    It is a hodge-podge, without knowing exactly where you are going, nobody, not even the Attorney General can give a specific answer. While it is legal in some areas, in the main on BLM land. It is...

    I prefer my Sigs, but the only one I carry these days is my P-6. It is more accurate than my S&W 39-2 and fits my hand far better than the Beretta. However of the three you asked about, I'd go with...

    If you go with the S&W, get a 4 digit model. (5904, 5906 etc). The original 59's were problematic: not very accurate, seldom reliable with HP ammo, generally crummy triggers--there wasn't much...

    Lyman made the 358-395, 148 grain, 38 Caliber, hollow base, wad cutter. They were somewhat popular in the 30's -- the 50's, but a single cavity doesn't cut the mustard when you are shooting...

    The Colt Army special has a bigger cylinder, ~1.54" to ~1.45" and the cylinder stop cut outs are off set slightly, so that they are not directly over the thinned part of the cylinder wall. The...

    Well, it depends on what you want to do. If you want a 357 load for defense against hair, teeth and claws, your N-110 will do you well, though a full charge in the 14.0 grain weight will be...

    The only fly in the ointment that I see is that you are shooting a 340 grain payload out of a 29 0z. revolver (Federal 4 pellet 000 buck load, 850 fps). If I did the math right, that works out to...

    Um, the 1975 version of me would give it a go, but the 85 ft/lb free recoil would be way too much for the 2024 version with it's old, broken-down parts. For what it's worth, I don't shoot any of the...

    The nose diameter needs to be no more than .340, if you are loading for a Japchester. The transition from chamber to rifling in those is quite abrupt. I'd spec it at +.000, -.002

    Umm, .383 is different than 7.92mm.

    .383 would be about 9.7 MM, while the 7.92 is commonly loaded with .323-.325 boolits. NOE makes a bunch of molds in the .321-.328 range, as does Accurate. ...

    If you wish to load them in 38 Specials, Lyman used to make a 195 grain boolit, the 358-430 (mine cast closer to 205 grains--I never used Lyman No.2, just wheel weights). In their 45th Edition, they...

    I am no fan of the 38/357 Sp101. Too heavy for a 38, too light for a 357, only 5 shots; it doesn't really do what I want a small frame revolver to do. I have a 4 inch 327 with adjustable sights...
