Do Remington 1100 Magnum (3") barrels work with Rem 1100 standard (2 3/4") receivers? The Rem 870 magnum barrels sure do seem to work on my 870 standard receivers without any issues. But I have never disassembled and examined an 1100 magnum and compared it with the standard length receiver...

FTR This is less a "how-to" than a "Here is where you find the information you need, so check it out, learn how it works, and then make it happen." TL;DR I forgot how easy the 92 was to smith on. Go ahead and buy some Harbor Freight quality punches & driver/bit set and some abrasive...

1. I was wondering if any of y'all had experience with snap-on / quick-detach strong-side OWB holsters for all-steel service-sized semi-autos or revolvers? Both as to general experiences and experience with any particular models. 2. Any experience with the El Paso Saddlery Snap-Off Elite or...

Howdy: I am looking for commercially-loaded standard pressure .38 Special 158gr semi-wadcutter ammo suggestions. I suppose I could also be satisfied with one of the loads that use a wide, flat nose. I have seen those in cast lead and jacketed examples. in the past. Cowboy action RNFP is...

Howdy: Due to the current craziness, I have not been able to find my favorite magnum powder, 2400. So I picked up some H110 and am planning some load development. I plan on shooting 240gr LSWC Hitek coated out of the .44 and 158gr LSWC Hitek coated out of the .357. The starting loads, when...

Howdy: INTRO (Feel free to skip to content below) I finally decided to take the progressive plunge. I have experience with mostly RCBS and Lee gear. I do love my Rock Chucker (except for de-priming). And I own a Lee Hand Press, Reloader press, and Challenger O-press (the heart of my portable...

Howdy: QUESTION Are taper crimps OK for HBWC and DEWC seated flush in .38 Special or .357mag? Mostly to iron out the flare on the case mouth. BACKGROUND Given uncertain wadcutter availability, my plan is to try to be sort of wadcutter-agnostic, in that I want to have the same load setup for...

Howdy, Do any of you all know of any lightweight gun oil you could suggest? Primary use as lube & protectant. My Remington 1100 likes its lube light. Can shhot low brass and no brass cheap and light shells if the lube is not heavy. Growing up that meant WD40. Later my preference was Rem...

Howdy: Does Colt build a quality 1911 nowadays? Growing up, Colt build quality was considered a joke. Colt seems to have more models and I have heard they might not be hunks of junk.

A while back my wife voiced interest in a home defense long gun. Tried several options: lever-action carbine, AR15, Mossberg not-a-SBS with not-a-stock, and 12ga shotgun. The 12ga was what she liked best, given her wing-shooting experience. So, I found a way to get my wife into a 12ga...
