I thought it was something neater like these chambers group best at 100 yards.

Some of the best advice I ever received from @BeeMaa "Get a Carlson's Black Cloud!" Kayak jump shooting ducks. The day that began the obsession!Rained like hell for hours, then fog, then massive flights of geese.

I figured it was something important. What was the issue?

What do the sharpie marks on the cylinder indicate?

Awesome...now I want to do this too. Thanks...I was happy now I'm wondering how to go about this and see if I can't squeeze the groups down.

Short chambering is something different. Final reaming of a chamber is done to the customers specs for load OAL. Common in custom competition 1911's in .40 and 9mm.

Or you'll be in physical pain. I fired it ONCE without ear pro with a .454 Casull. I missed and made the appropriate correction, but couldn't untangle the eardrums from the middle of my skull in time to take the shot. I cannot hunt with others around unless they too have ear protection. I have...

You're very welcome! Those are all pretty formidable choices. I recommend you also consider labeling the speed loaders to tell them apart easily. I engrave my K and L frame loaders and number each one K1, K2, etc. so I can identify a malfunctioning unit easily and keep them straight between...

That's an N Frame revolver which is tough to scale while staying with laser grips. The miculek grips are very good for smaller hands and you could always go with a TLR-8 AG light/green laser combo. With moonclips, a light, and laser that would certainly be a formidable combination especially...

I'd like a Ruger No. 1 in .45-120, .450NE, .50-90, or .50-140 in a nice long 26" or 28" D weight barrel.

@Bob Nelson 35Whelen actually held and admired a Pre 64 .243 Win while on holiday with witnesses. It was only after he was informed with a chuckle that he had to fein his disdain for the cartridge and continue to profess his rhetoric. It took a moment for him to figure out what to do and to...

@Wyatt Smith I recommend Safariland if you can get them. I have used and abused them extensively. I have few still in use that survived me falling on them and subsequently sliding on them during a motorcycle wreck. For J-frames I use Comp-1's and for K and L frames I use the Comp-3's with a...

It's training for capability. If I can make hits at a hundred yards I can make surgical hits at closer distances. It was a statement of MY capability which you have blown out of proportion because you have been called out for recommending the snub-nosed revolver to people it doesn't serve well...

Ooof I wonder if that will hold up for any length of use. Seems awfully optimistic with the sights.

The Sig P230 is essentially an upscaled Walther PPK and as such a very accurate handgun. Have them try a Glock 19 or S&W M&P 9 sometime. They'll shoot even better.
