Yeah, the Texas location was out west of Kerrville, a bit west of Mountain Home (really just a post office and a volunteer FD station). They (Clint and Heidi) didn't actually have ownership of the Texas location, and so they bought the Oregon property and moved there just before 2000. I was in...

Funny, I was looking at the data for this cartridge in the Lee manual this morning. It looks like a real whistler! Were there ever any factory guns turned out with this chambering? I've always been under the impression that it was a one-off, custom gun only. I'd not be surprised if Thompson...

You speak the truth, sir. First of all, the number one and number two requirements for living "in the country" are a good water supply and a good septic system, both located as far from one another as possible. And yes, the aquifers across ALL of Texas, not just in South / Central Texas, have...

More 38/357 bullet molds, this time some used ones off of eBay. I think that I have enough on order now to keep me busy literally for the rest of my life, once I get situated back into my own space. But I gotta quit looking at more molds. Need. Help. Now.

Nice. When were you out there? Pre- Clint departure or after? I'm trying to get a little sense of what T/R is like now that Clint and Heidi have moved on.

Get the chorus of Brad Paisley's "I'm gonna miss her..." ready to play. 🤣 😁 :rolleyes:

Don't you just hate it when that happens?? LOL.

I love me some P239. The grip on those things feel like they were MADE just for ME! :cool:

I have all types of presses (except an auto-indexing progressive) and I use all of them. However, when I am working up loads (handgun or rifle), running small batches (handgun or rifle), or basically exploring any new die type, etc., I find myself most often reverting back to a single stage...

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...
