Gun Thread: Gone to Texas Edition! [Weasel]
All major manufacturers have at one time or another produced revolvers chambered in .38 Special. By the turn of the 20th century, the already great Colt vs. Smith and Wesson rivalry hit full stride with Double Action/Single Action revolvers and the .38 Special cartridge. Throughout the years, Colt manufactured a variety of models including the Police Positive and Official Police; while Smith & Wesson offered the Military & Police (or M&P, later the Model 10), the K38 (later the Model 15), and others.
1942 Colt Official Police
1948 S&W K38
1977 S&W Model 15

S&W Forum So which one did Deputy Fife carry? Apparently both brands saw action in Mayberry. While the publicity photo above appears to show a Colt, it is reported that for some episodes of the Andy Griffith Show a Smith & Wesson was provided by the prop department. Colt or S&W? Do you have a favorite? This Old Gun
Firearms manufactured before the advent of computerized machining techniques are of particular interest to me. Made in an era when assembly was performed by an actual gunsmith or other highly experienced craftsmen, in many cases the final result was a hand-fitted weapon which could arguably be considered a custom firearm by today's manufacturing and production standards. A big part of the fun in collecting and shooting these old guns, at least for me, is wondering where they have been over the years. A good example is the well used Colt Official Police pictured above. When purchased, I noted "BS Co." engraved on the frame. A little research revealed that BS Company was very likely Bethlehem Steel making it a company guard weapon. I sent to the Colt Archives for more information and learned my revolver was indeed one of a shipment of 25 sent to Bethlehem Steel Company in Lehigh Valley, PA one week after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Just imagine the activity at the steel plant as war was declared!

Perhaps a rifle of the .22 cal. persuasion. Minimal kick and fun to shoot. Also ammo is relatively inexpensive.

, 6 inch barrel. These were LAPD specials, modified to fire double action only. With the exceptionally smooth trigger on the Smith and Wessons of that era, this posed no problem for combat accuracy. Also note some are carrying in a "clamshell" holster, where you grip the gun, apply pressure with the trigger finger, and it opens up. Don't know if that is such a swell idea.Posted by: bill in arkansas at October 25, 2020 07:09 PM (I58tH)

mentioned earlier that I had a lot to say about the Tx MoMe so here it comes.
As things were being planned, Jim comes to me and says 'I have a
script for you to read after the door prizes have been given out because
we are going to give Weasel a very high end rifle". I am thinking WOW
what a great thing. So, I start reading the script with the
description of the rifle and trying to heighten the excitement level
but still knowing, the fix is in.
lin-duh is a master at running the door prize function so I get to
the end of the script and turn to her and say the winner is, assured
that this most awesome gun is going to Weasel. Well, lin-duh pulls out
this piece of paper and I'm looking at Weasel thinking how surprised he
is going to be and she calls out Ben Had. I immediately shout NOOOO,
it supposed to be Weasel so she's laughing her ass off and pulls out
another name and it says Ben Had.
I cannot even begin to express how shocked I was. Through the tears I
hope that I was able to even partially express my Thank You, so I
want to do it now
To each and everyone of you that donated to make this most
generous gift happen I can only say from the bottom of my heart, THANK
YOU, but that can't even begin to express the gratitude that I feel.
Once again, the community that is AoSHQ is the most wonderful,
generous group of people I have ever known and I am so humbled to be a
part of you.
I will say that Operation Horseshoe was a stellar success of which I have been graced by your generosity.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Something I like to do with new shooters is, after the usual safety talk, is to start them with dry firing the weapon a few times so they learn how the trigger breaks. Then load and fire single rounds a few times before loading more than one round. I kind of think this might help reduce the tendency toward flinching that comes from being startled by the first, unexpected, big bang.

