Hello everyone; The Good News: I own a 45 Colt - Win. Trapper. It is an excellent carry rifle. The Bad News: The trigger pull is somewhere in the range of "medium gorilla". ~10-15#, I exagerate, but in truth it is really, really bad... Any advice and the name of a good professional that I ...

Shooter: Take care and you are on my list.

Will do... {IJohn 5:13-15}

Wow! How did you get that dude up on the bank? Dave, in Mozambique we hunted out of a blind my guide/trackers built next to a junction of two tidal rivers. After the shot, and as the tide came in that evening, we had three very large dugout canoes with nine 'locals' in each big canoe. They tied rop...

Chris Kyle loves America, and unlike the world of liberal "Obamacrats", welfare recipients, and "PETA' minded wussies that surround us, he was willing to fight to protect those around him. God does not want anyone to kill, but to protect American military troops, Chris Kyle put himse...

My daily carry (even as I type this note), is a Sig 226 'Blackwater'. 9mm, 127gr. +P+, 21 rounds (with one in the pipe), night sights, accuracy, quick reset trigger, and stone cold reliable. - I love my .45 Colt, but like another said earlier - 9mm is enough, and 21 rounds are comforting.

As on March 1st, Google will change their "history" logging practice, and unless you opt out they will use your Google history as they see fit for marketing and 'other'.

Scary!!

You workin' fer Garrett?

No, but when I shoot something that could hurt my chubby body , I want dependable ammo that hits with authority. Garrett makes heavy, ammo that really hits like a high speed thrown brick. -

About 40 yards away. He would bob up and down for about five seconds with just his nose, eyes and ears above the surface. See the stick stuck inbetween his left eye and ear? That is sticking in the hole where a 45/70, Garrett 540 grain Hammerhead went in. - Game over... http://i162.photobucket.com/a...

Octagon: You will find most every shooter has an opinion, here is mine. - - Once ~100-150 rounds have been run through a new pistol - if something is going to happen it probably will happen. - - For me, after 100-150 rounds of live-fire testing a new firearm, if it functions reliabily and within my ...

Hillbilly: Anyone that shoots frequently has a story of their own. Eventually everyone gets a surprise of some kind. Some talk about it, some pretend it never happened - but the adage that all guns should be considered loaded is true... Thanks for the reminder.

Hello John: Thanks for the reply. I have been a member, but not active for a while. Now that I have a tad more time I hope to get in more shooting. Way back when, I worked my way through under graduate college as a motorcycle policeman, and trusted my body to a Mod 29 S&W. Since then I have move...

Like many, I too have a Colt Series 70, and it is reliable as a rock. Through the years it has never failed to perform... Though is remains loaded, chambered and resting in my nightstand for a year or more; when I take it out for an annual cleaning and test fire to shoot out the ammo in the gun - I ...

Thanks to one and all for the greetings and the information. :D I will contact "Steve" and see if he can assist me. I believe that the Trapper, within 50 yards, using Corbon 335 grain 45 Colt ammo will do a job on whitetail here in Georgia. - - I have done a tad of levergun hunting. I used...

I have a 'Trapper' in .45 Colt, and with 335 grain Corbon ammunition it would be an ideal little rifle for whitetail hunting here in the thick woods of Georgia. However, the trigger pull is absolutely miserable; it feels like something on the order of ~10 or 12 lbs. I am looking for a good gunsmith ...

Hello: (I'm Not very active on the forum so forgive me if this topic has been answered before.) Sorry guys but I left out the "NOT" in my original post, and then I had to travel this past weekend and missed the replys that many of you were courteous enough to send. - - My thanks to all. I...

Hello: (I'm very active on the forum so forgive me if this topic has been answered before.) I want to have a 'professional' gunsmith convert my 45LC Trapper to 454 Casull. I hope it can be done within allowable pressure limits for the action: 1. Has anyone done this? 2. Is there a good gunsmith that...
