    Starting Load for P-95

    The load that you have listed is what I use in my P95. Your P95 will operate consistently with much less powder than what is required for a Sig, Glock or S&W 9mm. When I shoot my P95 with that load there is very little recoil. It is a great load for plinking. If you do have any feeding...

    Grips for a Taurus 85

    You might want to try a pair of the Hogue full length rubber grips. Not the Boot Grip, but the full size grip that allows you to grip the gun with all of your fingers. The rubber grip will allow your wife to fire the gun without hurting her hand and it will also protect your middle finger...

    Uberti 1873 cattleman help needed

    Here is a website that shows how to take the SAA style gun apart: http://warlockfirearms.blogspot.com/2010/06/colt-single-action-revolver-disassembly.html I have a Cimarron Model P and put one of the Heine trigger/bolt springs into it and am very pleased with the trigger/bolt performance. I...

    Taurus 66 HELP!

    Is the gun new or used? If it is used, the previous owner probably had the sideplate off and did not reassemble the gun properly. I believe that the forwardmost screw in the sideplate, the one in front of the trigger on the right side of the gun, is what holds the crane in place. Check to...

    Confused female (me) needs advice selecting a gun

    Make sure that you can pull the trigger in double-action on a revolver, before you buy it. Double-action is where you don't cock the hammer first. I say this, because my wife can't shoot a revolver in double-action. She is just not strong enough. She also has trouble pulling the slide back...

    Hammer spring for Colt SAA-clone

    I put one of the Wolff reduced power springs in my Cimarron Model P about a year ago and have not had one light strike. I didn't have any before I replaced the spring either. I don't think you can go wrong by repacing the factory spring with one of the Wolff's.

    Dillon scale won't zero

    Brian, have you recently removed the beam to clean the scale? I believe that the beam is magnetically dampened. The copper colored metal part that sticks out of the back of the beam near the pointer end is part of the magnetic dampening system. I remember one time I took the beam off of mine...

    What would cause leading inside of forcing cone only?

    I have searched the forum for an answer and have not found it. I have a .357 Magnum caliber 4 5/8" Cimarron colt clone. I have always shot jacketed or plated bullets in it because I don't want to deal with leading. A couple of months ago I bought 500-158 grain lead bullets from Missouri...

    Best "Starter" Gun For a Noobie

    Before you buy your wife a revolver, make sure that she is strong enough to pull the trigger in double-action. I am not joking, my wife cannot pull the trigger on any of my double-action revolvers. I thought that she was messing with me when she told me she couldn't do it years ago, but she...

    Thinking about a chrony

    I have had a Shooting Chrony F1 for about five years now and it works fine for what I need. I shoot factory rounds and then compare my loads to the velocity of the factory rounds. When I use the Chrony in the sun, I tape cardboard on top of the shields to make sure that the sensors are...

    Berry's Plated Bullets issue?

    The copper is applied using an electrolytic process. This is a process where a current is applied using a DC power supply. A copper anode is connected to the positive terminal on the power supply. This copper anode dissolves during the plating process and replenishes any copper that is...

    THR Discount Offer from Missouri Bullet Company

    I just received my first order from Missouri Bullet Co. yesterday. The box was completely intact with no damage. I just wanted to post this because I have read on other posts that people have received shipments from MBC and their box was ripped open. Some even lost bullets during shipment.

    Heavier357 bullets

    I have a Cimarron Model P with a 4 5/8" barrel. With 158 grain bullets it hits the bullseye level of the target in elevation at ten yards. It shoots lower with lighter bullets, as expected. I have not touched the front sight. My problem is that is shoots to the left. It shoots about...

    Help me choose bullet for .357 carbine

    RNFP bullets feed the best in my .357 magnum Marlin 1894C. RN don't feed as well, for some reason. An overall cartridge length of 1.55" feed the best for my 38 special loads.

    .9mm Kurz?

    "Kurz" is just the German word for "short". It just means 9mm short. That is what the Europeans called 380 ACP. They are one and the same. You can actually shoot a 380 ACP round in a 9mm, but I would not recommend it. I did it one time when my wife and I were shooting together and had...

    Does anyone use Win. 231 for 357 Magnum?

    I see on the Hodgdon web site that there is load information for using Winchester 231 and HP38 for a 158 grain bullet in 357 magnum. But my Lyman manual only lists Win. 231 for use with a 110 gr. JHP in 357 magnum. The Lyman manual does not list any load info for any other bullet weights in...