Part of the legend comes from matchups of particular revolvers
N-Frame versus New Service (S&W Outdoorsman versus the New Service)
K-Frame (S&W M&P) versus I Frame (Colt Official Police)
J-Frame versus D Frame (S&W Chief's Special versus the Colt Detective).
The other part comes from a rivalry that has lasted from the 1860's until the present day.
I have Smiths and I have Colts in revolvers--both are impressive in their own way. I prefer the New Service to the Outdoorsman because it fits my hand better in .38 Special (strange as it may sound--the .38 Special was a late addition to the Colt New Service and the frame was slightly altered to fit it.) I prefer the M&P in the mid range probably because I learned to shoot for Uncle Sam with the Model 15 and the Official Police that I have is a fixed sight model. I prefer the Chief's Special in the Model 60 rather than a Detective Special because I have a tuned one that has a smooth trigger press for a K-frame, let alone a J-Frame. It also fits my hand like a laser pointer with Hogue grips.
That being said, they are both lines of revolvers that are exceptionally well made especially in the decades prior to Bangor Punta for S&W and the 1960's for Colt.

So if I use the laser to sight in at 25 yards I'll be a bit less than .25 inches high at 10 yards.
Range Drop (inches)
0 0.0060
10 0.2239
20 0.1536
30 -0.2158
40 -0.8946
Any common tips to using a basic laser boresight, inserted into the chamber, to zero in a pistol?
Ammo costs are so high I'd love not to spend 200 rounds sighting in two pistols.

I don't think I would bother bore-sighting a pistol with a laser. Just fire and adjust sights. Factors that affect recoil like bullet weight and velocity and grip will determine where the rounds land more than anything, and the desired sight picture may be different than what a bore-sight would give you anyway.

Posted by: Kindltot at October 25, 2020 07:28 PM (WyVLE)
Went to the range for the first time in over a year today. I'd moved my Vortex red dot over to the 10-22 and the Primary Arms 3-10 scope over to one of the ARs, so I had to zero both. No problems, got them both done in about 30 min.
Pistol skills however... ugh. I guess I did okay with the minute-of-sucking-chest-wound-on-the-criminal-asshole grouping at 25 yards. But just for fun, late in the session I started popping the 100 yard plate with my Ruger MkII (which has made several appearances at the TXMoMe). Got maybe 20-25% hits so I don't feel so bad about that.
22lr at 100 yds makes a really dainty and cute "ding" on the plate.

We had smaller targets than for the safety course and both went 11/25 on the targets. I was mildly happier to get 6 hits in the first 10, but obviously some room for improvement there.
The immediate problem was getting my hands steady which they don't seem to want to do.

Speaking of Uberti -- if you're interested in firearms made the old-fashioned way (or closer to it than most), and revolvers, you might want to check out Pietta and Uberti. I have some a couple of lovely examples of the open-top Richards conversion, similar to what Clint Eastwood used in several of his movies. A ton of fun to shoot in 38 special. You can get them on Gunbroker for something like $550 each with shipping.

I almost never require magnum primers but they serve just as well as standard primers with only tiny differences at the target. (It's the same with magnum percussion caps.) Unless trying for Weasel-level distance and accuracy, these will do the job.
These are the first pistol primers I've seen for some months so they got added to my component stash. I reload for 5 calibers that take large pistol primers so these were a welcome find.

Python lovers would like to have a word with you.
I like Smiths, some I like a lot, I like Colts, some of them I like a lot, and then there are Rugers, I have several of them that I like a lot. I have no brand loyalty as I buy used anyway.
Some of the Smiths made during the Bangor Punta era were --dogs and the decision to make a K-frame .357 revolver in a design dating from the 1890's was not the best in the world if you planned on shooting 125 gr. .357 magnum self defense loads in them. Ironically the L frames that replaced those K Frames was on a frame--ta da--just like the Colt Python's I and E frames (Colt Trooper).
Some of the Colts, began to suffer fit and finish issues before Colt went to the new coil spring design in about 1968 which some people like and some dislike.
The major problem with old Colts is that there are few pistolsmiths familiar with the old leaf spring models and they are one of the worst models for DIYers to work on due to extensive handfitting and the absence of a lot of new old stock repair parts.
Smiths have a lot more gunsmiths that can work on them and easier to obtain spare parts for a lot of models.

