s different from saying the shorter bullet needs to be run slower in order to stay...
