Gentlemen, Here is an update for your information. I discussed the matter with a Smith & Wesson representative and he said the send the gun in for evaluation. Today, after almost 3 weeks, I received it back with notations that adjustments had been made and it had been range tested. So I did...

I should have explained more in my thread starter. I am shooting off a bench and my group size is about 1-inch at 45 feet. My ammo is 240 grain FMJ's that I reloaded as the accuracy ammo for two other 44 caliber handguns. By shooting such a tight group I figured this ammo should work in the...

Gentlemen, I have a current Model 21 with 4" barrel (fixed sights). It shoots 2" to the right at 45 feet. What can be done to adjust it where it shoots dead center? Is there a "correct" way do this? Thank you in advance, Rafter-S

Gentlemen, Please forgive me for asking such an elementary question. But I need to know what I can use to clean the exterior of nickel guns with without damaging the nickel. Specifically, cleaning the splattering caused by shooting cast lead bullets. Lead "splattering" is on the front of the...

This is some great information. Thank you so much for your replies. If I may ask another question: what are your views on Lee's molds designed specifically for Alox lube?...the molds that cast bullets with a series of small, shallow lube grooves? Thank you in advance for your replies. Rafter-S

I presume I can separate the steel clip weights using a magnet. What would be an efficient way to remove the zinc clips from the lead?

Gentlemen, I just acquired a large amount of used wheel weights and decided to start back casting bullets again. I have everything needed except an electric melting pot. I will be casting bullets for my own use (no large quantities) so I was wondering which pot to get. I note several people...

Gentlemen, No, I am not the former Steve and Della of Rafter-S Leather. Rafter-S is the name of my ranch and my cybe meme on this forum. I make leather holsters as a relaxing hobby. Several of my neighbors, who are also ranchers, wear my holsters as they work from horseback and pickup trucks...

Yes I will. PM sent. Rafter-S

It's really not a problem with my belt buckled up tight. It doesn't "slip" any at all. My original intent was to make it where it would be carried on a wide gun belt. But it does fine on the 1-1/2" belt for my pants. Rafter-S

BTW, I have a Glock 27 in one of my pocket holsters. Carry it all the time I have pants on. Rafter-S

I would make one for someone if I have the handgun to fit it to--each one is made custom. As far as cost is concerned, I would do it for $20 plus priority mail shipping which is about $7 I think. So the total would be $27 to get it to you. Now the big question is, what pistol would you want...

I recently finished these for some friends in Texas. They are both made of cowhide.

Thank you for the compliments and also the request to show more of my holsters. I have made several for myself and a few for some local friends and neighbors. In most cases I took photos so I will find them and put them on another thread. Again, thank you for your encouragement. Rafter – S

Thank you, Randy. It's nice that others appreciate my efforts.
