cold bluing

When you post the pix, tell us what you used and what the process was. Remember, cold blue doesn't provide the rust protection that hot blueing does so put a good rust preventive coating on it.

cold bluing

I have a Stevens 87A that is a good shooter but the bluing is a little thin and in places totally gone. The gun is just not worth sending out to get reblued so I was thinking of using a cold bluing product to dress it up a bit. I have a buddy who does woodworking and he is stripping and refinishing...

Reloading the 9x18

Thanks Norm. I have Titegroup powder from loading 380 acp and used 3gn of it behind a 93gn LRN from Roger's Better Bullets and CCI 500 small pistol primers. The load was plenty hot enough to fire form the cases but 3 of the first 15 didn't go bang and 2 others I had to hit twice. I have since been t...

Wolff Springs Starting To Piss Me Off!

I remember when this forum was first started there were no Wolff springs for the P-64. It was all about scrounging and re-making springs from other guns. Mine has had a P63 hammer spring in it for 4 years. I just came back to the forum and found that you guys had pesterd Wolff enough that they final...

Reloading the 9x18

I received 1000 93gn cast lead 9mm Mak bullets from King Shooters Supply on Saturday. I received four 25# bags of #9 shot on Friday. It was all shipped via USPS Flat Rate Priority. My mail carrier is not happy with my mail order habits. I am going to reload 9mm Mak in re-sized 9mm Luger brass for th...

Reloading the 9x18

Trim the 9mm Parabellem with the .350 pilot before you size the case to .363 and you won't need a 9mm Mak pilot. After it is once trimmed, it should never need it again unless you are shooting magnum loads and even then small pistol brass doesn't elongate much. You only need the commonly availabel 9...

deep concealment!?

The pager pal is made for left hand draw or right hand draw. Depending on which you are it carrys on your off hand side resting on the top of your thigh. It bends where you bend when you sit down so it is comfortable. It is a two hand draw. Pull up and toward your strong side on the pager with your ...

deep concealment!?

I carry my P64 all day every day in a Pager Pal. It is DEEP concealment. It is not fast draw but most instances don't call for fast draw as much as they call for having it with you, not out in the car or at home in the drawer. If someone has the drop on you, there is no such thing as a fast enough d...
