MY backup choice on duty: American Derringer with '45-70(Spanish American Trapdoor Springfield military round) round -top; and .410 shotgun- lower barrel. Unfortunately considered illegal in CA as under 18" barrel 'sawed-off shotgun'

I still shoot an original 1876 Trapdoor Springfield too. Still the loudest thing at the range!!!

MadMike · 10-12-21, 02:51 PM

I have about a dozen weapons I need to take to the range and sight in (ranging from matchlocks, flinters, percussion, a PSA PA-10, and a 2" bore swivel cannon. Local range is indoors, limited to 25 yds (no black powder weapons, and nothing over .308). Need to move back to South Dakota and Montana.

Yours, &c.

So not sawed off equals sawed off which would piss me off and want me to say sod off....

Hodgdon is closing down their GOEX black powder manufacturing plant

Quote:

On Jan. 1, 2009, GOEX was purchased by Hodgdon Powder Company, which touted its philosophy of, "We are here today. We were here yesterday. We will be here tomorrow." Hodgdon spent years updating equipment at the Minden facility, enhancing employee safety and blackpowder quality.

Despite Hodgdon's efforts, the GOEX facility at Camp Minden has a history of manufacturing incidents stretching back to 1998, including a June 2011 incident where 1,000 lbs. of blackpowder exploded. The latest incident at GOEX occurred on June 18, 2021, when an explosion required the evacuation of 15 employees inside the facility. Nobody was injured, but the plant observed a 24- to 48-hour waiting period to ensure that nothing else at the facility ignited.

Let’s hope the Swiss black powder factory can meet demand.

Good choice, IMHO.

I've been eyeing the 96 for a while. Reason being it's the same caliber as my EDC S&W Shield. One of these days I'll ... pull the trigger.

em2nought · 01-31-22, 08:52 PM

I'm really thinking about getting one of Springfield's "new" Browning Hi Powers, but kinda expensive

I can't take this out for a test run until Sunday, but I have a feeling I'll need to replace the grips with thinner ones, and do some spring work to lower the DA trigger weight (it comes in at 9lb 14oz)

Well I am changing it up. Swapping my Beretta J9A9F10 92A1 17+1 9mm 4.9" for a Glock G19 Gen5 Compact 15 Rounds 9mm.
