My years of observation of myself and others shooting handguns comes down to this: Most handgun shooters are nowhere near proficient enough that the accuracy inherent in the gun and it's ammo is relevant.

The Herter's .401 PowerMag and the .41 Remington Magnum are very close in dimensions and ballistics, although George Leonard Herter beat Remington to the punch by 2 or three years. Reforming the .41 Remington Magnum case is the easiest way to make cases. Depending on your gun and lot of brass...

I have pulled the trigger on two of them. The first one did not get to the target 25 feet away. The second one stopped about 6 inches from the chamber. Needless to say, I was not impressed in a positive manner.

Frank-That is an amazing "trick" ... holding the pistol AND having the sights aligned while taking a photograph of them at the same time! This old guy can't hold a shot glass steady. Just for a point of reference, I think all guns are good. Some are better than others. Some are more...

Being in my middle sixties I have observed many things and as a good little boy I always took my mother's advice seriously. As a result I have come to some conclusions about life and more importantly society and human nature. My mother absolutely refused to talk openly about politics with...

There has been a feed throat kit available that will probably fix your problem. The replacement of the feed throat is pretty easy with simple hand tools.

They are difficult to find right now, but, the S&W M&P Shield would be a good choice. I have shot my brother's and for $50 more than the standard model the Performance Center Shield has bi-color fiber optic sights, improved trigger and vented barrel. That is a lot of add on for fifty bucks...

I had an interesting time at the range yesterday with my brother and the SR9C. It had been a number of months since I had fired the SR9C and since using it last I had mounted a Crimson Trace CMR-206 on the rail and wanted to get the laser zeroed in. Bob has a MTM pistol support and I fired...

Herter's had Rosewood grips available as an upgrade that were made in India and are so stamped inblack ink on the inside surface of the grip. Mine have shrunk up a bit over time and are about 1/16 of an inch shy of the grip frame all the way around. Luckily, I was also able to acquire a...

The Herter's centerfire single actions chambered in .357 Magnum, .44 Magnum and Herter's .401 PowerMag were made by Sauer and Sons in Western Germany. While there are two different roll marks on the barrel, there is a variation on the theme because of a Trademark infringement threat from Sturm...

That Weatherby rifle in lieu of interest on your money was an idea that a dear friend that was a former Browning Arms Co. Sales Rep. put together after he left Browning and moved back home to Montana after living in Minnesota and covering the five state area for Browning back in the 1970s...

"I personally would consider any handgun of modern manufacturer that would not handle +P ammo, in these chamberings at least, to be defective and would not purchase it." _____ Seriously? So,tell me how a product made to utilize industry standard ammunition is defective. Your above...

The R51 easily handles 9mm +P, and oddly enough the added impulse is completely damped out from the shooter's perspective by the unique action (it feels the same as standard, only louder, the few times I've ponied up to shoot the hot stuff) TCB _____ It is interesting you mention the R51...

Nice acquisition.

Newtosavage-Glad to hear there is progress being made.

I think if you go to any given manufacturer's website you will find that they will tell you if the ammunition meets SAAMI specifications that you can use it. The SAAMI specs. are what the guns are designed for. +P, +P+, etc. are not SAAMI spec. cartridges and it is anybodies guess what the...

I had an RSI in .243 years ago that I bought new. A beautiful rifle that I really liked ... except for one thing. I sighted in 1.5" high at 100 yards on a 95 degree F. day. When I went hunting here in Minnesota opening day was about -10 F. Late in the day I had a shot at about 130 yards from...

I had one years ago with the 3.5 inch barrel. I sold it in a weak moment and have kicked myself ever since. They are difficult to find in that kind of condition. Great find! If you want to part with it ... you know where the PM is to contact me.

It is nice to see some others join the 4,000 fps club. I have been more than happy with my .220 Swift. To aid longevity of barrel life I only shoot mine at targets over 300 yards. On certain days with the right conditions you can see a vapor trail going downrange.

At some point in time I read there are 20,000 gun laws in the US of A. If their wish for additions to this list are "common sense", then, what were the others? In the end the "common sense" reference from any lefty is just another word game attempting to convince those in the middle to their...
