I would think he would have a case to claim entrapment. They clearly set him up... Since he was advertising his services, not an entrapment case. Wingenroth, who openly advertised his business in area publications, was told by state game wardens last year that such an activity was illegal, authorit...

Or... do what I do when I find the small primer 45ACP cases... I put them in my scrap brass bucket to trade for lead at the recyclers. Normally, I return brass to it's owner, but these small primer 45ACP cases are an abomination, and I won't return them to . Similar to Hornady using short brass on t...

Congrats! I've 3 SAAs... 2 3rd Gen 45 Colt 4-¾" guns and a 2nd Gen Presentation model I bought for my wife in .357 7-½". I don't think anything handles as nicely as a real Colt. I also have 3 clones, 2 45 Colts and a .357, all 4-¾". All six have been slicked up for use in cowboy actio...

Actually, I think the title should be "Be Sure of Your Target!" But that scenario was wrong on many more levels that the obvious! But... I am not surprised. when I was a background investigator in CA, no one from a FL Sheriff's Office or City Police Dept. was hired that didn't first go thr...

I've never been a fan of using a shotgun for indoor work... might be a holdover from my training officer in the 1970s, as he held they were too long to move effectively in clearing a house, as they require two hands to be effective. (Opening doors, etc. requires a free hand). For a defensive situati...

There's a couple of guys that post on the SASS Wire that use them occasionally in cowboy action matches... but with capacity of just seven rounds they certainly aren't competitive. :P But, there was a reason President Lincoln preferred the Spencer to the Henry.

Thanks for the chuckles... I'm so glad I don't own a 9mm... My 45ACP & C45S seem small to me... And handling those .224 bullets for .223 challenges my manual dexterity! Probably why my gallon & a half bucket of prepped empty brass and 2,000 plus projectiles remain segregated! Jim, I think it...

My 2 3rd Gen Colt SAAs are from the 1970s. The first one had an action job by Bob Munden in 1986. He polished the hammer/trigger interface, put in a wire trigger/bolt spring and put an hourglass shape to the mainspring (Look at Lee's Gunsmithing Kit), but not that drastic. What a world of difference...

After seeing and reading of many of your experiences with a Simply Rugged holster, I ordered one to carry my single action. Their website had them for as "in-stock" or over-stock at a discounted price. I ordered it last Thursday, and it arrived today. I would have liked a brown one, but......

I bought a Combat Commander in 1976, 45ACP. It got stolen in 1980, and replaced a few weeks later with an 80 Series. The Sheriff's department armorer fixed it to be a proper 1911 action and ramped the action so it would reliably feed 200 grain HPs... We weren't allowed to carry semi-autos unless in ...

The flame cutting was a problem created by people who did not understand what was going on and how it worked. It was a self-limiting issue that could only go so far. It was due for the most part because too light of bullets (158 gr.) were being pushed with too much slow-burning powder. And because ...

Until abt 1980, the only rifles I had were .30-30s. Quite adequate for deer & coyotes of Southern California. That year I was invited to replace one of a foursome who'd hunted together for several years. I was flat told that my .30-30 would be inadequate for the areas they hoped we'd be drawn fo...

It seems ever since I hit 70, even cutting carbs doesn't work. What I have noticed, since when I'm on the road, eating 2 meals a day, is that prices are way UP! Enough that what I used to budget for both meals is now only buying one. So maybe trying to save a few dollars will end up shaving a few po...

I have had a Lee Loader for the .30-30 since about 1973. Someone gave it to me, and the "who that was" is lost in the excess of information stored in the ol' noggin' and a poor filing system. But, suffice to say, before I ever accumulated enough brass (and the courage), to use it, someone ...

Call me "Whimpy". I've never liked the 44 Mag, even with factory ammo. And it didn't take me very many rounds to come to that conclusion. In the mdl 94 Winchester carbine, the factory 44 Mag ammo beat my shoulder to death, much worse than .30-30s in the same model carbine, so I typically s...

When I hunted down in Terrell County, we'd sometimes take a few for camp meat. Tough and stringy is how I remember them. The pressure cooker and crock pot could've cured that. Would love to try out that recipe.

Don't give up hope, Marlin chambered the 1894 in 41 Rem Mag with Micro-Groove rifling in both stainless (1894S) and blued (1894FG) as well as 6 groove Ballard rifling (1894CCL). Not every S or CCL was a 41 Mag, as both of those were chambered for other cartridges. They are out there.
