I never turn people to a circumstance of neglect. Buy it.
You can always sleep in the garage. Or outside. Whatever. Camping is fun. She'll get over it.

I have a SF and have found it to be absolutely phenomenal. Great trigger, great feel, and about 1/2 the price of other comparables. However, I picked up a M&P 2.0 about a year after that, and it...

I would definitely not send it to Remington for anything. Also, may be worth having the barrel re-crowned first. Might solve all of your accuracy problems.
I think you hit it square on the head with your comments. I don't consider it to be competition for the 1911. It's just way too different. But the bottom line is, it's lighter, has a higher magazine...
The polymer is not used on any of the main stress bearing components of the firearm. Those parts are steel. I hated them until I forced myself to start using one. They are now the guns I shoot,...
Even with those freespins, fitting is sometimes required. Not usually, but occasionally.
So, if it's doing that with a freespin pawl installed, you still need to fit it. All of my Blackhawks get a freespin. I have one that required a considerable amount of material to be removed to get...
What is the loading gate situation? Just that the chambers don't line up?
I've watched a lot of this guy's videos. They're usually pretty interesting, although I wish they were a little longer. If you check his video list, you can find another on one of the variants that...
They're not marked the same. Serial prefixes indicate it's the large frame. I get your point, but they are different. I think with this one being made in 44, it probably wasn't a concern, but may be...
Your hardware store has new ones at $450!!??? All the stores I've looked at have Blackhawks for $600-700. Although, I see Bud's is showing them for $500.
I think $400 is a fair price on what...
I think they're going to have to get more competitive on their prices to move them very fast. I can still pick up a Glock for that price, and don't have any trouble finding magazines. Sure, the...
So, I've got a newer-to-me original Vaquero in 45 colt. I've got some Titegroup, Red Dot, Unique, and Lil Gun sitting on my desk. The projectiles will be Berry's plated in 185 grain, and I have...
I ran across a guy on another forum recently running Xtreme's in his Glock 10mm. I doubt you'll have any problems.
None of the plated bullets are going to be as hard as FMJ. They're basically no harder than normal hard cast lead, I think due to the copper plating being so thin. I've also heard that the way the...
So they say everything is handgun then? Also find it curious that they contradict the federally defined description on rifle, handgun, and shotgun.

I mailed them to ascast yesterday. I'm in the process of trying to consolidate and simplify my ammunition needs, and really don't want the extra clutter. I'd be interested to learn more about the...

There are also a few other articles on John's website. They're all worth reading.
Sorry, I don't know the answers to...
It's a balancing act. I would suggest reading John Linebaugh's articles. There are proponents of both calibers, and both have good reasons. I have my reasons for sticking with the 45 colt, but I'm...

I'm going to give ascast a few more days. I don't wish to drop an exchange halfway through, or shortly after an interested party states their intentions. I'll get in touch with you if I do not hear...
44MAG#1, the OP had a legitimate question. The O.K. KIDD has been researching a super blackhawk for a while, and obviously has some reloading questions and is newer to the craft. Better to be...

I'll go down and count them out and see how many there are. I'll let you know soon.

I just got a handful of once fired 30-30 cases, and the seller mistakenly had a smaller handful of 303 Savage cases included with the exchange. I don't really blame him, he was great to deal with,...
Once you track down the original style replacement blade, you should talk him into swapping out the whole rear sight with something a little stronger. The stock rear sight is not overly robust. I...
