Just shot my "new to me" Blackhawk 45 ACP/LC. Love it, but it seems too small in my hand. I wear large size gloves usually and have long fingers. My pinky ended up under the gun. Also seemed too narrow. Would the hogue monogrip be an improvement? This gun is a paper puncher only. Looks...
I just bought a used Blackhawk. I chose a "convertible" model because I liked the idea of being able to use 45 ACP and 45 Colt (LC) by simply switching matched cylinders. I also chose one with a 7.5" barrel because its use was going to be a paper puncher. I paid $365 and think I got a good...
I am sure his study considered:
And if more housholds had guns would this number go up or down? And if every household had a gun and people properly trained to use it effectively, would the number of attacks buy "armed assailaints" go up or down?
What was the root cause of these deaths...
I ordered 2 sets of lee dies on 6/25. Got the same notice as you. I called Monday to see when it would ship, they said it already had and gave me tracking number. Was delivered today. Hope yours comes soon.
Ok, so I have reloaded 50 rounds for my 9mm and w/o having shot them I am working on 45 LC for a Ruger Blackhawk w/ 7.5" barrel.
I bought 500 255gr 0.452" LSWC with a Brinell of 12 (Cowboy #9) from www.missouribullet.com
I weighed them to the nearest 2/10ths:

I emailed Kead w/ my order. Didn't hear back. I called, but the voice mailbox was full. So I sent another email saing forget the order and I ordered from http://www.missouribullet.com/. They shipped next day.
Its Lee 3 die set vs Lee 4 die set. Again, cost is an issu and I save about $10/set. Does it matter that most if not all my reloads will be cast lead? Thought I rmember somone saying they cast lead + Lee FCD was bad?
Is it worth it for 45 ACP?
What about 45 Colt (LC)?
I am a paper puncher only, but not a competative one. Will the crimp in the 3 die sets be fine or should I get the 4 die sets?
And yes, price is an issue after just buying a new gun and all the other reloading supplies for 2 new...
I hate paying the hazmat fee especially for small quantities to ship.
Not to picky about primer, but would like Bullseye and Trail Boss powders.
Any retailers that you know of that stock it in preferably the south Orange County area? Will travel if needed, although the cost of gas is...
Ruger Blackhawk, 45 LC / 45 ACP, blued, 7.5" barrel, $365 shipped. Done deal. Will update after receipt and 10-day waiting period.
Thank you all again for the comments.
If only I didn't live in the "People's Republic of California", I would have a lot more choices.

I am sure this will surprise some of you, but getting a hand gun is much more difficult than just making sure it doesn't hold more than 10 rounds. It has to be on a special "safe list"...
Wow. Thank you for so many replies. Lots of recommendations for the 1911. No surprise there. And I really enjoyed shooting both of the kimber 1911s. I have tried to look up information on the web for some of the alternatives. Kalifornistan does not allow some of the guns like the EAAs or...
I have a single action revolver(22lr), Browning Challenger(22LR), CZ75 (9mm), Marlin 7000t (22LR)
I punch paper holes. Hunting is unlikely. Self Defense is just as unlikely.
My brothers both have Kimber 45 ACPs that I enjoy shooting. We have friendly competitions at ranges, etc.
I'd...