I have fired each pistol with many rounds. A quick check with the laser indicated one pistol was off a bit left and the other pistol was so far off on windage and elevation as to be not worth aiming. I rarely fire this second pistol any longer and it is kind of a BUG.
I'd like to get the two pistols zeroed at 25 yards with 115 grain rounds. Then I'd also fire some Hornady Critical Defense rounds to see how that differs with the same zero.
The worst pistol has adjustable sight for elevation and windage and it is off on both. The other pistol is only adjustable on windage but it is only off on windage.
Since I am doing one, I was just going to do both at the same time.

I have shot Colt revolvers belonging to others, got no prob, but the backward operation of the cylinder latch gives me fear as far as fast reloads, all my instinctive muscle-memory is S&W ... and I have worked that up for 40 years.
In an emergency, sure, I could do it; I have secondary routines for Colts, just like for AK & SKS vs. AR, and probably a pretty good 3rd layer for "operate unfamiliar semiauto weapon n.o.s.", but for sure the primary 1's are Smith, 1911, AR, do those with a brown paper bag over my head.

I trained with my best gal, who did Ironmans before we got together, so I picked her brain.
.
Basically, start with a good running watch. I went with a garmin. It let me track my heart rate, which was vital for staying in the right zone. Our technique was to run for 3:00, then walk for :30.
.
We found a training plan online which allowed me to have a full year to train, and stuck to it.
.
She finished three seconds before me. I watched her ass the entire race.

based on the holes in the paper, my friend was low across the board. I had one in the right collar, three one to two inches down and to the right of the center, four about waist height to the left, two similar height to the right, one to the right mostly off the paper.

Seemed like there were plenty of guns for sale, prices a bit higher than a year ago.
Quite a bit of ammo available, more than I see in local retail outlets, but prices were insane. A buck a pop for Lake City 5.56 green tips on stripper clips, eastern European flavors a little cheaper, but still crazy, as was pistol ammo. 22LR available for $40 for a 500 round brick.
As for reloading supplies, a fair amount of bullets and powder for sale, although some types of powder were not available. Primers were non-existent.
I talked to the guy I normally buy reloading supplies from and he said he hasn't been able to get primers for several months and doesn't know when he will again. Fortunately, I stocked up a year ago when they were available, so I'm good for a while. Scored 4 pounds of Bullseye, which should last me a while.

I mean, I suppose it makes some sense to ask if somebody buying a gun is the neighborhood psycho who's threatened to kill everybody on the block. That would be a red flag, so sure, I almost get that part. But don't you have to have a background check anyway? If so what's the point of just randomly asking your neighbor about you? And honestly it seemed more like the process is designed less to weed out psychos than to sort of gun shame you into not applying for the permit. They make it clear we're going to go to all your neighbors like "ALERT THIS PERSON IS BUYING A GUN OMG!!!"
My neighbor is cool and I told them as much, I hope he got the permit. But I wonder what happens if I said he's a jerk or something? What if I just didn't like him or didn't like guns and lied to them about him being shifty?Does that mean you don't get the license? So yeah, weird and kinda creepy.

I would like to get both of us out somewhere with several hundred yards clear range, flat & somewhat dusty, to evaluate long range performance with, say, 130 or 158 FMJ loads in .357 ...

Most shooters on an outside range have had those Range Officers who are arrogant, overbearing, pompous, and full of themselves.
Eromeo was our RO for the day. He wasn't like that at all
He was watching like a hawk, but when someone was making a mistake or needing assistance, he was more like a field collie nudging the lost sheep back in to the flock. And ran an excellent operation in every way.
Beyond being a knowledgeable expert in the subject, he's more importantly a Fine Southern Gentleman.

I have heard rumors that the best 357 hunting pistol is simply to act as a hunting guide and have Mrs. E. wield the 357.
However, it may be difficult to bag any trophies using that technique - I hear that most dangerous animals turn tail and run if she enters the woods with her 357.

To me, each firearm is an individual unto itself and when they have a bit of age on them, they get even quirkier.
I absolutely like a Colt for slow fire single action shooting. If a Colt is timed properly, the Colt has a bank vault lockup just before the trigger pops. A Colt typically has a bit of stacking (unless you get someone to alter the v spring) just before letoff which some shooters do not care for. To me, as long as a revolver trigger is smooth, a bit of stacking just lets me know that I am close to release. A tuned Colt is very nice in single action and not bad in Double. A K-frame Smith, on the other hand, typically has a better tuned trigger in double action with a nice single action with no stacking if done right.
Ironically, the best triggers on a revolver that I have are a) Ruger GP 100 which is an early one with so many rounds down the bore that it is butter smooth on the trigger and the big flywheel cylinder makes it effortless to shoot well DA, b) a Smith and Wesson pre Model 15--great DA and single action trigger, and c) a Colt New Service pre WWII.

