Interesting. I put a Colt Anaconda down and picked up a Redhawk, the Redhawk felt better. The Anaconda and the Redhawk are in the same category. I’m a Colt’s fan but that Redhawk is the greatest.

While not pro law enforcement I am not anti law enforcement. To me it is just a "half a glass of water" when it comes to them. Their mind set is, to me, questionable. Plus it is fueled by far less...
As a law enforcement firearms instructor for 20 plus years and a officer for over 30 years I totally agree with the above posts. I saw a decrease in the focus on firearms over the years. We used to...
When I was a firearms instructor on a police dept this one officer always shot 100%. He was a shotgunner. He said it’s all follow through. Your not done when you pull the trigger, you have to...
Generals Dickinson and Wood didn’t spend $15.00 for the earliest 1911’s, Lt. George Patton paid $50.00 for a silver plated ivory stocked Colt’s SAA in 1916.
I used Wilson 7 round magazines for my Colt’s 1911 when I was a peace officer. Never had any problem with them. Encountered a guy who needed shooting, the Wilson mag obliged him with fail.
Great video.
General’s Dickinson and Wood passed on purchasing serial numbers 8 and 10 for $15.00 in 1911? And those guns are worth an estimated $100,000 to $200,000 today. What were they...
Ouch. I won a Redhawk in a shooting match. Took that Redhawk to IHMSA matches and shot 300 gr. boolits out to 200 yards without any problem. Shot 2 classifications, 40 rounds each classification. ...
I own about 10 Colt’s SAA’s all 3rd gens. A Ruger New Model and 3 Ruger 3 screw SA’s, a couple of Italian copies.
I’ve thought about this a lot. Why do I like the Colt’s? When I take guns out...
I carry that Bulldog often, it was my backup gun when I was a peace officer. It is a strong gun with a 5 shot cylinder, the cylinder stop notches are cut between the cylinders where the metal is...
I scored 900 rounds of .22 in one day after a few stops at hardware stores, and scored a box of 500 another day at a LGS. The prices I paid were fair.
I had zeroed this gun with the Bullseye load 20-30 years ago. I was puzzled how fixed sights could change point of impact with the same load as the Bullseye I was using today. Then Bazoo got my...
Today at 25 yards with the same Colt’s SAA Lyman 429667 ww .431” Alox with the published minimum of Bullseye hit eight (8) inches higher than; RCBS 44-200-CM ww .430” Alox with a mid range charge of...
That is an amazing acquisition. Congrats, well done Sir!
Today I drove to Three Forks Reloading in Cle Elum, WA and scored. I bought a 8 pound container of Unique, and 2 pounds of Alliant Sport Pistol. The owner said there was no limit, as he had a lot...
Great points. My wife took a beginners firearms class, from a great female instructor with other ladies. She had a great time. She said the class went into things I wouldn’t think to address. At...
Good advise. I told my buddy to take a basic class or 2. My experience as a firearms instructor is to provide quarterly qualifications to law enforcement officers who had all had the basic firearms...
I did not intend to convey any connection between what is currently available on the market with my buddy’s choice of a carry gun.
What I meant was -(this should be an acronym) “wimw” -how does a...
A buddy called me and wants to start shooting and carrying. I scouted out the LGS’s and will probably suggest he buy guns in calibers he can get ammo for. Pretty narrow pickings out there right...
Thanks! I’ve got a pound of 777 that has been sitting on the shelf for years. I didn’t know what to do with it. Now with your video I can load my Colt’s Army .44’s with it. I usually use Goex in...
We’ve sure seen .45 Colt cartridges loaded in ‘73 rifles at cowboy matches, jams them right up. Have to remove the side plate to clear the rifle.
It’s said famed Indian fighter Jeff Milton loaded...
Once after loading I found a .30-06 with a .270 headstamp. At first I thought somebody at the factory screwed up. It became obvious that I had mixed a spent .270 brass in with the .30-06 brass for...
