Older, right before CA banned mail order ammo sales I stocked up

I should of clarified, my mags are S&W ones not Triple K mags

I have a 17-4 that I have owned for 40 years, shortly after I got it I had a well regarded gunsmith do an action job on it, in addition to cleaning up the action, doing a trigger job, polishing or reaming the cylinders he also polished the sides of the trigger and hammer which removed the case...

Mine is an early 70’s model and I shoot it at an informal match. The round count in mine is well over 15k rounds and it rarely gives me any grief with any type of ammo. I shoot CCI SV because of the cost and at 25 yards it is more than accurate enough. Mine seems to shoot well with any ammo...

I shoot CCI SV in mine, more than accurate enough at 25 yards. I have heard that the newer batches of the stuff are not as good as older versions.

Nice looking revolver, seems like you got it for a really nice price.

That is a really nice revolver, look forward to hearing what the letter says. Thanks for showing us.

I have shot a lot of W-296/H110 loads in my 27-2 with a 5 inch barrel, I started out in the mid 1980's using a Speer #10 manual, the newer manuals and powder websites max loads are lower. I think in pistols quite a bit of powder was burned in front of the barrel. I am tempted to buy a...

That looks like a nice one, I think the newer ones are not as pretty and the grips are now laminated wood. I have an older one from the early 70's and it is a great gun to shoot. I have said it before but model 41's seem to come in to versions. One version shoots great with any ammo and...

I have an older model 41 like yours with one original magazine with the metal followers and 5 of the newer magazines with the plastic followers. All work well, if you feel like you need another magazine I would buy a new 10 shot magazine and give it a try.

I use HP-38 for my 38 special and 45 acp bullseye reloads. For 148 grain HWBC in the 38 special I use 2.9 grains of HP-38 they clock about 650-660 FPS out of my 52-1. I use 3.7 grains of powder for my 185 grain coated lead swc in my 1911. I have not chronographed them yet but they shoot well.

Those are stunning revolvers.

You might try these, I have used their bullets for reloading. They sell loaded ammunition as well. 38 Spl Ammo | Precision Delta

I have a model 41 and love it, my friends who shoot in the bullseye league and some of the other shooters shoot Pardini's. I know the Ruger models are a great value. Some bullseye shooters use 1911 22 conversions but the triggers are rarely as good as a good 22. I know you said no to the Hi...
