I don't care for the clean up, either the rifles or the guest bathtub, but it's as much of the process as the slow loading/shooting is. I really enjoy the opportunity to spend some time with my Dad at the family 'range' when we shoot them. Might only be 20 slow shots or so but we get some good...
200 .38spl primed cases, these will be Trail Boss plinkers.
150 .357mag primed cases, these will be hotter 158 Lil'Gun loads for my R92.
After those i will be getting into my primer stash for some 32mag and 9mm.
Then a lot of spent primers to remove amd cases to prep in all the above. I have...
My 1911 experience started with a Springfield A1 type in .45. Enjoyed it but got a chance to trade it for a Stainless Blackhawk in a more common caliber for me. I have since picked up an RIA GI in 9mm and a Springfield 911 in 9mm. One gets carried and the other is in the get home bag along...
My Dad has one of these and it shoots very well. He is not afraid to try a 'budget' firearm and he says that this one is a winner. Hopper helped him with a spring change and the trigger is fantastic now. Much better than on my stock P-01
The Reeder Double Duece is a .22mag on a single six frame so probably not any issue with the trigger guard squared off. His website says $1695.00 on my base gun which I thought seemed reasonable, but i haven't priced similar elsewhere. Plus, i really like the look!
Is there anybody local who...
Picked up a few .22s in '21 and two were rifles. Got a new 10/22 scoped combo to replace the one that my daughter claimed. Hopper helped with the sight in so we could smoke a little pot! The little 2" terracotta pots are a fun 100yd target! Second buy was a Henry Evil Roy and Roy is about...
Smith & Wesson M&P .22 Compact...ran 500 rounds of Federal bulk through it before it's first cleaning with no issues.
I did .22's in '21. I think this year will be for rolling my owner, at least until i run short on primers.
Happy New Year everbody!
The garage work reminds me that I have a piece of our old kitchen counter down in the basement waiting to become a reloading bench. Time to see how my landscape construction skills will translate to inside, though my last project didn't turn out to bad.
Anybody here have a custom by Reeder? Worth the cost for you? I stumbled across their Double Duece online and I really like the idea. I have an older new model single-six that would be a good candidate for the work and I wouldn't miss it much while it is gone. Attached is a pic from...
Added a Ruger Bearcat to my pair of single-sixes last week. Stainless with adjustable sights. Love the look with the wood grips and can't wait to take it to a range to give it a test.
Nice write-up Trapper! Just picked up a early flattop in 357 with the 6.5" barrel. I hope it shoots as well as your 41! Any tips or tricks to maximize the potential?
Great review on one of my favorites as well! Currently have three in my stable at the moment. .32H&R and 2 in .22 though neither had the .22mag cylinder. Thinking to see if Ruger would go through mine with the 9.5inch barrel as there is some rotational play in the cylinder when compared to my...
Elijah Craig Small Batch is my 'everyday'...Woodford Double Oaked is a little over $50.00 and is my 'weekend' bourbon of choice.
Lot of ones in here that I need to try now though!
686 or GP100 in 4"...pick either and be happy!
Was there a requisite for DA? A Flattop Blackhawk depending upon geography.
Go all out an get the convertible for a little 9mm fun as well?
