I have had parts break on every type of revolver I own with ONE exception. That is the Old Model Ruger Blackhawk. Dan

Matt Dillon would be proud to wear that one. Dan

My 1964 M57 has the same presentation case. It is a terrific shooter. Dan

We have “Caution: Firearms in Use” signs posted on our property. They have been pretty effective in keeping trespassers out. I am known as the guy who “shoots guns all the time”.

To answer the original question “is there a practical reason to transition from .38 to .357 in the context of EDC in suburban America” NO

Beautiful country. Really nice gun and rig too. Thanks for sharing. Dan

“ My target goal for wilderness carry is 300 grains at 1K FPS from a 4". bbl.” This can be accomplished with “tier 2” loads (23k psi) which the M-25 can handle. In Brian Pearce’s Handloader article he had loads slightly higher in velocity using Longshot, Power Pistol, and TCM powder. My only...

That’s the best looking 645 I have ever seen. Amazing how much better it looks without the squared trigger guard. I may have to get up my nerve and get out the files. Dan

To look at… 3.5” To shoot…. 5” Dan

My first year Model 57 6”. 41 Magnum covers all of my bases. Dan

Welcome from a fellow Missourian, and thank you for your service to us. MHP troopers are among the best! Dan

I have loaded a lot of H110/WW296, 2400, and AA#9 in my 41’s. While all 3 work very well, I have settled on #9 as my “go to”. I think you will like it. Dan

I didn’t think so Mike. My Son had one and I was surprised at how controllable it was. He carried it for his BUG when he was a police officer. For me personally this question is answered with a 4” Security Six. 😉 Dan

+1 on Roger Maris. The only thing he did wrong was hit more HR’s in a season than Mantle did, and pissed off the New York media. I have to admit I was glad Pete never got in because he was such a jerk. Most players who get in the HOF seem humbled by the selection. Don’t recall any other player...

Another Alchin fan. Dan

Vortex customer service is FANTASTIC! Dan

In the Brian Pearce “Standard Loads” June 2017 Handloader Pet Loads for the 44 Special with a 240 XTP he listed 6.5 gr. Unique @ 835 FPS and 7.0 gr @ 866. These loads are all at or below 15,500 psi. I agree with not using jacketed bullets at that level unless that’s all you have. I never shot...

Congratulations. I don’t think I could have left it there for 3 years. I guess patience pays off. (I’ve never been blessed with any). Those are terrific guns. Mine shoots great! Dan

Many suggestions, and none bad really. Were I in your position I would choose a 1911. Easy to carry and close to indestructible. 10mm is ok, but I would prefer 45 acp. I would have it loaded with 250 gr +p ammo from Lost River. Sounds like an amazing trip. .45 ACP +P 250 Grn Hard Cast Flat...

Welcome from Lake of the Ozarks. Your quest is a worthy one. The 1006 is a great gun, one I wish I still had. Dan
