    I walked into my LGS on a whim, bought 100 rounds of .357, paid and walked out. Took less than 5 minutes.

    Advice on revolver reload technique

    So we all seem to prefer the Ayoob style strong side reload then. Okey doke, that's the method I'll start working with. I should be able to keep a pouch right next to the holster. In fact I ordered a very unique type pouch that clips onto, behind and above the belt and orients the speed...

    Yes, I have also considered a gold bead sight as an alternative. There is one from SDM that would fit the bill. I am also planning on getting the Brownells Competition Rear Sight Blade to pair with it. This item would provide a deeper, slightly wider rrear notch and I think these two items...

    Advice on revolver reload technique

    All you revolver guys I am looking for opinions on what you prefer in terms of reloading techniques for defensive shooting situations. I will be putting my new 586 L-Comp into the carry rotation and have been researching this. I have seen a variety of techniques and they all seem to fall into...

    Smith & Wesson managed to fix my revolver.......after an age

    I wouldn't at all say that I am "used to" shooting 357s out of the 340. I shot a 50 round box of .357s on it's inaugural range trip and a cylinder's worth once since. I mostly shoot .38s out of it, indeed .38 Special +Ps are what I carry in it. While I didn't find .357 recoil from the...

    Starting a "What did you Get today" thread. Let's give it a try (dont forget pics)

    Nice little haul of products: a couple of grips for my L-Comp, a holster for yge same from 1719 gunleather andsome scope caps for my K16i 1-6 scope. Annnnd, neither of the grips fit. I knew the VZs wouldn't because I mistakenly ordered N frame ones and tge other grips don't give clearance to...

    200 rounds of Remington 125 gr .357 Mag SJHPs and tge best group of the day, @ 20 yards: Those Remingtons must be significantly more spicy than the Amscors regardless of what tte boxes say as recoil was significantly more than any 9, 40 , or .45 I have ever shot. Nevertheless still entirely...

    Range Day Pic Thread

    I left it home, just wanted to bring 1 ammo can and it was filled with .357 and .22s. But you are right, I should bring out the 340 whenever I bring the L-Comp. I still have 200 rounds of .38, I'll bring the 340 out later this week.

    Well, the L-Comp acquitted itself in fine fashion Thursday and we will see how it does tomorrow, that being Sunday, as I will be expending the 200 rounds of Remington .357 SJHPs that I recently bought. I have a further 200 rounds of Magtech .38 Specials also but I'm thinking I should be saving...

    Eastern Kentucky judge dies in courthouse shooting, county sheriff is arrested

    Hypothetically speaking? I belive I would attempt to imobilze the joints with deliberately aimed fire. Once having successfully immobilized the subject I would then straddle the subjects chest, pinning them down as I used a knife to remove the face off the skull while the subject remained...

    Smith & Wesson managed to fix my revolver.......after an age

    Indeed. Revolvers do seem to be more fun to shoot for some reason. Another pdd thing I noticed was that when I shot my 5 shot 340 I was always taken by how fast 5 rounds went, It didn't feel like enough like thw fun eneded too soon. Despite having only two additional rounds I didn't get that...

    Thanks! I'm just getting started with it and I intend to get better yet. I have that other 200 rounds to go through this weekend and no I am doing all kinds of mental maths to figure out on how to get much larger quantities of 357 as soon as possible. On that note: The recoil of .357 loads...

    Rather than start a new thread I just re-titled this one. A new title for a new start eh? Anyway since my newly repaired S&W has performed to my satisfaction I went ahead and ordered a basic but nice holster from 1791 Gunleather and those VZ grips I had been talking about. And also since it...

    Now it is time for a LOOOOONG overdue range report. Holy Frjioles is this ever overdue! I had a very bad attitude brewing as I headed to the range for a test firing after finally getting this thing back. I purchased a 50 round box of Armscor 158gr FMJ .357 Magnums and a 50 round box of PMC...

    Ak47 Question

    The Zastava imports are probably the best option for a traditional AK, domestic AK production quality is a bit spotty. If price is not a consideration however I of course recommend any of the Galil Ace models. The quality and performance is unequaled among Kalashnikovs and they are represent a...

    Opinions on the .223 60gr Winchester PDX1 load?

    I purchased 200 rounds to test out. Maybe I'll even get a block of sim test medium too, though it's quite expensive. I even got a further 200 rounds of .357 magnum so I get the free shipping for orders over $200. And on the off chance S&W ever gets my revolver back to me. In working order...

    Opinions on the .223 60gr Winchester PDX1 load?

    Namely do we think it would have decent performance from an 8.3" barrel out to 50 yards? I'm looking to bolster my dwindling supply of 64gr .223 Gold Dots as any of the .223 Gold Dots seem to be impossible to get for the last 2 years. Are they discontinued? SG Ammo is selling the PDX1s at a...

    PA Residency upcoming - what to get to celebrate?

    I'd say a proper, unmolested AR is in order and then a quantity of proper capacity magazines. The new Magpul TMag has recently started shipping, perhaps keep an eye out and get a few whenever they are in stock. Maybe buy a case or two of ammo if only to relish in having it shipped straight to...

    So I spent the last 2 hours haranguing S&W customer service. Each rep would eventually hang up after I refused to. One rep hung on for nearly 30 minutes straight which eventually devolved into a circular argument along tge lines of : "I don't know what to tell you sir" "Tell me my gun has been...

    Feds cut interest rate by 0.5% with more rate cuts planned for 24’

    Rate cuts are not what we need. Cheap money has destroyed our economy, what we need are massive cuts to government spending with attendant massive cuts to taxes. Interests rates SHOULD be somewhat high to discourage frivolous spending and investment in risky, unsound ventures. What we need...

    You have completely missed the point of the exercise which is not to punish customer service reps but to harass them to the point where they kick you up the chain until you come to the person that actually has the authority to correct the situation. CSRs are otherwise trained to resist moving...

    I have, they fixed it or so they claim and are sending back. I asked for a fiber optic front sight to be put on as compensation for my inconvenience and after 6 weeks weeks of delay I finally was told that all custom work (like replacing sights) has a 6-9 month wait time. I told customer...

    Two S&W revolvers in a row having to immediately be returned to S&W for repair and a 6-9. MONTH backlog on performance center work has me disagreeing with you. Short sighted boomer business policy of maximizing short term profit by sacrificing quality has taken its toll.

    Hobo knife

    That reminds me of how we used to hear MREs in the exhaust pipe of out HEMTTs. The outlet tip had a 90 bend, facing up, just before where it terminated and MRE pouches would sit in the pipe. When they'd been in there long enough you choose the go pedal and out they'd pop.
