    Ruger 327 federal sp101 available

    I passed up a nearly new one a few years back for $500. I'm still kicking myself over that one. :(

    Well, looks like I'm in club Fed.

    About 2 years ago, I passed on a nearly new 4" SP101 SS in .327 for $500. :( I still kick myself. over that one.

    Service six

    I believe the Indians had S&W Victory models in .38 S&W. I know the Fiji Island police were still using .38 S&W Victory models in 2003. I examined a few while I was an international police officer in Kosovo.

    Bisley 32 H&R Magnum question

    Henry advertises these .32 rifles and carbines as being chambered in .327 Federal/.32 H&R Magnum. https://www.henryusa.com/rifles/henry-big-boy-steel/

    .327 FM SP101 - Why the tapered cylinder?

    "My revolvers use full moon clips, so I have no use for flutes. I prefer the smooth lines of unfluted cylinders." What does the use of moon clips have to do with cylinder flutes?

    45ACP Cylinder for an OM Blackhawk

    I bought a .45 convertible about 25 years ago. At that point in time, I had access to free .ACP ammo. My BH shoots extremely well with ACP ammo. I doubt I have shot more than 50 rounds through the .45 Colt cylinder. The first cartridge I ever reloaded was the .45 Colt and that was back in 1973...

    Andy Horvath "Little Ruger" conversion

    Insure it for $1200-$1500. Those of us that like custom firearms understand their worth. :)

    New Model 45 Convertible

    My NM 4 5/8" .45 convertible was bought around 1994 and the SN is 47-90770. I use the ACP cylinder the most and it is very accurate.

    Ruger revolver price increase.

    An Old Model .45 Colt Blackhawk was $96 in the summer of 1973. That was retail at the time. Wish I still had that one. :(

    EC9S or G3c?

    I've owned my EC9s for about 3 years now. No malfunctions, carries well in a pocket holster. I tried Speer shotshells, figuring I would have to hand feed them. That little Ruger feeds shotshells just like hardball! I bought extra mags from Brownells.

    Bearcat with adjustable rear sight?

    IIRC, 1-2 years now.

    Unusual NM Blackhawk 45 Colt

    The ears were added to support the rear sight when elevated, nothing more. There have no complaints about frame strength among those who shot the flat top Old Model .44 magnum Blackhawks.

    Clements Custom Single Six Got it today!!!

    Sounds nice. Back around 2006, I had David shorten a S&W Model 27 .44 Special conversion from 6 1/2" to 5", put on a new front ramp sight and re-blue it. Of course, he did an excellent job. I only live about 20 miles away from him. Maybe I'll wander over and coon finger your Single Six. :D

    Refresh my memory, it's been a long time since I've had one.

    I bought a stainless NM Bearcat .22 LR cylinder and re-chambered it to .22 Magnum. The timing is fine and it shoots well. I haven't shot all that much; I just wanted the option.

    EC9S trigger "creep"?

    I checked mine, which I've had for about three years now. It has a bit of take-up, but breaks clean. I've fired about 200 plus rounds through it. It rides in my front right trouser pocket whenever I leave the house. Shoot and dry fire it some. It will probably smooth up.
