    Show off your J-frames with aftermarket grips

    Wow, I really like these. Are they on the market? Like to get one for my Chiefie.

    Wanted to Share My New Custom Glock 19

    My opinion, the G19 is one of the best all around pistols out there. Not sure of what all you had done to it contributes to "shootability" , but it certainly looks slick. Hopefully the result isn't too light a trigger to carry for safety. I've built a couple of those strictly for range use.

    M&P9 Trigger

    As many have said, triggers are very personal things. When I choose to buy a gun, its trigger, grip angle, ... are things I take into consideration. I rarely buy a new gun which is going to require a lot of modification (for me) going in. That being said, if I bought a gun, and after, at...

    Are you happy with your Shield???

    Great pocket gun. But rent it for her first to make sure she is ok with it. It isn't a question of "can" but whether she is comfortable with it. Some people think it's a little snappy (even the 9). I rotate it as a pocket gun with an LC9s (the newer striker version). It's another one to look...

    A Post-1950 8 3/8-inch “.357 Magnum” with Pre-War Features (LETTER ARRIVED 03/20/15)

    I'll just add my congrats. What a beautiful revolver. I would find it hard to shoot rather than worship it, but hopefully you won't be similarly constrained. Have fun.

    All I can say is, SWEET!!!

    Does anyone know if Hickock 45s cracked frame was an occasional thing, or whether it is something that has occurred with significant frequency?

    S&W 22a some observations and issues.

    I have already ordered three - and they have been shipped and should arrive on Saturday (more realistically, Monday) - Even if both original mags worked as they should, I probably would have ordered more anyway. I hope the new ones don't share the defect I found in one of mine and that many...

    S&W 22a some observations and issues.

    Suggestion well taken - I was able to find some on line for $25 including shipping (OEM and new). I'm a little disappointed that retailers have them and are shipping them and S&W says it can't replace a defective one for "golly who knows when?". This certainly hasn't been my experience with...

    S&W 22a some observations and issues.

    Actually my puppy didn't fire either right or left - it just fired high - and remember, two other guys, side by side, NRA instructors, having the same experience with their out of the box 22A. All that being said - a little bit of sighting and all three guns are shooting very well. I may not...

    S&W 22a some observations and issues.

    I have fire Fiocchi in either 9mm or .40 - maybe both - haven't seen it in .22, but I am going to seek some. Clean .22 lr? worth a try. As I said, my 22a, now that it's sighted, shoots well and has a solid feel. My only real complaint is the mag(s). And, I'm surprised that Smith hasn't been...

    S&W 22a some observations and issues.

    Thanks Slidemuzik - that makes sense. Keep my fingers crossed.

    S&W 22a some observations and issues.

    I purchased a 22a (5.5") a couple of months ago. Coincidently, two instructors at a local range each bought one within a week or two of my purchase. We have compared notes and shot each others guns and our experiences were very similar. 1. Sighting - all of the guns out of the box shot high...

    Found a Nickel 39-2 (many pics)...

    These are beautiful pistols - I think I want one too.

    Steel case (Wolf, TulAmmo)

    Just a note, I have a cache (probably a lifetime supply) of WWII .45acp military issue rounds. Most are brass and a few hundred steel. They were issued at about the same time and kept together under almost ideal conditions (dry, air conditioned and heated - depending on the season). The brass...

    44 Mag. Ammo Recommendations

    Curious - do you really like reloading aluminum cartridges? I tried, found it tricky and easy to damage.
