The Armorer is being blamed but she has now broken her silence on the matter. Hannah Gutierrez (Reed) is holding the producers of the film responsible. Says that she has no idea where the live rounds came from and would not allow live rounds to be used under any circumstances. https://variety.com/20...

I've tried to keep track of the number of rounds I put through particular guns, but I always seem to lose track or decide to trade off the gun. But there is a lesson here. If you put that many rounds through a .22 revolver, you can probably shoot just about anything well. What I wish I had done many...

It was the 170 gr hollow point. I think I still have some of that ammo.

This is one of the reasons I use my real name on line. It keeps me from posting anything I would not say to my mother.

Scott Tschirhart

As a boy, I read an article about a RIC Webley that had been converted to .45 Auto Rim. That sounds like a useful revolver and I have lots of .45 Auto Rim ammo.

Guys, I watched the Dave Chappelle show "The Closer" last night. I wanted to see what the hype was all about. I wanted to see what the people who live on social media wanted to cancel him for........it was not what I expected. The show opened with low hanging fruit that you might expect to...

Scott Tschirhart

Scott, I'm sorry you had to go through that. "Full house" 10 mm loads are one of my favorites and I have a very nice Kimber Eclipse 1911 in that chambering. Loaded as was originally designed, it should do the job that Col Cooper intended it to do. Lots of power in a compact cartridge that...

If someone has to tell you that he is a "Christian" to induce you to do a deal with him, grab your wallet and run!

This advice has always served me well.

Scott Tschirhart

I don't exactly know why but I have always wanted to mess with a British military revolver perhaps from the time period of the Boer War. They seem to have a lot of screws (which is a downside) and .455 ammo is certainly not readily available, but I just like the way they look. Anyone have any experi...

We, as a civilization, have become too queer. What will the men of this new generation look back on? "I was there at Occupy Wall Street and I got teargassed." "I thought I was a woman, but it turned out that I was mistaken." "I was in San Francisco where everyone was shittin...

Yea as kids we found out that oak slabs were not good targets for a cap & ball revolver :shock: a bud of mine got hit by a 22 bullet that took a 90 degree turn on frozen tag alder brush that knocked him flat & bruised him badly, the bullet hit him right where he had his bill fold in his shi...

This is a wonderful gathering and I highly recommend attendance. Fine folks and you know we don't know exactly what tomorrow may bring. But it has been too long since I sat by a fire at night with good friends and good conversation. I need to fix that.

Scott Tschirhart

I used to load a lot of round balls in revolver cartridges using the information in the older Speer manuals......until I had one bounce back on me from shooting at a green tree. Since then, I generally rely on .22s for such uses. But this is good information and something we all ought to be familiar...

Here's some fav. loads: 30WCF: any case, primer, cast boolit: 10grs. Unique, 1/4 square TP tamped down on the powder & 3 grs. chassis lube (lithium) on top of the wad. In 50 yrs I haven't had a ringed chamber, nor any leading in any rifle I've used with this proceedure. Don't even need a GC. It...

I had the misfortune to have to put 7 rounds of that hot Norma 10mm ammo to use one night (and the first round traversed his heart). But he was able to move quite some distance before it was over. However, I have seen some folks go down immediately with a hit that would not be considered lethal. Its...

I really wish I could have made it this year. But Kathy ended up in the hospital over the weekend and it was a good thing we were here.

Scott Tschirhart

Hell, I keep my guns loaded unless I am cleaning them or they are stashed in the safe. One gun stays loaded no matter where I put it. An unloaded gun is a pretty poor excuse for a club.

But this is real life and Mr. Baldwin's shooting was on a movie set. Very different things.

Scott Tschirhart

As with most of these deals there’s probably plenty of blame to go around. The tragedy is that the lady didn’t have to die. In the last 50 years I have had three negligent discharges with firearms. I say negligent because they were my fault entirely. Fortunately nobody got hurt. I would have been re...

This fellow was in Chicago the same time I was in Houston.

It’s worth a listen.

It appears that this didn’t happen during a scene but rather during one of Mr.Baldwin’s rants.

I am curious as to if the shooting occurred during the actual filming of a scene in the movie. And granted Balwin should have checked the gun for loaded rounds, (but he's an actor and probably doesn't know anything about guns) (however, I now remember, he has made several movies in the past, involv...

Just bringing this one back to the top in honor of our friend Terry.

Scott Tschirhart

I had one that was marked with the US Ordinance mark and the firebomb.

It was a 20 inch plain barrelled gun. I don't remember getting rid of it, but I haven't owned it in years.

I do love the Browning Auto 5 and I always shot them well because of the flattop reciever.

Scott Tschirhart

I don't know why he was pointing the gun at her. But it sounds like manslaughter to me. Under the Texas Penal Code: Sec. 19.04. MANSLAUGHTER. (a) A person commits an offense if he recklessly causes the death of an individual. (b) An offense under this section is a felony of the second degree. Of cou...

Scott Tschirhart

1 question.

Regardless of what that gun was loaded with.....

Why was he pointing a gun at anyone and pulling the trigger?

If he followed Coopers' rules, she would be alive today.

Scott Tschirhart

This is a tragedy, but I cannot help but think that.........

Alec Baldwin has now killed more innocent people than Kyle Rittenhouse.

Hi Viz

Scott Tschirhart

A 14 pound spring still pops the primers. So I lowered the trigger weight a bit. New front sight should help too. Tritium and fiber optic.

Scott Tschirhart

Hmm? That's pretty creative!

Scott Tschirhart

Maybe a bit off subject, but a low velocity 22 short (behind the front leg) dispatches skunks and other critters better than anything faster. I used to shoot a lot of squirrels. The .22 Short was better for me than a .22 Long Rifle. I don't exactly know why. But often a squirrel shot through the ch...

Scott Tschirhart

For a defensive load, I have long thought that a 300 grain flatpoint at about 500 fps from a Charter Arms revolver would be the bees knees.....if you could get it to stabilize. Let's face it, most deadly force confrontations that involve a handgun occur at bad breath distances. For this purpose, a b...

For beauty and elegance - S&W Model 29 8-3/8" For practicality and durability - Ruger Speed or Security Six 3" For taking into the gates of hell - Ruger Redhawk 7-1/2" I really like this answer. But the finest built of all revolvers of the last century is a tossup between the Smi...

Charles, You and I have done and do the same thing. But I'll wager we both grew up and started shooting and hand loading long before Al Gore invented the internet. . . . . The internet has made shooters unwilling to start from the beginning and learn, then move on to the doing. They want it "N...

Scott Tschirhart

I laid in a lot of primers after the last time we did this. But yesterday, I ordered a case of 10 pounds of Unique from Bruno Shooters Supply in Arizona. The only place I could find that had it and would allow me to order a significant amount (to spread out the hazmat fee). I'm thinking that this i...

I use the small rifle primers in .357 loads all the time. No problems.

However, you cannot use large rifle primers in pistol cases. The large rifle primer cup is deeper.

Scott Tschirhart

Mine shoots a bit high with my Skeeter loads and not too bad considering the weight of the trigger. That’s 7 rounds because I had an extra. Might need to file just a bit off the top of the rear sight blade.

Scott Tschirhart

Nothing wrong with that. I think I took a break for more than 10 years.

Scott Tschirhart

The trigger on mine is heavy, but predictable and crisp.

I'll shoot it a bit before doing anything to it. Dry firing it several thousand times should help smooth things up as well.
