He's a good guy....and a BIG mutha too!

An original nickel Smith has an "N" stamped on the gripframe. I can tell you that I'm unaware of any factory nickel 1917s. A refinish will affect the value greatly, and it's value will be only what it's worth as a shooter.

Everyone vote their conscience instaed of voting for who you think has a chance of winning. Also, spend a bit if time educating your friends, family, and co workers about our form of government, the constitution, and the true role of the federal government. Just about everyone I've discussed these things with has been totally unaware of the contents of our constitution. Most seemed at least somewhat interested in learning.

It would be five for a true Single Action Army, as they are carried on an empty cylinder. This doesn't look all that slow to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Vl9FniemlE&feature=related

I don't see cocking a hammer being any slower than clicking off a safety. Both can be done while presenting the gun.

Why, don't be so hard on Mr. Alexander. He IS a Republican after all. At least he isn't a Democrat......I keep telling you guys; there isn't a nickel's difference in them. You'll see in November.

I really enjoyed your website, and look forward to seeing new additions to it. Keep up the great work.

I don't reload a 32 Long, but I do load for 32-20. It can be done very inexpensively, as long as you take care of your brass. As I have a 32 Long Smith and Wesson J frame, I may get a set of dies for it someday. It shoots great, and is indeed a fun little gun to plink with.

$14.99 is a heck of a deal in comparison to any I've seen lately. I was guessing $24.99.

It says sold out. I guess so. The picture is of a 50 round box! Not the 20 I was expecting. I'll bet it was a misprint.

Seriously? A Rossi is a good gun, but a Smith and Wesson won't hold up? Where did you hear this? There was a problem; I believe reported much more often than happened, with the Model 19 K frames. The 110 and 125 grain screamers, after a while, were occasionally cracking forcing cones. They worked fine with heavier projectiles. An L or N frame Smith in 357 will shoot anything you put in it, and more than you'll ever care to buy or load. Heck, Smith and Wesson was the FIRST gun chambered for the 357 Mag. Jerry Miculek isn't shooting a Rossi.

No sir. Just curious.

My brother in law has a backhoe in case you decide on a moat rather than a fence.

I wouldn't personally own anything camoflauge, but anyone who's ever bought me a gift seems to think since I'm a gun guy, and deer hunt, that something; ANYTHING camo would make the perfect gift. Now, if you need a wallet, and have one laying around someone gave you, would you use it, or trash it and go out and buy another one in a different color?

So, how do you guys feel about compound bows? Mechanical releases?

The bullet puller is like an eraser on a pencil for the reloader.

This is right. I haven't been there in a while, but surprisingly, the Wal Mart in Rivergate always seemed to have more ammo than any other in the area. I don't know if that is still the case. The bad part is you probably need plenty of ammo for your gun BEFORE entering the Wal Mart at Rivergate.

If you really want the revolver experience, pick up an old Colt or older Smith and Wesson.

I saw a fellow shoot a clover leaf with an older one once; prone, at 100 yards. I do not know what he'd done to it, but I do intend to find out next time I see him. A Mini CAN be made to shoot. I've improved mine a lot already with a trigger job and retorqueing the gas block screws. I intend to lap the gas block to the barrel and bed the action at some point. Right now, I'd like to see how well it'll do without any further mods.

Yes sir. 100 yards.

I'm down to about a two inch group with my mini loading Sierra 55 grain SPBTs. I understand I may not get much better than that until I bed the action. I would appreciate any guidance in what to try loading next. I believe the Ranch Rifle I have has a 1 in 9 twist barrel. Should I go up to a 60 or 62 grain bullet, or a 52gr next?

Dixie Gun Works is well worth a trip to see in person.

I do not have any scientific evidence to back my opinion, just hearsay and experience.

Liquor ages in wooden barrels. once it is bottled, ageing stops. As far as I am aware, it should taste exactly as it did when it was put into the bottle.

No, I wouldn't say that. They both wear parts eventually. Racking the slide, installing and removing magazines, and just general screwing around with them probably results in more wear than either firing or cleaning. I do still say that tearing down, cleaning, and putting back together DOES contribute to wear and tear. No, but I dang sure don't dissassemble and clean them each time I mow, or drive into town.
