I have my favorite lubricant, but it's immaterial. What matters is that one does _regular_ maintenance. A friend serving in Vietnam stripped and cleaned his .45 daily. People repeatedly remarked on...

I quit using this gadget because while it retained the weapon, it allowed it to constantly change position.

That's certainly a breath of fresh air! I would speculate many of the minute tweaks on handguns and ammunition are overshadowed by human error. I suspect they are an aspect of the American culture's...

I've no idea if this will be of any use but I've found 173 grain Keith SWCs penetrate relatively deeper in dirt than 158 grain SWCs cast from similar or harder metal.

I got rid of my .41 because of its performance was too similar to the .44 to justify reloading an additional cartridge. For a cartridge in between 44 and 357 I found the 10mm (in a revolver) far more...

It's been my observation there is a direct correlation between arbitrary vilification and stupidity.

I understood Cylinder and Slide had ceased operations.

As for your project, with enough money anyone can make their fantasy into a reality. My experience is that given the expense and angst, one...

I will happily be run off a range if the alternative is needless risk to my life, but that's just me. It is also why I shoot alone.

I like the extended grip but find the increase in lateral width substantially negates the advantage.

When the illustrated Micro sight was installed, it was advertised as the low mounted version, a term which has obviously changed with the times. Some material was removed from the slide behind the...

A half century ago .44 Magnum became so popular that for a time the weapons routinely sold at scalper's prices. Inspired by the Clint Eastwood films, I would speculate that for some purchasers this...

I don't know anything about the SA35 nor the Hi Power's "lack of meat." I'm guessing a "buried" rear sight is akin to the Micro low-mount rear site, of which I've appended photos which may or may not...

As you can gather from the responses, this is a controversial topic. I've never sectioned .357 and .38 cases for comparison so I don't know their respective strengths. I currently load a longish...

I store my molds in an identical manner, even to the size of the ammo can, with the same positive results.

Ranch Products catalogs 1/3 moon clips. If I was worried about a rapid reload, I would use a .45 with a magazine, but that's just me. I like the 1/3 clips because they can be carried in cartridge...

I'd think sizing would eliminate the problem, but since I'm a sizer rather than a tumbler that reflects my personal bias. Why not try a small batch of both for comparison? My gut feeling is that on a...

I use liquid dishwashing detergent and rinse with boiling water.

I've never bothered with clips for .45ACP revolvers in that I find it quicker to lift out each fired case rather then bother with clipping and declipping. I use .45 ACP brass exclusively because I...

You might wish to look at State of CA Form BOF 4544A Report of Operation of Law or Intra-Familial Firearm Transaction.

I was surprised to find that despite the widespread concern with liability, at least some auction houses specializing in firearms happily accept handloaded ammunition for auction.

I am considering obtaining a mold for Keith-pattern SWC 230 grain bullets to load in .45ACP brass for use in revolvers of that caliber. I am thinking a taper crimp on the forward driving band would...

I believe it was the late LTC Jeff Cooper who dubbed such items 'an ingenious solution to a non-existent problem.'

I don't know which mold you should get. I bought the Arsenal 358429 mold and think its the bee's knees.

I've had no problems loading this bullet in .38 Special cases for use in the relatively...

This mindset led me to spend years cleaning leaded bores resulting from using too-small bullets.

I have a M1903 Colt and a M1907 Savage. Both are better made than todays equivalent small auto pistols. The latter is over-engineered for the cartridge. Both have abysmal sights, which beyond...
