Jay, yes, Mike Beliveau --"Duelist 54" on Youtube -- shows those loading port modifications. I'm tempted to try this as well. I had forgotten just how much punch the 1860 offered. Wonderful sixgun! Have you done anything about raising the front sights on your cap and ball Colts? I've seen...

These guns look really good. Particularly for the price. I doubt if they will stay so reasonable for very long. Agreed. I got mine on a super-sale, and it was well less than 4 c-notes! https://i.ibb.co/HK2NdVg/201-Tisas-Zig-PCS1911-Carry-22.jpg I replaced the grips with g-10 ones in a black and blu...

That seems to be the goan of the government.

This is a far cry from a government by, of and for the people.

Ageed!

Bill - I have both molds and really enjoy them. I also have EGB's dragoon mold. The heels help in loading, just like the originals, and really make using them in paper cartridges a breeze. Unfortunately a paper cartridge using the J&D bullet is darn near impossible to load in the Italian replica...

Ditto on both counts (but my cataract surgery was a few years before that)!

The swamp is using this to try to get their Ukraine funding.

Scott, I've met Chris a couple times. Seems like a real good guy, and an agent's agent. Don't know how he got to where he did given the current politics within the FBI.

Exactly!

I got mine in .44 Russian. Same reason - I already load that caliber. It is a hoot! :D And GK, it is a shame that these didn't end up in the hands of the south... other than battlefield captures, which we were famous for! :wink: https://i.ibb.co/2tPtLvg/111-Armi-Sport-1865-Spencer-Carbine-14.jpg Wh...

A couple years ago I picked up a TR Khan/Kayhan "Duo-Sys" imported by SDS Imports while in TN at Bud's Discount Guns. The system intrigued me; it was both a pump and a semi-auto. Looked like a shotgun for serious social work, and the price was right, so I picked it up. Looks intimidating, ...

Ditto!

Scott, the grip on the 97 looks like it is as large as the 1860 Army. Looks like it would be very comfortable!

Thanks Jay! I have a consecutive pair of the early 1911A1s that don't seem to be on the list. Mine have been great shooter with no issues. Lots of fun! jb 8) Tisas just came out with their version of the Springfield Prodigy. I will probably give it a whirl. I have a Sig P320, but other than that, j...

Thanks!

I would get it secured in a solid vise and soak it with some good penetrating oil like Kroil for a few days. Then take a small punch and try tapping it from the side on that broken edge as far out from the center as you can get to get it to turn. If it's still a no-go then try a little heat from a ...

I've had the opposite experience. After loading .45 Colt, .44 Magnum, .44 Special and .44 Russian for months on end, the 9mm feels dinky!

... but it is not a skills I have developed yet! So, back in 2022 I won an auction on a Smith & Wesson .38 Double Action 3rd Model. It was really stiff, but a thorough cleaning helped a lot. Only issue was that the single action stop would not hold, but it worked perfectly in double action model...

Way too young.

Prayers up for them both!

Interesting links, Grizz!

Jim, do you cast those .22-cal round balls or buy them?

Saved too! Thanks for sharing Scott!

Scott, is that a "Shockwave" or the like? I've been toying with the idea of getting one, just waiting on the right deal as I am not in a hurry. How is it to shoot?

So, who do you all like for relining?

What an awesome and thoughtful gift, Scott.

That's very nice, Jason.

I have a few .25 CP's, but not a Colt. Maybe someday. I took the kids out shooting the pocket guns a decade+ ago, and they had a ball.

Success all the way around!!!

Congrats, Ted!

Watched my grandparents go through this awful disease. My children's godfather is caring for his wonderful wife, their godmother, who has been fighting it for almost 2 decades. His patience and kindness is inspirational.

Dang, that was fast. Already out of stock.

That's how it works for me!

There is something just nostalgic about a round nose or RNFP lead bullet. It makes you feel like your are enjoying history when loading and shooting them!

I love the .44 Russian round. Just a lot of fun to load and shoot!

I hate it when I misplace anything. Drives me absolutely bonkers. Happy that you found the 10mm cylinder, Jason. I hope you find the .22 magazine soon!

Very nice, Ted!

I don't have anything older than my Grandfather... but that means Y2K has something from his Great-Grandfather.

Flattops from the fifties….both calibers in all barrel lengths…except a 10” 357……my policy on buying guns is simple…Colt, Ruger, or Smith…I can use them for a lifetime and get back 4x what I paid for them.

Texas and Gov, Abbott are in the right; Biden and the Dem's/Left (as usual) are completely wrong. It is an invasion. Texas is bearing the immediate and devastating brunt of it.
