I had the 8-3/8" 500 for some time and decided that its to long + heavy for a sidearm, so I sold it and bought the 4" version. I like the 4" better. Not much difference in recoil either. I load 330 grain acme coated plinking rounds for around .60 cents apc and my 350 grn JHP hunting loads for...

Warm weather is almost upon us, time to get a new pistol for the 2018 steel season !

I got this from a quick Google search, an answer to a guy who asked a speer rep about max velocity's for the .45 cal Unicore projos. "The 300 is loaded into the 450 Marlin to about 2400 fps and the 400 in the 458 WM to about the same." It's a tough ass projo. I've never recovered one in any of...

I had a 460 and sold it to get the 8-3/8" 500, and sold the 8-3/8" 500 and bought a 4" 500 for concealed carry. I load acme 330 grain coated for $.70 cents a round now. Thats my plinking load. My speer 325 HP hunting load calculates to $1.10 per round. Thats with new starline brass. I couldn't...

The .44 mag is a good magnum starter pistol. .50 cal is the minimum starting Dia of the "Hand cannon" designation. 500 S&W, 929, 617 Hand cannon to pea shooter.

Most hunters going to Africa on safari, bring two rifles. A flat shooting Plaines rifle and a big ass DG rifle. I was heading there this year, but family issues and other BS has screwed up the trip. My friends that have gone there for DG have used 458 + 416 cal variations, 460 weatherby, 505...

It's still here !

Presidents day bump. Send me 7 Franklin's + 1 Grant, and this fine pistol will be headed your way !

I was going to wait for the 6.5 Grendel version to arrive to get one, but I might be worm bait before that happens, so a .223 version is on the short list now after the Florida tragedy.

I sold the 8" 500 and now I'm looking for a 4" version. None of the shops in my area have a 4" version for me to buy and I'd like to give my money to support a NY gun shop, so I'm asking here if anyone knows of a shop in NY that has a used 4" S&W 500 for sale ? Thanks, SJC

Nice kill. I'm heading up this weekend to do some grouse and coyote hunting around a friends farm near Delhi. He had a calf die Saturday, so that bait pile will be a good spot to start. I went up two weeks ago, but got screwed up by the crappy weather conditions. Hopefully the weather will hold...

If you have the equipment and good brass to reload for this rifle, I would check the sizing die before loading. Back the die out a turn or two, size and chamber check the brass till the brass chambers in the rifle, then lock the die down. Load away and check back in to let us know how you made...

If there were signs of overpressure, I would agree, but look at the primer.It's not even close to being flattened and no sign of any blow back on the neck, or marks from a hard extraction from an over pressure issue. Case separation is the effect caused by thin overworked, or oversized brass.

It looks like there's some old over worked brass in the mix to me, as some of the necks are turned and those have probably been resized and loaded more than the others. In what I can see of the primer on the blown case, it doesn't look flattened or blown out, so pressure couldn't have been that...

Hello All, Looking to trade my 8" S&W 500 for a shorter barreled version. Mine has only fired 350 grain Hornady factory loads and not a lot of them. I changed the front sight to a gold bead and it'll also come with a used but good leather holster. I have the Factory front sight, box and...

Still Available !

Nothing weird about it. They teach class with striker pistols, that's what your going to learn from them. With a striker fired weapon, you have no choice but to clear it after you pull the trigger and if your only going to carry that weapon, you'd better train in that method. Almost every...

Usually if it go's click, your dead, or you have less than one second to pull the trigger again while praying your sphincter is in 100% working order ! Second strike or not, If Your weapon doesn't fire and your taking fire, your first instinct should be to head for cover and pull your backup...

In real life, there's a lot more that can go wrong when trying to tap + rack vs pulling the trigger again, especially when bullets are flying and your trying to find cover at the same time ! Not everyone has a squad to give cover fire while trying to clear a chamber. I can clear a dud in about 2...

One of the main reasons I carry a revolver for EDC, is that I don't need to worry about tapping and racking on a dud. While your trying to do that, Hopefully your not facing an assailant with a revolver ! No matter how fast you think you can do it, a second squeeze of the trigger will always...

Nobody needs a Kick Ass Pistol ready for Blasting ??????? All you need is Ammo, and this Baby is ready to play ! I just Itemized this package and I have over $1,200 into it. That's without the Comp Belt system, Holster, time spent installing the Cajun Pro Package, polishing the internals and...

"The bitterness of poor quality is remembered long after the sweetness of low price has faded from memory" , Aldo Gucci I went on the usual gun sites and found plenty of quality used shotguns for sale in your price range. I'm sure you can find something new or used in a local shop.

A 12 or 20Ga 28" O/U with chokes. Stay away from the Turkish gun's, unless you don't plan on shooting more than a couple hundred rounds a year. I prefer a 28ga, because of the weight, but I recommend you should start with a bigger gauge because of ammo availability and price. Visit a local gun...

