    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...

    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.

    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'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...
