Have an opportunity this weekend to purchase one of the following: Sig Sauer P220 in .45cal, Sig Sauer P226 in 9mm or Sig Sauer P239SAS in .357 SIG. Use: CC and target shooting, non compete. Which would you buy (remember, only 1. Or, I suppose, none...:confused:)

The following has also been published on The Firing Line and Black Powder Times black powder forums: The discussion (sometimes debate and, thankfully rarely, argument) in the black powder forums regarding what company is the 'better' manufacturer of firearms is seemingly endless. This is...

Checked the PO Box yesterday and today, no entries. :banghead: Come on guys, let's get shooting.

Rather than continue the hijack of the '58 Remmy observations thread, for which I apologize, I decided to start a new thread on this subject. I continue to be mystified as to the seeming obsession with max loads, which I define as stuffing all the highest energy powder you can possibly get...

Newbie to reloading here, except that I have been shooting black powder for 35 years. I guess I should say newbie to metallic cartridge loading. I read the new guy sticky at the top and I read ABC's of Reloading and I'm slowly accumulating equipment. But my first questions have to do with data I...

FYI, THR has just completed a migration of the THR databases to new servers. Unfortunately it appears that all posts, new members, PM's, etc. from yesterday (Friday, 13th May 2011) did not make the trip and are permanently missing. Permanent, that is, unless Derek completely redoes the...

What's your source for those dimensions?

Oh, dear me, I hope not. A bullet is a body of revolution - two of it's moments of inertia are equal. The only way such a body can create lift is by meeting the ambient streamlines with an angle of attack. Since it creates it's own streamlines by virtue of being accelerated to high velocity...

PUrchased Centaure s/n 8900 at auction this weekend. I am in the process of filling out the FROCS questionnaire. The gun was quite dirty, but very, very little corrosion, thankfully. The bore is pristine. One nipple was stuck and is currently soaking. I've completely disassembled...

Duplicate post. Apologies.

In the Official THR Walker thread a question was raised about posting pictures from Photobucket. This thread attempts to provide the details of that process. It expands on the information provided in the 'Posting Photos: 10 Easy Steps' by A. Walker. That post does not cover using Photobucket...

I'll assume by now that you've had a chance to look over the picture in Post #28 in the Colt Type Revolver Disassembly thread and read the descriptions of how to disassemble the gun. The hand spring that I believe is the cause of your problem is the spring attached to the hand assembly shown...

Here are the results of a survey of real black powder prices that I did while sitting in a motel room enroute to an auction last Friday. First, the price by supplier: Deleted, see Post #6 Here's the same data sorted by brand: Deleted, see Post #6 To save you some time (and your eyes) the...

In Post #778 on Rhe Official THR Walker Club thread Stephen Youngblood refers to an online publication entitled , by Joel Shapiro. I read the document and found it to be a very interesting and worthwhile treatment of the subject. I did, however, take exception to two statements he made. Mr...

A long time family friend has tickets to the last game in Yankee Stadium this coming Sunday. The wife and I are leaving on Thursday and driving out to meet him in Valley Forge on Saturday. Does anyone have any recommendations for worthwhile stops (bp shops/builders) in northern Ohio and across...

A thread for muzzleloading pistols (non-revolvers):

I posted this on another forum this morning, but I thought it might be applicable here also. I've only been at this 30 years, and hold no illusions about my ability to dryball - I can do it any time, any place, for no good reason at all. But this was a new experience: Technically it wasn't...

Assuming you could find one (I'm sure there is one in a museum somewhere), what is would be the price for a new, never been turned or fired, original 1858 Remington New Army?

In another thread member theblackmeow posted the following: In order to help him with his request and not hijack the other thread, I started this new one. theblackmeow - Pietta, and some other Italian replica makers, went through a period of poor quality during which 'soft' action...
