Just another vote here, FWIW. I wouldn't carry a 629 Mountain Gun on a bet. I once climbed Mt. Washington with a 4 inch 29 in a Milt Sparks Summer Special, and the 29 arrived wet. It survived, but I went looking for a 629. I found a 629 MG, but even though it had good grips (Hogue), the...

I'm not current on prices, but your purchase is worth a lot more than twice what you paid. Probably about three times. More important, you will probably find it to be a very accurate, usable and convenient carry piece. I know that I did. Note my user name.

There were no guns in my family, except for the duty weapon of my great grandfather, a policeman in Youngstown, Ohio. I do have one gun of considerable sentimental value, given to me by a fellow club member here on the Cape, when he and his wife moved to a state not as friendly to gunowners as...

I was a young 'un listening to WNJR (a Newark NJ Black radio station) when Hank Ballard and the Midnighters came out with The Twist. Hank Ballard had a fair number of popular songs in the Black market, certainly including the Annie series. A few years later, I heard most of them on one of the...

Hank Ballard?

It seems intuityively obvious that Erich is correct that each case is different. In my case, I believe trhat I know hoe I tore it. Alcohol facilitated the overextension. In my case, it healed itself in about a year and a half, and my only restraint was my knowledge of what would hurt. Your...

Glad to hear that his heirloom is safe. How about you? What do you keep under your workbench?

Believe it or not, I like stainless better for carry, but nickel looks better. Hard to beat Roper grips, whether they were made by Harlow or Gagne, if they fit your hand. I have just within the last couple of years discovered the magic of 3" K frame. It was explained to me logically by my...

Of course, you do. But in six months you'll need a new fall mattress, and in another six months it will start all over again.

That's what it's for. Used one in the Navy (aviation), where it was called a speed handle, and still use it occasionally at home for the above purpose. I don't even own an electric screwdriver, and don't need one.

My uneducated suspicion is that it will help patrolmen more than hurt them, but I pretty much trust anyone above the rank of sergeant to vindicate all the concerns over micromanagement.

Probably left that one in the car because there was a no-guns sign prohibiting guns on campus.

i was already going to like your post for the example of documenting results. Now it turns out that we both have had good results with the same ammo - Blazer. For me, other CCI ammo, as well.

Lee Child seems a strange person to me. He doesn't (or didn't) know **** about guns or the military, just made stuff up as he went along. Only a Brit could come up with a character who couldn't take a shower on Sunday and put on clean clothes in a state with blue laws, but he told an...

I certainly don't know, but the rumors that I believe are that you should stay hydrated and have reasonable electrolyte intake, particularly magnesium. As a prediabetic, it seemed to me that straightening out that problem almost completely eliminated my leg cramps, but that may have just been a...
