Approximately 180 mixed headstamp and brass/nickel cases. Cases are once fired. Cleaning up the loading bench. PM me.

I bought one in 1996 when they first came out. Nice gun with .38s not so nice with .357s. The issue I've observed with M60s as well as M19s and early M29s is not cylinder bulge but frame stretch and gas cutting. Picked up a M65 3" that I like better and shoot better. My 3" SP101 is closer to...

Bob Leskovec Home made a set for John Taffin in Ivory Polymer but I think he does real ivory as well.

Normally shoot 2 loads in 44's. 17grs of 2400 with 240 gr LSWC in 44 Special cases or 18 grs of 2400 in 44 Mag cases. Other load is 7.5 grs of Unique in either case with same bullet. I have used 6 grs of Bullseye in Mag cases with 429421's but I don't like to use it since it takes up so...

I thought Contract Model M&Ps came with smooth grips not checkered.

Had a 6909 as a carry gun for several years. IMHO the 6946 is a better gun. I just could never get used to that DA/SA trigger. Too many years with a 1911. The 5900s are a full size service pistol and always seemed "heavy" to me for a 9MM. The reason they are police trade ins is most...

I have used Sketter Skelton's load (though I seem to remember he got it from Elmer) of 13.5 grs of 2400 in 38 Special brass for years. I've used 358156 in both regular and hollowpoint versions as well as 358429 in both versions. You can also try 358466 and 358477 (there are 2 versions of...

Not uncommon in training exercises for the "gun" to get shot. Under stress you tend to get tunnel vision and focus on the threat, i.e. the gun and not the perp. Old saying "the more you bleed in training the less you bleed in the field"

Got a similar one. Had the same Compacts on it. Got it at a live auction. It was labeled as a "cut down Model 10", go figure. Price was too good to pass up. Has some cosmetic wear and tear but bought it for a "truck gun" so it doesn't matter. I've been trying to figure out the "engraving"...

Just curious but why didn't they engrave the screw heads as well?

Big bullets, I think you will find that most factory .44 mag ammo will chronograph about 1100 to 1200 fps these days. I had 4-5 boxes of Remington that were from 1956, 250 gr. 3/4 jacket LSWC that I got with a Ruger 7 1/2" Super Blackhawk. Those would chronograph an honest 1450 fps but most...

Our prayers and thoughts to the officer and his family. The dirtbag deserves a short rope and a tall tree but we will most likely just wind up feeding and housing him for years to come, such is the state of our "justice" system.

Eotech is owned by L3 Communications not Bushnell. They no longer list the Holoscope in their new catalog either. I still see one or 2 in the Bushnell Factory Outlet store from time to time but I suspect those are returns that have been rehabbed. I have one on my 12 ga. combo slug/turkey gun...

+2 on "Shoot it first". Have a M44 Russian carbine with a barrel that looks like 40 miles of bad road that will shoot 1" groups (once I found a cast bullet that actually fit the bore). I've used a dab of Simichrome on standard velocity ammo to "polish" bores in semi-autos but have never tried...

44 special. When all else fails bigger holes leak more.

You can suppress any revolver. The degree of effectiveness will depend on cylinder gap and ammo. Russian Nagants are real quiet with subsonic ammo since they seal the gap at firing.

If you look at the chart every pistol caliber is over 150 db which is dangerous. So if your objective is to lessen noise or hearing damage none are any good including .22lr (134db). Hearing protection (EarPro Products provided by SureFire) like these or a suppressor would work better. I have...

Depends on the gun. Measure the cylinder throats on your gun and use accordingly. Or just drop a bullet in the front end of the cylinder (every hole as there can be a variance). If it falls through you have problems, if it stops you should be good to go.

Test Model 24-3

If you were trying to make it look like an old time Mafia hit. Pull off the grips and wrap the handle with adhesive tape to make it harder to get fingerprints. Use and lose it.
