I've never found a reason to remove the cylinder for cleaning and S&W advises against that level of disassembly in the owners manual.

I recently purchased the PC version and regretted having the porting on the first trip to the range. When clearing a loaded chamber after knocking down the plates I like to grab the front half of the slide so the live round ejects into the palm of my hand instead of into the air and onto the...

I go though about 4 boxes of SD ammo per year in my primary ccw firearm. About every other trip to the range I shoot the magazine that's in the gun before switching to reloads for the session. I guess I just want to reaffirm that my SD ammo is shooting about the same point of impact as my...

I probably have about 2000 of each of 380, 9mm, 45ACP, 38 Special and 357 mag each in a separate bin. I don't rotate anything. I clean after returning from the range and dump it in the bin.

I don't understand what was miserable about it. I load 380s and they are about the easiest to load since you don't have much brass being forced into a sizer ring. They are also dirt cheap to reload compared to buying the cheapest factory rounds. Even if I never picked up my brass, I could...

Occasionally at the range I will take my hearing protection when the range goes cold to talk to someone. On more than one occasion I have forgot to put them back on when starting to shoot again.

You need to spend less time on the Brady Campaign forums and blogs because it seems you are being fed a bunch of nonsense.

I just put them in a tumbler of corncob with a cap of Nu Finish liquid car wax and let it run over night.

"clean" is very subjective

I would abandon the Glasers and any other such political gimmick. You can select a round that will stop a threat OR you can select a round that won't penetrate an apartment wall; you can't have both.

Nickle plating is considerably harder than brass and more prone to fatigue cracking due to being re-sized and crimped.

I load 6.5 231 with 158 grain jacketed for a my Marlin lever gun just because it feeds 357s better than 38s. Great load.

There are 2 types of banned. Banned by rule of law is what Florida J Frame posted and a violation can lead to a criminal conviction. Banned by policy of the property is not a criminal offense in Florida as far as I can tell. Disney is an example of a policy ban. If you are caught violating...
