    457

    That's good information. Thank you. The one I have has an orange follower and works fine. The new Pro Mags are no good at all.

    457

    I just recently got one off of GB. Love it. I'm having mag issues, however. It came with what I believe is a non-SW magazine. 7 round, orange follower, works fine. I bought two new Pro-Mag magazines and they won't function most of the time. I've purchased a factory mag off of a site that shall...

    .45 Colt suggestions

    I shoot 8 grains of 231. It burns cleaner for me than Unique. My 25-5 was cut down to 3 inches and ported by an unknown fellow before me. (It has night sights and a WONDERFUL trigger.) It keyholes pretty badly with the .452 250 grain SWCs that are so accurate in my Ruger Bisley. However it...

    whats a NIB S&W mod10-5 worth?

    If it makes you feel better, there is NOTHING new that you could buy these days that compares to what you have, especially for that price. You could have done better, but you couldn't have done BETTER. The amount that you paid will fade over the years but the quality of what you have will only...

    Anybody have a Dietz lantern?

    I've got two Dietz lanterns that I've used for years canoe camping. I've never had any problems. I love 'em. Simple and cheap and effective. Check out Lehmans store on the web. They have all sorts of non-electric light choices and they have all the parts and accessories that you'll ever need.

    357 in BEAR COUNTRY??

    You people talk as if being turned into bear turds is a BAD thing. Hell, you COULD be a U.S. congressman.... Imagine how bad that must be. When I'm in the boondocks I pack iron based on confronting two-legged varmints (my daily carry Model 13-3). If the bad luck lottery strikes and I get et...

    Humble Model 10 S&W stars in post-apocalyptic flick, "The Road"

    I had DREAMS about the characters after I read the book. Grim and brutal and still beautifully written. His books No Country For Old Men and Blood Meridian were like that too. I don't particularly want to see the movie. The book spooked me more than enough.

    License Check Point in N.C.

    I had the same situation outside of Ahoskie on Highway 13 over the 4th of July weekend. It was just dusky dark and they had set up a DUI stop. I was stone sober (19 months!) and I turned over my license and CCP and the young trooper looked me over and said "Thank you, Sir. Drive carefully". He...

    Best Western Ever

    I enjoy all those mentioned and have most of them on DVD but I'm a big fan of the Jimmy Stewart westerns that he made with director Anthony Mann. Winchester '73, Bend in the River, Man From Laramie, The Far Country, a few others. They were pretty dark; Jimmy's character was usually not a...

    I just wish he would shutt up!

    Yeah. This all began with Obama. That bastard. HE destroyed our system. He's NOT doing everything he can to save our FREAKING WAY OF LIFE. I hate him. (The sarcasm is highlighted for the sarcasm deficient.) The same things were said of FDR. He came into a situation that he had to deal with and...
