I bought a 4-lb can of clean shot about three years ago, and have used it for .38 special, but mostly for 9mm and 45ACP. Given my current rate of consumption I will have it for a good long while. ...
I wondered the same thing. I thought there were some airweight .357s, but maybe they were just .38.
I'm on board with Froggie and Thundarstick. Before COVID when all ammo was abundant, 32H&R was the only thing harder for me to find on the shelf than 327FM. And seeing that 327 is only 1/8" longer...

I was just shooting my 9422 last weekend. My mom bought it for my dad new in the '70s, and I got it after my dad passed.
I have had an eye on the Taurus as well, but I was one of those really wanting a 3" barrel. I have an SP-101 4" and love its versatility, but it's a bit long for convenient carry. I've had pretty...

I got an email from Midway a few weeks ago and was able to buy a couple hundred rounds of brass. I think anyone that doesn't reload .327 has probably not been shooting it for a couple of years now.

I have a couple cans of Green Dot that are still in the cardboard container. One is still unopened, the other I opened and fired a few rounds. Seems fine, but much smokier than modern powders.

I have a large carbon tank that I bought before inexpensive compressors were ubiquitous. There is a dive shop 70 miles away - each way - that will fill the tank to 4500psi, and even sells an...

I usually shoot at the local indoor range on Saturdays, the same day they offer the first-time CCW classes. It's always interesting, occasionally entertaining and periodically scary to hear the...

I think a 25-20 would be hilarious fun, but I stay away both from the "collectible" rifle cost and scarce ammo/brass. I have .327 and that's hard enough!
Speaking of which, I was able to buy the...

I found that my Hornady LnL press needed a different shell plate for 32ACP. The one for 32 S&W would work...but not well....

Need options? For close to that price, you can also get a Beeman Chief for under $200 on a proper deal. Here it is on Amazon, if you live in a free area where they will ship one......

I will only add that RimRock bullets sells a gas checked 115gr .32 bullet. https://rimrockbullets.com/xcart/g-ch-32-115-gr-rnfp-per-100-in-a-plastic-ammo-box.html

I use an open-source, free program called HomeBank. http://homebank.free.fr/en/
It will run on Windows, MacOS, or even linux if you like. I just use it for my home checking account so nothing too...

I would like to do it, but not at the prices they charge.
I have Leapers (actually UTG) etched glass scopes on a few of my air rifles. I bought one of them from an amazon warehouse deal during COVID and was dissatisfied with a little blurring around the...
I think a 4" SP-101 in .327 like the one I have would fill that bill well. You have the option to shoot low or high power loads as desired.

I tell myself it's to test for deer hunting, but it's really academic since IL law requires "factory ammunition with published ballistics". It's as dumb a requirement as only allowing single shot...
I always keep my eye out for a 6" .327 GP100 (I've actually never checked to see if they made one...) and a Beretta 81BB in .32ACP.
I think .32 must be the caliber for people who love a...
I still think the .327 rifle hasn't gotten nearly the attention it deserves...maybe because only one company makes one??!!
I think I've had my SP101 for four years, and I can literally count on one hand the number of times I was able to buy .327FM ammo off the shelf. I've seen 32-long and 32ACP fairly often, but have...
Keep me informed!

I have two handloads developed that I would like to use with my Henry rifle, and I'm curious if there is a way to test bullet expansion without doing the whole ballistic gelatin thing. One uses a...
I must admit that after owning a .327 SP-101 4" for a while, I kind of wish I had bought two guns, a 3" SP-101 or similar and a 5-6" GP100. The 4" is a little long for carry and a little light for...
