That's what makes it such a good round. Little recoil, or blast, but solid performance. Coupled with a fine handling gun, it's a great combination. E

I had both of the revolvers shot by son in law. I was telling him about this guy up in montana, and we were discussing how i could be included in his will. We went shooting at a little place outside of prescott. We were within a mile or two where i first officially got lost rabbit hunting with my dad, and not coming back to the truck under after dark. And the educational experience i recieved shortly after. Just down the road was a place near a ranch where in the 1800's a group of yavapai killed 8 or so white people. they are doing the same thing today, but it's at the casino.

i got back the cylinder on that buckeye special 38.40 today. I had taken it in to have the throats opened up. They said it was so tight, now corrected, that they had trouble getting the pilot for the reamer in. Makes one wonder why ruger would ship a gun like that.

I was thinking of you yesterday shrapnel. In legendary guns is a little room where the regulars sit to debate the world. The walls are covered by ulberti's, and the display cases the pistols. Many many cool guns. I kept imaging what your gun vault must look like with the real deal. I was looking at one a lever octagon barrel in something like 45.110 that barrel must have been an inch or more across. I did see what looked like a new or very lightly used winchester lever in .375 winchester for about 850bucks. Which actually is i think a pretty good price.

I stop in there whenever I am in Phoenix. They do have more junk than I care to look at, but once in awhile they do get a jewel. William, Larkin, Moore has a real nice gun room, I try to get there as well as Cabelas. Last time I was there, another Campfire member offered to take me to Dillon, as he knows Mike and the crew down there. I had another appointment, so I didn't make that trip. Next time I am down, maybe.
I plan on going down again in November to drive a NASCAR. We will see how well they really run...

if your friend knows mike, i would sure say get to dillon's and you should get the grand tour of the warehouse, there is some real fascinating stuff kept in there. not just guns, but planes too. The reloading equipment thing is just one part of the business. I live only about 15minutes or so from the site.
