John, stop with the lie. The word mint or anything like that never came up on either side during the phone call. Since You insist on playing the victim here, I too can blow up pictures enough to show some flaws. This is as big as photo bucket would let me make them. (sorry I'm not photoshop...

I've been trying to work this out with him since yesterday. Since he's decided to take this public, I'll respond as well. I've offered to trade back but I asked if I could examine it before I send the other back as it didn't look like that when it left my possession. He didn't want to send any...

My friend, most gunfights don't last that long.

I bought one for my wife last year as a carry gun. Took it to the range to test fire. Started at 15 yds off of a rest. Couldn't hit a 8"x11" target with two mags. Moved to 10 yds, same thing. It functioned fine, just couldn't hit anything with it. Went to 3 yds. Still couldn't hit a 8"x11" paper...

I've never understood the "don't carry one in the chamber" crowd. Probably never will. I agree, Carry your weapon any way you like. It's your life. Or your family's , or both. Either way, it's not going to affect me much, if at all. Give this some thought though the next time you step out of the...

No sorry, no boxes. (wish there was) Just like you see them..

I know selling these will haunt me for years but... First up is a S&W model 10-8, 3" HB, K frame/round butt in 38 special. Beautiful shape, inside & out. (one of my most favorite & accurate guns) It comes with a nice leather holster for 4" K frame & a speed loader...$475.00/shipped to your...

I'm looking for a set of Jerry Miculek grips for my N frame 625. Laminated would would my first choice but the plain ones are fine as well.

RCBS, hands down.

I'm sure most everyone here knows there are only two ways to stop a living creature. Hitting the central nervous system or blood loss. So, as some have stated, the main thing that counts is shot placement. It is EVERYTHING. People have been killed with virtually every caliber known to man...

Your reading it correct. The 45 Super is basically a 45 "magnum" using a 45 ACP length case. You can't use regular 45 ACP cases though, as the walls are too thin. You can buy 45 Super cases or you can make them yourself. I did this for years with .451 Detonics magnum cases. When they dried up I...

Is this data specifically for the 4" HB? I have a 3" HB model 10-8 & am curious about it's year of production.

My load for a 230g bullet is 12g of HS-6. It gets me right around 1200 FPS out of my 5" Colt. Although I rarely load 185g bullets, I have had them reach 1500 FPS with 15g of HS-6. No pressure signs but my 1911 got really snappy! I found that 13-14g of HS-6 is a good working load for the 185g...

My search-Fu seems to be lacking, so perhaps you can help answer my question. I've been shooting 45 Super's in my Colt 1911 for 23 years now so I'm familiar with the cartridge. I recently purchased a 625-3 & the 45 Super seems like it would be an ideal match for the N Frame. My question is, have...
