Haven't been around the forum for some time. Below is a photo of my 3". If you search my profile, you'll see a discussion about this M19 from years back. It has since been lettered and authenticated including front sight replacement. Was recently offered $1800 by a collector but haven't pulled...

KBM, reloading is fun and relaxing when doing so on a single stage. It takes time, but well worth it. While you wait on your decision, visit your local library. I'll bet 10-1 there are several books on reloading. Check these out, and really familiarize yourself with the process. You'll learn...

I remove the side plate on every revolver I purchase simply to admire the fine machining and workings of my new toy. Then I dream about how complicated all these parts look, and how I could screw things up by messing with removal. At this point I carefully replace the side plate and vow to never...

I too had trouble throwing consistent loads with Unique and Lee. Since I love Unique, I went to the expense of a Pact digital scale (which I already had) and their digital powder thrower. Now I have absolutely precise throws each and every time. This process is a bit slower, but I don't mind the...

Several years ago a friend and I went decided to travel from our home state of Michigan to a gun show in the western burbs of Chicago. We stopped a table with some interesting handguns and asked to look at one of them. You cannot believe or surprise when the seller asked to see our FOID. He...

My favorite load for both 3" and 4" .38 special: 125gr Berry, 4.7 Unique, seated to 1.440".

I have a M-19 and a M-60 with 3" barrels. I absolutely love the looks of the 3" and am always on the hunt for more examples. But $700+? Not today, and probably not tomorrow

Here in SW Michigan, primers were bringing $29 a thousand before the shortage. So that price doesn't seem out of line. Sort of like gas. Hated $2.00 a gallon, then after $4.00 a gallon, $2.00 sounds pretty appealing again.

I was driving my car and got stopped by a fat lady crossing the street. She said, hey buddy can't you drive around me? I said, lady I don't think I got enough gas! I saw Rodney in concert in Milwaukee back in the 80's. I laughed so hard my cheeks ached. I couldn't take any more and was actually...

Are you buying or selling? Here in Michigan it is typically the seller whom places a warranty on the property.

I used to come here alot. Now I'm coming here less often. I believe I know why. A forum without members is a lonely place to be.

Please, count me in. And thank you.

The model 60 is very popular among forum members. Mine, a 60-4, is possibly my favorite revolver. You will enjoy yours too! Welcome to the forum.

Wow, that was amazing! I can't wait to share that with my wife.

Barb, Several years ago you gave me excellent advice to my questions concerning my boy smoking dope at 15 years old. It's difficult to understand other's problems, but your advice was spot on. Since then, I've kinda had a soft spot for your posts over the many years I've been a member of "the...

It's been a long, cold winter here in Western Michigan. While cooped up inside I loaded probably 2,000 rounds of 9's, .38's, and .357 using up primer and powder purchase last summer. Now the weather is warming and shooting isn't far off. Soon I will need to replenish my primer supply. Since I...

I never get surprises. So surprise me. I'd like in, too.

Hey, Blunderbus. Don't have any opinion on your question concerning the M67, but as a fellow Kalamazooin, welcome to the forum. I do agree that a revololver is a much better choice for defense because of it's simplicity. You may consider a model 60 Ladysmith. It's a .38 and great to handle for...

These are good questions. Welcome to the hobby of reloading. I too use a single stage press simply because I don't shoot thousands of rounds at a time, and I find it soothing to reload at a leisurely pace. As for your questions, it depends on the type of powder I'm using. Ball powder meters very...

+1. My gun dealer spouted off recently about how the libs are going to make primers disappear as a way of controlling the gunners. If any of his customers buy into his fears, you can imagine thats what's driving the market. So what to do? I'm down to about 300 primers before I have to resupply.
