The beltman belts are excellent I have two myself. I also have a few Kramer holsters. I got both of the guns at the gun show a few weeks ago.

Old Pa, I would like to load lead bullets but there are very few outdoor ranges in Northern Virginia and I can't shoot lead at the indoor range at which I am a member.

You might consider plated bullets which fall somewhere between hard cast lead and jacketed bullets in hardness and perceived recoil. Having your revolver forcing cones lengthened will help with any bullets. BTW Merry Christmas.

Actually, guns are my first love. Sometimes, I just need to temper that side of myself with some nice Degas paintings and a little music, wine. Let's enjoy all life has to offer.

I have some Berry's plated for .357 and .45 and was thinking of getting them for the .41. I was actually thinking of sending the Blackhawk .41 sent to Bowen for the basic issue package consisting of:

No. RS01 ‘Standard Issue’ Applicable to all Ruger single-action revolvers, our most basic package contains the essentials to good shooting and dependability:

· trigger tune; reassembly with Loc-tite to keep screws tight

· BCA oversize locking base pin installed

· forcing cone checked and recut, if necessary

· BCA Rough Country adjustable rear sight installed

I would like to go all out but I am thinking about getting a .44 Special for a true custom.

Have a great Christmas.

That sounds like a great package, improving on both sights and trigger. They'll probably check the timing when they install the oversize locking base pin and what else do you really need?

Today I traded my un-fired Glock 26 for an used Glock 19 and 10 boxes of 20 rounds each in 7.62 by 39 for my SKS. In addition to the two 15 round each clips he gave me two 10 round clips. I will take a picture later and post it here. Both the 26 and the 19 were 2nd generation Glocks.

This one has been stagnant for a while so I think I will show the new additions to my H&K collection. I picked up a P7M8 in box w/manual plus 8 mags and a USP45c with 4 mags for less than a grand. The P7 has some finish wear but mechanically it is awesome. Now my big decision is whether I send the P7 to Ford's refinishing for a hard chrome finish and some nice Nils wood grips or send it to Robars for the NP3 treatment. I think the Hard Chrome looks better but the NP3 is amazing for cleaning and upkeep.

Good Deal on the H+K's. I have the P7 M8 and really like it.

Try Lightning Arms for some Matt Del Fatti leather.

HK USP 45 is my favorite handgun - even above my many Sigs.

Its funny, I have owned hundreds of pistols in my life but I have never owned a Sig. I really want a 220 SAO so it will probably be my first.

I agree that it is a great gun, that is why this one is joining the matching pair that are already sitting in my safe.

Del Fatti has some fantastic leather for the P7, I had never seen any of his stuff, thanks.
