Btw, for those who own .41 Magnum revolvers and who, like me, are starting to get a little arthritis in the hand and/or wrist of your shooting hand and would like to do something about recoil, you might want to try some of the lighter-shooting .41 Special for training/practice. Steinel has a supply of these, as do a couple of other online sites per AmmoSeek, but don't dawdle; I've seen this stuff dry up for months at a time.

Son and grandson (who is rising 15 but is already taller than me or his dad) drove up to the farm from Ft. Bragg for a visit and a day of shooting. we fired .22 revolver and semiauto, son's H&K USP .45, my SA35, Tisas Commander clone in 9mm, and my new S&W Model 19 which they really liked. But the guns both absolutely fell in love with were the Single Action Army in .45 Colt, and my old M1 carbine. I told them they better call dibs on them before I kick the bucket, lest they go to another family member!

Anyway, I bought a Tokarev TT-33 barrel, the chamber of which will accept the 7.63 Mauser cartridge. I need to make a threaded bushing, about an inch long, that will slip over the Tok barrel, and thread into the frame of the mystery pistol.

My round count spreadsheet says I fired 12,899 rounds this year. Always trying to work on something at the range, not just converting money into noise (except for the occasional high-speed mag dump). I am sure a better shooter than I was in January, but I have a long long way to go.
I had my first "gun instructor moment" at the range yesterday. Mrs Splunge was shooting poorly at 10 yards with her little S&W .38 Chief's Special. It was very strange, because she was great with it last time. So I examined the gun, and thought about it. Those low-profile sights, designed not to snag on clothing, are hard to see...last range trip was sunny, this one was cloudy...a light bulb went off.
I said "Get your reading glasses." 4 of the next 5 shots she made at 10 yards were touching each other, and the fifth was very nearby. She's good with that tiny-barreled thing. As long as she can see the sights properly.

I've got a Ruger Blackhawk, a Ruger Redhawk, a S&W 57 and a S&W 58. I've loved them ever since my father, Old Paco, brought a new 57 home decades ago (sadly, somebody eventually stole it out of his car).

I used the chronograph to get an idea of what the loads were doing. They weren't great, but, good enough for the match. Or, so I thought.
Day of the match, we get two sighter shots at each distance. I noticed one of the guys would hit the large target with his first round, then tag the second. I thought this a great idea and followed suit. The pic above is the second smaller sighter plate @ 400m.
In the end, I went 18 for 20. Which was a relief, because after the success @ 1,000 yards, I wanted to have a strong showing to prove to myself the preceding week wasn't a fluke. The two misses I had, one was me, terrible set up on the rifle, the other was a round that was hotter than the others which went over the back of a ram @500 meters. I did get my "big bullet bye" because I barely took out one of the rams @ 500 meters. Had I been shooting something smaller, the ram probably would stayed put.

I have a few. My top 3 favorites are all 657s, one of the early versions w/unfluted cylinder, a Performance Center version for hunting, and a Mountain Gun. I wish I'd bought a second Mountain Gun.
On all of them, I wish S&W had put a faster twist barrel, to shoot heavy-for-caliber bullets.

There is a definite bite in discretionary income. The powersports industry is taking a beating right now. Snowmobiles and quads and ATVs are seeing major drops in sales causing plant closures. And I do think Biden was a top salesman now that he's on the way out there is less urgency.

I beaten both of them last week, by the way. Which was why I couldn't let it pass. I'm also equally sure they'll school me quite well next match or two.

I'm also not sure the optics I'm running are quite up to snuff. I may switch to a Nightforce scope with a bit more magnification.

Check out Forgotten Weapons' recent episode on the Walther P99. Umarex had just bought Walther as it was on the brink of collapse. They brought in new engineering talent to design and build the P99. Then, they did a deal w/ Eon Productions (the producers of the James Bond films) to have it featured in "Tomorrow Never Dies," the upcoming 007 film. The attention drawn to Walther by having the brand new P99 in 007's hands for the action finale of the film literally saved Walther and led to the P99 being adopted as an official sidearm in many European police and militaries.

Weasel, Thanks for including the Hickock 45 video about the Colt SAA. I don't have one but the spiritual great grandchildren, Ruger Blackhawk and Single-Six, are my favorite handguns. Colt made for my taste the finest cap and ball revolvers, the 1851 Navy and 1860 Army. The Ruger Old Army is the ultimate for power, accuracy and reliability but no revolver handles like the Colt C and B.

