After hearing pro comments off and on for a while about this I PM'd Rick last night and asked if he would consider starting a Handgun Reloading forum. His answer:

Quote
Sure would. Let's float the idea and see what the reaction is.


So there it is. If y'all want one let's hear it. Posting this in Campfire, Handguns and BGR Reloading to catch everybody.

Why would you restrict it to handguns? It should be a Reloading Forum, then if you wanted a sub-forum for Handguns and a sub-forum for Rifles, fine.

There is already a reloading forum for rifles.

Uhh.......


Guess you don't look at the main forum menu much?





Shootem, I'm all for it, I see quite a few posts in the other reloading forums with handgun questions.

I'm another who would like to see a handgun reloading forum!

Always wondered why there was a rifle forum and no handgun forum.

That's the way it's set up now. There's just not a sub for Handguns

Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

Rehabilitation is way overrated.

As long as they allow discussions about whether to use the slide stop slide release, power stroke or sling shot your slide after reloading your handgun, I'm good with it.

No, there is a reloading forum for "Big Game Rifles" and "Varmint Rifles". Just plain stupid. What, no "Target Rifles", "Plinking Rifles", and "Tactical Rifles"? Make it simple: "Rifles" and "Handguns".

i think he made a mistake, he was probably meaning to say his swinging the cylinder shut on a ruger revolver. Nothing can hurt a ruger.

I don't come on the 'fire as much anymore, tired of it [bleep] up my computer. But I've long wished for a handgun sub-forum under the reloading doohickey.

+1. All it will do is take away from the handgun forum.

I'm good with whatever happens, but I always thought this was the handgun reloading forum.

+1. The handgun reloading discussions fit in this Forum well. I wouldn't favor starting a new Forum.

I just went through this thread on all three forums it was posted on. I came up with:

74 For, 19 Against

Tried to only count one response per poster in each forum. I may be a few off but it's pretty obvious that there is overwhelming support for a separate handgun reloading forum.

Rick?
