    CCW permit info for holders of AZ cards

    I know there are at least a few of us here who live in AZ, and maybe even some out-of-state residents who hold an AZ permit, so thought I should pass this information along. My CCW permit was due to expire on 6/21 this year, and fortunately I'd learned that the renewal process had changed-- it...

    Was a little surprised to see this rifle in use by Russian forces

    From a Ukrainian Twitter feed just now: I've got one of those in my cabinet, though not the scoped version because they were pretty pricey back when 91/30 was cheap and easy to find.

    Taurus 327 range report

    Howdy all! As a certified card-carrying .32 Magnum fan, I'm always on the lookout for revolvers that can shoot the cartridge. It seems as though all the manufacturers are conspiring against me; it's rare that I see anything for sale out there, so when I saw a new Taurus in .327 at a local...

    Metal polishing question

    I know this kind of thing has to have been discussed often in this subforum, but my search skills seem to be failing me-- my apologies for dragging up something that's likely already here somewhere! I have some old revolvers I'm planning on Parkerizing next week, and some have...

    Update: Charter Professional problem solved

    Or solved well enough to suit me, anyway. After having the gun "repaired" under warranty for its sight regulation problem, it still shot 2 1/2" low. I noticed that the rear of the fiber optic was conical and the top was a little above the top of the metal part of the sight, but didn't think it...

    Navy Mk I Kabar

    I'm completely ignorant about military knives, but recently inherited one of these. The hard-shell sheath says NORD-4723 over B. M. Co., with an overlined 4 and VP with a star under each letter. The knife itself says U.S.N. MARK I on one side, and a PAL logo on the other with RH to its left and...

    CA Pink Lady .32H&R review

    My recently purchased CA .32H&R Professional is still at Charter, waiting for the sight alignment issue to be repaired. Fool that I am, I gleefully bought a bunch of brass for it the day it arrived, since I already had dies and projectiles from my .32 Long reloading. So now I had a bunch of...

    Chrono data on "hot" .32 Long

    I posted this as a response in another thread, and then realized that it might be worth its own thread so that anyone interested in this cartridge might see it. **This load is 0.3 grains higher than the maximum in the Speer manual for this type of bullet, and I am not recommending that you use...

    CA Professional range report

    Yeah, nah. With commercial ammunition, it shoots 6 1/2" low and 1 3/4" low on average at ten yards. The point of aim was the center of the upper target. I shot six rounds of hot .32 Long first; those are the higher ones. The bottom four are .32 Magnum (only loaded four). This was from a...

    Any favorite loads for .32 H&R?

    You know how it is. You've been where I am. Searching for a load, checking the books, checking the internet, and everything either wants a bullet I don't have or a powder I don't have. :oops: Powders available: Unique, HP-38/W231, and Titegroup. Well, and Pyrodex, but c'mon. Bullets available...

    Charter Arms .32H&R first impressions

    Before I start, I should mention that I've never owned or even examined a Charter Arms revolver before. Thus, some of the stuff I have to say will already be well-known to CA fans. I'd always been a bit leery of the brand because of the low price and a few disparaging comments on this and other...

    Hot .32 Long

    I just chronographed a .32 Long load that's 2.6gn HP-38, 100gn LRNFP, and got a whopping 686fps average. Having just ordered a CA .32 Pro in .32 H&R, I'm wondering if I can get away with kicking things up a notch in the .32 Long cartridge. Anybody have experience with such?

    Powder quiz!

    The photo below was taken after trying out my new-to-me Model 60 with a hundred rounds of .357. If a beam of light left the Berlin train station in the direction of Bern at the same time I took the photo, 1. How many apples does Janet have in her basket? 2. What powder did I load the .357...

    Some thoughts on a Microtech OTF

    I've been thinking thoughts about a Microtech for several months, since I first saw a mention here about them. Finally decided to get one, and this is the one I chose: Why, you ask, are there sloppily applied sections of grip tape? Well, it turned out to be really slippery, and most of the...

    A post-range-session epiphany

    I went shooting with a friend yesterday, and took along a few things for him to try out: Colt 1903, .32ACP Dan Wesson Valor V-Bob, .45ACP S&W Model 325PD, .45ACP S&W Model 67, .38 Special S&W Model 19 6", .357 Magnum As I was cleaning all the above, I reflected on how I'd done with each of them...

    Burris Fastfire 3 Adjustment

    I put a FF3 on a S&W 325 to do competition with, and am having a little trouble with the height adjustment. I've got it set as low as it will go, and it's still about 3" high at ten yards. The mounting plate is a Weigand "Weig-a-Tinny" and is flush to the topstrap. Anybody have any tips or...

    A dream come true!

    I've wanted one of these for a long time, and found one today: Colt Model 1903. These are chambered in the super-extra-dangerous .32ACP. The serial number says it was made in 1922. Yes, the bluing really does look that good, and on both sides too, which is kind of a shame because that means...

    ICORE question

    I've sent off my application for membership and am thinking about what revolvers I want to set aside and tweak for competition use. Do ICORE stages ever require single action fire? I have a S&W 15 that would be great for match shooting, but it's DAO. Thanks!

    I fear no field mouse!

    Found this little fellow today: Colt Model 1908 "Vest Pocket" in .25ACP. The silver dollar is for size comparison. If you're young, you might not know what a silver dollar is. Ask your grandpa. The serial number says this one is from 1912, which makes it my oldest 20th century gun...
