    Appleseed report: Qualified Rifleman w/ 15-22

    Re: Sling on 15-22 - I used a canvas GI loop sling, and found that it worked well. I mounted the front on a picatinny mounted sling swivel (Midwest Arms, I think). I found that the detached rear loop style worked best for me in prone and sitting position. I used the "hasty" style loop in...

    Appleseed report: Qualified Rifleman w/ 15-22

    My wife and I participated in the Appleseed event in Raton NM at the NRA Whittington Center April 17-18. What a great place for an Appleseed! We had to wait for the mule deer herd to clear the range a few times. I shot a 15-22 I bought in February from Cabela's. I put a Rock River 2 stage match...

    Sargent Sowell Co. Pre-M29

    Sargent Sowell Co. Sargent Sowell Co. was a police supply dealer in the industrial area of north Grand Prairie, just south of DFW Airport. In the 1970's, individual police officers could walk in, talk to a sales person and walk out with a handgun, at the lowest price around for new S&W's. I...

    Thunder Ranch 325 OWB Holster Recommendations

    One more idea on the Simply Rugged. When you order, add the optional "Inside-Out" straps, which allow you to also use it as an IWB holster. This mode is also very comfortable, as it places the holster and weapon high enough in the waistband that the cylinder rides above the waistband, reducing...

    Thunder Ranch 325 OWB Holster Recommendations

    I'm a big fan of Simply Rugged holsters. As advertised, they are rugged, simple, priced well and very comfortable to carry. I'm sure they can make one to fit your TR325. Their turn-around time has been very good, compared to many of the other custom leather makers.

    38/44 value difference

    I think SaxonPig's excellent discussion deserves being made a "sticky". It's an accurate explanation of the wonders of the marketplace as it relates to the subject of this forum. If we all knew exactly what each revolver was worth, what would be the fun of that? We all enjoy window-shopping...

    Recommended 357 load for 2.5" 19 snubbie?

    Sorry to take so long to reply. I was shooting the Low Flash/"low recoil" BB 357. It is much more subdued than their full house round, and very appropriate for a smaller revolver. It's still too much for me to shoot successfully (recovery from first shot and accurate follow-up shots) from a...

    Recommended 357 load for 2.5" 19 snubbie?

    I just shot some of the BB 158 grain JHC 357 ammo this past weekend. It clocked 1104 out of my 3" Ruger SP101. The recoil was stiff, but tolerable. I've used WW 145 Silvertips in the past, and they are a reasonable load. I've shot them in a light weight 386SC 3" and found the recoil to be...

    Do you carry a revolver for CCW? Which one?

    I always carry a 340M&P w/ Speer 135 357 SB's in my front pocket. Back it up w/ a 342 w/ Speer 135 38+P's on my ankle. For when I'm in higher risk areas, a 325PD 2 1/2" w/ 45 Auto Rims; a 21 w/ 44 Spl. DPX or a 640 w/ Speer 135 357 SB, all in IWB carry. This results in a plan that can be...
