Re: Any other tangfolio TA90 owners ?

Part of the problem with the "hard" racking is the narrowness of the slide. Less meat to grab onto and it's tapered, which leads to your fingers wanting to slide off/up. If you cock the hammer, it reduces the effort a fair bit. I've conversion top ends for most of the pistol calibers, and ...

Re: CCML Night Match 16-12-2023

Great match, got to break in some rifles and pop the cherry on a new to me glockish 9mm. Four full stages plus rifle targets and the after shoot "party" was complete with cigars, hot chocolate and lots of good convo! Thanks to all who attended!

CCML Night Match 16-12-2023

Ah, December!  Finally, long pants and jackets weather!  Might want to think about shooting the match from concealment.  Pockets will help keep your hands warm, as well!  Anywho, usual plate rack and rifle targets, some paper for accuracy drills, a modified El Pres  and large and small steel at 25, ...

Re: .500sw loaders is this enough crimp ?

jbone, the Redding crimp was designed to give a heavy crimp for heavy recoiling revolvers. It combined the squeezing of a taper crimp with the rolling in of a rolled crimp. Even Dillon used to carry it, for those reasons. Been out a long time.... My .454 Casull loads used to launch a 300 grain gas c...

Re: .500sw loaders is this enough crimp ?

Looks good. Redding crimp? Combination of a roll crimp and taper. Worked well for all my .454 Casull loads. Send it and check. HTH's

Re: Weird gun problems

Yep, manufacture. Whether they forgot to install a gas tube or stuffed one in and forgot to pin it, jury is still out. I did not check inside the chamber to see if a tube was present. Left that to the owner....

Re: Ruger set screws

Heat. Large soldering iron tip on the screws. You can try Kroil or 50/50 Acetone/ATF but heat usually works best. Good luck! Oh, and try tapping on the screws as you turn. HTH

Re: Going into debt to buy ammo :) Time to reload.

I've been reloading for over 50 years. Started small, acquired more as time went on, got into casting wayy back when. Have what I need to last me for the rest of my life and my kids life, if I could get them interested and they lived near me. That said, I'm currently shooting mostly factory 9mm. Bou...

Re: "Banana Republic" vest

Any vest that looks like the "life jacket" from Back to the Future. Or, if you're looking for the working man vibe, a conspicuity vest. Or a cowboy vest or just an untucked shirt.

Weird gun problems

At our Saturday night match, we had a new to us shooter with his branddy new AR-10ish .308. I get called over to DX a problem, i.e., single shot semi auto. Picked it up and looked at the FSB, a low profile type, thinking perhaps it had the gas turned down/off, when my eye fixates on the hole in the ...
