    Laser Accuracy - Overcoming "The Shakes"

    This is what I use and suggest. Nobody can hold on target for any real length of time. I also suggest the link below, and I feel that this is what I do...or try to do. It shows what you should see. Best regards http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntB1pFyp3Pc I shot this target two days ago; is...

    Buffalo Bore WT_...that can't be good.

    Hi Vern, I've NEVER reloaded 9mm, but I've reloaded thousands of .45 ACP, .45Colt, .44 Special, .44 Mag and I think the results are similar. Federal has "often" been suggested, by the "big boys" in gun-lore, as the favored brass for reloading, as it is consistently the heaviest. I believe...

    Revolver reliability vs Semi Auto for SD

    Well, Buck, I'm not surprised you haven't seen any bullet jump with factory stuff. They're almost hot enough to be Cowboy loads. :) S2

    Ruger vs Colt SAA Vs FA 97?

    Rugers will hold about any .45 LC cartridge you stick in 'em, unless it's a New Vaquero. Get the original model if you want to hunt black bear with heavy Colt loadings. I think I would reco only the Ruger if you will be reloading for hunting. For Cowboy loads, you have no problem with any of...

    Rare Ruger Super Blackhawk

    I've got this friend.... Heard that one before? Yeah, this buddy has a NIB, unfired, Ruger .357 Maximum, 7 1/2" bbl (I believe) in yellow box, in brown box, and is seeking a price. I told him I'd ask you guys. My old Red Eagle price list gives $760, but it's quite old. I'd guess about...

    NEW QUESTION ADDED Light strikin' 9c- after all my bragging

    I went through all of this a year ago. I sent light hit and new cartridges to Winchester/Olin; they said the problem was the gun. Please read my link which I wrote one year ago. The problem is/was a too-short striker spring. Ruger replaced it with a longer spring which maintained a positive...

    Ransome Rest or held in Hands

    daddyflea Location: Riesel TX I will start this. I am not sure a Ransom rest very accurately tests the accuracy of a Pistol. I think a pistol held in rested hands is usually more accurate. -------------------------------------------- IMO, sir, you are mistaken. The Ransom Rest comes...

    Basic understanding of firearms (pistols) right/wrong?

    It's a matter of retracting the slide enough, maybe no more than 1/8" to make the gun incapable of firing. S2

    Birthday present suggestions

    Just remember if it's too heavy, she won't carry it. If it's too light, she'll hate the recoil. Avoid the LCP. She'll never hit anything with it and will not like shooting. You wouldn't pick out her bra; don't pick out her gun. Sonnytoo
