.45 colt

    Will .45 +P, .45 Super and .45 Colt +P have commercial success?

    It seems that high pressure cartridges that are designed not to chamber in barrels that are marked for their low-pressure equivalents, do better on the market. Eg .44 Mag, .357 Mag. But for .45 ACP and .45 Colt, their +P equivalents are not designed 'not-to-chamber' in pre 90s guns. That in, my...

    Which .45, Redhawk or S&W 25 Series?

    I'm on the verge of finally being able to buy my big, modern DA revolver in .45 Colt, something I've been waiting for a long time. Ruger and Smith both make good guns, and this is easily going to be the most expensive gun purchase of my life, maybe the most expensive I'll ever make (unless I...

    Ordered a SilencerCo Hybrid 46 today.

Hopefully @MachIVshooter will have time to thread some Marlin barrels for me in the...

    Sending another revolver to Bowen Classic Arms Corp.

    A couple of years ago I sent a Ruger Super Redhawk Alaskan to Bowen Classic Arms to have him convert it to a 4" barreled model. He did a fantastic job and now I'm sending the Ruger Redhawk out this coming Monday. There isn't much that he can do but it will come back in better shape than when...

    .45 colt reloading data

    I have a Speer manual and it doesn't really have the info I'm looking for. I'm trying to load a 255 gr LSWC Keith style with Universal. The Speer manual I have has a 255 gr LSWC, but the overall cartridge length is 1.65 or something and when I seat the bullets I have to the crimp groove I'm...
