    Simply Rugged Sourdough vs. Mernickle P6 SA holsters

    I bought the Simply Rugged Sourdough holster along with the Chesty Puller support system and I'm very pleased with the quality and service. It's a great setup for my New Vaquero Sheriff's .44 spl. hud

    My Mausers (New .45-70 pix)

    Beautiful guns,CD. The Mausers are classics. I've only owned a couple of Mausers. I recently sold a Spanish Mauser that had been re-chambered to 308. I think it was a K98? It was a solid gun. Here's my collection of Mauser now...It's a Mauser MN410b, .22lr. It was made in the late 1930's and...

    .44 Special powder

    No one mentions Red Dot currently for the.44 spl....? I am going to start reloading for my New Vaquero .44 spl (3.75" bbl) and reading up a little on loads I see a lot of folks like Red Dot with somewhere in between 5.5 and 6.5 grains and a 240 gr LSWC. Not looking for anything real hot, just...

    The Cleanest 66 I saw in a While

    Not a 66 but a 67... One of my Pa-in-law's service revolvers he used for dressin' up. Shot very little but the trigger is butter smooth. hud

    Sig Sauer P245 ???

    Had one once, don't think they are rare although they are no longer produced. Rock solid, just like all Sigs but was a little on the heavy side for CCW in my opinion. The grip was just a little too short for me. There is an extended magazine if you can find one. I would not pay the price that...

    Do we wish for monsters?

    I think there's a segment of our society that enjoys being afraid. hud

    Simply Rugged Sourdough vs. Mernickle P6 SA holsters

    ....worn crossdraw style I want to buy one of the "combo" type holsters that gives me the option of wearing it crossdraw or strongside. I have pretty much narrowed down the field to the two holsters listed. They seem to be highly regarded by all and are in a price range that's good for me. My...

    Brass grip shims

    If you added the brass without taking some of the grip material away you'd lose your flush fit to the frame wouldn't you?

    Brass grip shims

    Yeah, you'd have to take out as much grip material as the brass that was added. My fingers are too old, fat and clumsy these days...but I might give it a shot someday. hud

    Brass grip shims

    I thought about trying this and I have some friends in the jewelry repair business who would have the ability to buff them out for me. I may try it when I get a break.... ...one of these days. hud

    Brass grip shims

    No I don't have any photos. The only thing I can compare it to is the liner on an old Case pocketknife... hud

    Brass grip shims

    Probably not much more than 1/32". It's just a line on either side of the grip frame. hud

    Brass grip shims

    I have seen thin brass shims or inserts fitted between the grip frame and the grips of handguns. It makes a very neat looking job and the brass adds a nice detail. Is there a source for these brass inserts or are they pretty much a do-it-yourself project? Thanks, hud
