Very well put. As the number of rounds in magazines go up, the emphasis on developing skill seems to go down .

Its not so complicated to me. We already have the mechanism to protect society from people who have been charged with serious crimes, but have not been convicted. It is called a Judge. Virtually everyone in this country who is charged with a serious crime is taken before a judge to be...

I would like to take a moment and point out that this thread is a good example of why I like this forum and is a testimony to the caliber of people who come here. This is a very emotional issue. Folks obviously have opposite points of view on this issue and each side feels very strongly about...

There is another story to be considered from these statistics. You will note that they state that only 2 percent actually go to trial. That means that almost one in five or those arrested and charged should not have been chared in the first place (the 17 percent) and overall only two people out...

When I was a kid, my local 5 and dime store had a huge wooden barrel that was stuffed full of these. Fifteen bucks apiece. Take your pick Wish I had bought the barrel full.

There is a very fundamental thread that runs through a just legal system. That would be that you can not punish people (or restrict their rights) in anticipation of what they might do. It exists to punish people for things that they have actually done. If you value the rights that are granted...

I have no real idea. But, it seems to me that it should have been fairly popular. Despite what we might read or see on TV, I don't think that a pending gun fight was on everyone's mind every minute of the day, nor was there serious concern over saving tenths of second getting one's gun out. At...

An "indictment" means that you have been formally charged with an offense. Lots of things can happen after that. More charges can be added. Some or all charges can be dropped. The charge can be reduced to a misdemeanor or made a more serious felony. At this phase of the process no one has been...

I will echo that it would be very difficult to tell if a revolver has had three shots through it from the factory, or three plus six from the owner firing his new gun. Checking the area from the top of the barrel to the bottom of the top strap, as has been mentioned, is my first place to look...

To the OP - Nice collection of ammo. Things being how they are here, I doubt that many American shooters with large volumes of ammo would, or will publicly proclaim what they have stashed or produce public pictures. A bird just landed on my window sill and whispered to me that there might be...

Lot of absolutely beautiful guns in this thread. Lots of Roper grips as well. I don't recall ever seeing so many in one place before.

I think that they should be carrying Brown Bess's. Not that "bloody mechanical musket" that I have heard the troops like to refer to it as.

I wet pin tumble in the large size Frankford Arsenal tumbler. I toss in what looks like just short of too much brass. I give it a good blast of Dawn dish soap, and a good dollop of Real Lemon Juice out of the jug. Those are as precise as my measurements ever get. Never had a problem. Brass...

Whoops! I just noticed that I have probably posted this in the wrong spot. Sorry. Please move if you wish.

In my travels I have come across the following attachment. It is called a dissertation that addressrs Great Britain's need for, use of, and what they used for handguns in World War l. As we know, they used all of the Smith & Wessons that they could get their hands on, along with almost...

The difference in price that you see was probably caused by the weight of the bullets. The amount of materials used often have a very direct bearing on the price. For instance, a 230 grain 44 slug is twenty something (please don't make me do the math) percent heavier than a 158 grain 357.

I vote no to Herrett, yes to Sanderson.

Plus one for Missouri Bullets. I don't know how they are doing at the moment, but I am pretty sure that they are doing very well. Probably two years ago now, back when the shortage of everything that had anything to do with shooting made it literally impossible to buy anything, I had an order...

the 44 Mags have always been a very popular gun to buy. It seems that every shooter feels a need to own one at some point in their shooting career. It also has always been a very popular gun to sell. Often in barely used condition. Many shooters who feel that they need one shoot one a few...

Put in a 23 lb recoil spring. Make sure that you have a 23 lb main spring. Make sure that you have a forged frame (not cast or aluminum). Switch out your firing pin stop for one from Harrison Design Harrison Design & Consulting, LLC. HD-205 Extreme Service firing pin stop for .45 Gov'''t...
