    Pet peeve: screaming kids in restaurants

    Nope it's not a restaurant problem, nor is it a society problem. It's a parenting problem. I see it quite often and it bothers me, sometimes enough that if the parents don't understand what acceptable behavior is I will go over to the offending table and politely but firmly explain it. When I...

    The Hood is Smell'n Good

    That looks great, I can almost smell it. Darn shame Oregon is a bit of a drive. Us Michigan folks should plan a BBQ get together. We could chow down and talk about our S&W's.

    Grip suggestions, please

    Ha, I've been trying to do that for 36 years now, I've gotten close to getting two in the same hole a couple times. I am very driven, or competitive, or both. I compete with myself with every shot, trying to get better and better. I'm not sure if I am just a perfectionist or if I have OCD...

    Grip suggestions, please

    Those are nice looking too, Jerry. I'm not sure those would work for me, I have a square butt, err, wait that doesn't sound right, my Model 29 is a square butt.:o I will check into those as well, though.

    Grip suggestions, please

    Again, thank you! I think I've found the perfect grips, the Ahrends Retro Combat grips(stocks?) seem like they should be perfect. I called them today and described the problem I have with the stock walnut "Target" grips that came on it. The Cordia wood in oil finish sounds like a beautiful...

    Holding my tongue at Gander Mtn

    Oh my, asking the average clerk at Gander Mountain what a lady should buy is akin to asking a sanitation worker to pick out her shoes. No offense to any sanitation workers here.:rolleyes:

    Need a "chuckwagon" pinto beans recipe

    When cooking dried beans never add salt or sugar until the beans get tender. If you add salt or sugar too soon your beans will not get tender. This sounds good and could just as easily be cooked the old fashioned way: Barbecue Cowboy Pinto Beans 16 oz Package dried pinto beans, rinsed and...

    Grip suggestions, please

    YES!!! the ones in the top pic are just what I have in mind. They look like they would fit my oddly shaped hands. Do they make something similar for the N-frame with a square butt?

    Grip suggestions, please

    It's time to find some new grips for a few of my guns. I have small hands with a deep curve to my palm and find that I need more palm swell to better fit my hand. The three I want to find new grips for are my K-frame Model 65-5, round butt, L-frame 686+ round butt and my N-frame Model 29 square...

    Model 29-10 Classics - Why are they hated so much?

    Here is mine, it was my birthday present to myself last year. I love this gun, I mean really love it. It make me a better shot every time I shoot it. I do wish the grips had more palm swell, and I'd love to compared the older grips side by side to see what the difference is. Pics if anyone has...

    Am I crazy? What's the largest handgun you CC??

    I am one of those people who likes to push the envelope, just to see if I can. And yes I can, and sometimes do.:D At a towering 5'4" and a whopping 125 pounds, I've surprised myself at what I can hide. My carry options vary from a Model 36(2") to the Model 65,(3") the 686+(3"), the Model 29(4")...

    Is the 9mm really that poor?

    Oh dear, I beg to differ with "firearms experts" you've quoted. This is my ladies gun,:D
