Thanks to this thread I started thinking about my needing a double hi-cap magazine holder. I tried putting mags in my cell phone holder and WOW, it was just like it was made for 9mm mags. Plus I use it for my cell phone when not on the range.

Blume I very much agree with what you are saying. However on Friday when I looked down and considered where my pocket carry gun was pointing, it was at the person sitting opposite me (groin or lower) or past him to a ladies group. Pocket carry does have several advantages, but I'm not going to...

This morning sitting in a bike shop / coffee shop with friends, a loud bang. Having been reading about lawsuits Sig had with guns going off – in holsters & untouched – I immediately thought about an accident. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/special-forces-pistols-1.5897942 Since my leg was...

I’ve worn a cross body bag (messager bag?) now for over 4 years. Started when my wife was doing chemo therapy, and I was carrying reading material / supplies for both of us. Book / ipad / barf bag / other extra’s Covid hit and I added hand sanitizer and extra masks. Yep is also has a rear...

Browsing through some Handloader mags recently I read an article about loading 9mm. One of the comments about loading “range pickup brass” is that the author was getting about a 6” group with a favorite load. Looking at his brass he found the OAL of the brass varied. By sorting the brass into...

Mobuck / Contender you are talking about 2 completely different things, and different ends of a loaded round. For AR / 223 you can reload with Mil spec small rifle primers that have a thicker primer cup. CCI PRIMERS, NO. 41, MILITARY STYLE SMALL RIFLE FOR 5.56 MM If you do not reload then...

Contender: shooting USPSA do you use 10mm or 40 S&W cases? I’m finding 5 different Moon clips that fit the Ruger GP100 10mm. Here is a bit from each website with some details I find interesting. Some brass is called out as not fitting. Apparently there is a difference in clips that should...

Just picked up new toy, a 10mm revolver. Handling it, it seems sweet! I don’t know when I will be able to try it out, the outdoor range is tough to get to – very primitive with a few inches of snow. The good news is the shop owner is a 10mm fan and has ammo in stock – Yea. Looking on...

Reloading is going to need a LOT of cartridges to fire off an average size guy. A cremation site lists 1 cubic inch per pound of live weight. So a 200 lb guy needs 200 CI after cremation. If you load all his cremains in cartridges you better have a progressive press and several Thousand...

Gramps If your H&R is a single shot like I think, then you already the the “case gauge”. Just drop a reloaded cartridge in the breach and it should go in with little resistance, slip right in. Yes bullets can fall right in an “unsized” case, that is why you resize them. Your seating die...

If the guns are not going to be used – storage - then controlling moisture is a way to stop rust. IF you can seal a cabinet or safe then consider using Nitrogen to purge the cabinet. https://nigen.com/what-is-nitrogen-purging-procedure-services/ What Is Nitrogen Purging? That is why the...
