OK, here's something I have debated on posting since last Tuesday. All I can say is that I have the best friends in the world! As some of you know, I have been looking for a S&W model of 1917 .45 ACP revolver. More precisely, one with all the proper US ARMY, and PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES...

I have a lead on a 686 no-dash 4" bbl. for $485 shipped. It looks to be in excellent condition. I wasn't really looking for one as I already have a 2 1/2" bbl 686. Seems like a very good deal, and one I shouldn't pass up. What do you say? WG840

Howdy all. I just purchased and received a Mitch Rosen "Style EXP" shoulder holster for the 1911. This holster is in excellent condition, and has the double mag. pouch on the opposite side. It just doesn't fit me well enough to keep it. (Scroll down to style EXP for a photo and...

Howdy folks. I have been reloading for many years, but I am about to try my hand at the 30-06 cartridge. I have loaded mostly pistol rds, and also the .223 and 45-70. I am seeing that Midway is having a sale on RCBS two-die sets. I was thinking of buying a set as RCBS has a great reputation...

Howdy all. I have a model 41, that is completely stock. I did all my bullseye shooting with an Ultra-Dot mounted on top. I recently removed it so that I could do some range work and instructing with the iron sights. The gap in the rear sight appears to be the exact width as that of the front...

Just a quick note to thank Shoo publicly. The generous karma offering of the brass tumbler arrived today, and I finally ordered myself a Midnight Pro Shooboy hammer. It arrived today as well! This is the nicest hammer on the block bar none!:D Thanks Shoo, once again, for your generosity, and...

Howdy folks. I was hoping that I could get a ballpark price on a commercial 1917. It is wearing Pachs, has no lanyard loop, no US military markings whatsoever. It is not even stamped 1917. It is in good condition retaining most of its blueing. The bore is very good with only very minor pitting...

Howdy all. A couple of years ago, I sent off a copy of Max Brooks' book, "The Zombie Survival Guide" as a Karma, with the stipulation that after reading it, the winner would write his or her forum name inside the front cover, and re-Karma it here. It's been quite a while since I have seen it...

I have been carrying for over 12 years. I carried a majority of the time. Lately, my job has been sending me to places where I cannot carry, or where I have to "check" my firearm at the door. (courthouses for example.) This has been the case for the past two months. I decided that it just wasn't...

There is a new trend in the works around these parts. Folks who applied for, and received CCWs in the New England states generally had to pay a fee of $40 or $50 dollars for a 4 year renewal in just about all the states. MA decided that their non-resident permit would now be $100 ANNUALLY!!!. I...

I know this has been discussed before, but I had yet another encounter with a guy at a gunshop that made blood squirt out of my eyes. I am looking at some guns, and another guy is next to me. We start talking about the guns in the case, and he mentions that he just bought one of the new Sig...

I have been reloading for a long time. I have also made a habit of chronographing my loads. I got into that habit because when I shot IPSC years ago, we needed to make sure our loads made "major" power factor. I check the data listed by the powder manufacturors on a regular basis, especially...

Howdy all. Before anyone jumps all over me, let me say that I have done a search on this site and others as well, for the answers that I am seeking. Now. Here is what I have going on. I remember reading somewhere, either on one of the reloading forums or in a magazine, that every reloader...

Hi all. I am trying to find a holster for my father. He has a 2"bbl 686. I am looking for a well made leather holster with a thumb break that is reasonably priced. This holster will be an OWB type, and be used primarily around the house and yard. Black hills leather has a decent holster here...
