I am considering taking up Cowboy Mounted Shooting. I see that the Ruger Montado is designed specifically for the sport. I have always had a problem however with being able to reach the hammer on Rugers for fast follow up shots. Can anyone tell me about the grip frame and hammer angle on the Montado. I find my best for my hand is a FA 97 with a round butt.

real ivory is not only valuable, but can be fragile, depending on the age and moisture content. You might just end up with pieces of ivory. If not when you carve them then maybe when you shoot with them.

What is the COL and crimp to nose length that can be loaded for the shorter cylinder of the FA 97 in 45 Colt? I am looking to develop a load using a true "Keith" bullet. Second question is does anyone know of a source for good "Keith" bullets that are true to the original design and can be loaded for the Model 97? Thank you for your help.

Last year while bird hunting I saw a group hunting hogs from a chopper over near Matador TX. Ran into a couple of the group later. One guy was using a SAW, a couple had full auto AR's. I think they were 308's and they said one of their group was also using a Thompson. I doubt you could have removed their smiles with TnT while we were talking about it.

It is the 340 PD. It is rated for 357, but at 11 ounces I have only shot a few 357's from this featherweight hand cannon. I picked the 340 PD for several reasons. I wanted something extremely light, I liked the fiber optic front sight and I wanted a shrouded hammer.

Thanks for the suggestions. I have decided to go with the parallel method for sighting the laser. I like the idea of knowing it will always be in the same place relative to the bore. I will look at the Buffalo Bore 44 special loads. I already use the CorBon DPX in all my CCW guns.
38 plus p in my J frame 357 44 special in my 386 NG 45 Colt DPX in my FA 97 45 ACP PPX in my Kimber Ultra CDP II and now probably 44 special DPX in my 329 NG

Picked up a new 329 NG today and had a set of CT laser grips installed as well. I am looking forward to getting it sighted in tomorrow. I will run a box or two of 44 mags through it, but I am pretty sure I will carry it with CorBon DPX 44 specials. I am guessing at 29 ounces it will be tough to get follow up shots with full mag loads. What say ye? I really like these Night Guard Smiths. Now if they would just offer a Night Guard in 45 Colt, I would be a real happy camper. I would like to hear any thoughts on sighting in the laser grips. There seems to be two schools of thought on this. One school, and Crimson Trace suggests you set it to exactly match the point of impact at a given range, like say 20 yards. A second school says to determine the exact measurements of down and right between the tip of the laser and the center of the bore. Then set the laser to be offset by that same amount at say 20 yards. The idea is that the laser will be off target by that same small amount a long way out, instead of the point of impact meeting and crossing over out past 20 yards. Anyone have any comments one way or the other?

I am offering a new service. "Pre-Holed" targets. You simply answer a few questions regarding number of rounds you intend to fire, the caliber you will be using, the distance you plan to shoot and your estimated current skill level and then I will send you targets with the holes already in them in a group size appropriate to your shooting expertise. If you purchase a subscription and let me know how often you intend to practice I will send you a regular supply of targets with the proper shrinking of groups to reflect your improvements.

FILL THE CASE TO THE BASE OF THE BULLET WITH TRAIL BOSS AND ENJOY 800-900 FPS. John, How sensitive is Trail Boss to barrel length? Thanks

I also own several sets of buffalo horn grips. Mine came from Eagle Grips. Raj, the owner of Eagle Grips told me to use mineral or baby oil on them a few times a year to keep them from cracking or warping.

I am thinking the ultimate home defense would be the "Supreme Court version of the Judge with 12 gauge slugs. I am guessing you could really call it one shot stops! On both ends maybe!

Listened to Tom G on Guntalk today and he was interviewing the president of Taurus. It seems they are working with Winchester and are doing a combination of the 825 and a 12 gauge just like a Judge on steroids. They are going to market it as "The Supreme Court" ;D

I hear there is going to be a lever action in this caliber and someone has a replacement AR upper in this caliber as well.
