wow!......... is all I can say......... I loaded 5 of these up in my taurus judge (3" barrel).........there was so much punch that when the gun kicked back the hammer kept slamming my thumb knuckle (closest to my wrist), broke skin, and almost jammed up my thumb........2 days ago and it is still sore..(boo-hoo)....I was shooting in Arizona heat (about 100 degrees) and my hands were a tad sweaty on the rubber grip. I was using 2 hands to grip ....... The hammer slamming my thumb and my firing finger remaining in the frame was what was keeping this controlled explosion from spinning out of my hand...

.....my question:

I am thinking that my revolver is a "small frame" with a 3" barrel & 2 1/2" cylinder would this be correct?..... and is this inappropriate ammunition for this gun?

any pointers on how to tame this wildness....I am thinking leather gloves to stop the perspiration and practice, practice, practice......

the 5 rounds I fired was similar to a baseball player warming up to hit by swinging 2 bats or a weighted bat...after the heavy rounds 325gr.....the standard .45 colt 250gr. felt smooth, felt like no kick
wow, i didn't think of Damage to the gun....there was a very loud , i'm going to say, Explosion... .very good point....I guess i'll save these for an emergency......or if by some chance I run across a Buffalo near my residence>>>>>:-)thank-you all for the good points!!!!!!!


I want to buy a lever action rifle but since I am only 18 I want to check that I can buy ammunition for it. So here's my question: is the Colt 45 a pistol or a rifle cartridge? Can anyone here who is under 21 speak to buying Colt 45 ammunition?


Now its kinda of weird. These lyrics are based on the perspective of a bullet PLEASE give me advice and tips thank you

N**ga manufactured 2 inches in size
We thrusted in the solitude of an internal organ
Young mu****uckers grasp a life of importance
Without care, well to a certain extent
Represent all bi**hes living in a Colt 45.
When young n**gas ride
We observe blood
And we lay in a flood of existence
And persistent we stay steady
We shipped in cartilages at a time
Created with the ability to decease
Ni**az repeat
Actions as they misuse me
No I ain't a single child
In the neighborhood we ain't revalent
Only as I imagine as heaven repents
The ammunition residence
Ok the cuss words i know lol. But besides that just look past that


The pistol I am interested in acquiring is the Thunder 5 pistol that chambers both .410 gauge and .45 long colt ammunition. I have checked that the company that manufactured the pistol, (MIL, Piney Flats, Tn.) is on the list of approved firearms. The problem that has risen is that to get the firearm shipped into the state, a ballistic fingerprinted bullet would be required that was fired by the manufacturer. However, MIL went out of business in the late 90's so I am currently unsure of how to go about getting the said fingerprinted bullet. I've asked around at the local gun store but they were unsure of how to solve this problem as well. Thank you for your time and I appreciate any feedback.


I bought a 45 cal EAA Big Bore not rated +P. I bought it for protection against black bears. If i shot +p ammo it would be in only emergency conditions. Would this be half way safe, instead of being mauled by a black bear.


I am going to buy a Hi-Point 45 ACP(automatic colt pistol) and was wondering if the 45 long colt would work in it? I will be using the gun for mostly walking around the woods and for hunting. I know i can use 230 hot loads for the 45 acp for hunting, and i also know the 45 long colt is better equipped for hunting.


How many calibers do you reload for?

Do you still buy any factory ammunition?
(Aside from rimfire)

Do you have a favorite cartridge for reloading?

Do you have a cartridge that you dread reloading?

Have you ever passed up a great deal on a firearm because you didn't have dies for it and didn't want to buy them?

My answers to my own questions, in case anyone gives a rats behind are:

7

Yes, 9mm

Yes, 45 Colt is my favorite for reloading.

No, if I did, i would sell the gun that shot it.

Yes, I passed up on a beautiful 6.5 carcano for $50 because I don't reload for it and really didn't want to buy a die set for a caliber I'd rarely use.


I am looking for bulk 100-1000 rounds of rifled slug ammunition for my handgun. If anyone can give me a site that I could find this on I would appreciate it. Also .45 Colt Lead, no brass, I want to reload to save some money, as well as a good set of Dies for this, any info will help. Thanks.
I want a more accurate round though, something that has more of a round full metal jacket. I am going to have some of my engineers here at the company design a 2 1/2 inch .45 shell with a tungsten core and pointed tip, and yes its for the Judge. Or a 2 or 2.5 oz slug shell in .410. This is for experimental purposes only and I have all the machines to build and manufacture weapons and ammo as well as the materials.


I recently purchased a Taurus Judge, .45LC/.410Shotgun, I am having trouble finding ammo that doesn't have the lead exposed. Obviously switching from the lead tips and shotgun shells I get a lot of build up and the gun gets pretty dirty as well. I was wondering if anyone could give me a website or dealer that sells Colt .45 in a Full Metal Jacket as well as other Ammo like Tungsten Core and any Specialty ammo you can't find on your typical consumers self. Thanks for your answers and I am not looking for you opinion on my gun just ammo.
You mean to tell me no one out there has any information on this?


I recently purchased a Ruger Blackhawk revolver capable of firing both ACP and Long Colt ammunition.

I purchased it for use as a side-arm for bear hunting and was wondering which ammo is recommended to use.

What are the pros and cons of the 2 different types?


Someone I know is getting their first handgun, mainly for concealed carry. I know quite a bit about guns, however, my friend is fairly new to the industry. He wants a good, reliable, semi-automatic handgun for concealed carry that is under $400.00 dollars. Therefore, I recommended the Ruger P95 9mm pistol. He loves the Colt Government .45, Glock 22/23, and a couple of the Sigs. He has never been around Rugers and they are around his price range. Would you recommend the Ruger P95, chambered for 9x19mm Luger ammunition?

Thanks for your help.





Which has more stoping power, a 1911 Colt .45 or an 1858 Reghminton .44 revolver?
This is assuming the colt is using factory ammunition, and the remington is using a conical projectile with 30 grains of fffg. Does anyone know? Thanks!
