    Anybody ever worn out a .357 J Frame?

    I'm thinking about one of the steel J frames in .357, Model 60 I think they are. Is this a carry a lot and shoot a little proposition or can I shoot the snot out of it, have it rebuilt and shoot it some more? I know the popular wisdom is to get an SP-101 if you're going to shoot it a lot, but...

    J frame light primer strikes?

    I just got my little 432PD and got to shoot it this last week with a small problem. Two or three rounds per cylinder won't fire due to the light firing pin strikes, barely any mark on the primers at all. Tried two different brands of ammo with no difference so I'm confident that it's not hard...

    Coating/Plating Alloy guns

    Hi All, Looking for feedback from folks that have had Aluminum or Scandium framed guns done up in any of the super coatings. Metalife, Robar, Birdsong, etc... how do they hold up? Anybody done a titanium cylinder in anything. Rolling over a project gun in my mind and looking for...

    Fixed Power Scopes

    I'm in the market for a blued fixed power scope for a single shot rifle in .357 Mag. I'm thinking a 2 or 2.5x would be good for this application. Any strong contenders I should look at? I'm wanting to spend maybe $100-150 on it. can I get quality at that level?

    17HMR, 22WMR, or .223?

    Ok, here's the background, I'm not a rifle guy and I'm not sure I ever will be but I want to go out and do a little varmint shooting with a lean towards Coyote. I'm not spending a grand on a high end rifle and scope combo as my money is needed for my revolver habit. I can shoot decently at...

    Chokes with a short barrel?

    Ok, would having a short barrel cut for choke tubes give me anything performance wise? If an 18 1/2" barrel with choke tubes will offer no advantages, what about a 20" or in general is there a barrel length that is too short for choke to make a difference in patterns? Let's assume the 18...

    Durability of J frame finish (Black)

    Hi all, I'm looking at getting one of the alloy J frames that come with the black finish on them and wanted some idea of the durability. Any body have pictures of a "well loved" piece? How does the alloy underneath hold up after the black is gone?

    Mossberg 500 Barrel ?

    Hi All, I bought an 18.5" barrel for my sons 20ga. Mossberg 500 and when I put it on I noticed something. There is a slight gap between the barrel lug as it screws into the mag tube. I thought it looked odd so I put the longer 24" barrel back on it and noticed the same gap. Was the gap...

    Hi-Viz sight replacement?

    I got a little J-frame ultra light .22lr on a trade and I really think it's a great gun but I hate the Hi-Viz front sight. Works great, but the look just doesn't do it for me. Anybody know of any replacement I could find? I emailed S&W and the response was that due to the way the sight cut...

    Ruger Bearcat

    Anybody know a gunsmith that will work on a Bearcat? I'm looking for some custom work done on a new stainless one and can't find anybody interested. I want it rechambered to .22Mag (preferably linebored) and J-frame sights added to it. Not too big of a task I imagine but then again I could be...

    Almost a .41 Mag disaster

    Finally got a squib load after about 20 years. Went to the range tonight with my kids and was shooting my Blackhawk in .41 mag with a mild load of 2400 behind a 215 gr Lasercast semiwadcutter when I got a dud primer or so I thought. Oh well, just wait 'till it comes around again and see if it...

    Finally got my new toy.

    I finally got a revolver that I've been on the hunt for a very long time for now and thanks to this forum I now own it. :D The object of my joy is a Ruger SP-101 in 9mm with the 2 1/4" barrel. I've wanted one of these for about 10 years now and could never find one until now, I picked her...

    Auto ejecting pumpgun?

    Sound funky? I thought so too. I've got a Winchester 1200 that I've had for years running a 26" barrel and have had no problems whatsoever. I just switched to an 18" cylinder bored barrel as I have interest in making it a HD weapon and now everytime I shoot it I basically get an auto eject...

    Big Game / Little Gun

    Anybody taken game with a .410? Anybody taken a deer with .410 slugs? No, I'm not advocating it at all just wondering if anybody has seen it. I reload .410 for my little Springfield Armory M6 and was wondering today why the .410 is in so many guns built as "Survival Weapons". I personally...

    Got a new barrel and a ?

    I got a new barrel for my Winchester 1200 today off Ebay. I got an 18.5" cylinder bore. Boy does it transform the gun from its original 28 incher. I've gotten into Trap shooting and am looking at getting a trap gun and plan to use the Winchester for HD and possible three gun work. My...

    Went Trapshooting today

    First time I ever shot Trap and really enjoyed it. I met a great bunch of guys who were very helpful. I found out we have a very old and highly regarded Trap club here in Sacramento, been there since 1915 and is very nice with clubhouse, pro shop, and 10 Trap ranges. I've joined the...

    New to Shotguns with ?'s

    Hi Guys, Pardon the intrusion from the handgun forums, but I'm needing some shotgun help. I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that a shotgun may be as versatile as people have been saying for years. :o I've had a dislike for shotguns for a long time which probably stems from poor...
