    Identify My Gun

    Thanks for the info and responses. It is a L frame. I wasn't sure if it was a plus. This is only my 2nd S&W revolver. My first one is a .38 made in October of 1884. Inherited from my grandfather and got a letter of authenticity.

    The Shield and I get along just fine

    I handled a couple shields and felt this would be my next CC gun. Took the plunge and bought a 9mm. Finally got to put about 50 rounds though it. About 15 of each, Hornady Critical Defense, WWB, Blazer Brass; can't express how happy I was with each shot. Not much recoil and it ate everything...

    M&P Sport II - Barrel gets Hot. Normal?

    Received the new guards w/ heat shields. Can't wait to get them installed. Bought 500rnds of .223 American Eagle. Made a low offer and seller even threw in 3 fully loaded p-mags. Wish I had time to shoot. It's deer season and we can't shoot on state land for a few months now.

    M&P Sport II - Barrel gets Hot. Normal?

    That included the time it took to change out the mags and switch shooters. We have plenty of pmags and ammo. I know; you can never have enough. Just like firearms! I am a huge Ruger fan and did consider the 556 but this deal came along and I couldn't turn it down. I'll use this as a training...

    M&P Sport II - Barrel gets Hot. Normal?

    Thanks for the help. Since I am new to the AR scene I have lots to learn. Looks like I'll be doing some searching unless someone has something for sale.

    M&P Sport II - Barrel gets Hot. Normal?

    Finally took the plunge and picked up my first AR. Went with the M&P Sport II. Son and I took it out for some plinking. We shot 3 - 30 round mags of Hornady .223 ammo (55 grain). It wasn't fast fire. Just normal target shooting. My concern is the barrel got EXTREMELY hot. We shot the 90...

    Birthday Karma - Double-O-Dave wins

    I used to have more than 100 posts, but not sure what happened to them all. OK, even though I don't qualify, I'll still post my favorite S&W. This is an 1884, .38 Double Action, Third Model. It belonged to my Grandfather (whom I never met) and now belongs to me. Hasn't been fired in over 70...

    On naming children - are parents insane?

    Joke Of The Day

    Two Rednecks, Larry and Doug, are sitting at their favorite bar, drinking beer. Larry turns to Doug and says, 'You know, I'm tired of going through life without an education. Tomorrow I think I'll go to the Community College and sign up for some classes.' Doug thinks it's a good idea and the...

    Any tattoo fans out there?

    I've got one on each upper arm. One is the Firefighters Maltese cross (I was a FF for 13 years) and it says, "Brotherhood". On my other arm is my own design and has all 3 of my kids names. Was I in the service, NO, am I a convict, NO. I am a God fearing family man with a full time...
