I'm a fan of Unique in 9mm. 5gn under a 124gn works like a charm. For me, at least. Good luck. C

Cool!!! Thanks. C

PB. Thanks for the recommendation. I will DEFINITELY be looking for that. Not sure where I'm gonna look, but I'll be looking. I'm just getting into the competition thing. JM is, honestly, the only name I know. Any more information that anyone can provide on some of the better shooters of days past will be very appreciated. C

I'm no Pizza Bob. However when I come across something cool, I figure I'll let everyone on here know. Cute in an ugly kind of way S&W 649 in .357mag. Some scratches on the right side plate. They are asking 400 for it at Davis. They have some kinda rough model 19's I think. Prices are ok I guess. I want to say in the 4's but don't quote me. BNIB S&W 617 4". I just bought a gun from this guy. Very easy to deal with. If you decide to give him a shout, mention me. For no other reason than it would be nice. [email protected] 740-624-7247 His name is Jim Ritchie. I think he's asking low 7's. I have no affiliation with either place. I receive no compensation. Just passing along a decent deal and a place to find a hard to find gun. C

I would like a copy... Either thru Amazon or on DVD. Please let me know how to procure one. C

I've sent the friend request. If you can PM me a number, that would be great. C

Link doesn't work for me. C

I need 1k 45 bullets. It's gonna cost me the same to have 1000, 1500 or 2000 shipped. If anyone needs bullets drop me a pm if you want to split the shipping. I am going to order from Carl at CJN Casting. Really nice bullets at a decent price AND he's a Jersey based firearms business. If you are interested, drop me a PM and let me know what you want. I live in Bergen Cty by Paramus. I'm not looking to put a group order together, just wanted to see if anyone else needs something and is willing to split shipping. I'll be ordering by Wednesday the 23rd of October. Christopher

All great stuff. Thanks for it all. Nice "Snake Gun" papulski!! C

As someone that has done a little custom paint work on motorcycles... The rustoleum COULD work. However, most likely what will happen is that the finish will start to flake off. If you polish the steel, you are removing any "tooth'' that the paint would use to hold itself onto the steel. It will most likely fail given temperature fluctuactions in the northeast and the rapid heating and cooling brought on by firing the gun. You will know it failed when you start to see rust freckles. Bigger problem is that you won't see the rust freckles and pitting underneath the stock where moisture will form and not dissipate. Personally, I would recommend against it. However if I was going to do it, I would look into a really good wax paste and commit myself to keeping up with it. Like a once a month scheduled teardown and compound. Probably get old fast. Hard chrome or nickel is the best bet. Good luck. C

I just got one of those myself. You're gonna love it. I hope you reload as shooting it is completely addictive. Enjoy the hell out of it and stay safe. C

Good looking 586. Alpo, I don't know if you have a 625, but If not, I highly suggest one. C

Alpo, sweet little six shooter! C

I am new to the firearm "thing". Started in on it about 2 years ago. Never saw the need and was WAY to into motorcycles and choppers to really delve into it. Shot a lot of BB guns as a kid and did my stint in the military so was never against them, just didn't own any. When I started on the journey, I got a 1911. It was (and is) the consummate "pistol" in my eyes. Aesthetically pleasing, fun to shoot, crazy accurate, all wrapped up in a blanket of history that is somewhat mind boggling. I wound up building a 1911 and getting a couple more. Really loving them. Had a plastic gun or two. Great for the SHTF stuff that everyone likes to speculate on. Plus, if the zombies ever do show up, I'd be set. Then, I got a 686+. I got it to go along with my Marlin (which I sold, btw). The Smitty is a joy to hold. I got the 3" Talo version. I absolutely adore that gun. Great balance in hand and of line. Accurate. Just sweet. And, to top it all off, it broadened my horizons as reloading for .357 is a ton of fun. So many different combos and I simply stick to the recipes. Love it. The versatility is awesome. Now, all I want to own is revolvers. I simply enjoy the hell out of them. I can't quite figure out if it's because they are such a simple design compared to autos? Or, if it's because I can see all the parts work. Or, do I just love the way the shot goes off? Or is it the inherent reliability? I can't quite put a finger on it. However, I've sold off my plastics to buy more. I don't have much of a collection, but I think it could grow. What attract(ed)s you to wheel guns? Pictures are GREATLY encouraged. Sadly, I had to re-boot my computer and lost all of mine. Feel free to compensate for my sad situation by posting multiple pics of your wheelies!!

