I don’t even understand why suppressors are regulated in the United States

Scott, when you submitted electronically, did you go through a kiosk like the Silencer Shop ones?

Yes, I used a Silencer Shop Kiosk.

Scott Tschirhart

I did my submission all electronically. Went well.

Scott Tschirhart

Scott, what are you going to use as a host? What is your intended use. Just curious as to what others use theirs for. Thanks, Paul Paul, I own a number of suppressors. This particular one will be used on a little bolt action.300 Blackout. I reckon I’ll shoot whatever from hogs to deer to varmints w...

Scott Tschirhart

Yes, I was surprised. But I submitted on February 14 and was approved on February 28.

Trusts are taking much longer than individual applications.

Scott Tschirhart

Forcing you to buy insurance in order to exercise your Constitutional rights sounds as illegal as a poll tax to me.

Scott Tschirhart

Now might be the time.

My approval came back in 14 days. I have heard of applications being approved in four days.

Scott Tschirhart

Yes . Took the photos yesterday afternoon.

Scott Tschirhart

I suspect that some Blackhawks are accidentally more accurate than others regardless of the chambering.

Scott Tschirhart

And a pretty lady.

Scott Tschirhart

I use them interchangeably in my revolvers and leverguns. No issues.

Scott Tschirhart

Come to think of it, I haven’t been to a gun show since the onset of Covid.

They have one here in SA this weekend but I just don’t know if I have that much interest

Scott Tschirhart

I had an early Kimber that was reliable and accurate.

But the ones I have tried in recent years have been a mix. Shame too because Kimber really takes the sharp edges off. I sure like that.

Scott Tschirhart

It shot even better after running some rounds through it.

The terrible thing is I shoot this little gun better than I shoot the FA 97

Scott Tschirhart

First six .357 Magnum

Scott Tschirhart

First six .38 Special

Scott Tschirhart

The old guns are sometimes better.

That’s probably right. Some guns are dimensionally better than others but I don’t know if I can detect a trend.

Scott Tschirhart

That scares the heck out of me!!!

I’ll put them on the gun to celebrate Texas Independence Day today!

Scott Tschirhart

That’s a long walk! Fantastic story though. We won’t get up to help a neighbor these days and those men walked to war!

That shows a greater quality of man if you ask me.

Scott Tschirhart

Happy Texas Independence Day everyone (even if you aren’t from Texas!).

I’m a proud Son of the Texas Republic.

Exactly my experience.

Scott Tschirhart

That’s right, pre-27. I had a Registered Magnum in my hand today as well. This gun looks to be unfired.

Scott Tschirhart

I believe this one is from 1956 and if I were smarter I would have carried one of these my entire law enforcement careeer. Almost as fast in the hand as a SAA but it’s a better gun for a cop

Scott Tschirhart

Nothing better in a double action revolver.

I would have pulled my Leatherman out and told him, “I’m gonna cut a trap door on the back of your pants and we is gonna have fun!—006

I’d hate to scare the poor kid!

Scott Tschirhart

Out of the box, I don’t really know. .44 and.41 probably have better chamber dimensions as I have always opened chamber throats on a .45 before it shot like it should.

Scott Tschirhart

5:18-5:24. That’s an M16 he just has it tilted somewhat.

Scott Tschirhart

Thanks for the report.

Billy Dixon’s resting place and my .50 buffalo rifle.

That would be a shame. But it’s been dry and very windy.

Scott Tschirhart

Very nice! I’m so glad you got to enjoy this!

Scott Tschirhart

It’s a cold and dreary day, by Texas standards, so I donned my Carhart barn jacket and felt hat and went down to vote. A young man was standing at the 100 foot mark and he had a black felt hat on too. He was electioneering and asked whether I was voting in the Republican primary. I said that I was a...

Scott Tschirhart

Probably a lot!!!!

Scott Tschirhart

Whatever the source, I don’t like it because people are not behaving in a civilized fashion that we have come to expect in our society. We are seeing more and more of this in urban crime but that’s only the most obvious. It’s much deeper and more widespread.

Scott Tschirhart

I was tasked with introducing one of my law partners to one of the lawmen in my personal circle yesterday. So I strapped on an old and trusted friend of many years.

A bit heavier than I tend to carry daily but still felt right on my hip.

Scott Tschirhart

Imagine what a shocking event it was for Smith & Wesson and Remington to release a sixgun and cartridge rated for a 158 gr bullet at 1500 fps! Of course the 7.63 Mauser clocked 1450 fps, but it was mighty uncommon here and was only available in a FMJ military style loading. The .357 was a major ...

Scott Tschirhart

I used a 357 carbine for most hunting for a few years due to some physical restrictions at the time. I was loading down 158 grain bullets to 1300-1400fps , technically still revolver power and took all size hogs. Killed a few smaller ones broadside with the 125grain remington UMC 38+P factory round...

A carbine really makes the .357 turn on!

Scott Tschirhart

I don’t go back that far my Brother, but I’ve shot a lot of that load and still do.

Scott Tschirhart

You and I have been loading and shooting 14.5 gr of 2400 behind a 160-173 gr bullet for how many years?

Not to Paco levels, but certainly closer to what the .357 was meant to be.

Scott Tschirhart

Very good Jim. Thanks for posting.

Scott Tschirhart

In my guns, this load gives a bit more than the Hornady manual velocity.

FA 97 4 1/4 inches averages 1374

FA97 7.5 inches averages 1435

S&W 686 4 inch averages 1343

Marlin 20 inch averages 1767

Scott Tschirhart

That’s probably exactly right. I’ve been shooting the .357 for many years, including before SAAMI dropped the pressure down.

I don’t recommend that anybody exceed the manuals

Scott Tschirhart

The other thing to take into consideration is that your loads may not need to be crimped if your brass has a firm grip on your bullets. If you load your cylinder full, fire five and then inspect the sixth round for bullet movement, you may find that there's no need to crimp any of your rounds and i...

Scott Tschirhart

I’ve run them in separate batches with the same load. I can’t tell any difference.

Scott Tschirhart

I don’t think it will hurt anything to seat the bullet deeper and crimp because, as you can see the Hornady brass on the left has no crimp.
