Good point Ellis. I fell into the Kimber because I wanted a 1911 GI model that went well with the M1 and M1A. Bought it when you could touch handguns, cause they weren't available. Local guy had it, for not much more than the GI, and had all the extras already done.
Usually carry it hunting, or its tucked between the seats in the dually. Still looking for a smaller one to carry daily

[dazedandconfused]

I want the hammerless 38 to carry on my person since its small enough to conceal easy and something to keep in the truck or carry when we are riding pur ATV's. I'm still looking right now.

Lol Ellis, my Kimber was a gift. I print anything but a derringer, so i may as well carry what I'm comfortable with. When I carry.

I'm 5'9" and 218lbs.....what's that tell you I sweat like a hog in the summer and sweat when it's above 50* so I know what'll happen.

[PToombs]

Ok, so you admit you're a sweathog!

I sweat like a hog in the summer and sweat when it's above 50* so I know what'll happen.

Hogs don't sweat I feel ya though. Spring and fall I spend a lot of time rolling in the dirt. It's hay all summer. I don't want to subject a precise device to that.

I hear you Andy. Get a stainless and then you don't have to worry about schit but mud packing it. If I were to look for a revolver to carry it would be something like that.

This is a pic of what I like to shoot...and shoot the often. I'd snap a pic of the 9mm millinium but it's in the chevy

H&R sidekick 22lr (white plastic grips)
Ruger P89 9mm (stainless slide/silver body)
Walther P22 (small black/twin to the wife's)
Taurus 24/7 G2 da/as/ds 45acp (big bulky black)
Uberti 45colt sa (old school/for when I feel like playing Cowboys and Indians)
And last but not least
The judge (big silver snake/bad guy/dog killer)

It rides in the dodge or on the tractor. This one time in Mobile Alabama I was in a traffic jam and some bums were circling like buzzards with squirt bottles of nasty water and filthy news papers cleaning glass....trying to make a living is one thing but they were leaning on people's cars and shouting obscenities when told to go on. I wasn't having them talk like that around my kid (the girl was in there) so I whipped that thing out and plopped it on the dash...I swear the bumm coming toward the truck levitated for a second and spun around

Sure do,come visit during the summer and you'll be the same

[dazedandconfused]

Ellis isn't this the same one you have there? I've had it book marked too but I've heard mixed reviews on it.

Almost it's twin. My mags are different and my gun has that second strike junk....where if it doesn't Fire the first time,pull the trigger again with out having to rack the slide again. That feature is helpful if your using some steel cased junker ammo...I dont,I roll my own.
Most gripes I've heard on it is its double action pull feels like the trigger moves a mile before the bang. Those folks never bothered to read the owners manual....it's on the Taurus web site. To disable the d/a function,you hold the trigger WHILE rack the slide,it goes straight to s/a.
One thing I will add.....the grip is pretty lame,it needs some rubber to help your hands get traction. I had to use the biggest back strap just to get it comfortable to shoot.
It's never failed to fire a thing I've feed it. Reloads or factory.

[ellis93]

Good thing about that 357 is you can fire everything 38 or 357.

[dazedandconfused]

Its more in my price range so I'll have to look into it. The revolver looks like it will be a nice smaller carry weapon.

[DMan1198]

Man I wish Canada had decent gun laws for pistols. Sop was the first time I'd held one, and I've still never fired one. One day I guess

[ellis93]

Next time you run across the U.S. come on out to Ms,we'll remidy that never shot one thing over a few hundred rounds. Easy to burn ammo when you cast your own bullets and load.

[matthewh]

Ellis, do you run cast bullets threw your auto's? Always heard they were finicky about that, especially the 1911's?

[ellis93]

Yes but the lead bullet is powder coated. Kinda like a jacket.
This is some 9mm that I did using a shake and back method with harbor freight powder

Some 45

Usually lube them tho. Pan lube them and cut them out


A pic of a couple of fired next to some that have been lubed and sized,ready for loading.

I prefer to use the lubed bullets In my revolvers because the lube makes them smoke. Revolvers are easier to clean than an autoloAder. I have shot them thru the semi tho....no problems. I did have to buy a round nose mold for the 45acp tho,the feed ramps don't like flat nosed bullets.
