I am considering an IWB kydex holster for my S&W Shield and am wondering about the comfort against bare skin, sweat, etc.. I'm in Florida with very warm temps and high humidity most of the year and sweat is gauranteed. For IWB carry, is it best to avoid bare skin contact? What is better and...

Never had or tried an IWB holster. I live in Florida where the temps are usually very warm and humidity high. Shorts and T-shirt is the usual daily dress. Comfort and concealment with perspiration is the challenge down here. Have a new S&W M&P 9 Shield to carry and try out. Dave

Just picked up a new M&P 9 Shield 9mm and am looking for a good magazine speed loader. Lots of good reports about the Maglula/Uplula speed loader but their website has a note saying their loader will not work with S&W SS 9mm 8 round mags, something about the beak is too wide. Suggestions...

I have a nice Model 66 (no dash) 4" 357 mag and do carry it at times when catching big feral wild hogs. My question: is the heavy hunting load ammo such as the Double Tap, Buffalo Bore, Magtech, etc. 357 mag 180 or 200 grain hard cast lead flat nose bullets safe and OK in the old gun? The load...

That's what I needed. A broad gauge of value was all I was looking for. If the gun has not already been sold, I will get the dash number and serial number. It does have a full lug barrel. Thanks, Dave

I just learned of a nice S & W Model 60 that is available from private owner. The gun is a 5 shot, SS, 38 Special, 3" barrel, adjustable sights, factory round butt rubber grips, etc. There is no lock and I do not know if there is a dash number. Don't have a serial number yet. What would be...

I'd like to see/try a yellow ramp. I can't see the plain SS sights on my 66 worth a flip and am red/green color blind. Yellow always has been my favorite color. Dave

I have never used a gun with CT laser sights on it. Can the laser be seen clearly and used effectively during normal daylight conditions for targets or hunting? What would you estimate the effective and accurate range of the CT laser sights to be during daylight or low light conditions...

Thanks for the warm welcome. The seller is third owner, has no box or paperwork. The gun was originally owned by a LEO, probably his service weapon, and could/may have significant round count thru it or not. Price offered to me is $350. I am guessing that is about an average price if the gun...

I am considering the purchase of a S&W Model 19-5 4" with what appears to be a nickel finish. I have not seen or inspected the gun yet but have a couple of questions about the finish and the value of this gun. In these older guns is there any problem or issue with rust or corrosion forming on...
