Most J-frames are concealment guns. Didn’t think looks entered into the picture,

I like the Delta Grip for hard-kicking J-frames. Absorbs recoil, and is flat and light.

I’ve got a used no-dash model 67, very tight, probably carried a lot, and shot very little. It has the OHB marking on the side indicating it’s a used CHP gun. Any suggestions as to how I can get rid of the OHB marking without defacing the gun?

Super-Vel brass I do have several hundred rounds of Super-Vel brass. My understanding was that they started-off using Norma brass, but we’re cut-off, and then went to cheaper stuff. I didn’t mean to imply that the moon clips were the problem.

I’ve had problems loading for revolvers using 9mm moon clips. After sizing, belling, and priming, if I use foreign/cheap brass the brass tends to bulge or expand at the base after dropping powder, and seating the bullet causing the moon clips with loaded ammo to not fully seat in the chambers...

Virtually all of my brass is at least once-fired. My sizing die always contacts the shell holder. Sounds like I need to get a “bulge-buster” to ensure that all my cases are uniform top-to-bottom. Never have bought new 9mm brass. Too much free stuff at the range.

I shoot a 9mm REVOLVER. Does anyone make a sizing die that sizes the entire case from mouth to rim? I’m having trouble getting all my cases to fully seat in the cylinder. Thanks in advance.

I own a Ruger LCRX 9mm with a 2” bbl. Even with 115 grain bullets, the little gun is a fierce kicker with all the powders that I’ve tried. To remedy this, I’ve gone to a 95 grain 380 bullet by RMR. Not a self-defense load to be sure, but great fun at the range, and accurate, too. For...

I’m older now, and Larry’s gone, but if I had a hero, it would be Larry Seecamp. Here was a guy that wore old clothes, drove an older car, worked sometimes 7 day weeks, loved reading and good music, and was so concerned about his customers getting a good product, that he, himself, carried a...

Anyone else remove the “ninja” clip from their pocket knives, and carry them loose inside the pocket as most of us older folks used to?

I have the LCRX 9mm, & also have J-frame Smiths for carry. The larger Hogue grip does make a difference, but it’s still a hard kicker. Too big to carry concealed with the larger grip.

I have a Ruger LCRX with 2” barrel. 9mm. Quite a kicker. All the loads I find are for semi-autos. Any suggestions for loading this revolver with 115grn bullets? Any loads will do that don’t try to break your wrist with every pull of the trigger.

Most of the reloads for my LCRX 9mm work fine. But occasionally, a round seems to have a slight bulge at the base of the case, preventing the round from seating flush with the cylinder. This prevents the cylinder from closing with or without the use of moon clips. All rounds pass the “plunk...

I’ve got a new Ruger LCRX in 9mm. Any suggestions for a suitable load on the mild side for this revolver? I’ve got lots of reloading manuals, but none specify good 9mm revolver loads. It’s a real kicker with most loads I’ve tried so far, not to mention most powders seem to fill the case almost...

Smith J-Frames J-frames are J-Frames.
