He loves shooting lever actions. That boy has a real future ahead of him!!

Sell me yours. Cheap. Yeah I'm searching for a bull barrel.

I agree.

Thanks - glad I watched that. Man has much wisdom.

I think mine are too. The snap caps were throwing me off. Ammo does vary between brands, but the counterbores appear equal - if they vary, it's not much.

That's what I was thinking. The 44 mag is brass and are nice, so it's a deal. I have some more ammo on the way. I have a nice stash cache. I'm ready too shoot, come on spring! I didn't get to the indoor range today, because SWMBO was sick so I had kid duties. Crud - back to work tomorrow.

I could have my 357 levergun barrel bored to accept that as well!!!

Thanks. When I start looking at 40's this one will be on the list.

Wow - I just learned a bunch. Still glad I got the refurb Sig (good mags are over $50!!), but still mighty tempting. I'm sticking with semi-auto .22LR as my next gun, however I will keep my eyes on the HK P7. Thanks.

That what I was thinking too. Maybe I can split it with a guy at work or something. Thing with me is, I always want to try some different ammo, so I may get bored with the stuff.

That would be an awesome pistol round. I'd need a scope!!

Whacking it down with a small hatchet, no doubt.

http://www.ammunitiontogo.com/product_in...me/9mm-fmj-ammo Just curious.

Quote:I doubt they use a longer cylinder with the 9mm because some get their 9mm cylinder rechambered to wildcat cartridges like the 357/44 B&D (44 Mag necked to 357) and it's a simple rechambering job. Would you please stop putting these illicit ideas in my head.

First the good news this AM. I decided to put the 9mm cylinder back in the gun, and put live ammo in - guess what? Winchester, American Eagle and MagTech allow the cylinder to spin freely. Just those blasted Snap Caps vary and stick up enough to cause hassles. I guess there is no bad news! Quote:Are the cases sticking out farther than the extractor groove? Not on the live ammo. Sure, some stick out more, but I can't see the groove. On the Snap Caps, for sure and it varies from Snap cap to Snap cap. Kinda irritating.

Hmm....she must be on vacation. I hope I get my grips.

The good news is the low cost Magtech ammo fits very well. It has the shortest case. It may be very well that the Snap Caps are generally machined to maximum material condition. And some commercial 9mm rounds have cases on the larger side of the specification - yeah same thing max material. The 9mm snap caps cycle very well in the Sig.

Nope. No half-moon clips. As I stated the case mouth simply rests on the counterbore. Worst case scenario I can only use some 9mm ammo in this gun. The 357 cylinder works like a champ.

I have the cylinder out and I have three types of ammo and the snap caps. The 3 live rounds are different brands. I tried a mess of combinations. I wish I had an adequate depth gauge. Let me try and be brief - select the longest case live round or the longest snap cap. Let's test all six positions. In one position the round fits all the way in, next up a little, next up quite a bit, next all the way in, etc....

http://www.esmeralda.cc/rugergrips.htm SN#9437 OK here's the deal. The 9mm cylinder is counterbored so the 9mm case rests on the counterbore. Yes the snap caps vary, and guess what - the conterbore depth varies. Not good. I guess I will call Ruger tomorrow.

I cleaned off the shipping oils and checked the revolver out today. Everything seemed really sweet. As I said before, a nicely balanced gun. I put the 357 snap caps in and practiced a bit. BTW, the manual saying this gun can be dry fired with no problem. So then I put the 9mm cylinder in. Not the quickest thing, but not so bad. I put the 9mm snap caps in and....well...the cylinder would not rotate. I need to investigate further, but it's like the problem is the snap cap itself......they stick up and the primer end on SOME interfere......

I order a pair from her. No response from her whatsoever yet......
