Glasses.
Amen!
I’ve been blessed to have worn them since before first grade. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard a little “tick” hit my glasses. Machine shop, shooting, chemistry, carpentry,...

A few weeks ago I saw it on Starline’s site for about a half a day then it was gone.

Well you’ve got some good components. Like PettyPace, I’d be using Bullseye first.

For boolits, I’d load a few of each weight and see which ones shoot high, low or just right. I’d think 5...

Rapidrob, almost right.
Ruger DA 357’s use 1:18.75.
Ruger SA 357’s use 1:16.
Yep weird.

John Forrest, my opinion is thumb safeties are a personal thing like boxers or briefs.

I don’t want them on my polymer framed guns, but I’m fine with them on my 1903’s, 1911’s and Hi-Powers....

Ahhhhhh!
New pistol day.
The best day of the week!

Look at it the other way. Is there anything that doesn’t work?

I quit using anything marketed as a “gun” lube back in the 1970’s. Any refined light oil will work. Animal oils get stinky but...

Collector’s Firearms in Houston is an incredibly well stocked, full retail gun store. The sign on the front of the store says “Best Damn Gun Shop in the World”. Sounds like brag (duh), but when...

Thom, BigSlug got most of it said in post 13. But do have a look at the first post on the sticky above called “Revolver Inspection the right way - aka -wheel gun 101”.

My opinion is you’re...

Tall,
Okkk…..
I remember bumping into you in another thread here somewhere and you had that Target SAA out for work.
Super cool gun.

DaveM,
Sorry for the thread drift.

Don’t leave out the Sig P226. It’s hi-cap, hammer-fired, DA/SA with a decocker. Well made. It’s a toss-up whether I like my Hi-Power or P226 the best. Both shoot cast very well.

Outpost75, thanks for the info!

Tall, hey your Colt SAA above has an odd front sight on it. Also looks like a dovetailed rear in the top strap.
Mind posting a better pic or two?

Oh yes!
She’s a Beauty!
First, a tip of the hat to her previous Keepers. They did good. I’m hoping some day someone will say “I picked it up this morning and for a TWO century old gun it's in...

StrawHat thanks for posting the pics. Nice to see your beautiful old 45’s. Those maple magna’s are glorious! You are blest Sir!

Oh, I should mention I have the original stocks but prefer the VZ grips for shooting, so they stay on the pistol.

My 5” S&W 4th gets fed lots of Accurate 31-088W loaded base forward for a full meplat, over 3.5 grains Bullseye.

I like using the light wadcutter because I can shoot a lot for a little lead, it...

Oh yeah!
That’s a fine looking boolit.
Put 40,000 to 50,000 psi behind it and I’ll bet you grin!

This thread needs some pistol pics.
Here’s one.

Gee I’m starting to feel like a whimp for not stepping up and loading 25 acp……

I’ll admit to owning two 25 acp pistols.

I’ve considered setting up to cast and load for them, but decided to draw the line at 32 acp. So I bought a couple of boxes of factory 25 acp, fired the...

I did some measuring and comparing on mine vs my Browing Hi Power and posted here in a thread called: New SA-35 vs BHP Mark III Standard. Post numbers 7 and 9 explain why mine groups poorly. Sloppy...

Guns are power tools same as table saws or automobiles. They demand a level of mental and physical fitness. They are a two edged sword.

Cwtebay and Barry54, good posts. I’ll add two more...

I’ve never been shy about taking a die to the bench grinder to shorten, shape or adjust them to suit whatever situation I was dealing with. Mine will never be sold until I’m done and don’t care. So...

Thanks Pettypace.
I appreciate you dropping the data in Virgel.

There’s a retail shop in Houston called Collector’s Firearms. I see they have 3 used K-Frame 38’s in stock with 2” barrels. Their website is cumbersome. Makes you flip through lots of gun...
