I have the Maverick Security Model,18.5 inch barrel and comes with the black synthetic stock.All the standard Mossberg barrels will fit the Maverick.On a side note the safety is mounted on the trigger guard which for myself is the right place for it.The Mossberg 500 safety is on the top of the receiver.

I have a MTM Mini that goes up to 750 grains that was about $35.00,I also use a RCBS Rangemaster 750,I usually set the RCBS and then double check with the MTM,so far they have both worked quite well.Originally I crossed checked both of them against a Lee beam scale.Its a good idea to do that cross ckecking thing I guess.The only thing I dont like about the MTM is it also has the auto shut off set too short.My RCBS has a wall adapter so I plug it in,let it warm up and then zero it.This way a person can then just leave it turned on.I am reloading nothing but target rounds so my measurements are normally for Unique or Bullseye and on the light side say between 3 and 6 grains.Both scales measure this pretty accurately from what I can tell.

Needless to say I have not heard good things about the Warthogs,one fella I know has one but its very tempermental towards the hold a person has on it.On the other hand Congrats on picking up a good replacement.

I was in Range USA about a month ago on a slow Monday,a fella walked straight over to one of the employees and asked if they sold sniper rifles,she asked this fella what caliber he was looking for,his reply and I quote(probably something in a 50 BMG)I kinda was wondering how big his squirrels are,seemed like a weird request from someone that didnt seem to know which end of the rifle to hold.Takes all kinds I guess.:screwy:

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.
