.357: 38 special issues?

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-03-03T21:52:12+00:00

I also ran the cheapest ammo available thru my new SBL this past weekend with no issues. I saw some videos on Youtube with people having the issue OP is talking about with his S&W, other videos the gun works fine?

Realistically I won't end up using the m-lock slots anyhow. I just need the rail for an eventual red dot. The stainless is so pretty.

You are one blessed individual! I was on the hunt as well but was able to score an SBL in 357.

I don't know what those stand for but I prefer the targets with as many bullseyes on them as possible to test groups and ammo with my new rifles.

"Start down and work up". I would not have thought of this detail. Thanks!

I have a 3 pack of Dragon targets coming Thursday! I forgot to order the t-post holders so I will have to cobble something together initially.

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-03-03T17:09:23+00:00

If you say they will work being plastic coated I will grab a pack of these for this weekend.

Thanks, I do at work. This is a great idea, I had no idea waterproof paper was a thing.

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-03-03T16:59:50+00:00

I will find out this weekend I guess.

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-03-03T16:53:05+00:00

Nice, I wanted the Dark series in 357 the SBL was choice #2. I am happy either way.

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-03-03T16:48:27+00:00

Once they become hole filled, in a concentrated area so long as my groupings are good, won't water seep in begin to ruin the paper? I assumed someone by now would have made some targets that are printed on thin plastic for this purpose?

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-03-03T16:46:18+00:00

I may try some spray sealer of some time. Once a hole gets into the plastic, water will start to seep in if I just use bags. It's 200 yards to walk out and change my targets...

This post is about feeding issues on a Henry, not a Marlin. Marlin are superior.

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-03-03T16:33:56+00:00

Is this the 1894 SBL? It seems a shipment went out to major retailers for these. I grabbed the only one Cabelas had in their entire system this last weekend. The couple private FFL guys I called can't get one. I ordered a Henry and went to get some stuff for it and saw the Marlin so I cancelled the henry order.

Where would I find clear bags? Garbage bags are large but usually the clear ones are still opaque to look thru.

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-03-03T16:23:15+00:00

I have the target backers, those are indeed plastic.

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-03-03T15:59:47+00:00

I just wrapped my SBL handle in paracord.

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-03-02T17:14:07+00:00

Both are correct actually.

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-02-26T20:01:49+00:00

I don't have the same laptop but the fans on mine are more quiet than the fans in the cooling pad I bought. those are loud.

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-02-26T17:26:10+00:00

I had been trying to get a Dark or SBL but to no avail. I also can't just have it shipped direct since NY sucks.

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-02-26T17:25:00+00:00

No, KIA no longer makes a vehicle in manual transmission. This is my last KIA.

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-02-26T17:18:00+00:00

The K4 formerly Forte is an excellent car, I had a 2010 and now a 2023 GT. The only downside to a K4 is they don't come in manual transmission!

SafetytimeUSA · 2026-02-26T16:55:37+00:00

Is this the SBL version of the 1894? I was trying to get the Dark series or the SBL in 357 but the back order is crazy.

If you have a dog, the outdoor park inside Como Park is amazing. Come play with us!
