I too am awfully fond of the .32-20. I'd love to find a Savage like yours.

Another vote for the Winchester FMJ truncated cone bullet load. A Lyman 356632 mould, part of a pile of reloading stuff I bought, was a lucky find. It makes a 100 grain truncated cone bullet that has worked well for me. Over 4.2 grains of Unique works nicely in my .380's. Runs around 1080 fps...

A nice 5-1/2 inch SAA in .41 Colt.

158 grain lead semi-wadcutters, standard velocity. If I need something more potent I have a couple .357 magnums. I am of the opinion Plus-P was the answer to pandering politicians whining about shooting bad guys with magnums.

I am still using an original Pact chronograph I bought in 1986. I bought a half dozen extra sky screens at the same time. So far, I have used three of them. As my shooting buddies eventually started getting their own chronographs the sky screen casualty rate has diminished. When this one...

They will likely go bang and the cases may split. 38 S&W is not a 38 Special "short". The case of the 38 S&W is larger at the head and mouth than the 38 Special.

The NEI #169A bullet 2.0 grains of Bullseye pretty well duplicates the British service load, 200 grain bullet at 650 fps. I have shot it in British Service revolvers and Colt's Police Positives. I have not shot it any I-frame or any top-breaks other than the Enfield. Matt's bullets is the place...

Were I the owner I would carefully explain to the manager: A. We did not need customers who assaulted our employees. B. I did not need a manager that stupid.

Many eons ago MPs had chromed M1917 bayonets for the Model 12 and Model 1897 shotguns. The command, "Fix, Bayonets," and the glinting of 16 inches of cold steel seemed to unnerve unruly mobs. Apparently the thought of being run through was more unsettling than the prospect of being shot.

Even after the VA finally issued me hearing aids, closed captions were essential with British accents.

I've been here almost twenty years and over that time I bought maybe a half dozen guns. All the transactions went well and I was pleased with what I received. The same over at Colt forum. I've seen the scam reports and it is obvious they are getting slicker and harder to detect. Sadly, the...

My one and only .41 Magnum is a Model 58 that looks rougher than a waterfront whore. The story I got was it came out of a police evidence locker in Georgia. Perhaps we now know what Billie Joe McAllister was throwing off the Tallahatchie Bridge. Regardless, it was cheap and the action is as...

With great irony, that may change. The VA is fitting me with hearing aids on 2 July

Be careful. If she she says, "Oh, That's cute. Can I hold it?" leave the country! I found a three inch, heavy barrel, square butt Model 36-1 a few years back, but the girlfriend immediately took a shine to it. While the J-frame is ostensibly TDY at her house, I suspect that I may never get it...

That's what I said the last time this came up, then I remembered I forgot the Star BM. The first generation MPDC marked Glock 17 got overlooked, as did the G19 I took a rasp to, to get rid of the finger grooves. The ironically named Tisas M1911A1 US Army came in a recent trade, oh and I almost...

Too old to be brawling, not inclined to take a whupping. Too fat to run so shooting the SOB is my remaining option.

Some of you may have figured out that I am fond of those old Owlhead revolvers. The latest find ticks about all the uncommon Iver Johnson boxes. A "large frame" two inch barrel Cycle Model, blue instead of the standard nickel finish, and six shots of .32 S&W Long. Not bad looking for a gun...

Suzanna Gratia Hupp, SHE had the gun in her truck. Here is her story

The .22 revolver with the best DA trigger here is a Colt Officer's Model Match. The Model 17 is a very close second. The Model 34 Kit Gun is adequate for what it is.

The nephews think it is way cooler since I added the Obsidian 9.
