Lived here in ESL most my life, can’t really move with Mom still here and having been hospitalized twice in the last year so we’re stuck. Have noticed that a similar bill is under fire in New Jersey at the moment and I doubt southern IL will let the Chicago/Springfield syndicate have their way...

.30 Super intrigues me more as a field cartridge than a carry round, I think it would make a dandy short range (50 yards) vermin, varmint, small game cartridge. As for carry, c'mon we already got 9mm, .40, .45, .357 SIG, and .380. And though it may appeal to the "two more bullets in the mag"...

Gonna miss ya man! Dale

OH come now 13 let's be honest here: "ladder13 Member posted December 22, 2015 10:37 PM Hide Post Sig ever fix the crappy rails on their guns? I had a P226 where the rails fell off, hope they improved the guns since then." Posted in the SIG forum you did, got spanked by LDD and a few others...

Never paid much mind to an instructors opinion on what best weapon wise since his/her hands are different from mine and his/her technique might be different as well. To quote Bruce Lee "Absord only what is useful." Or something to that effect. Simply put your there to learn the ins and outs of...

What few I still have are solid 3 inch groups at 25yds, those being a 645, 5906, 4046 (though it has its days ;) ) and an old 5946. The most accurate 3rd gen I ever fired was the 3913!

Wondered when this would happen. Have both, like both but for different reasons. Glock: parts, mags are everywhere, easy too maintain at the user level, proven track record and the 22 is probably the most popular piece in LEO land, therefore mags are abundant. Mine is a gen 4 model22 and the new...

Thanks for the felled folks! Turns out it's a 61-2 and in decent shape. Think I'll just sick it away for a rainy day.

Hi guys, am hoping to gain some info on Smith's little pocket .22 from the 70s. Already read Paladins excellent treatise on the piece and the varitions. My question is, is it still a practical little shooter (i.e. Backyard vermin getter, plinker? I'm not going to put a lot of rounds thru it but...

It's a neat piece one I have shoots better than its big brother which seems to be a theme with Smith compact autos. Mine replaced a G19 as its close to being a 19 but smaller thus making it a better mid size carry piece. Dale

Found a Colt series 70 Combat Commander with the "Coltguard" finish (satin nickle) at a local pawn shop last Christmas. It's unaltered and eats Federal HST like candy! Like @da gimp, I've grown to liking and carrying this more often than not! Also the SIG P220 would be a great one too! Have...

From what I'm hearing the 10 is making a small come back amongst the new shooters who like the other posted stated wanted a magnum class round in a standard size piece. Will Smith ever build another 10xx? Doubt it theyre too into the M&P right now. But I've noticed a lot of 1911 makers are...

I'm guessing this M&P needed a break in period huh? ;) Anyway, when I have a piece that has issues I shove the hottest thing I can find in it like NATO ball and run it like I stole it! Even ol Mas Ayoob recommends you run at least 250 of your carry load thru your piece to ensure reliability, so...

Saw a 59 in box at the last gun show, asking price was $500! A but steep to me! But that was just the weapon and a sprare mag with box. Hopefully a few more knowledgable with prices will chime in. Dale

Last time I saw a good one it was $425 with an extra mag and a lanyard! The last bit threw me too! I've never seen a 3rd Gen with a lanyard ring attached to it. Dale
