If they make the cartridge with a cheaper aluminum case they are going to reduce the cartridge cost. So one has to think what else are they cheapening up??? The powder??? the primers?? They are going for the cheapest cartridge they can make and sell for the cheapest price.

I got a 10-5 in 1979 from a fellow that borrowed $50 from me since he said he couldn't pay me back the $50. It was like new then but I sold it in 2014 along with most of the many guns that I had.

Be careful keeping the gun in its box. They have a tendency to rust on the side touching the liner in the box. You can put it up a little on toothpicks so it doesn't touch the liner.

Absolutely true, but a lot of guys think Mobil 1 is 100% synthetic which is not. There are only 4 oil manufacturers that make 100% synthetic and Amsoil, Penzoil, Royal Purple (don't remember the 4th one). However I have used Amsoil since they started making it till last year. Now I use Penzoil...

I don't know what bullets are in my 38, I have loaded it with whatever I had around a year or so ago. I'm sure that I bought a box of bullets based on price and that is what is in the gun. I figure that any bullet that I shoot at the bad guy will do the job.

Since there are 2 versions just buy them both and when you find out which one fits just send the other one back for a refund.

What do I have to do to get a letter on my old gun?

I believe you can buy checkering tools at Numrich. Not really that hard to do but takes a lot of time because you have to work slowly. I think they have a video on rechecking too.

Personally I wont buy a gun without some sort of safety, preferably a thumb safety. I don't like the grip safety on some pistols, just prefer a thumb safety on at lease one side of the gun.

I looked at the S&W guns and also the 7.5" Ruger Super Redhawk. I ended up buying the Super Redhawk and the 5.5" Redhawk. It was the trigger that convinced me to buy these. The trigger on the Redhawks is the best, smoothest, most perfect trigger of any production gun out there.

I really like my BG2 with safety. However I had to send it back because I could not rack the slide. 10 days later it was returned with a note that they could not duplicate the problem. It seems that I'm too old and don't have the strength to do it. I got the "Handi- racker" and that worked on my...

I used to do woodworking but not that type to make boxes and such. But the one you made is very nice (coming from an old woodworker). Can't wait till you show us how you make them.

Any gun that works

Nice ivory grips

I have for many many years wanted a Luger, however I could never bring myself to pay the really high prices they want for one. Now around 2k to even 17k for one. So I bit the bullet and bought a Stoeger 22 cal Luger for $360. It has the steel receiver so it should last a little while. Now I need...