Hey Anthony. Very nice to meet and shake your hand. Last nite was a ball!! Shot 2 stages, 5 strings. All very organized. I'm guessing about 20 folks, total were there. Afterwards about 70% of the people left and they did a "Smoke and Hope" stage. I personally wasn't any faster but it really was fun. Got to meet millsan1 and handle one of the coolest model 25's I've ever seen. I'm looking to up the amount of competitive shooting I do and this was my re-introduction to it. I've done a touch of it but really want to make the effort to get out there and run against the clock. It's fun and really challenging especially given that I'm running a revolver. Power factors be damned!!! I'm out to get some grins. C

2 speed loaders should be fine. I'll help you reload them if you need between strings. Plates are a mix of torso sized and 6-8" round. They are set at 10ish yards, give or take a foot or two. Strings are generally 5 plates. 2-3 strings. Atmosphere is VERY casual. It's a great way, as a beginner, to give it a go without too much pressure. Great way to start getting used to shooting against the clock. Check Ramsey or Bullethole for speedloaders. C

Anyone else want to come along? I'll be the guy with the 625 and the inability to use it well. Christopher Hi Steel Shooters, This Sunday Night at TRPC is Static Steel.

Hey Nick, I would love to take you up on that however getting out for that long to make that trip is proving difficult lately. I'm actively looking for a 4" 617 at a decent price. I'm not in any kind of rush. C

Cool video. Nifty machines. C http://www.starlinebrass.com/videos/index.cfm/VideoID/1/Starline-Brass%3A-Process-to-Perfection-%7C-How-Handgun-Brass-is-Manufactured?utm_source=second+media&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=second+media

Spoke with the land owner. Finally. Lots of phone tag. I'm going to head out there to meet up, shake hands, and sign off. He also has several other properties where he hunts and is going to show me around. I'm still undecided on a scope for the gun. Hopefully by the end of this week, I'll have made up my mind. C

Thanks all. The SP101 is on the list. Harder to find locally. Seemingly impossible, actually. The Taurus is 539 locally. With both cylinders. The Smith is 799. Big difference. But Alec, I agree with you that resale on the Smith is much better if ever it should go that way. I would love more input as I do have plenty of time. BLF, although I would love to, finances dictate that that won't happen. C

I know the gun of choice is the 617. Really nice guns but it's difficult to wrap my head around paying that much for a .22. They actually have the very model I'm looking for at an LGS, however it's priced a touch too high, which is typical for this shop. Really, really nice gun. The Taurus BLF mentioned is on the list. Nice looking guns with a great price point BUT I've personally had a bad experience with a Taurus and it's very difficult for me to trust their QC. Also, the review on that gun are about 50/50. However, she's on the list. I'd love to hear any personal experiences with Charter Arms. I like that they're American. And the price point is nice. However, their reviews run about 50/50 as well. C

Starting the hunt for a .22 revolver. MUST be a DA/SA I love my Smith's, don't get me wrong, but availability and pricing is tough to say the least. The SP is set up nicely with FO front sight already and the size of it is very friendly to newer shooters. Nice price as well. Charter, Taurus/Rossi, H&R... neat guns but how's the quality? Pricing is certainly attractive. I'm looking for suggestions. Pros and cons to each. Use will be trainer for new(er) shooters and range toy. First hand experience always trumps "I heard". Thanks in advance. C

Do you have the Kuunhausen or Kuleck books? C
