Anything I shoot regularly has Goodyears on it. Pachmayr Compacs on J Frames and Hogue finger groove monogrips on K Frames. The original grips are tucked safely away so they can be easily changed back at anytime.

Absolutely, I had a mechanical lock installed because I never want to go through this again...

Agreed, Allen could do no wrong last night...

See post#15

Not that great to be honest. We discussed that very point as he was working, his response surprised me because the same basic technique would work on almost any safe, it just takes longer if exotic metals are used for the hardened plate. That said, without the right tools, knowledge and...

Update for anyone interested, the tech came out and cracked the safe and replaced the lock. The process was very interesting to watch, one small hole in the correct location was all it took.

Prices have changed so rapidly that the guides are outdated by the time they are printed...

The Voodoo scabbard fits tightly so I don't think it will work with a sidesaddle.

It is 59H x 40w x 22D so it's not a small safe. Comparable safes are considerably more than $500 not including delivery charges so it is worth fixing IMHO. Not to mention, I still need to access the contents of my safe. The safe tech called back this morning, he'll be over Thursday morning to do...

I tried a new battery first, Duracell with a 2020 expiration date. I also tried the other measures you suggested and some other steps suggested by the customer service folks at Liberty safe, all with no success. The folks at Liberty safe gave me a name of a shop they recommend so I have a call...

After numerous phone calls and email exchanges I've come to the conclusion that the S&G electronic lock on my safe is kaput. Local lock and safe guys have quoted around $500 to crack the safe and replace the lock, does this sound like a reasonable price? I'm seriously considering having it...

I walked into the LGS to see if they could order one and if so, how much? Much to my surprise there was one hanging on the wall behind the counter. After sleeping on it, I went back a couple days and forked over the cash. Total wait time was about 15 minutes, apparently timing IS everything...

I've tried Uncle Mikes, Hogue and others, but Compaqs work best for me...

I was pulled over for no seat belt a couple of years ago, the officer was too busy lecturing me and never asked. Funny, because every other traffic stop I've been involved in the officer has asked if there was any drugs or weapons in the vehicle. Minnesota law says CCW holders don't have to...

Stored in a cool, dry area, sorted by caliber in GI ammo cans.