Now, for my MoMe story. I was headed there up I-45 around about Centerville, and I had seen the dark clouds in the distance and although the rain was still light, I knew I was going to be in heavy rain soon. One of the vehicles up ahead hit their brakes and swerved to the right and I had just started wondering if there was slow traffic up ahead when I noticed what looked like a house in the left lane of the freeway.
As I got closer to it, it kept seeming to get smaller, and when I noticed the hay and the poultry netting I realized that what I was looking at was chicken coop right there in the freeway. Who ever's truck it had dropped off of had just left, which seems strange to me. If you were hauling a chicken coop, wouldn't you notice when it wasn't there any more? Strange.
The door prizes were fun and the grand prize was the most awesome thing I've seen in recent memory.

preparing bigtime for Upcoming Sportiness in view of the unstoppable TrumpTrain ... this pretty much means checking that reloads are packed with every gun, 40 - 50 rounds minimum + loaded mags in the case; deploying all of the plastic knuckles, telescoping batons, knuckle gloves, that I have been quietly buying over the past year, at least 1 set per car ... also gasmasks, after 9/11 I invested heavily in Warsaw Pact equipment, 2 per car.
Plausibly deniable weapons: 2 to 6 foot lengths of rebar, also cans of soup to throw.
Pro tip: Hoam Despot sells a knit sock thing in the paint dept. for spraying, that serves all the functions of a ski mask without being quite so blatant.
Despite living out among the cows & corn, I am unable to shake the feeling that war IS interested in ME ... & Mrs Eez too, so I offer these suggestions for my moar urban brethren & sistren.
Hopefully in a week I will be laughing about all this preparation, just like I did 1Jan2000 ... can I get a hallelujah ?

"carrying a loaded and concealed weapon"... he'll never see that gun again.
and, unless he manages to plead it down to a misdemeanor, he'll never be able to legally buy one again. or vote.
come to think of it, if isn't registered in his name or on file with the CA DOJ, he's looking at additional charges...
this makes me very happy. oh yeah, he's married to Cardi B, whoever that is.

Here is mine--on pistols, during the normal ranges up to about 25 yds, the differences in shooting style, barrel twist, etc. can make more differences in POI versus POA (point of aim) than anything including ammo, bullet weight, and windage. If you shoot from a proper pistol rest, does the pistol shoot to its point of aim at 25 yards--(POI=POA)--if it does not, a laser bore sight, unless maybe one of those laser ammo deals that records shots, might not give you any less waste on ammo moving the sights than actually firing from a rest.
I have seen multiple times where a different guy shoots the same firearm and it shoots true to POI=POA that the other person cannot get to do well.
If you shoot a 7-10 round group from a rest, coupled with a 25 yd zeroing target (has grid on it already along with bull), then that should be enough to adjust both windage and height.
If your shots are not clustering, then something else is going on.
Rifles are simply different critters zeroing to handguns due to distances and velocity/bullet weight.

Aim Surplus has some good buys and CDNN Sports did have some Bushmaster clearance ones. Also Delta Team Tactical and Primary Arms. Midway and Brownells also have bolts and carriers for the AR. All of these will ship faster than Palmetto generally if they have it in stock. I get Aim stuff in less than a week after ordering, Midway is now hitting about two to three days with free shipping, and even Brownells has improved. Primary Arms and CDNN are other fast shippers.

Tonight we scored a huge victory in federal court regarding the 29k incorrect ballots sent in Western PA. The election here in #PA17 will be free & fair thanks to our lawsuit.
An order from a federal judge will be forthcoming tomorrow.
VICTORY!

if the people who called the cops can ID him, that's additional charges, and, if they caught it on video, that's another one or two.
pretty sure carrying concealed w/o a permit here in #Failifornia is a felony, but IANAL

Haven't yet read about TX, will catch up with that later, but sounds it went very well, as expected.
So - my years-long lazy procrastination about building my first AR is not quite yet extinguished, but, are AR components now also sold out throughout the land, as part of the panic?

also for misses right. You can order diagnostic targets that give you
some suggestions of why you hit where you hit. Gimmicky but good
reminder.

