Thinking about and praying for you, Ji.
Give us a report ASAP!

Thanks to all for the feedback.

Slick,
The SFS I found has the Hogues, and from my initial impression I'll probably keep them on. I haven't found a Hogue equipped gun that fit my hand until now.

homefront

Well, took a trip to my local purveyor-of-all-things-ballistic, and found waiting there an "SFS" BHP. I have never seen a more unique and interesting safety system! For those who don't know about it (I didn't), I'll try to describe it: It works like this: 1) rack the slide to chamber a rou...

Thanks to all for the replies. I like the design/appearance of both pistols. Their overall dimensions are fairly close, and both are a little lighter and shorter than my Gov. model was. Despite their similarities, the CZ is a little more svelt and comfortable in my hand. As far as D/A first shot goe...

I've been shooting a friend's Beretta 92 lately, and have decided I would like to have a hi-cap nine of my own :mrgreen: . However, I just don't like the fit and feel of his 92 :cry: , and just cant warm up to Glocks or other tupperware. My local shop has a HP, and CZ-75B, and both have the heft of ...

Whom ever wins this election, we lose. Since the media (and the political machine you refer to) successfully drummed Ron Paul out, we have no other choices. We are still far, far better off getting strongly behind McCain/Palin. That is a step in the right direction, and it's something we can all ha...

If we lose this to Obama then it is one battle. If elected, I say we mark it by buying a brand new semi Auto. I want the new Ruger Mini-14. Make a nice "Militia" rifle if you know what I mean :) :wink: . Well said :D . Unfortunately, that one battle will spawn many more :x . I say that we...

My friend called me when the debate was over, and voiced my own thoughts; McCain gave answers, Obama slung empty rhetoric. Watching TV this morning, I noticed most of the babbling heads were handing victory to Obama, which is exactly the opposite of everything I personally observe both in the debate...

There's a lot of info here: http://forums.1911forum.com/index.php The general consensus seems to be Colt, Springfield, STI. There is a fair amount of criticism aimed at Kimber, though every one I've seen seemed to be of high quality. High end guns, like Wilson and Brown get the highest compliments a...

Thanks for all the replies.

Mr. pdawg,
Thank you for the kind offer. I will send you an e-mail.

Rusty,
i will research Veral Smith and his bullets. Thanks for the lead.

homefront

I have a ton (no exaggeration) of pure lead, waiting to be made into .54 caliber BP rounds for my Hawken. I'll certainly never use even a fraction of it that way, but it might be usable in my .38-55 if I paper patch the bullets. Anyone have paper patch experience? Can you direct me to a mold maker? ...

homefront

It's sounding like this is the perfect cast powder to try in my .38-55 with commercial hard-cast bullets. I have a .381 bore, and Roger's Better Bullets has a 255 gr. sized at .379. These are not at all accurate in my gun unless I use a faster powder like 4227. I also have an untried Rapine mold tha...

I said it before & I'll say it again, you got some gall; going out in that ocean in them little boats. A guy from N.M. can not even imagine going in the ocean in something that small. First, he's "Out on the Bay " Second, if you're going out on big water in a small craft, you can't do...

Ji, You'd be doing me a huge favor to take pictures every time you go out, and post them here as large as possible! A banks dory is a sweet thing that few people know of or understand. Your dad obviously knew, and understood! I'm sure he watches over you on every trip, just as my son watches over me...

The reason you can't find load data for that combo is because those bullets are designed for the 9mm and 38 Super. These are sized .358. My target loads in my 1894 consist of 125gr cast bullets sized .358 , 6.2gr of Unique, and CCI small pistol primers, in WW brass. That load is good for 1.5" ...

I've got a box of lead 125 grain RNFP's from Roger Better Bullets (King Of Prussia, Pa), that I'd like to shoot targets with using my 1894 Marlin. I just can't seem to find any data for lead bullets of that weight. I have Bullseye, Red Dot, AA#2, 231, Unique, Blue Dot, 2400, AA#7. I don't believe th...

Kirk, thanks. That is very useful to me.

Are you using a gas check on that bullet?

homefront

Looks like I need a copy of the Lyman Cast Bullet Handbook.

Thanks for the replies.

Thank you, this is a great start.

Can anyone point me to some load data?

This whole "death" thing never seems to go away.
Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Well, even at 57 years of age, if I'm ever impolite I have to cringe...I'm waiting for Grandma to give me a swat with the stick. God bless her, I burned it up in the stove once and she just went out and got a bigger stick. Too many kids nowdays need bigger sticks. More than the stick, they need som...

In digging through my powders I found a can of IMR 4759. I can't find any recipes for what I shoot (.38/.357, .41 mag, .44 mag, .30-30 and .38-55). When I bought it, I was probably looking for 4756 and grabbed this by mistake. I've heard that 4759 was supposed to be a black powder substitute, but ca...

Shelties are wonderful!

Power canoes are too - put a 3-4 hp outboard (or an electric) on it and those things are really pleasant and useful.

I worked in NYC for 12 years in advertising. To me, the WTC was like Mount Rushmore, the Lincoln Memorial, the Statue of Liberty - monuments to our history. To hear that it was attacked and destroyed was inconceivable. I had been out of the city for about 8 years, and was doing carpentry. I was in N...

She's a racist, plain and simple. Hates white people, blames them for every bad situation a black person could find themselves in. She also can't get over being black :shock: .

ONLY BUY A COMMERCIAL GRADE SAW, NO MATTER WHAT MAKE IT IS. The first clue is a plastic body - spells "consumer grade". You can get a commercial unit for $450-$500. Commercial grade is worth every extra penny. At that price, it won't be huge, but most of us don't need huge, and it will pro...

I'm another one who usually avoids this, but I'll throw in. To my way of thinking, we are either being asked to choose a sidearm and long arm to suit all possible needs for the remainder of our lives (end of the world scenario), or someone is trying to simplify their collection. To suit both possibi...

I don't understand what he did wrong. If the weapons were carried in cases, and he was wrong for doing so, how the heck else was he supposed to check in - with the rifles slung over his shoulders?

I'm sure he'll be successful at suing the window manufacturer, the builder, the homeowner, and his sneaker manufacturer.
If he twisted his neck when the shutter clicked, he'll sue the camera maker, too.

Do you guys have "normal" wives, or were they some sort of special mail-order women?

What's the reliability like on that "trailer park Uzi"? FTF, FTC FTE? I read one report that said that within 50-100 rounds the gun had to be cleaned, or powder residue would cause failures. Of course, it may not have been broken in, may have been cleaned improperly, may have used garbage ...

I'm interested in getting a 9mm semi-auto pistol/carbine combination. I once had a Marlin Camp Carbine in .45 ACP that took standard 1911 magazines, handled well, and added some zip to the cartridge.
