I've owned 2 10/22s. Both were/are reliable and capable of taking squirrels to 50 yards. I've had my current one for 35 years. When I first bought it I installed a volquartson hammer which brought...

Lee in their manual says not to use federal primers. A close friend of mine had a tray of federals go off in his pro 1000, fortunately he was wearing glasses and saved his eyes.

A lot depends on your budget as it does for many of us.

My 1957 K-22 that I recently bought to replace one I foolishly traded away in the 80's. I do enjoy fondling and shooting my wife's 4 5/8" single six.
I've been studying on this myself. I've used a six round cartridge slide from El Paso Saddlery previously. Now, I've concluded that I'll get a speed strip pouch from Simply Rugged to hold a half...
I bought or test fired a number of guns in my search for the right one for me over the years. I have come to rest on the Shield Plus. For the rare occasions that I need to pocket carry I have my...

I have not. I'll pull some tonight and check.

Need a little help from those with more experience.
I recently started using Hitek coating on my 9mm bullets and am getting substantial leading after approximately 100 rounds fired. These are...
I can only comment on the Shield +. I've had mine for a couple of months. Perfect fit for my slightly below average sized hands with both the 10 & 13 round magazines. Uses the same holsters as my...
My wife picked out a 380 EZ for herself due to difficulty racking the slide on her LC9s. She has no problem manipulating it and so far it's proven reliable (no last round stove pipes that I've heard...

I have no intention of relying on a .22 for personal defense but if I were forced to go that route My S&W M&P .22 Compact would fill the bill. It's proven itself to be reliable and accurate over...
I've had two Ruger .45 Colt cylinders done by him. Super satisfied!

I went from a single stage Bonanza press that I used for over 35 years (still use it some) to a Dillon 550C. Doing batches I turned out 100 rounds an hour with the Bonanza. Using the Dillon at a...

I started reloading 41 years ago and casting 35 years ago. My first reloader was a Lee whack-a-mole for .38. A couple of years later I bought a used Bonanza single stage and "gasp" carbide dies. ...
I carried a Glock as my issued side arm for my entire career (17, 22, & 23). I still have the 23 that was given to me at retirement. I always respected their reliability and durability but they...

My .22 ammo falls in two categories, hunting and practice. I have a couple thousand rounds of my preferred hunting ammo (squirrels) and several thousand rounds of mixed brand ammo that I primarily...
I usually shoot my defensive handguns at 7-15 yards with the round count about evenly split.
Agreed. I've been hearing this quoted for over 40 years. If the inverted HBWC was as good as is often claimed, every manufacturer would have it prominently placed in their line up.

I have a Lee 20# that I've been using for several years. An occasional problem with dripping but a few twists of the pin clears that. When first firing it up the spout will sometimes freeze up. A...
A five screw K-22. Traded it for something else. That revolver enabled me to become a better shot than I ever was before and collected many squirrels for me.
