    If you hit is hard enough it won't be "stuck" any longer :cool:

    Super Blackhawk Bisley 5 shot 454 Casull

    The grip makes a world of difference. You don't let a magnum "roll", you hold on to it and the Bisley is just better at that.

    9 mm Ammo

    Bingo! It makes zero sense to handload "blasting" ammo, when you can buy it in pretty boxes for the same cost as components now, regardless of the equipment. I handload defensive ammo and defensive practice ammo, but FMJ doesn't pay.

    Target shooting problems

    You just have to learn to use your trigger finger independently of the hand. Start with a slow press, painfully slow, while aiming at the bull @ 7 yards. Keep the front sight on the bull the entire time you press the trigger. Repeat, slowly increasing speed. I got my daughter through this...

    Is it safe to fire .38 rounds out of a .357, or will it damage the revolver?

    Well, so much for coming to the defense. Makes me also go "huh"?

    New member with LCP Max Issues

    Ya, to base reliability on the results with only one cartridge is folly. You don't have to buy top shelf, but something else. I handload, and loaded some ammo with Titegroup for the daughter's LCP. The gun would not run, period, the extractor would occasionally leave the fired case halfway...

    Is it safe to fire .38 rounds out of a .357, or will it damage the revolver?

    Thinking The Hobby Gunsmith missed the "revolver" detail. Everything has a jump to the rifling in a revolver. As to OP, what I did was flare a 357 case and filed a few "teeth" into the case mouth. I then drilled the primer out and threaded small bolt so I could chuck it in my cordless to use...

    These lists are nothing but opinion polls. I ignore them.

    New Red Dot first time shooting today.

    The key is to use a target that accomodates the reticle. I like a large "donut" with the middle about twice the size of the dot. Put the dot in the "hole" and you can shoot some pretty nice groups.

    AR-556 suddenly wont eject casings today

    I agree. But I do not spend time cleaning guns that have already been cleaned and lubed after use, just for something to do.

    Screw size info for you

    I have walked into the local Mac's with all sorts of assemblies, large and small, and headed right to the screw aisle.

    AR-556 suddenly wont eject casings today

    You clean guns that are clean, just to clean them again? I often have guns sit for some time after use, after cleaning, some for more than a year. I do agree that lube might need to be freshened.

    New Red Dot first time shooting today.

    Does the FF3 allow you to manually adjust the intensity? I do not like red dots that auto adjust as it can be difficult to pick up the dot in certain conditions such as shooting from a shaded area into bright sunlight. I also prefer shake awake or similar auto live function. Athlon makes a...