I had no idea, either! I had taken to shouting "fix" after the prizes I liked. It's sophomoric, but I do sophomoric better than anybody, at least in my own mind. So of course when Ben Had "won" the rifle, I was grinning and shouting that the fix was in.
Come to find out that the fix was in, but what a fantastic way to say thanks.

I grade our effort out at a 90% (a couple of cooking bobbles) but, overall, my wife did a wonderful job getting the house set up.
My oldest niece was wonderful with her grandmother and grandmother was thrilled to meet her latest great grand child.
It was a great afternoon.
Now, range report: I managed to shoot High Power yesterday, with the trusty M1. Off hand, I was bad, no two ways about it.
But, in the seated and prone, using the sling? I did darn well. In fact, the sling was set up well enough, prone, that, after recoil, the rifle pretty much returned to position with the proper sight picture.
A great weekend all the way around.

Do you still have the prize description that Ben Had read for the raffle? You could post a picture on the next Gun Thread, along with a picture of the actual prize. (I assume most Morons have installed "drool-proof" keyboards.)
P.S. Remember that pictures take up more space - since you definitely deserve a break after all of the work you put in for the MoMe.

Checked, try Aimsurplus which has pretty good bolt carriers plus bolts, lower parts kits, etc. with decent prices and fast shipping.
Not sure what you have to do with CA compliance nowadays on lowers but some have a gimmick that turns the AR into a bolt action straight pull even.

To Weasel, Jim, et al, one of the highest compliments I can ever pay to somebody is "I learned something from you." Well, y'all were both clinics at the gun ranges. I got some ideas for my current rifle and any I might pick up down the road, and I got to try out some different handguns (which is always a good thing). Maybe I can't apply all I learned right away, but one day they will be applied, and I can say I got my knowledge here.
And I always figured the Horde to be a friendly, good-natured lot and that is exactly what I saw at the MoMe. Can I make it back next year? Well, if I don't, it won't be for lack of effort, I will tell you that!

Technically, all the people in a trust do not have to be in the same state from what I understand but all members of the trust now must be fingerprinted and have a background check which pretty much precludes using an address that might be loosely affiliated with yourself because of said background check.

I'm repeating every word of thanks above, to Rancher Bob, Jennifer, Weasel, Eremero, and Special Thanks to Hogmartin, Lady L and again to Weasel. The last three being the co-conspirators with me in launching the Operation Horseshoe "enterprise".
And late thanks to Lin-Duh for being the PERFECT Mistress of Ceremonies throughout the drawing, and Springing the Trap PERFECTLY!
I count my blessings every day to be allowed to work with such an amazing group of people, AND THEN to get to mingle with even MORE amazing people over the course of the weekend.

It's not much of an error, usually, so I'm kind of at peace with it. And if I concentrate/focus and go very deliberately, I can put it right in the middle of the bullseye (7-8 yds) consistently. I notice during steel matches (only kind I really enjoy) I do just fine, and a tiny bit of focus is all I need.

One of my M1s needs to be taken down entirely, and I need to disassemble/inspect/re-assemble the rear sight, the elevation aperture is slipping. Might get a new elevation knob + pinion, don't feel like troubleshooting a small thing like that for weeks.
Blake - any references you've used for sling use with the M1? I'm aware of the WWII training materials, need to review them. I don't do High Power matches but do want to greatly improve my off-hand accuracy.

Knowing your own proclivities IS the Key.
I've done very little target shooting over the years. I was 'trained' in how to hit someone at 20 or less feet.
I KNOW that if I think, my first bullet will be aimed high, just like most combat shooters throughout history.
So, I PURPOSELY aim low.
Because I KNOW that when the stress hits, it will then be on target.
(thing I learned of all places, on the paintball field).

