Yeh, I've wasted a lot of time making and testing loads that are outside half a grain what the charts say is most accurate.

I let each rifle tell me what is most accurate. Nearly always it's starting load or just a little more.

So awhile back I bought a used Taurus 85 that had the barrel clocked to one side. Sent it off to Taurus, thinking it would be a quick fix. Anyhow, my dealer got a message back from them saying it couldn't be fixed, and I could pick out any firearm up to $514.00 MSRP to replace it, or pay the difference on any gun priced more than that. I really like my 856 and see they have an Ultra Light version with night sight and 3" barrel called the Defender with an MSRP of $526.99. So, my dealer is going to tell them to send that one. I am kind of disappointed that the 85 won't be fixed because I did like it, but at least I'm getting something that is hopefully better in return. The 3" barrel is a good compromise between the concealability of a snubnose and the easier shooting and higher velocity of a 4" K-frame size, and of course the 856 has 6 shots instead of 5. With my homebrew +P loads, it should make a good woods walking partner.

If the new taurus combat 66 gets under 500.00 I'll buy one nothing but great reviews and my local gunstore sold 2 to one customer he liked it so well
Several good reviews on YouTube for it also.

I have to have a hammer hopefully a version is released with one.

 

[FergusonTO35]

Yeah, I saw that and it looks pretty sweet. All my Taurus wheelguns have been good. The 85 I sent off was purchased used and it was accurate and reliable, just the POI didn't line up to the sights because of the barrel leaning to the right. My dealer called back and told me Taurus said the aluminum frame Ultra Light 856 Defender has been discontinued so they are going to send the regular stainless one instead.

 

[FergusonTO35]

I wonder if the 7 round 66 feels heavier than the old 6 round version. My Taurus 83 is a .38 Special built on the same frame as the 6 shot 66. It is slightly larger than a K frame, closer to L frame size but still uses K frame holsters just fine. But, it is about as heavy as I would want any holstered handgun to be, I think it weighs 37 ounces or so. I don't shoot any magnum handgun rounds so extra weight is not needed.

I finally got a vortex viper/venom/docter optics plate for my cz p10f
If anybody need to buy an optics plate for the p10 series this is excellent

Pardon Our Interruption...

I bought a cheaper plate from another company that sucked
This one is oem to CZ
I did have to very slightly relieve the front edge of the plate but the viper fits perfectly and cowitness's with the iron sights.
I'll never understand how you can buy top quality docter or rmsc footprint red dots
Somewhat reasonablely under 100 00 around the holidays or sales
but
Any RMR quality dot is 2 or 3 time's more expensive.
I've had excellent service out of sig,Bushnell, primary arms, vortex and one
Very inexpensive cyclee cat dot
My RMR's are 50.00 cvlife that don't last long but they did replace them.
My top contenders for best affordable pistols are these CZ p10F and p 10c and Arex delta m
Ruger rxm and Taurus gx4 and gx4 carry
I've been shooting a lot more recently and have had no issues at all.
They run as well as my Smiths and Glocks.

Cow print guns sold like mad at the shop I used to work at. My problem is, that looks too much like a toy or novelty instead of a deadly weapon.

S&W 67 with my Outdoorsman load. 3.6 grains Hodgdon Clays under a 156 grain lead flat point for 837 fps and very accurate.

Tight group. How far?

 

[FergusonTO35]

15 yards, that's as good as I can do with any handgun under the sun. I'll be interested to see if my accuracy improves after my carpal tunnel surgery in December.

Tisas makes excellent 1911s I have a couple and many friends have the GI standard
they've all been accurate and reliable.

 

[FergusonTO35]

We sold the hell out of Tisas 1911s at the shop I used to work at. They were way ahead of every other cheap 1911, I thought they compared well to the Taurus and lower end Springfields.

I had a early springfield loaded .45 from around 1997
I was never happy with it they were completely made in brazil back then
The frame felt like a 2x4 the grip was elongated for some reason
And it wasn't very well fit and finished
Sloppy barrel fit and eventually the 2 piece swagged barrel came apart
After buying a couple of tisas the duty and the tank commander
That were far better produced pistols
I don't shoot .45 much anymore but in several hundred rounds through both
They are very accurate and reliable.
I sold the springfield last year still have a first year 1996 Kimber custom from Clackamas Oregon back then nice pistol
Later Kimber's I didn't like.
