The toggle lock on the ‘73s is the smoothest of the pistol caliber actions. With a short throw lever kit the 1873 action can be run the fastest of any of the traditional lever guns, hence their...

I just got a new R92, 16” .44.
From what I’ve read the quality control on the Rossis has increased significantly over the past few years. The price certainly has.
It’s smooth as can be right out...
An appendix holster will print worst at the back corner of the grip (top). In that case most extended magazines or grip extensions will print less then a longer grip even if they wind up being the...
Sample size of 2.
I have 2 G48s one original silver slide and the other an MOS with TLR7 and 407K. I have about 5000 rounds through each. Mostly 124gr plated reloads but a couple hundred...
I can’t believe Unique powder is 125 years old and still a top performer.
I also use it for my .45 200gr XTP load which is pushing 1050 fps. And my .380 XTP load which is over 1000.
My only issues...
I based my load on the one that the author of the highpowersandhandguns blog used as a hunting load on pigs to great effect.
Unique powder and a 124gr XTP loaded up to 1270 fps out of my Glock 17....
The 200gr .45 in +P pressure does pretty well too.
10mm XTPs in full power guise are quite effective rounds.
And the .380 xtp has been the gold standard for decades for moderate expansion while...
It doesn’t handle barriers like auto glass very well. The more modern offerings like gold dot and HST offer better barrier performance and expand better to boot.
I think a XTP driven a bit faster...
If if a used lever 30-30 was still 300$ I’d say you do need one.
I still see the odd 94 up for around 500$ on the used market here in Canada. Marlins are stupid expensive.
As it stand right now I’d...
If it’s cheap buy as much as you can.
It might be 54r powder which is gtg in 308 or 5.56
Then just load to the velocity you want and don’t push it to the upper limit for the cartridge.
2750 for a...
Double post
I use Howies pro tape on my G19 Gen 3, G43 and an old Rossi revolver.
Very secure grip. I really like it. Makes a huge difference.
My only issue with it is my fingers can have a bit of hesitation...
That 3” load of plated #2 buckshot doesn’t pattern very well in my 20gauge from either a IC or Modified choke.
It also has a lot of recoil.
I have about 30 rounds of it but have been eagerly...
I haven’t shot mine since last summer.
If there was .410 birdshot available locally I’d shoot it more. Ammunition availability is a big problem with 410s the last few years.
I’m tempted to start...
Speaking from an appendix carry standpoint.
The G26 won’t have as much print from the back corner of the grip which is the usual offender for printing when carrying appendix.
There will however be...
I wonder if this holds true of the 7 round flush fit for officer length frames.
I have 4 of them I’ve been using in a SIG CCO for over a decade with no issues but I don’t carry it (Canada true North...
Gold dot 124gr +P is my preferred load in the 17 and the 19 but out of deference to what I’ve read on this forum I won’t run it out of either of my G48s or my 43.
I bought some 115gr Critical...
I have 2 G48s and shoot them a ton. Ones a original silver slide and the other is a MOS with TLR sub and 407k.
Never had any reliability issues with either of them.
They are just as accurate as my...
My cast balls are .375 for a .36 Pietta revolver.
They cut a ring of lead when seated in the cylinder. The balls usually compress and swell on firing to get up to rifling diameter.
I think .36...
By my calculations this load will have about 2/3 the recoil of a 8 pellet reduced recoil 00 buckshot load.
Seems like the recoil in a lighter 20 gauge frame should be similar to a soft shooting...
I might have missed it but did they mention what generation it’s for.
My G19 is Gen 3 so fingers crossed 🤞
I’ve been running a big Comp but want to trim the gun down a bit. Switching to a Micro...
Caleb just posted a short gel test.
The H&R mag snub didn’t expand through heavy clothing. But it did tumble twice and get out to 16”.
I think I’d prefer a good sharp wadcutter.
...
I installed a Defender Tactical short shell kit on my Shockwave.
It’s worked perfectly with all the 2.75” shells I’ve run through the gun with it installed. Probably around 200 so far.
I’ve only...
I’m totally pumped.
The lack of low-recoil flite control in 20 gauge has been holding me back from considering it a viable fighting option.
When I can order some in Canada I’ll finally get a 20...
From my informal YouTube research the 170gr bullets tend to penetrate a bit deeper and expand less which makes sense with the lower velocity.
I’d suggest watching a few test videos from a source...