I don't know what you saw, then. A whole bunch of us at the bonfire saw what was obviously (to me) a bunch of satellites on Saturday night about 8PM.
Posted by: Cybersmythe at October 25, 2020 09:37 PM (qDSku)
I saw a string of maybe a dozen lights of varying brightness, at approximately equal spacing. That string of lights remained in the same position in the sky, and that is the key point. What are recollections of the MoMe folks about motion of the string of lights?
Posted by: Gref
Supposedly those were the Star Link sats staging for final positioning. It was all over Facebook last night.

I remember Boy Scout camp at the range and how much fun it was to plink away with .22 rifle. That was so much fun. I am more of a handgun kinda guy but I do enjoy watching people shoot long rifles. It's a good time had by all.
Hard to believe it's been 2 years for the Gun Report. Time really flies!

Satellites other than GEO satellites move across the sky. Fairly rapidly, in low Earth orbit. Did anyone at the MoMe witness the string moving?
What we saw most likely was a number of StarLink sats, but I cannot account for their seeming lack of motion above the MoMe location.

I recall seeing quite a few more lights than that which moved smoothly from roughly north to south before disappearing one by one behind the earth's shadow. I first saw them at maybe 45 degrees off the horizon and they disappeared roughly at the zenith. They were moving relative to the fixed stars the whole time, at a rate that was similar to all the other low-orbit satellites I've seen.

I left Corsicana this morning and drove to far East Texas to pick up my dog and then back past Corsicana to Central Texas. Probably saw less than ten Biden signs vs 100s of Trump signs (mostly large ones) and flags. I think I'll hold off turning my firearms in to gun czar Beto for the moment.

Thanks, and thanks again, to all.

I like how 86% of the 5 Republicans who are undecided (table 2 page 2) are leaning toward voting for Trump.

But I'll post a range report for those keeping track at home and then do some readin' upthread. You never know what miscreants might be hanging about.
Put 100 rounds of steel cased ammo through the CZ P-07 DAO. Half Tula, half Wolf. Worked fine and the groups were very very good. But that might be mostly the pistol. Had 3 failures to ignite out of 100 rounds, but all went off on second trigger pull. And that is the pistol.
Never fiddle with factory settings.
Also put about 36 rounds of .30 carbine through my 'new' Ruger Blackhawk. Gun is easy enough to shoot, though muzzle blast can be impressive. Groups are...good for me with revolvers. They just don't fit my hand well. Sights may be a bit high left. I don't mind it shooting high but I'll see about moving it right a bit. The Korean milsurp ammo is damn hard to eject, you have to really snap the ejection rod down hard. Don't have the problem with Priv Partizan .30 carbine ammo. Found a bit of rust on the gun. Not bad but will have to work on buffing it out.
Also got my G44 back from Glock. They replaced the extractor and the gun shoots as good as new except....someone wanged the hell out of the polymer front sight. Looks like it was cut or sliced with something. I'll see about sending it back once again to the the sights replaced, maybe with steel. Sigh. This gun is semi-cursed. Very tight groups though and double taps were easy and accurate as well at 7 yards.
All in all, a good day at the range.

So - vote for me so we can become more like Portland and San Fran. To hell with this boring safe community!
Honestly, I thought my childhood neighborhood was boring too when I was 17. So I moved away after college. It didn't occur to me to move back and run for office. But this kid went to Yale and now has even more wokeness and so wants power over the dull safe people he grew up around because he's much smarter than them!

Never fiddle with factory settings."
No, that was the ammo, unless your fiddling included some chicanery with some really bad aftermarket upgrades.
And why send the Glock back to the factory for a front sight replacement? It takes 5 minutes to replace the front sight on a Glock.

You do realize that Google reads and records EVERY email transiting their system. It's also designed to scan those stored emails for any term they want.
If you are thinking that old "you have nothing to fear if you're innocent" bromide, your naivete' is touching. Search for the videos "Don't talk to cops" parts 1 and 2 .
A majority, possibly even a very large majority, of Googles employees are leftist, and their antipathy to guns is "normal". Giving gmail your business is, as they say, like strolling into a biker bar wearing a mini and a see through blouse. Of course it isn't right, but don't be surprised at the outcome.
