You sir, are a rebel.

If you've been running the Square Deal B for a long time, do you think you will miss having the auto-indexing feature that the 550 lacks? Just asking. Also, I've read that the number one root cause of double charges on progressive presses is most often traceable to lack of auto-indexing...

All great points regarding concealed carry and dress... I agree with everyone on most of what's been stated. When carrying, one should dress appropriately for the occasion, particularly when out in public. The practitioner of concealed carry should "blend in" and not call attention to...

You probably have prettier legs than I do... 🤣 😁 :rolleyes::p

Agree with the sentiment. The only fight ever truly one is the one avoided in the first place. Living through a fight which actually occurs is merely survival, not truly "winning".

Ditto here for me. If I find that this little thing is fun to shoot and I can withstand shooting more than a few rounds through it, I'm going to start looking for info on how to improve it's action. I think that AGI has some material on the Bond specifically.

Make the Saturday Night Special Great Again! :p😅😂🤣😁 That said, there is definitely a vacuum at the "value" end of the spectrum right now. I know that inflation / tariffs / scamdemic ripple effects are driving prices of everything upward right now, including the price of guns. That's the gap...

I remember that episode! Yeah, I like and carry little guns, but I DO have standards! LOL. That said, I'll confess that I recently purchased a Bond derringer just to play with. I haven't fired it yet, but I'm certain it will get included in a range trip Real Soon Now. I can't really see...

Thanks for posting! The author's thought process parallels my own fairly closely. I agree with his choice of cartridge, 38 Special / 357 Magnum for the same reason: ease of brass recovery. If I were less picky, I'd choose 9mm and just use mixed brass. 9mm is a bit "safer" for the...

Thanks for posting this tip. I was unaware of these.

That pretty well holds true even today with all our fancy speedloaders. Going to a second gun is just plain faster than reloading. Can you imagine how fast Jerry Miculek could put 21 hits on target with THREE 686 Plus revolvers on his belt? I guess that I'm still in my Doc Holliday period if...

Yep. That's the huge danger of having a loaded cylinder outside of the revolver itself. For the cap-and-ball cylinders, the carrier could omit the caps until it was secure in the revolver. But.... There goes the speed advantage bye-bye, at least partially.

Yeah. If you want to talk specifics, my experience with those models was similar. Add together the girth of the grip and its lack of purchase for my small finger, they just have an "awkward" feel to my hand. If I'm gonna have to put up with that much abbreviation of the grip, it's gonna be in...

Don't get technical on me here.... LOL. I've seen more than one definition from what I would call authoritative sources of what constitutes a "tactical reload". In the context of this thread, it is just a cliche phrase meaning "he reloaded his revolver during a lull in the shooting", nothing...

^^^^^ THIS ^^^^^ My experience reflects yours, Pieter. Once one dips below the so-called "compact" size in pistols (or goes to an abbreviated butt flyweight revolver), an "average" size person with "average" size hands must alter their grip. Accuracy suffers as a result. Control over the gun...

K. I finally yielded to temptation and consulted IMFDB (I know, TDMTLAs), the Internet Movie Firearms Data Base. The IMFDB's official pronouncement is that in Pale Rider, the Eastwood character called Preacher carried a Remington New Army, cartridge conversion, with additional loaded conversion...

My next door neighbor has a nice elevated blind on the backside of his property and a "greenlit" spot about 75 yards away that he keeps baited most of the time. He's kind enough to allow me to occupy the blind on some nights when he's not using it himself. But those older boars are wiley...

Have mercy!! Now they are carving extra meat out of AR10 bolt faces??? Will the madness never cease??

They were waiting to hear the vehicle doors slam, engine start, and the rattles as you drove away... LOL

That's a very nice collection. Enjoy!
