But then, you'd have to change your handle to Four44s.
It seems you're wanting the six round capacity in a short barrel, non-adjustable-sights package. Anything not ticking those three requirements is out. And that's fine. There are guns out there...

Well crap. Just talked to my LGS this evening. He has a older, and I quote "beautiful" Remington made Marlin in .38/.357, with scope, going up on the rack tomorrow. $950. And me with an almost...
We shoot bowling pins at 15 yards. No prizes, just a monthly fun match. But, to make it a bit more challenging, we hang a 6" steel plate at 30 yards and an 8" steel plate at 40 yards. Bragging...
You didn't mention the caliber, nor whether you're shooting factory or reloaded ammo, but it doesn't really matter.
An alternative to changing the gun, is to change your ammo. Speed up your...

Our range puts on a monthly outdoor bowling pin shoot from May to October. Pins are at 15 yards. We'll occasionally find ricocheted rounds back on the concrete firing line. I once picked up a...

Well, I went to the range today, but didn't take the gun. I had a more economical thought (i.e. - I'm cheap). I took four sized and deprimed cases, marked them 1-4, and measured depth of primer...

Ed - I'll try to look in to that. Not sure how at this point, but I'll look.
Chill - pretty sure I didn't. The drill is an old B&D high speed drill I got about 45 years ago. It's strapped down...

Hammer extender?
Hmm - yeah, if you mean a knob that sticks out to the side, since the scope sits right above the hammer.
But it never did this with the ammo that came with it, and the...

I finally have the scope adjusted for POI=POA at 100 yards for the .45-70 H&R 1871 Buffalo Classic I bought last summer.
But I have a new problem that popped up while I was getting the scope...
Follow-up. Both the 160ish and 195ish loads shot to the same POI, so it appears to be an alloy question, rather than thicker brass.

The Rossi would be in the running, but since I started this inquiry, I've seen enough along the lines of "love my Rossi 92, now that I've got it back two years after I sent it in for repairs" to make...

Oh. Well, since I was asking about long guns, I felt I was pretty much already implying that I wasn't considering the .45 ACP revolver at this time.
Forum: Factory Rifles
I already stated that I have lots of brass and lead, and adequate supplies of primers. Pretty much implies that yes, I roll my own.
Nope. Have an old one. But thanks for the suggestion, and...
Forum: Case Forming / Re-forming
I don't pick up much brass anymore other than what I shoot, but that's because I have thousands from when I did, all the time. And certain calibers I'll still pick up, even though I probably have...

Where did a S&W double action enter the conversation?
I don't have a Glock, but I do have a Ruger SR9c, and the Ruger PCC will run those too. :grin:
Offend or not, if I can't see the sights...
Forum: Factory Rifles
Actually, I did. Just another toy. But, I suppose a bit more background might be in order. I don't shoot as much as I'd like, due to still having a job. Will have for a few more years, hopefully....
Forum: Factory Rifles
Thanks all. Keep 'em coming.
Dverna - well, hard to tell exactly what 10 years worth of supplies is, but, yeah, I gots lots. Several thousand cases each of .38, .357 and 9mm. And not quite as...

So, I've reached an age, and a collection size, where I don't need any more guns. But want is not need, and I still want a few more. Which one(s) varies on a somewhat frequent basis.
I also have...

I was changing calibers on my 550b (bought used maybe fifteen years or so ago from the club I belong to) a couple of years ago, and had set the powder measure on the floor. At some point I rolled...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I don't recall backwards seating them, but the Lee Handpresses (old style-round) I have used would frequently insert a primer crooked. I eventually learned to partially raise the primer to just...

I've used 6.5gr of Unique under a Lyman 3118 bullet. Seating depth took a little playing with to get them to feed. Running them through a lubrisizer with a top punch to break the top corners might...

The outer one connected to the machine? Or the primer pickup tubes? I think you mean the outer one, but best to clarify.

Not unless I blur the faces, since my siblings are in the picture as well.
Ah, had to re-read to find it. Post #7. What is the ".05" mentioned? Percent, inches? Not meaning to be overly anal, but it does kinda matter.
Doubtful anyone would want to trade anything for...