The idea was to shield the gun and crew from direct fire from the targeted ships. Almost all ship-mounted guns were high-velocity guns with limited elevation in their turrets. In action the gun is loaded while lowered, is 'popped' up by dropping a counterweight, then the recoil lowers the gun back into loading position while simultaneously raising the counterweight. The US and the British used disappearing coast defense gun carriages for a while before and after the start of the 20th Century.
The advent of bomber aircraft ended the life of the disappearing carriage coast gun. There was no overhead cover. They also had limited traverse. The only US disappearing carriage guns used in action were several in the Philippines. They were not used much because they were set-up to fire into Manila Bay; the Japanese mostly avoided their limited arcs of fire. US coast guns built after 1923 were mounted in turrets like those on warships. Overhead cover and more traverse.

.41 Mag is an excellent cartridge for hand loading. Sadly, it's almost a necessity, given the poor availability at retail. I've seen *one* box of 20 at the local Cabela's in the last 36 months. They're very well-stocked at the moment (e.g. 6 different .44 Mag loads, and several of those weird .32 cartridges) but not a single box of .41.
Plus, you can load cartridges that take advantage of the .41 Mag rifle from Marlin or Henry that you'll pick up.

I recommend getting your fingerprints done electronically before buying a suppressor, along with a digital photo that meets ATF's requirements per e-Forms. Having both in hand when you buy a suppressor will really speed up the turnaround time w/ ATF from months if you submit paperwork via the mail to days if everything is submitted electronically. Working w/ a dealer that will help you navigating the process is worth paying the extra $$ if you don't have electronic copies of your photo and fingerprints in hand.

Gref, there were disappearing guns just inland on the west side of Oahu (you can still see parts of their embrasures from the Oahu Railway), and even though they were uninstalled early in the war, according to a couple of locals they got off a few rounds.
They were all the rage when the whole East Coast wondered where the Spanish Fleet might be in '98, and figured heavily in cartoon action between the wars. It was hard not to think of them when working the old pits at Camp Perry!

Saw that at the Chantilly gun show this weekend. If you're thinking of equipping your pistol w/ a red dot, pay the extra $$ to get a handgun with the cutouts for them already made. Paying extra to have it done custom on a pistol that doesn't have the cuts will wipe all of your savings and then some.

Ain't that the truth. And being a straight wall cartridge you can use the most basic mounted press or hand press for loading. Paco is wise to keep his spent brass for future needs. Saving and scrounging brass is an integral part of the reloading hobby.
Sadly, I don't think Lee Precision makes their Classic Loader (whack-a-mole style) in 41 mag. That would be a hoot.

I got some range time in yesterday, with my PSA Micro Dagger. The gun works, it's small but not a sub-compact, with full capacity 15 round magazines...it's pretty legit. But I'm finding it takes more 'work' to run the gun as compared to the slightly larger PSA Dagger.
Still thinking that G19 size really is the sweet spot for me, for control and fit in my hand. But if I bear down, the Micro Dagger will work, it just takes more effort.

Wish they still offered them in 41. I have one for almost every cartridge I load, including 22 Hornet, 222 Remington, and 12 and 20 gauge. The ultimate portable reloading set up. Instead of the Lyman, I use the Lee hand press. Often under 50 bucks on sale. The smallest Lee bench press is a few dollars less.

Way to go on feeling so much more confident! Do
You carry pepper spray with you everywhere? It's not really the same as a gun, but it's a similar mindset. If you aren't, please start. And don't put it in your handbag or backpack. Have it in your hand in your pocket when you're out and about. Now, I feel naked without it in my pocket.
I am "not allowed" to bring a gun on campus, but that may change on Jan 20, until things calm down around here. But carrying is still not second nature to me. I do carry to Mass and the store and while
I'm out and about. It's certainly a mindset.

Biden refers to the way people look and talk all the damn time! Blacks! Latinos! Native Americans, calling people dog-faced pony soldiers! He calls himself Joe Bidenski when he's in Poland, Joe Bidenopoulos when he's pandering to Greeks in the US, and so on. I need to up my game when referring to Joe. No more Decrepit Joe.