From what I've read up on the matter, the TP9 mags will fit, but there will be a gap between the top of the mag base and magwell. However, they do make some type of spacer to take up the space, or a new mag base. The places I listed had the Model of your pistol in the description for what models...

I have one glock. I still have it, but never bought another. Got it in the late 80's before everyone had to have one. Found 10rd'ers here ; GUNmagwarehouse. com $29.99 apc E bay $33 apc Where there's a will, there's a way. Tombstone Tactical will ship Hi cap mags to NY state. So what's better...

Then you have the Mag fed bolt actions. Barrett 95, Cobb/ Bushmaster and McMillan or some type of McMillan clone. Most of these are all set up for reaching out there and have a price tag to match that. Cobb is the cheapest of the bunch and also has a left hand bolt. I like that. I've shot all of...

Next up is the production class single shot bolt rifle. Barrett 99, AR50 (My favorite) and Steyr HS.50. There are plenty of them available for sale, they are proven reliable and they are good enough out of the box to hunt & compete with at longer ranges. However, the AR50 is the only...

As your fatuation grows, Next in line price wise, would be a shell holder single shot bolt rifle. It would need to be registered and IMHO are good for comp and plinking. Reloading the rifle is a PIA in a hurried situation. I own an OLR (only long range) rifle from when they first came out. They...

The 408 cheytac and the 416 barrett need a bigger press. Once you get into the big boy calibers, Everything is on a larger scale and costs more money. The only thing that gets smaller, is your bank account ! I've owned and competed with a lot of 50bmg's over the last three decades. It's an...

I used to hunt with an AR15, but since the FUAC Act passed, I only hunt with bolt rifles. The last thing I need to be doing in the wee hours of the morning, or late at night, is dealing with an overworked DEC cop (or two) and discussing the asinine SAFE Act semi auto rifle restrictions they...

Hello All, I had high hopes of getting used to a Semi Auto to shoot steel plate matches, but I'm a wheel gunner at heart, so I'm selling my cajunized CZ P09 and everything to compete in steel challenge or other pistol games. Has an 8lb DA pull and a 3lb SA pull. I sent the barrel to a smith who...

Anyone heard anything on these Kel-Tecs ? If available and work's, I think it would be a great rifle to shoot in steel challenge and for predators too. SJC

That's a cute pup. Did it live ? We've had orphan deer and other critters adopt us, but never a coyote.

Nice pistol. As long as the FFL your using will let you convert your Banned mags to 10 rd'ers, you can have the banned mags sent to the FFL with the pistol. FFL's are allowed to posses banned magazines. I use magblocks and epoxy them into the mags with 5 min epoxy right at the shop in front of...

A Quality remote controlled E caller is a help, especially one that you can download/install different sounds into. If hunting them in the daylight, a remote controlled "Mojo" or Mover is a necessity for me. Most of the time It'll keep them focused in a direction away from your position. I...

I've got some stories that if I wasn't there, I'd never believe me too ! The best time to go out, is when you can go out. I've seen dogs at all times of the day and night, and in every weather condition too. Like Humans, their guided by their Stomachs + Genitals, and not in that order. They move...

I guess you've never heard of the Hippocratic oath. He was in need of immediate medical assistance and they turned him away. If he would've died, they wouldn't be in business anymore and I would've made sure that would've happened. He lived and is a compassionate soul, and a protector, as most...

I've seen some douchebag comments before, but this ^ takes the cake. Are you a natural idiot, or did you go to school to master it ? My friend only had a ruptured hernia, he barely made it out to his truck after they told him to leave. By law, he's not supposed to leave his sidearm in a vehicle...

My friend gave up after all the lawyers he contacted were either golf buddies of the owners, or afraid to take on the health care industry in a county that is riddled with anti gun judges. This isn't just a NY thing either, as I've read circumstances where a police chief was thrown out of one of...

I drive four hours into PA to shoot my 50cals at 1,000 yards, but that's what I'll do to support a range that has the brains to know 50 bmg and other "real" long range calibers won't go through mountains and kill the first born of every person in it's path. Plus those calibers are the only real...

"Any firearm chambered in 50 BMG or capable of producing equivalent energy is prohibited." I guess they don't allow real rifles on this range ? We finally get a long distance range in central NY and it's owner probably folded to the Fake "Energy" destruction claims about 50 Bmgs or any other...

I agree and did a quick search on the Google to compare Death counts per year in the US. The FBI’s 2015 Uniform Crime Report found that nearly three times more Americans were killed by knives or other “cutting instruments” than shot and killed by long guns. 290 OD per day on prescription drugs...

If it doesn't fire, You can pull the trigger a second time with the CZ, glock your fucked, unless your good at throwing it !

I've shot out to 3,200 yards with a very customized rifle made to shoot ELR and it's still a crap shoot. That far with a Tac 50(had one), even with match ammo, had to take a lot of rounds fired and A LOT of blind luck. You throw enough rounds in a general area, one is bound to hit something.
