Galco SOB (small of back) holster

OCD1 Thanks, I can push the 135gr using Bullseye way faster, I had them pumped past 1185 (I could go more) but I don't need that speed for this bullet. This the the first load that I ever wanted to download cuz the bullet doesn't need HV. I went with what I have cuz I wanted low flash, good...

Semper Fi Brother. I manage a gun store in Kalispell, I'm currently wearing my Glock 17, a 640 and a 649. This summer behind my house I had 2Grizzlies, If I'm worried about bears, I carry a Mossberg 930 12ga. I've always had a love affair w/the J-Frame, I've owned many of them, I like the...

Wow, thanks guys for the feedback. I'm very happy with my results. I tried the slower powders and they gave too much flash. I know I could push the 135gr Gold Dots faster, but why? In my steel frames, these are not brutal at all and open up awesome. I also like shooting the heavier 158's, I...

I fired Speer Gold Dot 124gr +P in my Glock 17 through 4 layers of wet denim into water. Velocity was 1184fps. Recovered Bullet was .795. It did not over penetrate. Nothing else I've tried even comes close!

I have a uniflow and it is horribly inconsistant. I have heard good things about the perfect powder measure, so for 25 bucks, I'll give one a try. It can't be any worse than my uniflow.

I wanted to develop a load that would produce very low flash, as well as be easily controlable and get good expansion. The powders I had tried were Reddot, Unique, Bullseye, Bluedot and TruBlue. My results are as follows: My test gun is a Smith 640-3 Pro 2" Brl Speer Gold Dot 135gr Short...

I bought a Galco Vertical shoulder holster and a SOB holster for my 640 and 649. I like them both, the SOB is comfortable while driving even though I can't hardly reach it. The VSH gives easy access while driving. The SOB is super easy to get to while walking/standing.

The 638 is a great gun, the looks kind of grow on you. I went with the 640 Pro and the 649 cuz I wanted 357. They are a little heavier, but still managable. Couple things I did when mine were new was I dry fired mine about 600-700 times each. The double action triggers smoothed up big time. I...

I was debating over the same thing, This month I bought a Smith 640 and a 649 in 357. I chose not to purchase the SP101 cuz it's heavier and not quite as refined. I love my 640. I handload so I'm shooting slightly reduced 357's, I can shoot 150 rounds at one sitting and feel no discomfort at...
