This feature allowed him to shuck fine shot out of the chamber and put buckshot or slug in its place if and when the bea...

I know nothing about the incedent in Missouri but I have had my share of persecution from local tyrants and despots. I have come too close to being "backed into a corner" in the context of this discussion for comfort. No, there is no excuse for violent behaviour but as the gentleman from T...

I used to be a wormy, slight built little fellow. But then I started working 12 hour night shifts and stopping by fast food joints. My weight fluctuates from between 80 and 100 lbs. too much for my height. My doctor put me on an extremely low carb diet due to my colesterol being extremely low and th...

Trimmed .38 S&W brass ain't AR brass. It headspaces on the mouth. If your ruger missfires with unclipped 9mm loads then it might not work with trimmed .38S&W. The .756" I mentioned worked in my gun but maybe too short in yours. This is going to require some trial and error. Keep in mind...

.38 S&W brass trimmed to .756" works fine in mine. A 9mm Lee speed die is what I use. Too long and they drag on the recoil shield. Too short and they go snap. I use standrd 9mm luger load data. They also work in some of my .357's. Most of the time I use 9mm ammo without the clips and pick t...
