I am extremely good with trigger, muzzle pointing, etc. discipline even if I do immodestly say so myself. And nothing goes in the cargo pocket with the EDC. And although I felt 99+% confident already it is nice to hear affirmations. Not sure when this may happen but if/when I will do it feeling...
My numbers are 19c a round if no brass included, $9.50/bx. That's with an MBC 125gr. RN coated round. Costs can go up six ways to Sunday with different component choices. But figuring $10/bx isn't unreasonable at all. A complete loading bench can be put together for no more than a few hundred...
You can set up a quite good loading system for hundreds in equipment. Thousands if you want to spend it of course, but Lee through Midway can set up a bench for less than $1000. Components will up that of course, but not by a fortune unless one wants it to be.
Mika makes the best pocket holster available. I have them for the 3 Rugers. The two .357 share the same one, the smaller SP101 has its own. Never a problem in a baker's dozen years carrying this way with tears or wearing through. So hopefully the trend would continue. Just want to be comfortable...
Cargo pockets. Current EDC is:
2.5" SS .357 GP100
2.75" HC .357 Speed-Six
3" SS .327 SP101
And in prior times a Glock 48. So large guns aren't a problem. So long as they are safe.
I haven't carried condition one in a quarter century or so and then it was a 1911 with thumb safety and grip safety. To confirm what I think I see, the SA-35 has just the thumb safety? Back then I carried in a belt holster. Now I pocket carry. Thoughts on pocket carry of an SA-35? And on Buffalo...
I may get a .357 lever one of these days. Or go totally insane and get a .327 lever. I'll shoot either .38s or .32s if I do. Nice report. Are you going to try any .38s in either one and if so do you know which load(s)?
Just ordered 3# VV powder. Free hazmat day. Precision Reloading. Still wondering if I did the right thing shipping it. Could have saved $15.73 if I drove to S.D. and picked it up. :unsure: :rolleyes:
I will probably get one later this year. Getting over the IRS hit now. Can't really go wrong at that OTD price. Have to reload for it to be cost effective. But should be a lot of fun.
I like them, especially if the right panel is the more true representation. Badger might make a grip without grooves. They offer that as an option on some of their other Ruger offerings. GLWYS
Well, anyone would be insane to not say at least 1935 to include the Browning. But then they'd be insane to not say 1911 to include the 1911. But they absolutely should say back to 1907 as the Savage pistol is an excellent pistol. And you have to go back to 1903 to include the Colt pocket...
The magnum wins singly, a 125gr at up to 1550fps with the right powder to the SIGs 124gr at 1300. But the magnum uses 20gr powder to do it vs. the SIG using 10gr. And cumulatively the SIG has double the capacity, and sometimes a bit more, between easier and quicker (for most people) reloads.
Pretty on target until the .44 which I'm sure is more than .22 shorts. Maybe which is like shooting standard pressure .38 from medium frame revolvers. Definitely less than anything magnum, but not basically nothing I suspect.
