    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!

    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.

    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...

    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...

    Jdgabbard, it sounds like you’re dialed in on what you want and the hunt is on!

    I strongly advise to hold out for exactly what you want. It’s going to cost money and you might have to mail order,...

    If you’re mainly interested in 6 shots with 2” barrels, Lipsey’s has a S&W 6 shot 32 H&R J-Frame just put called the Ultimate Carry. It comes with night sights and VZ grips.

    Another recommendation for Uplula. I have one and a spare. Works great for any double stack or 1911. Gives more grip area to grab it than most. Just plain works.

    I’ve used Remington 5&1/2 the most. But I’ve also used S&B small pistol primers. Haven’t tried small rifle primers in the EZ. I’m ok with the primers flowing and oozing under the heavy pressure...
