The one thing unique about 22 automatic pistols compared to all other calibers are the extra long target length barrels available. I have four all with 7.5 inch barrels and love them all. Browning Buckmark, S&W 22-A, Beretta Neos and the expensive S&W 41. The 22-A has thescope on it which is...

Eyeball it on a bench grinder. Takes about two seconds each. I do it mostly taking FMJ tips off milsurp ammo to make hunting bullets. They look just like 30-30 ammo when done. Yea, the lead gets into the grinding wheel but I zap it with another piece of iron and throw some sparks and that seems to c...

I was poking around their website and saw some new to me Beretta designs that are probably way expensive. I'd guess but have no idea that someone else has made these for Beretta.

[quote="Hobie"]Some guys like the .454 and some find the .45 Colt is enough gun.[/quote] . My point exactly. If the 454 shoots the 45LC then it is a 45 Colt gun for all intents and purposes and CAN BE a 454 also if you ever want it. Has anyone here actually experienced the 454 chamber gett...

Last week there was reference to an old 1957 gun magazine that had lots of neat stuff but what I noticed was that the competitive pistol shooters were all holding their pistols with one hand. I dont see that today and maybe there are matches where one hand hold is required ... I dont know. If not, w...

Aguilla has the highest velocity 22 Long Rifle option currently on the market and it really makes a difference if you hit what you are shooting at. I have a Marlin, Savage, and 10/22 and do a lot of bench rest shooting and in all three guns, the groups were 6 inchs larger than other hi vel 22 ammo. ...

Using the Marlin 336 advertisement in the magazine as the standard of comparison, I figure todays prices are approx ten times what they were in 1957. Thusly the Colt 45 1911 pistol would be $440 todays equivalent brand new. I always suspected those pistols are artificially price inflated compared to...

From what I hear our obsession with the 1911 has a lot to do with rooting for the home team or some type of patriotic inclination or maybe old time nostalgia.

seems to me there is a big overlap between both calibers in bullets from 250 gr to 350 gr with the 444 being able to shoot pistol bullets much lighter and the 45/70 able to shoot up to 500 grain. In the 350-350 grain overlap range both could be hand loaded to do essentially the same thing. I do like...

I actually did inquire with several layers of Marlin Management about the possibility of doing the S&W 460 with the interchangeable power levels of the 454 and the 45 colt and they said their current 1895 design could not handle the magnum pressures. The said the 454 Casull pressure level is bey...

I think the S&W 460 would be a much better shooting
cartridge than the S&W 500. PRIMARILY because
they would make it so you could load and shoot
interchangeably 454 Casull and 45 Long Colts in it.

Imagine a 45 Long Rifle, Long and Short Lever action.
