    Alternative to Alliant Unique?

    Same here. For range loads --by far the most shooting I do--it does great and is cleaner (and available).

    Big Cat in Texas

    Adventures in Gun Buyback today

    I remember a news story from a buyback in SA a year ago where two police were charged with larceny and theft for taking guns from the 'buyback' for their own personal collections. Apparently non-gun people, unaware of a historical or valuable firearm will turn it in at these events.

    Thanks! Mine is serial CBCXXXX, chambered in .357 mag. My father is gone so I am wondering about when he would have purchased it.

    Model 640 no dash, when was it introduced?

    I have a 640 which I inherited from my father. Wondering when this model was rolled out by S&W? When it came to me it had badly worn rubber boot style grips on it and I replaced those with some carved hardwood grips for a little bit of visual appeal. I use it frequently as an EDC. Thanks in advance!

    28-2 values?? General Values.. online

    Like any auction, there are (SOME) sellers who see an unrealistic high price realized, and immediately in their mind, that becomes the new threshold for pricing of their own items. An item is only worth what the buyer and seller both agree upon.

    Basic Ammo Question: The higher the grains, the more powerful the round?

    First, I appreciate your wanting to learn some facts about different cartridge loads, and it can be confusing to have a lot of numbers/stats/charts thrown at you. For a self defense load in a snubbie, you want the bullet to expand as much as it can, and expend as much energy as it can in it's...

    Basic Ammo Question: The higher the grains, the more powerful the round?

    The grain weight is strictly how much the bullet weighs. What you are interested is in foot-pounds of energy that bullet arrives at it's target with. Let's say that I reload a batch of 38 special, using the universal 158 grain lead round nose cast bullet. In the first batch I load 3.1 grains...

    Considering a Model 39-2

    I picked this up at a gun show last summer. Model 39-2, apparantly unfired, in box for $325. I bought two new mags and a NOS Smith and Wesson holster ($16.00 on feebay) and am really glad I did. Cool thing is that my wife is who found it, as I walked right past the vendor, and she was on it like...

If you are wanting a lowest possible cost 1911, for a range toy or plinker..then there's no reason NOT to get one.If you want something to maybe upgrade or...

    66 No Dash Questions **Pics Added**

    I just picked up this Model 66-2 in December for 4 bills and change, and it shoots like a charm. Someone has done an action job on it in the past and it is the equal of any revolver I own. I only wish I had acquired one sooner.
