Springfield Hellcat w/o optic

Suddenly I am in to single actions only. Any idea what a 4" S&W model 57 no dash is worth?

Bald1 said: I agree 100%. I don’t think LE should have any privileges that I as a citizen do not have. It burns my A** to see things at gun shows marked LEO. A 30 rd mag for a 10/22 for example. Give me a break. I know a lot of cops. Many since high school. They’re no better...

Losing guns to thieves is the real problem.

Yet another good reason to NOT go to Canada.

I got all the bulk reloading out of my system 10 years ago. I had 2 Dillon 1050's with auto drive that produced 1000 rounds of 9mm each day that the switch was turned on. I had found that perfect brass is what it took to keep everything running. Now I only shoot 45 Colt and my 500's. My RCBS...

Since they came out I always have a 9mm Springfield Hellcat on my hip. Yes it is a light pistol and does recoil a bit but since shooting USPSA for a while it greatly improves shot placement as has been stated here so many times.

I can surely relate to the discomfort of the square trigger guard under even moderate recoil. I did get gloves but it didn't really solve the issue. Finally I purchased a stainless Bisley grip frame from Mid.. and problem solved. It took a bit of fitting but it was absolutely worth the effort...

I see some of the responses are a bit old but here goes. We're is a small Nev town but are somewhat close to reloading supplies. I have taken up shooting the 500 Linebaugh, yes I know it hurts a bit. I was told by RCBS that Carbide 500 Linebaugh sizing dies exist but haven't found one to...

The suggestion to slightly shorten the barrel is a good one and it probably won't cost that much.

I just sold my small Smith collection. I had 6" 25, 4" 25, 4"29-2, 6 1/2" 29-2, 6" 57 no dash, and I only have 1 left. It is a 4" 57 no dash but I may keep that one. Suddenly I am into single action 50 cals. Can't explain it.

My mom passed 7 tears ago and left me the Model 12 collection that was her fathers. Mostly 12 gauge but there are 2 Skeet Grade 28 gauge guns that are nearly perfect. The value of them is hard to nail down. Any help?

Retired in 2011 and ran (not walked) to the Reno NV area. I am a bit concerned about our firearms laws but I guess we'll see.

I've been thinking about a bit of hunting. I have a stainless Ruger Super Blackhawk Nimrod 500 Linebaugh from Bowen Classic Arms and two Ruger Super Blackhawk Nimrods from Jack Huntington (500 Linebaugh and a 500 JRH) that will arrive here in about 3-4 weeks. It should be interesting if nothing...

A little off topic but I remember as a kid I used to love the smell of gasoline. The reformulated gas now has a bad smell.
