also loved the movie "Strategic Air Command" .. with Jimmy Stewart

Hope I don't muddy the water, but this skipping a cylinder has me thinking it is a "timing" problem .. does this always happen on the same cylinder? or is random? The reason I ask is because the hand is responsible for pushing on the tooth of each dedicated cylinder and sometimes there is some...

Did the same to my Glock 23 .. actually my favorite Glock of the bunch .. it was inexpensive to do the conversion and fun. I expected it to be just a range gun but it is 100% reliable with the conversion.

Needs cleaning appears to have been scrubbed but looks like the last touch was inserting a dirty patch in the barrel chamber and then turning clockwise/counter clockwise .. leaving lint and and wet crud in the barrel chamber -- there does not appear to be any barrel damage to me, just a dirty...

I was issued a model 15 with target hammer and target trigger .. it was parkerized .. sort of disappointed I didn't get a pretty blue steel version .. Carswell AFB TX - Security Police (SAC) .. shot expert on first qualification and never wanted a different gun .. sure do miss that one ... now...

Sig 238 w/extra magazine in the pocket or on the hip; Glock23 9mm conversion (trigger, titanium guide rod and wilson combat night sights) w/3 mags in the grab bag and a spyderco knife. Federal HST 9mm hollow points ammo to go. (practice monthly). Bedside Sig 229 w/TLR-4 green laser-area light...

I'll take it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkWgp2abM2w believe this one is the video .. Los Angeles Rolex store .. 5 different gun fights before he decided to retire ... kept a revolver, I believe, 3 or more of them within 3 feet of his workbench .. never reloads, just grabs another gun ..

I was in SAC as a Security Police Shift Commander .. carried the Model 15 daily .... my model 15 had the target trigger and hammer and was parkerized .. an off-green color to it ..didn't look anything like cerekote .. still have my armory card/serial number somewhere .. have gone to some 30...

I have one too. Very nice for pocket carry or on a belt .. really nice and thin, but it makes a 9mm feel more potent than a 9mm should feel. I really like the sights on this gun and it is easy to shoot... no problems in the 4 months of carry. The trigger pull is on the heavy side as is about...

That Fox news story was disturbing on a number of issues. Shoot to kill vs shoot to wound was repeated by the media reporter at least three times .. and such a straw man argument never goes well. I know of no law tolerant of "intent to kill nor intent to wound" and the only correct response to...

My all time favorite .38 is the model 15 with the target hammer/target trigger .. easy to shoot, carry and accurate. I'm still looking for the one I carried in the Air Force Security Police ... I think you may have something special here as it is configured .. I suggest you shoot a box of ammo...

I've given the shield vs glock 43 too much concern. You are best served by selecting the firearm that fits your hand, points naturally on target and has a tolerable trigger. I went with the Glock 43 .. this is not a range/target gun .. it is a gun that has to balance and fit my hand so I can...

I would recommend you become proficient with a semi-auto such as a Glock...or a Smith & Wesson M&P in your caliber of choice from 9mm to 357 (note - I'm told that the 357SIG ammo does not "over penetrate" and has some impressive ballistic performance ... google it). Someone above recommended a...

as others have said a few youtube videos will have you going in the right direction on cleaning and maintaining your revolver... it is quite simple. If you have not taken off the grips .. you should do so as this is an area often neglected (not needed every cleaning session of course but a few...
