I have a Glock 30 and love it! But beware if you are going to carry it you better have a good belt and holster. The weight is about the same as a 1911 but it is not spread out. The gun can become very top heavy in the wrong carry setup

Not Smart! 38 is for 38 and 357 is for 357

I reload everything that I shoot that includes 380s. My guns are NOT high price (KelTec and Walther PPK) but they shot every time I pull the trigger. To be honest, the PPK has not left the safe in 4 to 5 years. The KelTec is with me everyday. It eats everything that I reload. Reloading in...

My first rule is ONE and only ONE powder on the bench at a time. Once through with the powder, it goes back into the container then into the cabinet. Then the next powder comes out.

i will pick up all the brass that I can find. Most of it is from people that just left BPS and shoot up what they just bought. Reloaders will pickup their brass. Every piece of brass (even mine) is tumbled for 4 hours then inspected while resizing them. Over the past 4 years, I nave not had...

Laserbeam, both. Trigger is a lot easier to pull.

Also, with light loads of Unique, it is dirty!!! The cases are black around the mouth. Not enough pressure to fully expand the brass to the cylinder wall. Per Nevada Ed's recommendation about powders Burn rates: Bullseye 10 Red Dot 17 231 40 700X 43 Green Dot 44 Unique 57

When loading Xtreme plated bullets, use data out of the Lyman Cast Reloading manual. 124 gn LSWC 4.4 1063 4.9 1159 Might want to double check those numbers

I have a 640 (38 only) and 642. Love the size of the guns. Last weekend shot both and the 640 out shot the 642. I did change the springs in the 640 with an Ampex kit. Made a huge difference. Going to see if Ampex makes a spring kit for the 642. I do love the grips on the Talo gun.

Reading through this thread, I am see members saying go to a lighter bullet if I am reading it right. My question and not wanting to derail the thread, this same thing was posted on a forum about a S&W 66 or 19 burning the top strap with lighter weight bullets. If I remember right, it was the...

Off BLUEBOOK VALUE OF GUNS. They are about 15 to 20% low in a lot of guns. Hope you can separate the values. All I could do is copy and paste. There was 3 different sections. MODEL 25 & VARIATIONS (1955 TARGET MODEL)Add to Collection .45 ACP, .45 Auto Rim, or .45 LC (earlier mfg.) cal...

I was thinking 350. BlueBook @ 90% has it 297 but thought that might be a little low.

I have a friend that brought over a Model 12-2 2" asking what do I think that he could get for the gun. It shows signs of holstering and lock up is not 100% but still very good. The serial # is D603XXX. Any ideas what the gun might be worth and the date it was born?

I am shooting a 5" 629 & 7.5 RSB. Tried to keep the rounds to around 900 to 1000 f/sec to punch holes in paper. Using a Missouri 240 SWC I had luck with: Blue Dot (14.0 Gn) 933 f/sec Unique (10.0) 937 800x (12.0) 1040 IMR 4227 (22.1) 1050 2400 (8.5) 1100
