I picked one up when they were in production for CCW. Had no idea it was rare at the time. Had it tuned by Andy Cannon and put a Guy Hogue custom mesquite stock on. Nice gun but it is rare enough so I don't carry it anymore.

I put a Mustang on my Vulcan 900. With the stock seat I could go about 1 hour before my tailbone would start in, after that initial hour I would have to get off the bike every 20 minutes or so. With the Mustang I can easily go 3 hours take a 5 minute break and go another 3 hours. The Mustang is...

I use .025 clips from TK Custom and either Federal or Remington brass. I'm told that Starline will work in .025 clips too but haven't tried any.

When I moved from Maine to Arizona last year it took me through several anti-2A states, especially in New England. I had a collection plus 6 cats to move across. I planned my route to avoid as many anti states as I could. My solution was, I rented an RV. Put my handguns in silicone gun socks...

My first was a 4" M19, no idea of the dash but it was P&R. Paid $125 and wish I still had it. Been downhill ever since!

I picked up a 629 in Tucson that had the profile changed, as I bought it this way I don't know who did the work. Really nice job though, beautifully done. Being as it was Tucson, two high profile smiths in Phoenix, Nelson Ford and Frank Glenn maybe? I just had Nelson Ford fit a cylinder for me...

I rarely go into pawn shops. When I do it seems like a treasure trove of plastic. I don't think I've ever seen a revolver of any kind in one!

I've had one for awhile. Shot a lot of matches with it and have had no issues other then knocking down steel, but that is the cartridge not the gun! Accuracy and function is fine.

I always shoot revolvers in matches, and 99% of the time I'm the only one, I've done this for years. All my guns I compete with are cut for moonclips which makes them more competitive. I don't shoot much anymore, just matches, I don't practice at all, and I can usually end up in the middle of...

I bought my first M29 in 1980. I was 20 at the time and every round that went through it was a 240 SWC over 22 grains of 2400. After many of these rounds the end of the center pin mushroomed and it was hard to open the cylinder. Contacted the factory shipped it back and they totally rebuilt the...

I always had Galaxy phones. It seems like they all would die within a couple years. Last one cost almost $1500, just over a year later there was an upgrade that bricked my $1500 phone, the only thing I could use it for was calls. No internet access unless I was on a network. No cell data at all...

I agree with this rant 100%, pass in the left and travel in the right. I also agree with the rant about people not yielding on on ramps. Half the time people don't even look to see if there is any traffic. If the left lane is clear I will always move over and let them merge. If I have a traffic...

I spent 34 years as the parts manager at a Toyota dealer. I use oem parts for pretty much everything on my cars and bikes including oil filters. There are a few things that I will use aftermarket parts for but not many, experience has shown me that you can't beat oem for fit and quality. As far...

Just an FYI, my 2017 Mustang came with the pump, but I want a spare. I bought a spare tire kit from Ford, came with a space saver tire on an alloy wheel, wheel wrench, jack and handle, and holddowns for everything. Fits in the well and I paid a little over $200. Don't know if it's still...

610's are very forgiving for moon clips. I would buy whatever I could find at a reasonable price.
