What a perfect topic for me. I am just beginning to dry fire and was wondering about such things.

I had not read the book and really did not want to see the movie but a friend dragged me there. I am so glad. I really enjoyed it. The girl is "out there" but that works perfectly well in my opinion. I definitely think this movie should win some awards.

#1 lesson...I don't have to have all perfect shots although I want to. There's fun in going faster as long as I don't crash and burn. For those not up in the M Class (as I am not) you have to push and see your limits and challenge those limits ever so often.

Looks like it is time for me to get the book and then to get with it.

Now that makes sense....the making the brass more brittle. Thanks for that answer.

Okay guys, I too had heard that brass holds up longer than nickel but I was also told the nickel is a coating over the brass so that does not make sense to me. I do know that I have had old nickel brass that begins showing the gold color. Please educate me as to what this is all about. Nenette McHenry

BE, I think the way you worded it is great. If I were to alter it I might way "Keep your focus on the sights"

Does the brass cleaning toothbrush leave marks and if so does that cause any problems?

Sorry but I don't know my parts well enough to say what I mean. I have stainless revolvers and the area where the barrel meets the frame and sticks out a little where the cylinder lines up with is all cruddy looking. What is a good way to get in there and clean that area?

soaring22, Yes, my guns have been tuned but I really appreciated your response.

Hi, I have some SASS New Vaqueros which, after about 10,000 rounds each of live fire and perhaps 1,500 rounds on each of dry fire, seem to have the hammer sticking once in awhile. Seems perhaps one out of 10 or 15 times one I drop the hammer it hesitates. I do slip hammer these pistols and until now have had no problem. Do you think it could be springs or what?

That is so cool.

The earlier they are told the better but at least, before they leave, if you can privately tell them you enjoyed shooting with them but that they may want to be careful (and explain about what) in the future so they are not unsafe and don't get DQued.

Welcome to the board. Sounds like you have a nice stash of guns.

Joe4D. How well does that stall matting hold up? I like the idea. How hsrd is it to get off and replace?
