    Pachmayr Gripper grips for my GP-100

    I've been wanting to try some Pachmayr grips on my GP-100, specifically a softer version called The Gripper. However, in reading customers comments on Midway and Amazon, a number of people are saying that for some reason the Pachmayrs are not lining up with the screw holes on the GP-100 frame...

    Such a nice Christmas...

    I finally got to shoot my new pistol that my wife got me for Christmas. I put 100 rounds of Winchester white box thru it today without a single hiccup. I was shooting at a 6 inch gong about 21 feet from me and hitting it consistently once I settled down. The sights were dead on right out of...

    Ruger Mini-14-180 series

    I just picked up a Ruger Mini-14, 180 series, made in 1977 at an estate sale. I onwed a Mini-30 years ago for a short time but I traded it so I never got familiar with the rifles. The stock is beat up pretty bad, everything else is in good shape. I know these aren't the most accurate rifles...

    My searching shows some (very few) fairly high velocity loads, around 1400 FPS; but these are not from companies, they are from inidviduals. I've also found a number of powders that the fastest loads listed are around 1000 FPS, these are in my books and official websites. I'm wanting to go to...

    How fast can I push these?

    I have some 215 grain RNFP 41 caliber bullets. How fast can I push these out of my Blackhawk before leading gets to be a problem? They are listed as Brinell 18 on hardness.

    Hunting with a Blackhawk?

    The loudness of the cocking of the pistol has crossed my mind. I guess all I can do is hope that the deer doesn't notice. My ideal pistol for this would be a double action Redhawk in 41 magnum, but I don't have that kind of money at this time. I have a Vaquero in 45 Colt with a 7 1/2 inch...
