I have a .45 ACP Taurus 24/7 long slide that shoots low no matter what I put through it. Semi-Wadcutter, 200 grain ball, 230 grain ball. Any idea if there are replacement front sights that will work with the 24/7 so I don't have to file down the front sight or hold high? The Doc is out...

We tried something different at the local range this week. The Hancock County Gun Club of Carthage, IL. has a monthly meeting on the 3rd Wednesday of the month. Prior to the meetings we try to have some sort of shooting event and maybe some food to go with it. This month, we tried something...

Can't figure out where to put it here, so I'll just announce it here. The Hancock County Gun Club of Carthage, Illinois is hosting the Midwest Big Bore Seminar featuring John Linebaugh of .475 and .500 Linebaugh Cartridge fame, on May 27, 28 and 29. 2011 More information is on the website...

I know we have seen posts about brass frames on revolvers before, but they have been about the frames failing for the most part (they don't). However, ol' Turner Kirkland used to say in his catalog that brass frame guns over time get out of time. How about it, any truth to that from you...

Okay folks, I have a question. Not getting gun magazines during the time when Ruger switched from Vaquero to New Vaquero, I don't know, and was not able to really find after a search here, the difference between New Vaquero and Vaquero. :confused: So what is the difference? Was the frame and...

Any idea of whether or not the Muzzleloading Forum has been hacked? The Doc is out now. :cool:

Friend of mine at the range told me of some place making vent plugs with attached tubes for flushing out a flintlock barrel. Said that if you tell them what gun you had, they could make the vent plug to fit. At the time, I was a little hot and tired and evidently, forgetful. Anybody here...

I asked this question on another forum, and so far have 24 views and no replies. I recently got to handle two brand-spanking new Taurus Tracker revolvers. One in .22 and the other in .44 Mag. With both I was able to wiggle the cylinder from side-to-side when the hammer was back and the...

There was a Muzzleloading Buffalo Shoot at my local gun club this last weekend. Shooters were gunning for metallic silhouettes with conical balls at 100 yards and round balls at 75 yards. Though there were not many shooters, there was a variety of long guns, ranging from modern inlines with...

Took both of my kids ages 11 and 13, out to the range yesterday. With all that they do (football, track, volleyball, band and basketball) it is hard to find time sometimes to get them out there. Brought along two Ruger 10/22's, one the compact model I got for them with an older model Weaver...

Remember that Johnny Cash song, "One Piece At A Time"? Been thinking about getting a black rifle. One big thing holding me back, lack of larger positive cash flow. I was thinking about getting a lower end AR in price. Then I thought, instead of getting a lower end AR, what about getting it...

Had it out for some competition this morning. Pistol Bowling. It was hitting right on, better than I can hold it. No hiccups, ftf or fte. Came in 3rd in my first event using a 1911 pistol. (I am used to revolvers and after 52 years of being on this earth, finally got a 1911 design). :D People...

There is a new movie coming out with Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie. It is called WANTED. In the movie, they teach a guy to "curve the bullet". So, holding the gun sideways (presumably because that is the way it comes out of the box) he whips the gun while shooting it and the bullet acts...

Now I will preface this with the statement that I am not a 1911 shooter. I started with revolvers and my biggest semi-auto until recently was a P85 9mm Ruger bought way back when the P85 had been out for a year. So I picked up a Taurus PT1911 the other week, the stock blued model. Today was...

Occaisionally, the gun club I belong to has a Rotten Egg Shoot. We hang eggs that are superglued to strings and try to shoot them with .22's as they swing in the wind. We have them hung at 25 and 50 yards. Now I had gotten one of those Wally World Ruger 10/22 Rifles, the one with the long...

Okay. Model 66 Smith - no dash. Well used and carried as a duty weapon for 7 years. (by me) The question is: Leave it as is, or, polish it like the stuff Gunkwazy has posted here before to that nice, shiny polish. Reason I ask. Gun has some value as a collector piece now, despite being...

:confused: Okay, I just have to wonder. Just how many ex-Nazi wartime handguns are out there? Looking at certain models, (HSc, Browning 1922, PPK's, etc...) especially on Gunbroker, a great majority seem to have German military marks. I just have to wonder how many of these are phonys, stamped...

Found this today. Could not believe the hype that was being given this gun. Looks like it is from the earlier line of Korth's. Almost looks like RG influence there. :what: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=92284442 Whaddya y'all think? :confused: The Doc is out now. :cool:

Found this in the news. Thought it was interesting from the standpoint of do as I say, not do as I do. No Guns Founder Pleads to Gun Charges LOS ANGELES (AP) -- A former gang member who founded an anti-violence group called No Guns has pleaded no contest to federal weapons charges...

After searching the Speer webpage, I take it that they have discontinued the 88 grain hollow point .355 (.380/9mm) bullet, the cone-shaped bullet. Anybody know about this? The Doc is out now. :cool:
