    What's the quickest/cheapest route to get THIS 1911?

    Why not go for something along the lines of a used Les Baer Stinger? They are 4.25" slides with the officer's frame. Sort of a nice combination to me and easy to conceal. I just ordered another Milt Sparks VM II for mine. You can find nice used ones in the $1350 range if you look...

    Fast 41 Mag load questions. ATTN: WESHOOT2, Clark, others that like 'em fast.

    If you notice, he has a pretty bad habit of loading all of his stuff that way. To each his own. I'm really surprised the old Smith hasn't beat itself loose with those loads. I'll post the results when I get a chance. Sent the gun back to Ruger yesterday because something appears to be wrong...

    Fast 41 Mag load questions. ATTN: WESHOOT2, Clark, others that like 'em fast.

    I recently took my 41 out for the first time. I bought one of the 41 Ruger Hunters. As I have never owned a 41 before, I was relying on manuals and others references for my first few loads that I was going to try. I have some 265 grain Keith gas checked bullets that I wanted to try. I looked...

    I'll give you $350 :D its only right you know. You should pass on the good deals. Amazing, I hear of things like that but never run across them very often. GS

    The ultimate handgun

    why is a 6" Anaconda in 45 Colt not suitable for hunting? Just curious, sounds like a nice deer gun to me.. but thats just me. GS

    Now that you mention it, if I look closer, I can see the topstrap now. We need better pictures of that one. I love old rugers, I just bought a new one myself. From your picture, the "flattop" appears to be in excellent condition. How does that 44 Freedom shoot? If anything like my Freedoms...

    best 44mag

    Actually, I would say the nicest one in the group is the 2nd UP on the far left. Is that the 97? 44 Spl? Been looking at one myself but I'm unsure if I want that one or the 475 first. I love my FA revolvers. they are truly addictive. What about the very bottom right...New or Old Model? If...

    favorite revolver and why?

    My favorite at this point is my 7.5" Premier 454 Casull made by Freedom Arms. However, I just bought an Old Model 45 Colt with 4 5/8" barrel and a 41 Ruger Hunter. Haven't had a chance to shoot these yet but they have a long road ahead of them to beat out the Casull. The Casull has shot 1.5"...

    What's the smallest pistol you'd trust?

    marshall, I have one that pretty much looks just like that 232. I bought a new in box 230 recently with a Don Hume holster for $300 from a local store. Very accurate and easy to carry. I personally would prefer not to be shot by anything. I have a various array of handguns and it seems that...

    The sun was shining on me last Friday

    I ran into what I considered a good deal Friday also. The State Gaming Commission (casinos and such) used to carry Sig Sauer P230 SL in 380. Well, they traded them in. Well one of the ones that they traded in, had not been shot. The others were obvious with the holster wear. But this one...

    HP crushing problem?

    I've had this happen with Nosler 300 grain bullet in the 44 magnum. I seat and crimp in separate steps so that is not the problem. It seems to be a problem with the seating stem. I have the rounded on in it right now and basically it just rounds the exposed lead section and leaves a VERY...

    Used .454 Cassul options

    I don't know what the prices you are looking at are but $2000 for a used FA is robbery. I paid 1200 for my 7.5" Premier with 3 boxes of factory blue box freedom arms ammo last year. The guy had shot 18 rounds out of one box and decided it wasn't for him. I routinely see them go for $1000-1200...

    Bond Derringer

    I had one in 44 magnum. With a 240 XTP loaded over 24.5 grains of 296, it would definetely get your attention. Downright painful if you didn't hold it right. It was a neat novelty item but not very practical. GS

    44 mag heavy slugs?

    The bullet that Mike had pictured there is the RCBS 313 that LAH sells as he mentions. I ordered some from Lynn for my 10.5" SBH and it loved them. With 21.5 grains of 296, I was getting a consistent 1430 fps at the muzzle and was shooting groups under 2" with regularity at 100 yards from the...

    Need advice/info on a Freedom Arms revolver, Please.

    Like someone mentioned, the model you saw is a 83. I have a Premier 454 Casull with 7.5" barrel and black micarta grips that I paid $1200 for last year. The fellow bought the gun and three 50 round boxes of factory ammunition. He fired the gun 15 times. I love this gun. They are probably...

    Your Most Accurate Handguns?

    Hands down it would be my Freedom Arms 454 7.5" barrel. With 300 Grain XTP Magnums over 32 grains of 296, it will easily keep all five shots in 1"-1.5" at 100 yards off the bench. By far, my most accurate revolver. Accuracy and power in the same gun are hard to beat......GS

    Black Widow Ammo Test

    I bought a box of 500 gold dots for my 3AT from Ammoman.com and they shoot great out of my gun. I have not had any extraction or feeding problems so far. I've also shot the UMC ammo from my gun. The only thing I did was clean it and polish the ramp and chamber when I bought the gun. Very...

    How good of a shot were you before you....

    Man, go buy the 1911 for goodness sakes. I love mine and will probably pick up another one soon. I saw a Kimber tactical that has caught my eye. Just picked up a new Glock 32 (357 Sig) yesterday and it is super nice but doesn't have the "feel" of the 1911. My 1911 will shoot outstanding...

    H&g #68

    Lynn Halstead sells them. His company is Dry Creek Bullet Works. All of the bullets I've seen of his are top notch. He has a website at www.creeker.net Very good guy to do business with and highly recommended. Glenn S Looks like his price is $5/100 or $20/500

    .454 vs. .480 vs. .500 vs. ?

    I've have 44s and a Freedom Arms in 454 but I used to have a 480 and am looking at ordering a 475 Linebaugh. The 454 is my favorite by far. Very versatile. Plinking loads of 255 for 1200 fps which isn't shabby anyway up to 335s at 1500 or 265s at 1900 or 300s at 1700. Your choice. The 480...
