We are good to go here in VA, but you may be in trouble in MD. IIRC, the mags have to be empty and stored separately from the pistol. It varies greatly by state.

I have the Bushman model, and while I haven't tested it extensively, it seems like a functional and versatile knife for woods/camping/survival situations -- kind of a one-does-it-all knife. Then again, I will probably never use as intended -- e.g., attaching it to a stick to make a spear. If I'm goi...

The 'environment' is NOT the motivation for all this stuff - it's just the 'reason' that the naive and well-meaning 'liberal' Democrats are given, to get them to support it. The goal is simply to do the same thing the Republicans do - "pick the winners" and get votes, campaign contributio...

I've tried appendix carry a few times, especially with my PM9. However, I sit at the desk a lot (or in a car) and AC doesn't really work for me. I actually find S.O.B. or 4:30-5:00 carry works better sitting down (except for the car). People, however, swear by the Smart Carry system, and it seems to...

Sweet Mike! Very clean and "business-like".

I picked that as a load because it would in theory develope the 1200 ft lbs of energy required by Maryland law for rifle hunting for deer (or come very close to it). The 180 gr loads don't seem do that as easily even if they do kill deer more efficiently (or not as the case may be). -Kevin Wow, tal...

Are those grips Buffalo Horn? Don't think so Kirk. I believe GR has his own custom grips made from Micarta. It's unfortunate...GR uses a non-standard Bisley grip. After market grips won't fit.

With the rising prices, not sure it's going to fit in my budget at this time. Reminds of when the Saigas first hit the street. Back then, $300 got you a semi-auto shotgun. Now you pay $700 for the same weapon. Hope the KelTec stays (comes back down to...) ~$400 ...and there's no keeping my brother i...

Madman, you have me sold on this. I see they come compatible with Sig 226 mags...perfect! Fits right in with my bug out weapon of choice. I admit the superiority of the .40 S&W, but have no other guns in that caliber. So, I'll opt for compatibility. I'm on the hunt now for the best price (and fu...

Looks great...that is a Baer customized pistol? Gary Reeder customized Ruger SBH. Thanks all...I agree...it is purrdy!

Just fooling around last night with the camera. Nothing serious (e.g., did not break out the lights and macro lens), but took a couple of snaps of my Gary Reeder .44 mag SBH.

Check out the Heavy .44 special and Reduced Recoil .44 magnum loads from Buffalo Bore. I've been eying this pistol for a while, and they seem to be the most popular loads for it.

I live 15 minutes from the Expo Center and try to go to the show as often as I can. They come around every three months (though the bigger ones are in Jan/Feb and July).

If by #4 you mean the S&W 329PD, then I highly second the choice. It's on my list as well, for it's combination of cartridge, size and weight.

Here's GunBlast's article on it:
http://www.gunblast.com/SW329PD.htm

alnitak

Interesting that no .44 was included in the list -- .44-40, .44 special or .44 mag. Although my preference would probably be .45-70 or .30-30, I just don't see me shooting enough of either to warrant buying 500-1000 cases to supplement my current supplies.

Panzercat, if you get a chance to hunt with the gang down in Hondo, you will certainly enjoy it. Here's a write up I did a couple years back when I hunted with 86er and the boys. Hope it gives you a flavor of the ranch:

I have a different impression when I think of a "fishing" gun. For me, I want something relatively small, maybe to fit in a tackle box or waist pack, and rugged enough to take a beating, dirt, a dunking in the water, etc. With that in mind, I tend to gravitate towards a revolver rather tha...

Just now saw the sticky...makes sense to me. No topic is "OT" for this unique group!

So, any help out there with a load? Can anyone see if their reloading books provide other loads that those I have from the Hodgdon site?

Thanks.

Nice...I'm thinking of trading the V7 for a V7-wide (if I can find one). Ever come across them?

You should not have to run that thing for anywhere near 4 hours to get your brass nice and clean and shining.
