Well Ok,this makes me feel a little more assured,I followed the manual pretty close and even checked my grainage with 2 scales just to make sure.Its been about 10 years since I have done any reloading so I am a little rusty in the memory lane as far as load data goes.

I loaded some .357 mag with the Hornady 158gr LSWC and have gotten conflicting powder charge recipes,some manuals say start at 5.9 grains and others say start at 4.8.Is this loading at 5.9 grains going to be a little to hot for a lead bullet.I am using the Bullseye by Alliant.This load according to the Lee manual is going to be at over 1100 fps out of a 6 inch barrel.Any experience with this anyone.

Springfield Loaded 9mm with Raasco grips Taurus M85SS with rosewood grips Lastly Ruger MK III with Cocobolo grips I like wood

I have a Ruger SP101 and the bore looks about the same,I dont think if it were mine I would worry a whole lot about it.

+1,my Stoeger Condor works exactly like that.I have not had any problems with it.

Thanks for the info,everyone that carries a revolver should read this.

Nice all around collection you have there.

I have a Stoeger O/U in 20 gauge I use occasionally for trap shooting,although I cant hit squat because I am a poor shot according to my dad,the shotgun did work great.They are usually under $500.00.

Good luck with the Warthog,I always thought they were a neat looking 1911.

You have made a good choice,nothing beats a good revolver,except another good revolver.Nice holster also,Is it a Tucker Gunleather.I have one like it for my 4 inch Tracker.

Yeh,a person can tell I dont really care for the Hogues. Of coarse thats a joke

Yup,well made pistol for sure.Its what I am carrying daily.I like it so much I quit carrying the semi-autos. Mine with the Hogue Monogrip,really fits nice.

I sold 3 firearms there on consignment and it took over 30 days every time to get a check.I do think you will get your check,but it does take awhile.I shoot there quite often and recently I noticed they have had a bit of turnover in employees.For the most part they are usually pretty friendly and helpful.

Yup,seeing as the .357 will handle .38 special it would be kinda stupid to buy the .38 only.I guess there is a few folks that prefer it or they wouldnt offer the pistol chambered for it.

Well I went and officially turned myself over to the Ruger temptation,picked up a new SP101 with the Crimson Trace grips,they dont make the 3 inch barrel with the grips already on it,so I settled for the 2.25 inch barrel,fits my holsters nicer anyways.But here she is in all of the stainless glory.Also in .357 Mag,I didnt realize they make this one in .327 Federal also,not to mention 9mm.

Yessir,thats exactly the one I would like,3 inch with Crimson Trace grips.

Well fellas,I can see I opened a whole can of the proverbial worms.believe me I have been pondering a decision for awhile now on the semi-auto versus the revolver.But in reality I grew up shooting revolvers and have owned many of them,and I have to say I only had 1 that was a real POS,spit lead everywhere except down the barrel.I awakened to the carry scene only in the last couple of years,and probably wouldnt even fret about it if I still lived in a peacefull and none violent area.But that aint so.all the various opinions are for the most part based in reality which is the scary part,if some of our citizens were fine and upstanding none of us would even be having this type of talk.For the last 20 odd years I lived in an area where all a person had to worry about as far as violence goes is whether or not you would be accosted by a dog or coyote,and the answer to that problem was straight forward,but the predators on our streets deem we need protection from them,therefore a firearm of some type or be really well trained in knife wielding.For myself I think I have reached a decision.and that is I would rather have a weapon that I and my wife are able to use,and possibly a son or daughter also.So to make a long story short I guess I will be toting a revolver from now on. PS:On a side note I will be looking into a Ruger SP101 or possibly a S&W Model 60 in .357mag-seems they would be a little better suited to a defensive standpoint than .38 special.Also most of them are running around 25 ounces empty which makes either one fairly light.My wife knows how to use a .38 snubbie so we have that covered.

It actually shoots pretty nice,I was a little wary at first but not to worry,all rounds at 21 foot go where they are supposed to.I actually disliked shooting an Airweight I had,but this one is actually kinda fun.

Yeh,its one of the last year models with the gold trigger and hammer,its a full stainless frame which makes it a little easier to control.

I wear it in a Crossbreed Supertuck,just getting a little tired of my side hurting all the time,seems like no matter what holster I use I get tired of it.I wear OWB with a Desantis Mini Slide,also have used a MTAC for awhile.

Hey fellas,any one here ever feel under gunned by carrying a 5 shot or 6 shot revolver instead of a Semi-Auto.I am considering going to a 2 or 3 inch barrel revolver in either a .38 Special or .357 Mag for my daily carry pistol.I guess I am getting tired of having to always have spare mags,is the pistol going to work right just when I need it,and the weight of the whole darn rig is also becoming bothersome.I have been wearing a Taurus 85 in a Blackhawk holster for the last day or 2 and it sure is a lot easier on the waist and ribs than my EMP.Not to mention I have kept a Bianchi Speed Strip in my off side pocket with extra rounds and barely notice its there.What say the collective,has anyone else switched from the Semi-Auto scene to the wheelgun .I am loaded with 129gr Federal Hydra Shock in +p.I think it would be a fairly decent BG round,of coarse I could be wrong also. This is the little jewel I am talking about,complete with porting,shoots darn nice.

I would imagine they are filling a void by offering smaller concealable pistols for those of us that feel a need to carry one on a daily basis.I know I sure wouldnt carry around a full size 1911 for a real long time without whining a lot.

I have recently(like the last couple of weeks)carried OWB but concealed and have to admit its a lot more comfortable with a certain body make up than others.I have a very short torso and this always puts the butt of my EMP into my lower ribs which gets very annoying,so lately I have been using a Desantis Mini Slide for carry.Anyone else running into this abnophenom(my own personal description)for lack of a better word,rib ache.Anyone here ever run into any problems with staying under the radar wearing an outside holster.I always wear a shirt over this set up as not to alarm the 911 phobics(Oh My God I Broke A Nail)should I call.Have any of you converted over to this type of carry or possibly have always ran OWB.Inquiring minds want to know.

It would make a good weight at the bottom of an aquarium to hold the plants down,only if it didnt poison the fish that is.
