Of course you do! It’s a rhetorical question leading to my range observations. I belong to a rather large out door range & club that also open to the public. It’s interesting to observe how much things have changed over the years. 9mm was once an oddball cartridge seen only on rare occasion...

Hope this is the appropriate forum. I’m getting to that point where it may be time to lighten the load. Before getting started, I’d like to be sure of safe, economical and legal methods of shipping hand guns & long guns. ShipMyGun, a division of Bud’s gun shop, sounds like a reasonable and...

I like the .32 SWL and have a nice assortment of Colt & S&W revolvers in that caliber. My favorite is a 4” model 31-1 that is usually remarkably accurate considering the small frame and minimal non-adjustable sights. I wanted to compare several different bullets performance with minimal...

I have two model 39-2. One purchased new and one used. Neither has been shot much. Although the used one shows some external wear. The gun shows very little signs of use. All internals are in great shape, barrels pristine, barrel muzzle to slide fit very good. Both group awful. I’m not...

Just trying to help someone identify an estate purchase. Any idea manufacture or history? Sorry I don’t have any additional pictures or information at this time.

Any favorite recipes for moderate target loads using specifically 357 brass and flush seated, plated DE 148g wad cutter bullets? I know you can use 38 brass but I specifically want to use magnum cases. Due to the case volume, I’d like to use a bulky powder. But unfortunately as everyone has...

I have approximately 700 - 50 caliber (pistol) frangible APX style bullets for sale. Bullets weigh typically 205 grains, .500 diameter and 0.865 OAL. Bullets are injection molded from a powdered copper & polymer blend. Bullets are designed and intended to minimize damage to steel targets...

May have found a suitable replacement. Thanks for looking.

What is a recommended and safe way to adjust windage on fixed sight revolvers? I assume the process is effectively bending the barrel - frame interface and essentially move the rear sight. I’d like to dismiss the suggestion of shooter error or technique. I recently test six .32 caliber S&W J...

Anyone experiment with Berry’s hollow base round nose 9mm plated bullets? I hoped it would produce positive accuracy similar in principle to hollow base wadcutters. I’m sure the cavity concentricity and alignment to the bullets axis would be critical. Not having very good results. Mostly...

10mm model 610. I’ve had this gun a long time but rarely shoot it. Not sure if it’s always been difficult or a recent development. Rounds fired in it mild to mid-range 10mm loads. Releasing the cylinder takes a huculean effort. Have to use a piece of wood to push the cylinder release...

Copper-polymer composite frangible bullets in .50 caliber. (Pistol not BMG). .500 diameter by 0.860” long. Weight 204 grains. Has fluted “ARX” style nose. Nice low recoil plinking rounds for your S&W hand cannon. 2 lots of 300 pieces for $130.00 each lot flat rate shipping included. 1 Lot...

Wonder if anyone else has had similar experiences and have any advice or suggestions?? Sparrow suppressor, S&W MP-22 with Gemtech adaptor. First few outings with the combination were very impressive. Gun shoots to point of aim and very tight groups with or without suppressor at 15 yards. No...

Any Ruger 77/44 owners out there who can tell what to expect with my 77/44? I picked up a used blued model in excellent condition. Been to the range twice with it. Shooting off sandbags on a bench at 50 yards. First trip with 7.8 grains Unique and LSWC and using iron sights. Disappointing...

Odd request but I'm working on a project for a company that will require a huge quantity of the plastic trays typically used in packaging ammo. Like the 9mm trays in Wolf ammo or similar as well as possibly other pistol & rifle sizes. Looking for sources and contact information for the...

I have a five screw model of 1955 in .45 ACP. S 166xxx - 1956-57? 100% reliable in single action but fails to fire 20% time in DA. Took the grips off for a look under the hood and a bit surprised by what I've found. Gun has the "W" main spring. But the frame is also cut for the later leaf...

Can anyone identify who manufactured these grips? Got them on a used K-frame revolver some time ago. No manufacturers ID that I can find. Would like to get a matching set but in round to square butt configuration to properly fit a model 617. Grips appear to be polished rosewood and have a...

I know many here use plated bullets and may have preferences based on price or convenience of purchase. But, has anyone done actual side by side comparisons of similar size & type bullets from different manufacturers and come up with an objective opinion regarding which are better. Better...

Recent threads regarding .25 ACP pistols interested me. Several years ago, before I turned my attention to S&W and Colt revolvers, I was collecting pre-war pocket pistols mostly in .32 caliber. Along the way, I also picked up quite a few .25 & .380 models. One of the questions raised in the...

Was cleaning my 696 recently and noticed the odd extractor shape. Some "arms" are longer than others and the shape of the tips varies. Of course, the recesses in the cylinder match. This is the only revolver I've seen with this odd asymmetrical extractor. What's the reason & purpose? Thanks!
