    Pistol Caliber Carbines

    I shoot handguns very well but it took hundreds of thousands of rounds and many years to get there. A PCC is much easier for most to master and is great for 99.9% of self defense distances. My wife's in the house defense gun is the Beretta 40 with a dissipating /compensator on it so it is not...

    Polished vs. matte or beaded stainless finish ?

    I polished a few of my favorite stainless steel guns. I really don't like the carbon & burn marks on my special to me guns. This 627 was showing cleaning wear on the cylinder so I polished it to make it my only 2 tone revolver. I like it, and this is my favorite 357 ever so I will never get rid...

    Model 25 Decision?

    I have both but the acp versions get to the range much more. There is just something special about a 45 revolver.

    Advice on selling gun knife combo.

    If I need to post this somewhere else please let me know. I'm a long time member but have been absent for a while. And I have never sold a gun except face to face. A friend sold me a few guns when he got older knowing I would enjoy them. I did sell a couple to other friends but a friend asked...

    Acme 230gr 38 spl WFP

    627 8 round 357 magnum V comp as pictured above. I do load them in 38 spl brass becouse it reloads faster. I will check my data but I'm pretty sure I'm happy to get about 750-800 fps. I don't need to push them at full power to knock bowling pins back 3 feet.

    Acme 230gr 38 spl WFP

    230gr wadcutters are great for bowling pin matches! These are moly coated and grab them good even when hit off center. I consider them a niche item not novelty.

    627 Performance Center snubby

    The one I have is my all time favorite 357. I also have the Crimson Trace grips on mine. They fit my hands well and no slipping. I cut off the back edge and filled the spot with black RTV. I have used it for short barrel matches with a red dot. I carry IWB when I feel like being sure I'm well...

    Need advice on Performance Center 627

    I have one and love it. I have been shooting bowling pin matches regularly for over 25 years. I thought I had the ultimate pin gun when using a Magnaported 25-2. I was at a match with it when I broke the firing pin so a buddy let me use his V-Comp to finish the match. I knew a lot of guys were...

    S&W Model 64-3 DAO

    I have 2 M64s. A -3 in 3" but my favorite is this -2 2". It has a beautiful pull in DA and light pull in single. It was scratched up when I got it so I spent some time rubbing out the marks. I don't care if it lowered the value, I will never sell it and it makes me happier.

    Did used gun prices skyrocket?

    I will try to get the info on it. I just wanted to put it down before I bumped it into something.

    Did used gun prices skyrocket?

    While at a bowling pin match yesterday a friend was showing me a very nice antique Colt 38-40 SA. When I asked what he paid I was shocked! 7K! His brother laughed at my expression and asked when was the last time I looked at a used gun...I know apples and oranges but WOW! Well it has been a...

    New Python vs 627PC

    I have never owned a Python but I have 2 627s. Both are real shooters. The 2.625 Bloodworks gun is my favorite 357 ever. It shoots and handles perfectly for me. I used to throw a red dot on it once in a while and shoot it in open class! I still use it as stock or carry class. The trigger is so...

    whats your latest brand new revolver purchase?

    I wasn't going to buy any more guns...Then I had to borrow a gun from a friend half way thru a bowling pin match when my 25-2 firing pin broke. He let me use his 627 PC. I really thought the 45 was king but I was wrong. These 230gr WC knock the pins off really well!

    Any “pet” loads for a 625-6

    I put a lot 10s of thousands of cast 230gr conical through all my 25 / 625s. they all shot well. My 625-3 really liked 4.5 of Titegroup. It's a little less than full power and inexpensive if you are going to put thousands of rounds through it. The 625-3 won't shoot 230 RN cast. I don't know...

    Need Ammo ?

    I reload 380. I seldom buy any factory ammo of any kind. 380 is not much smaller than 9mm. It looks pretty small next to some of these though. Most of my 380 is done with cast. I like this 105 SWC because I also use it in light 38SPL loads for the super light weight J frames. I find it works in...
