A Ruger Blackhawk Convertible in 38-40WCF/40S&W/10mmMagnum would be a real wiener. Cheers, W-W

I like using 200gr lead round nose flat points (LRNFP) the shoot great in both my 45 Converible Blackhawk and Springfield 1911A1 Mil Spec.

I picked my 9mm LCR last Friday got it home cleaned & oiled and was off to the Firing Line. Even with the 17 oz. frame recoiled was snappy using my reloads (115gr xTreme copper plated bullet, 5.6 gr BE-86, Winchester Small Pistol primer, 1.100” OAL, crimped with Lee Factory Crimp die). Easily...

Winner winner chicken dinner! Looked up my original posts from 2010 wishing for the LCR 9mm, true to my word I bought one the day they became legal in California. Cheers, W-W

Since the LCR came out I have hoped for one in 9mm and have started several messages here to that effect. They just became legal in California on 01/08/2015 and I ordered one yesterday! Good Stuff

Over the past year I have picked up 3# of Bullseye, 3# of Unique, 2# of Power Pistol, and 6# of BE-86 at a gun shop in Palmdale, California for around $20 a #. My last trip there in December I bought an 8# jug of Hodgodon CFE-Pistol for $144 which works out to $18 per # along with H110, W297...

Okay! Now it is time for Federal and or Hornady to produce a thick rimmed 9mm Auto Rim, not unlike the 45 Auto Rim. I know all about the Federal 9mm Rimmed produced years ago in partnership with Charter Arms that had the thin 'standard' rim. Cheers, W-W

I have one of the original GP-100s form the mid 80s. After firing countless Remington and Federal 125 gr JHPs I finally burned through the forcing cone. Returned it to Ruger, who rebarreled and in general restored it to factory new and returned it to me at NO CHARGE!

I need to look through my 30 Carbine books, as I recall a story told by an Army or Air Force lineman in VietNam who carried a Ruger Blackhawk in 30 Carbine while climbing poles.

I found a complete P95 with magazine, less the frame for $95 on EBAY a couple years ago.

If not shooting my reloads of Berry's 115gr TMJ over 5.8gr of Power Pistol I'm shooting either FMJ 115gr Winchester White Box or JHP 115gr Remington bulk package from Walmart.

I bought my stainless steel conversion cylinder through Taylors and glad I did, since I had to return both it and my ROA to Taylors for fitting, at no charge. Since then I have put over a thousand rounds of 45 Colt through it… I use either 250gr LSWC or 200gr LRNFP bullets over 8gr of Unique...

I use the Remington 38 Special +P 158gr LSWC HP in both my S&W M-10 and M-49. Using this ammo they both shoot to point of aim.

I have used the original x100 round bulk Remington 125gr JHP’s from Wal-Mart for years in my GP-100. I guarantee anything shot with them will not be able to tell the difference from the x20 round box Gucci stuff.

I just picked up a 9 rounder at a gun show for $37. It appears to be nothing more than a standard 7 round magazine body with an extension, allowing for the longer spring and extra 2 rounds. Have yet to make it to the range and try it out. While the 9 round magazines are not practical for...
