The mighty Casey has struck out. The dovetail base on the sight is the same >short< width as the first sight. With only two Series 100 sights, I'm not positive, but it MAY be possible that the Millett Series 100 was designed for the P85, not the P85 MK II. The original P85 slide did not have the...

LPA P85 Sights TTF85RU Fiber Optic Sight Set Ruger P85, P89 (Green fiber rear, orange fiber front) http://www.lpasights.com/en/products/ttf85ru/ Odd, no suffix SPR85RU07 Black Target Sight Set Ruger P85-P89 (Black blade & black front ramp) http://www.lpasights.com/en/products/spr85ru07/...

A while back I thought that I had the Millet Series 100 P85 rear sight, but the dovetail base on the sight was woefully short, leaving about 3/16" of the slide dovetail slot uncovered. Which means the milled out recess for the firing pin block is exposed to the outside... And the sear block...

If your buddies can do good metalwork, me too! 357-44 Bain & Davis Floating Pilot Chamber Reamer http://www.reamerrentals.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=357-44BD.f Finishing reamer. If they can bore a chamber out of the 35 caliber barrel, this might fill the bill. No need for a front...

Wow. Went to Bullberry. They do chamber for the 357/44, but... wait for it... about $550 for a stainless rifle barrel. I always start off with the "ideal", and after the horrendous beating by reality, I might change my mind... For us old enough to remember the song about an attitude adjustment...

No hits on the barrel shank thread, either pitch or diameter. Plenty of hits on threading the muzzle. For subsonic, I'd rather load down. Pardon me, but when folks tell me that "any" gunsmith can rebarrel it, I cringe. Hey, Jo-Bob, grab a 1" round 1018 steel tube and make me a spankin-new...

That would require a 44 Mag magazine, and either opening the boltface up to a 44 Mag case, or finding a 44 Mag bolt. The rechambering would be straight forward. My #2 option after a new barrel... $325, where the heck is my wallet???

The 357/44 is a short 357 Maximum that fits within the envelope of the 44 Mag. My usual stand is about 30 yards to the east, and if I had seen something within 150 yards, I'd sure be making noise with a 41 Mag S&W 657 with a 6" barrel. My preference has always been a rifle. Easier to hold...

My apologies, the search function says "77/44" is not a valid search... I have someone with significant health issues that can't use manly-man guns, or drag out deer anymore. Tom turkey is about the upper limit. He actually quit deer hunting during the 2016 deer season and went to the emergency...

JPA-RP/22 JPoint mount adapter for Ruger "P" series center fire pistol and Ruger MKII or MKIII series pistol. Not compatible with the dovetail of the Ruger P345 model. http://jprifles.com/buy.php?item=JPA-RP/22

Surprisingly, I found it after only two minutes on the floor sweeping up spent primers, bird shot, and dirt with my hands... I was expecting a shiny ball bearing, and when the dark plunger turned up, I grabbed it out of a sense of desperation... Much easier if you are expecting the detent to be...

:shock: Well, I got a Mark II apart, reassembled, and function checked... Other than launching the detent plunger from the safety, it worked. Not as good as I hoped, not as bad as I feared. A bit fiddly, but better than some... Wanted to clean the grime from around the trigger, inspect the...
