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.

The man said if the finger slips and pulls the second trigger. How is anything going to stop that other than a gun set up to require the safety to be cycled between shots? The nervous response to recoil setting our finger forward is to pull it back to the last commanded position. Combine this...

I can make a shot at 100 yards with a j frame. This says nothing of my intent to do so unnecessarily. Fort Hood showed the need for long range ability. You make no account for a bad actor armed with a rifle or one of these 5.7's or AR "pistols". What case law do you have to support your...

I'll only speak to the .460 S&W as I have no experience with the other revolvers. I have a 2x Nikon Monarch on mine and currently do not run iron sights. I have even gone so far as remove the front sight. For your use I would not remove the front sight and I would consider dismounting the...

To all the eggspurts on carry guns and EDC for women recommending j frames and revolvers: The j frame is an expert's weapon. It is a kill or be killed option only. It is not a get in a gun battle weapon. They don't possess the necessary ammunition on board and they are not easy to reload. They...
