J.Frank,
in reference to your last question, case length does not matter. BUT, OAL of your ammo does matter because your initial timing is critical when loading shorter ammo.
Hope this helps.

BAMAKID,
I've owned about 6 model 41's since the mid 70's.
Wish I had kept a couple of them.
Ten's of thousands of rounds and none of them ever failed.
I could buy a new one thru the S&W Performance Center but I honestly think my Buckmarks will more than keep me happy.

WOW, Congratulations to both Seamus and Sue on their new family members.
Seamus, this Saturday, my daughter will open the original box with a Winchester 9422 inside. As pristine as when I bought it in April 1993....... at her birth.
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Mongo,
You will probably really like the Victory with that option.
Volquartsen is also making aftermarket barrels for the Victory, which give you even more options.
See you in the spring time... when the weather is warmer.....

25 replies, 18 powders. Seems like a pretty forgiving round!
CR
Howby CR.
Pretty much.
Available load data and components are numerous.
And because a lot of Pards own, shoot and reload for the 9mm, a lot of good info is from experience shooters.
Hope You and Yours have a Merry Christmas.

MONGO,
I've heard a couple good comments about the Victory .22 pistol. I haven't heard anything bad.
Slater and I both own Browning Buckmarks.
He has the Contour URX in both 7.25" and 5.5"
I own the Buckmark Carbon Fiber with 4.0" and the Buckmark Firld Target in 5.5"
The Buckmark is an outstanding .22 pistol.
Get into YouTube and check out all the videos on all types of .22 pistols and those videos might help you decide before you buy.

YUL,
of the semi auto pistols I am familiar, the trigger has a 'reset', which means the trigger must be relieved somewhat for the internals to function correctly for the next shot.
Please note that I did not say the trigger has to be 'released' from your finger but rather 'relieved' a little to reset the action correctly.
Some semi autos have a great reset distance while others have a short reset, like the SIG P320, which is a striker fire pistol.

Sure wish I had seen these in a more timely manner.

With some of their choices, I'm surprised they didn't rate "One Flew Over The Coo-Coo's Nest" in the top 10.

So, based on the info above, Dillon is selling those Gunslinger springs using an advertising name of Lee Fisher, which is Ringo..... although Rowdy Yates owns (or did own) the company.
Tha advertisement actually reads:
Gunslinger Spring Kits
From Lee Fisher, one of the premier "cowboy gunsmiths".
Is that ad referencing Ringo or Rowdy?

Reference: Dillon January 2017, page 54
The advertisement for Gunslinger Spring Kits list a 'premier cowboy gunsmith' with the name of Lee Fisher.
What is or WHO IS the cowboy name of Lee Fisher?
I wish Dillon had also listed the cowboy name.
Thanks

Widder you are so popular you just can't get any more so. (hint clean your inbox

I sent you a PM. Just reply to that PM and I should get it.
A Couple of Dear Johns? Maybe the girls got together.
Welcome home pard.
Actually, there were 3 of them. But, 2 of them only lived 1 block from each other. One wasn't jealous and didn't feel any competition. But the other one didn't like 'my friend' at all.
Keeping the 'hotties back home' happy was a tough job but somebody had to do it...

Its always a good idea to put cotton balls in your nostrils to help minimize the smell of burning hair...
Nose hair is another story.....

Thanks Blackwater and DTT.

On this date in 1969, I was stepping off a plane in Morocco, heading for a communications outpost on the edges of a shanty little village called Sidi Yahia.
16 Months equated to 2 Christmas's, 2 Birthdays, 1 Thanksgiving, and a couple 'Dear John' letters from High School Sweethearts who discovered greater love with a non military man.....
It still feels special to be home for Christmas!
Merry Christmas to all those who have served and those who still stand a post so that the rest of us can enjoy this Holiday..... peacefully!

Lots of good info posted.
I prefer a medium pistol powder like: unique, power pistol, Acc#5, Zip, N340, etc. especially with a cast Bullet.
I've recently tested my new 9mm 124gr polymer coated bullets with Unique. I pushed the coated bullet to 1150 fps average. With zero barrel fouling. It worked very well and things stayed clean.
Some folks want one powder for everything. I'm of the belief that different powders work better with different calibers, Bullets and speeds.
Regards,
Ringer
Good post Ringer.
But I have also experienced that some GUNS have a preference for loads, other than my pet loads. Heck, I've got 2 pistols of the same make, caliber and barrel length that give me difference results with my pet load.
The OP of this thread is getting some GREAT info to test in his pistol.

I got mine from Slick McClade.
I think they are the 12# or 13# springs.
Give him a shout and ask about them.

Marlin 1894 question
in SASS Wire
Posted · Edited by Widowmaker Hill SASS #59054
The Marlin 1894 does not have to be short stroked in order to handle the C45S cartridge, nor does a separate carrier need to be utilized.
The 'impossible' function of the Widdermajik (not Widdermatic) allows the rifle to function with the C45S, 45 Schofield and the .45 Colt cartridge lengths interchangeably.
p.s. - I have been told by a couple gunsmiths and numerous Marlin owners that the function of the WIddermajik is suppose to be impossible..... until those same folks actually operate one.
