tahqua- was the shroud installed at the factory? I can image the recoil without the grips.

45t-- a 45-70 shooter that doesn't cast? ---   that's uncanny.

Yep, that's a factory shroud. BTW, I like your daily theme and it looks like the camera is coming out today.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the week here.

Have several 29's....used them all for hunting deer/hogs in Texas.  Have a 629 Classic w/6.5" barrel w/2X Leupold that I use the most for hunting.....keep most shots under 60 yds.  My carry 29 is an old model 4" barrel w/factory action job.....it outshoots my 629 VComp from the S & W Performance Center.

Current concealed carry is Kahr PM9 in a basic Uncle Mikes.

Open carry is SW686 with first round bird shot during grouse season, followed by 5 180gr hardcast.

Thinking of trading the Kahr for an airweight bobtail.

Nice piece!! 

 

How do you like the Sparks holster?

They are mentioned in VERY high regard on gun forums.

It is very well made and stable as a rock. It is not as attractive as my Alessi's but for an IWB it doesn't mean a whole lot. Tony Kanaley at Milt Sparks made me an SS for a P-38 years ago when nobody else would or could. I will get more of his leather in the future. I have been aquiring Lou Alessi's holsters lately and recommend them, also.

Chris- have to take that back about getting you a serious caliber. How are you liking the GAP so far?

 

Wed.  Glock 38 GAP WW silver tips- homemade holster-- love the mod. 38 one round shorter than combat commander holds 10 rounds same barrel length-- same width, uses same reloading dies - small pistol primers,

I also removed the front trigger guard finger hook. (should have taken the pict. at a different angle). 3000 rds so far with no complaints. El Pres. times just a bit longer from concealed than commander types.

I use the standard Galco concealable belt holster.  To answer your question about loads in an earlier post, I haven't settled on a confidence load yet.  I do 100X more rifle shooting than pistol shooting, so I haven't done a lot of experimentation.  I had a bunch of Federal 230gr. Hydra-Shocks sitting around that I've had for years and they shoot pretty well in the gun, but I understand there are perhaps better choices now.  Any suggestions?

I'm ok with 200 gr SWC cast-- but heres a good way to tell-- As expected lighter guns are harder to hold, when double tapping-- to lighter bullets-- the trick is to keep the power factor around 180. The "split" or time it takes to get the shot off should be around .2 of a second and no more than 1 inch apart. If greater the shooter is fighting the gun for control.

 

Thurs.  38 SW Airweight ,  ankle holster, hogue grips, and 66 gr hollow core, not hollow pt, solid copper at 1400 fps from a 2 " barrel. This type of load allows for quick doubles and fast backup shots.

 

Look at the new Powerball -- good stuff.

Never in over 25 years of shooting it. I have friends and family that have been bitten by theirs and it hurts. They get it across the base of the thumb.
G20 is about my favorite carry gun. I like KISS when in comes to something like a pistol.

Carry? Here in Cali?  Nah, here in the golden state we only allow criminals to walk around armed.

On rare occasions when I can carry (like at a campground), I typically have a Sig P220 in a simple Fobus paddle holster.

I am considering getting a Kahr P9 though.  That's about the biggest gun I can comfortably put into my pocket.

Nickel with jeweled trigger and hammer. I traded a Suzuki 185 dirt bike for it in1979. It has been slicked up and shoots like charm. I've shot tons of .38 through it. It was my PPC gun for a few years. Back then they didn't like my BHP on the line. Flying brass could kill someone. Now I only load the heavy hitters for it.

That's a nice set up on that 41. What is your ammo of choice and is yours particular about what you feed it?
