Wes Terner SASS#36 life Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I know I’m probably not going to get very much, if any response, but I thought I would give it a try! I have a first generation Colt 1900’s plus that I really would like to shoot a couple of times Thanks for the consideration Wes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cusz M. Dutch SASS Life 55326 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 If offered, do not pass on 44/40 brass... but I am sure you already know that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fort Reno Kid Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Howdy Pard I too have a 1st Generation Colt SAA and it’s a prized possession. Shoots better than I do. Checked my stash for empties but, in a fit of energy during the chicom lockdown, I loaded ‘em all. Will reaffirm guidance from other Pards to consider 44-40 brass, which is usually in better supply. Lube it and run it thru a 38-40 full-length sizing die and … Ta Dah! … you have perfectly suitable brass for your pistol. Won’t have the right head stamp but shouldn’t be a concern. A lot of my 38-40 ammo, acquired here and there over multiple decades, has 44-40 head stamps. Two final thots: 1. Keep posting WTB’s and you’ll likely get some offers 2. Haunt the gun shows. Seems as if there’re always some guy(s) with odds and ends of brass to sell. Best of luck gettin’ that old shootin’ iron back in the game.

Sgt Duncan Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Sacramento Johnson just posted he had 100 new 38-40 cases for sale here on the wire but it’s Winchester, not Starline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had an order of 500 38-40 cases pending with Starline since July as well. When I read this, I immediately called them and mentioned the 10-day turn time. I told the lady who answered the phone that I just wanted to make sure my order hadn't fallen through the cracks. She said they have had no 38-40 brass to ship and have not even done a manufacturing run of 38-40 in quite a long time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Quien sabe.
