Provided Due Process is observed, I have no problem with this and have a couple of good candidates. One is from a shaken baby case I worked a couple of years back. The child, a mentally-challenged 4 year old, was evidently crying for some reason. The piece of human filth picked the boy up and...

Not bad, Capt Steve. However, I'm thinking old-school, or at least old-school style. I've seen several J-Frames on here with a reddish color (rosewood, I think?), smooth Magna-style stocks and a T-Grip. That's what I have my heart set on, but regular Magnas would be OK, too. Bub

For me, it's a tossup between two. My family wasn't into guns, so I don't have any family heirlooms to brag about. The first is my Glock 21. Except for when I first started in LE with a Sig 226, and a brief and disastrous flirtation with the .40 S&W round in a G23, my G21 has been my duty gun...

Here's my duty load. Starting from the belt buckle and going clockwise, a double mag pouch horizontally at about 1:30, G21 in Safariland ALS holster at 3:00, cuff case immediately behind, then nothing until my Maglite ring at about 7:00 ASP case at about 7:30, Surefire case at 8:00, radio at...

I love the Bodyguard design, too. I have a newer .357, pre-lock 649 and would love to find an older 649 (.38 only) or 638. It's the best of both worlds- snag-free hammer that is still able to be thumb cocked for SA, just in case it's needed. Now, I just need to come up with some $$$ to replace...

Three words: GO FOR IT! Last summer, I traded one of the guys I work with at the PD a G23 that I absolutely DESPISED for his old duty gun, an M66-2. After cleaning it up, I had this: I got a good DA revolver with some personal history behind it, he got a good gun to back up his G22 duty...

Here are our two. First up is Lilly. She was our first and the first cat I ever liked. My wife had been bugging me to let her get a cat and I finally gave in more to get her to be quiet than anything. I ended up liking Lilly more than any of the dogs we have ever had, including Duke, who is...

Very nice rides, all. Here's a pic of the Chevelle I used to own. I bought it from the original owner (a little old lady, no kidding!) as a graduation present to myself in 1987. At the time, it had a little over 13,000 miles on it. I wasn't real crazy about the 4 door, but it was all original...

What goes around comes around. If you scroll down in the above link, there is some sort of law about mandatory cat licensing and vaccinations. The poster sounds like us- Cat taxes, cat registration, etc. Now they are starting to realize what WE have put up with for years! Bub

45 Wheelgun, Can you post the name/phone number of the shop and how much the gun was? I live in OH (about 3 hours to the east of you) and would like to get into the .44 Mag game for handgun hunting. If it's cheap enough (~$100.00-$150.00 but I seriously doubt that), it might be worth it for a...

Thanks for the answers, guys. That's originally why I bought them was to plink/practice with. The HP were only a couple dollars/thousand more than the non-HP, so I thought what the heck. Then, I had the idea that, since they were HP, maybe they might be good for something. I didn't think they...

I recently bought 2000 Berry's plated 158gr HP in .38/.357. The HP was only a couple dollars more than their regular FP at the place I bought them, so I figured what the heck. They are VERY accurate in all my .357 revolvers loaded in a .357 case with 5.2gr Unique. A pretty nice, pretty mild...

Eagle1*, IMHO, a J-Frame or similar snubbie revolver is the ultimate LE backup gun. It doesn't matter what your primary gun is, a snubbie should be backing it up. Consider this. If you need the backup, the ranges will likely be close, the action will be fast and you will likely be shooting from...

Thanks, Erich. I understand about THE LOAD and how hot it is and, rest assured, it will be approached with caution. Bub
