It's very natural for us. But we pay cash for vehicles and never have a car payment. Pencil it out and we are way ahead putting a grand here, a grand there in solid old heaps.
I just dropped 1k in...

We're a ways from town, our heaps gotta go 300,000 miles to make me happy and we've had good luck with that. No more kids in sports or at school so our miles are much less now, school was 35 miles...

About 80% of our .357 rounds are loaded as fast as we can drive them, if for no other reason than because it's fun.

And about 100% of them are either a hard cast SWC or an XTP, both at 158 or so....

That's a good start.
I've got 3 daughters, all of them living snub life even with auto options available, for some reason.
Oldest daughter did buy a G48 this year tho. Middle daughter might move to...

Well, since this threads been brought back from the dead, and I'm going to buy some version of these little 12 ga. to carry as a "bigger than a handgun" on a motorcycle as I have a place it'll fit I...

I agree with the "use a heavier XTP" crowd but would also be happy to use a Hard cast WFN, or an XPB.
XPB's at 18" velocity will fold the petals back farther/flatter, that doesn't bother me. My XPB...

Right, they haven't shown on the website for several years now. I've been watching.
There might be a lot of NOS still floating around, or they may still make them and have a mistake on the website.

I like the flat sided feel of Pachmayr Grippers but I don't think they've made them for N frames for a long time. I've used 2 sets of K/L Grippers and they
've fit for me, others say they won't fit...

It's a significant step up.

454 is a pretty high pressure offering and produces significant recoil along with the significant power.
Does the 300 grain XTP hold up at 454 velocities? Maybe, I...

The only Single Six I've had (a SS 6 1/2") was/is the second slickest Ruger I've ever seen (behind my No. 1 Tropical but that's a whole nuther world) and I still marvel at how nice that gun is (it's...

There's very little gel test info on .44 Spc (that I've ever found).

Barnes used to have what appeared to be legit gel test results on their site for the 200 grain TAC-XP (now called the XPB) in...

Very much agreed, one man's full size is anothers "too big", my oldest daughters G48MOS in her hands equals or exceeds an N-frame or Govt. model in mine.
So many people ignore that.

I'm pretty local to Finks and know of several guns that have gone thru his shop and have never heard a negative word. Even with some fairly hard to please customers, they all say nothing but good...

I guess I was always neutral on Bill Wilson, I know his company makes some solid products but........
Bill can suck it now.
My Dad (10th SF) carried a gun far beyond "Bill's" arbitrary cutoff...

I'm in the (minority) camp of: put dedicated buckshot chokes in them (specially as the barrel gets shorter), buy a variety of cheap(er) Federal (or other) buckshot loads and see what rocks to your...

How do you "keyhole" a spherical buckshot pellet ???
Larger patterns, ok, but keyholing ??

Buckshot chokes can and do emulate the best flight control patterns but they aren't catching on in a...

The proper quote is "the LOVE of money is the root of all kinds of evil".

I have to say, Eric Gelhaus' threads on what goes thu Gunsite and what breaks give me solid "need" of a secondary/emergency sighting method before I screw on a red dot. Of course as JCN said, slide...

Sometime this week, I'm going to try sighting down the barrel of this 329, sort of, using the shallow V like space where the cylinder profile meets the top strap. I can do that with a normal firing...

Yes I've got the material & tools to make a front blade if need be but much higher than the factory sight puts me in a bind holster wise. Not everbody & their brother is making N-frame holsters that...

It's not horrible, it's useful at least for a limited number of situations.

But it will unseat bullets and loosen screws if you're not careful.

I might try the "barrel index" on some different...

You've never shot a 25 ounce .44 mag have you :p

I'd really like to add a rds to a revolver, the thing that's stopped me from jumping in is the lack of buis, the revolver recoils at a high velocity so is a candidate to shear screws or kill an optic...

OK, then you could go the other direction. Like a 22-250 or 220 Swift in a classic old rifle. Those prairie dogs aren't going to kill themselves :rolleyes:

That .375 is nice.

My suggestion would be a Ruger No. 1 in 45-70.
Beautiful to look at, can launch big slugs slow if you want, or not. Very short for barrel length due to the action.

I do...
