Both guns I own where built by jackie, the 45 wad gun has kart nm barrel and bushing and groups under 2.5 at 50 the 38 barrel has no markings but as always jackie signed and serialed to the frame and fit is great.. A bad crown can cause problems but sounds like you just got a bad barrel. It's not th...

As long as you have a nice roll on the ammo that gun will feed all day long. watch fiochi ammo will not feed very well, not enough roll crimp, I have had problems with it. As stated not very forgiving guns,., good luck

38 special

I have owned two 52's and one colt nm 38 with the same results with accuracy. factory ammo in the 52 was better than reloads no matter how you did it. I didn't like the feel of the 52 in the matches as I do the 45 fit and feel.,. I own a jackie best custom 38 on a 9mm colt 70 series that still a wor...

There is not anywhere a pistol close to the 1911 45ACP. That's why it rules the line. In this part of the country, so does the High Standard Victor and the Smith and Wesson 41. The only other thing that would be next, would be the Marvel, as far as conventional bullseye goes. Most all the euro guns ...

bullets weight

Yes, I can answer your question. The lighter bullet will infact reduce recoil. Also, reducing powder down to 3.6 will also help. In an open sight gun, or scope gun either one. Remember that you have to match the spring to the load. Too light a spring will increase felt recoil, because the gun is mov...

Ultimate rimfire

After my other posts of European guns, I was hoping to find some input onto what European guns would have similar to the 45, as far as grip angle and reliability. I have an HS Victor and tournament. I'm very happy with both of those. They can definitely outshoot me. I was just curious if there was a...

Ultimate Rimfire bullseye pistol

If you had one particular pistol to use for bullseye only, in the 22 leg, what would it be? Requirements? Same grip angle as a 45. Still serviceable and repairable in the states, without a lot of problems. Adjustable trigger. Without European style grips.

spring

If your shooting 2.7 -2.9 of bullseye with 148 wc I thinking 8 lb is where you should be , but it's been a while. I havn't shot mine in some time. I run 11 lb in the 45 with scope on slide > Start with 8 then go up or down to fine tune hope this helps
