    .38/44 Heavy Duty

    I'd be interested in learning the "Skeeter" load. I have the data from the Speer #8 manual. Is that the same thing? Thanks Pete

    I would like to discuss the .41 Mag story...

    When did carrying 5 rounds in a Colt SAA become the norm?

    The Schofield cartridge specs, from memory a 230 gr @ 830 f/s, became the standard on which the Army insisted when the 1911 was adopted.

    Victory data base

    Here's a Navy marked Victory I bought when there was a bunch of them on the market in 1994 for $125, V90442. All numbers match except the grips. It's no problem to keep a soda can bouncing at 25 yds with 125 gr Nyclads!

    Can someone with the knowledge base help identify years for me?

    The stocks on the 63 and the first 36 appear to be Herrett's. Very nice, and well north of $100 each if had them made today.

    Model 69 Snubbie

    Yeah, and they're calling the 69 snub a "Combat Magnum" and have verbage about it being a K frame! Doesn't anybody who actually knows something about the product proof read this stuff?

    New to me model 57

    And I believe that gun is too late to have been shipped with cokes. Any chance of pictures?

    1917 British .455

    Couldn't find anyone selling these bullets on GB. Do you have his user name?

    Should I take the plunge on this Model 57???

    I would insist on seeing the metal condition under the Pachmayrs. Rust and rubber seem to like each other.
