butt ugly

Well mine is butt ugly, works like it is 'sposed to, goes bang when I want it to and is accurate enough at 10-12 yards. Trigger is "reasonable" but this is not one that I shoot for fun and games. It works and I can hide it when I need to. Being a locked breach recoil is managable for such a light pi...

ammo

Yep - I just pick up or order components when I find them. Not too much into rifles but I have managed to lay in a good amount of .308 & 5.56. Got plenty of rimfire on hand and I still think that bouncing soda cans (or plastic bottle) is just about as much fun as you can have with your cloths on. Fo...

.40 vs .45

Part of the rational for developing the .40 S&W was getting a .40 cal. bullet into a 9mm platform. I believe that it was shortly after the FBI adopted the 10mm and found that some folks had a difficult time with the size of the S&W pistol (mod.1006 I think) and needed to find somthing smaller. While...

AMMO HOLDER

At one time, Uncle Mikes made a wrist-band ammo holder for 5 rounds of rifle ammo.
It worked just fine with 358JDJ ammo when hunting with my Contender.

I see it on their website but no one seems to have them.

Anyone have an idea where I can find one these days.

High Standard

Any thoughts on where I can obtain clear instructions on detail stripping High Standard pistols - specificaly the Victor. I would like to get into the frame & trigger for a good cleaning and lube.
Thanks

twins

Kaz, Let's face it - we all have "it" bad or we wouldn't be here reading this. Ain't it grand! My wife has given me grief too often about trading - she thinks I should keep 'em....if I wanted it enough to buy it I should just keep it. But I still think I'm gonna switch barrels - I really do want to ...

Twins?

I think Kaz has really got it bad! Way to go.

I think I'll just look for a good barrel - my marriage might not survive another gun at this point in time.

muzzle brake

The Brownell's Alumahyde seems fairly tough but if it doesn't hold up I'll go to baked on finish that they offer.

Not that I really need another excuse to tinker with stuff - that's half the fun!

bbl. weight ?

Bullseye,
Back in town - checked for the bbl weight and found only a light weight aluminum plug in the barrel recess.

The alumahide from Brownells seems to have done a good job on the brke - looks like it should last. If not, it is easy enough to re-coat.

Thanks for your advice & info.

muzzle brake

Bullseye,
I out of town for a few days.

Just refinished the brake with Brownell's AlumaHide epoxy, looks good if it holds up.

I'll check the weights & insert when I put the brake back on next week.

Keep your powder dry!
