OK...I am contemplating an XDM as my next handgun purchase. I've decided it WILL be .40 caliber and it WILL have a stainless slide. I am torn between the OD green and the black. I am oddly attracted to the OD green. I don't know why...can't put my finger on it but it just looks GOOD to me. So...

The front sight blade that came on my new Stainless Bisley Blackhawk 5.5 incher is BENT. I figure if I have to buy a replacement blade I may as well get something a little higher viz. I think I'd like a red one. The blade is pinned in place. Where can I get one that will drop in?

I finally got to shoot my new SP101. I bought a 3 incher as a "companion piece" to my tried and true 2 & 1/4 . The 2 incher will now be my primary Summer Carry gun while the new 3 incher becomes my Winter/Jacket weather Carry Gun. While I love the two inch gun I always thought the 3 inch looked...

OK, I just made my first attempt at hand polishing my SP101 with Mothers Mag polish and a couple of micro-fiber cloths. This took about 90 minutes. I'm moderately pleased with the result. It doesn't look like high gloss chrome like some of the photos I've seen but this was less than two hours...

I haven't bought any new ammo in years and now I can't seem to find ANY of what I want anywhere! What's the deal? :banghead: Midway is out of stock on any of the ammo I want! Here is a list of what I'm after in order of preference: 1) Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel Ammunition 135 grain .357...

Since I'm considering buying another gun in a few months I been hanging around here a lot more lately. Been looking at a lot of pictures here and other places. One thing I've always known but had honestly forgotten about over the years is just how beautiful many revolvers are....and inversely...

So one of the big advantages to Ruger's grip frame/peg design SHOULD be that a grip can be virtually any size/shape. So do why do all the grips out for the GP100 (including the otherwise excellent Hogue monogrip) come in a big ugly square butt shape? I want a "combat" grip shaped like the...

I really want a GP100 with a 3 inch barrel and adjustable sights. Did they once offer this config? I know they don't now. I like the look of the 3 inch fixed site and love the full-lug barrel. But what I'm concerned with is POA/POI when using the lighter bullet loads I prefer (110, 125, 135...

Anyone else notice an increase in inconsistantly loaded factory ammo? Like today for instantce I was shooting some Remington 125 grain Golden Saber .357 Magnums and it was kind a like this: 1) boom 2) boom 3) boom 4) BOOOOM! 5) boom 6) boom The rest were very consistant recoil and...

Check it out people: http://webhobbit.net/intro.html I just added a ton of new pictures to my Gun Gallery. My wife took some pretty nice shots of all 4 of my handguns. I set them up in the backyard & they turned out really well I think. Natural light is just way easier to deal with than...

I work at warehouse. For years I have "carried" my gun in a locked bag hidden inside another bag (camera type thing) in my car during work hours. Guns/weapons are NOT allowed inside the warehouse. This is posted and also stated in documents signed at time of employment. No documents...

After the recent surprise I got when S&W informed me that I had eroded the forcing cone on my 640 J-Frame by shooting too many Magnums through it I got to wondering how my other S&W .357s will hold up. I know the L-Frame was designed to solve the K-Frame .357 problem but I'm still wondering...

I'm getting ready to totally revamp/expand the Gun Gallery on my site. I notice some people here on THR (and other places) always blur out the serial numbers of their guns when they post pics. Why is that? What can a bad guy do wth that info exactly? Here in Indiana there is no actual...

You all remember my 5 inch 686? It came with High Viz front sight with V notch rear: As it turns out I just HATE these sights! I am really used to my older 686's red-ramp with square rear with white-outline. Can I buy a set of the red (or orange)-ramp/white-outline deal and...

Any other gun-guys here that are also comic-readers/collectors? If so check this out and give me a hand over here: http://www.newsarama.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4271

I got to fire a few rounds of Magnum fodder through my new SP101 today and I have to say that Ruger beats the snot out of S&W now for a number of reasons (lack of the silly lock is one) but the number one reason is the grip stud design. When I shoot a S&W revolver I HAVE TO have grips that...

I've bought two new guns in the last couple of weeks & I've had some HORRIBLE luck buying grips for them! 1) bought a beautiful Acusport Ruger Bisley .44 Magnum. I thought a set of Hogue Ebony wood groups would like nice on the stainless gun. So I ordered some. 50.00 bucks straight down...

I shot my shiny new .44 Magnum Ruger Bisley at an indoor range not too long ago. I fired about 70 rounds of Federal American Eagle 240 grain Magnums. I was pretty pleased with the gun and my first time shooting it. One of my buddies (THR's Glocksman) who came along complained to me later...

I sent my 640 J-Frame .357 off to S&W. I had requested a refinishing job as well as a tune-up/action job. Well they finally sent me an estimate via snail-mail (even though all my previous contact was through e-mail). I will type here EXACTLY what the letter says (spelling errors and all)...

What happened to Bull-X? I can't get their site to load. Are they still in biz? I'm looking to load up some .44 Magnum loads using a 240 grain SWC at about 1100 FPS. If not Bull-X what brands of cast bullets would you all recommend? I want something hard enough to go 1100 without leading...
