Re: Thoughts on pocket knives.
I also feel naked without a knife on me! Usually a pocket knife a Old Timer. However when I was working I carried a Remington locking folder. I wore bibs over my cloths to keep somewhat clean and my sweat would rust up the Old Timer in my pocket soooo bad. Even oiling every day was a chore. I was se...

Re: 38 special and 44 special RNFP Home defense ammo out of carbines
I am repeating myself here!
Look for either 38 special or 357 or 44 special or 44 mag cowboy ammo. Lead bullet and low velocity. Plenty of factory ammo to choose from!

I read that 296 and 110 are equivalent powders. No personal experience though. I do have plenty of 2400 for things I reload for already.

A couple of weeks ago I decided to revisit my early 410 days. First shotgun I got was for Christmas from my hunting partner, may dad, A single barrel break action, exposed hammer rig. When I was older I purchased a Remington 1100 12 gauge and since then I wanted one in 410. Well a couple of weeks ag...

Re: Updated and Improved Python
I have loved mine since I gave my dad $175.00 to buy one for me in 1967. I was 17 and I got a box each 0f 38's and 357's for the price to boot. Years later I sent it back to Colt for a timing issue, found out they were a race horse not a work mule, not built for a steady diet of HOT loads. That's ok...

Depends on the load as to what will happen. Here is an interesting fact! I reload my own! I was playing with 44 mag cases and cat sneeze loads. I was using a 300grgc LFN with 5,5grs of WST powder. The velocity out of my 7.5" Redhawk was about 750fps and out of my 24" barreled Marlin was, w...
