I always preferred Magnum small pistol primers for .38SC and 9major.

Built a couple on Caspian Hi caps. They did originally offer mags for them but they weren't in house and were expensive. So with other options available, people opted for the less expensive aftermarket mags. With no sales, Caspian dropped their mags. This is the last one I built. About 10 yrs ago. .38 SC.

I fight a hundred battles a day that no one will ever know. I don't need a woman to be my next battle. I need her to be my peace.

From the release of Night at the Opera in 1975, Freddie Mercury and Brian May performed this as a duet in ALL of their concerts. But Freddie would only sing the first line, then direct the audience, like a conductor, as they sang the first verse back to Freddie and Brian. It was a staple of their show that made the audience PART of the show. It is part of why Queen is considered the Greatest Rock Band of All Time. Now, many years after Freddie's passing Brian tours solo and you can see the crowd he draws. A stunning tribute to the Greatest Rock Vocalist of all time by one of the greatest Rock Guitarists of all time and Freddie's friend and bandmate. -

Clamp-On Compensator aka. Clampensator for 1911/2011
Dranoel replied to MuayThaiJJ's topic in 1911-style Pistols
Interesting concept. I have seen all sorts of mountings for comps. I think there are a couple clamp ons for CZs. But a 7" slide, 9" barrel and a 4" full profile comp? Yeah, I bet it reduces recoil significantly, but you'd need a 7# recoil spring to get a .45 to cycle properly. -

This is, without a doubt, the most moving rendition of our National Anthem I have ever heard. No vocal acrobatics, no melodrama, no showing off. Just sung with heartfelt pride, respect and dignity. -
This is part of the reason that I never used .38 SPL or .44SPL in my magnums. I can load Magnum brass to Special velocity. So why try to use both and get things messed up? If you have a .38 SPL revolver I can see it. But otherwise, don't bother.

Polar was a great movie with a terrific twist at the end.

Searching for a video....
Dranoel replied to Dranoel's topic in Miscellaneous Topics That Do Not Fit in Any Other Forum
The video I saw was a heads up math between just the two shooters with half a dozen or so stages. There's a part of me that swears Mickey Fowler was the pistol shooter and and Ed McGivern was shooting the revolver. But I can't find any evidence they had such a match. I really want to study the revolver shooter. He was dead on accurate with the barrel just inches above the holster. Obviously a VERY practiced index and absolutely amazing how he was as fast and accurate shooting that way with a DA revolver. -

The video appeared to be from the mid 80s and there were spectators. I've searched pistol vs revolver and every name I could think of. -

Wasn't Jerry. Wasn't Mundon. Searched for Bill Jordan, no joy. -
A few years ago I saw a video on youtube of one of the older revolver greats shooting a sort of challenge match against a more modern great shooting a 1911. The revolver shooter was firing from the hip while the 1911 shooter used a modified Weaver. It was actually a pretty close match, drawing and firing on targets at about 25 feet if I remember correctly. I really want to watch the video again and study some things. Problem is I can't remember who the shooters were and I have searched for hours using different names but can't find the video again. Anyone know or have seen the video? Can you help me with a link or the shooter's names?

A lot of people find frame mounted dots "easier to track" because it's not moving with the slide. Here's a news flash for you. You're not going to see the dot whole the gun is cycling anyway. And quite frankly, if you are, you're doing it all wrong. If you are focused on the dot transitioning to the next target you are going to overshoot the target and have to readjust. Once the shot fires I don't care where the sights go. My eyes are shifting to the next target and I bring the sights to my visual focus on the target. Believe it or not, if you have mastered your index, your body can FAR more easily stop your, gun with the sights aligned, on the target. Try this: Hold your arm out straight and point to something on the wall. Then track your finger to a chosen point on the opposite wall. Now do the same drill again but ignore where your finger is an visually acquire the second target as you turn. I'm betting the second way is quicker for you. And it is no different with a gun. Hardest part is mastering your index, which you should have done by now anyway.
