Hmmm...I was thinking that gun would require moonclips to use a non-rimmed case...
Please tell me the .38/.357 cylinder works!
I think the 9mm cyl has some sort of built in clips to hold the case but the cartridge still headspaces on the case mouth.
-
Remember, the 9mm has to headspace on the case mouth, not the rim (since it doesn' have a rim) like the 357. It could be the snap caps just won't seat properly in the Ruger cylinder. As Camu suggested, remove the cylinder and fill it up with actual 9mm rounds and see if they don't seat correctly.

Dude! I seriously cannot look at anymore Blackhawks or grips today! I so so bad want a Blackhawk now!
I want an Uberti Colt 1851 Navy Richards-Mason conversion in 38 Special.

He's 6'8"? Where did you find that out?
Nevermind. I see he has a FAQ on that. That's tall. And I think his son John is taller than his dad.

The patent application dates are the clue and show the progression in design rather than two parallel designs. The toggle action patent was applied for May 6, 1899. The locking breech block action patent was applied for February 6, 1900.

The guy is a great shot with any gun.
Not so surprised with slugs - I've gone through more than a few in my time with both my 12 Ga. and my 410. I don't think we ever shot more than 100 yards though. I love those perfect round holes and the power remaining.

I think he's said that he's 6'4".
What struck me about those perfect round holes is that the slug was still flying true at 230 yards--no keyholing.

Browning's first prototype for an auto loading shotgun was quite a bit different from what would eventually become the Auto-5:

Thanks.
You know, I've seen the M11 called both, but didn't realize the reason.
What was the J.C. Higgins semiauto called? I've known but am drawing a blank now.
I know what I was thinking- I was thinking of your model 20 I was commenting on a day or so ago. Thinking it and typing it.
The Model 60 was the JC Higgins autoloader, introduced in 52 or 53. Later sold as the High Standard Supermatic beginning in 60.
-
A great write up, just let me make a few minor corrections:
Remington didn't name their autoloader the Model 11 until the 1911 iteration of it. Prior to that it was simply called the "Remingting Autoloading Shotgun."
The High Standard 200 and J.C. Higgins Model 20 were pump actions, not autoloaders.

Read the reviews at Cheaper Than Dirt:

Oh shoot, why? Rossi Feeding issues?
Mainly they are for the revolver, though.
If you got 'em for the Rossi 92, 357s are probably best. For a revolver, 38s are the best--because you can use them in both 357 and 38 revolvers.

I received all the in stock stuff on Thursday. Shipping was $18.86 for this portion of the order: 5 boxes (50 rnds ea.) of 9mm,357,38 spcl ammo, ear muffs, two soft MidwayUSA pistol cases and 357 snap caps.
Should have gotten 38 Special snap caps. Now tell me why I say that.

LE trade-in??? Not sure what LE stands for.
Law Enforcement.

Browning was smart enough to not only think of the best way to make a certain gun, but to also think of every other way to do it.
Which is why T. C. Johnson had such a hard time designing the Winchester Model 1911 and why it was a disaster--it didn't even have a charging handle on the bolt!

Were those made for them by High Standard?

I really scored a jewel with this JC Higgins Model 20 pump. This was clearly a safe queen. I honestly don't think it's ever been fired. The action was a little stiff and I could tell it was from old, dried oil gumming it up so tonight I took it completely down and cleaned it. What a masterpiece on the inside with all the machined parts. Even the carrier and action bar are machined from forgings! It's amazing that just as Sears was putting this beauty on the market, Remington was bringing out the 870 with all its stamped parts to replace the 31, which was supposedly getting too expensive to make with all its machined innards.
Got it all cleaned out and reassembled and now if you press the slide release with the gun pointed up the action will fall completely open--slick as glass.

None of my guns come up with the beads stacked, even my custom fit sporting clays gun. They all come up for me with the center bead sitting inside, at the bottom of the front bead.
That's what I thought they were talking about by "stacked." The front bead is "stacked" on top of the center bead. The two together look like an "8."
-
Okay...but where did I read about stacking the beads with the front beat on top of the back bead to form an "8"?
-
That sounds like a good way to start. Take that J.C. Higgins out too. You can shoot trap, skeet, and sporting clays with it too.
The JC Higgins arrived today. What a nice gun! It's in mint condition and doesn't look like it's been used much at all. And it fits me very well; shoulders and points naturally. It's got a vent rib with two bead sights. For skeet, do you stack the beads with the target on top of the figure 8?

I believe it's a Sig P210 - here is some P210 eye candy. and a pretty good P210 site.

Yes. It's a 210: SIG's take on the pure Browning design.

Can you provide a reference for that factoid?
