Thanks for the help, you're right Nevada Bob. Mine will take a different spring. I did take the little pig tail spring out and believe that helped lighten up the trigger pull some. Rod

I have a SW 40VE hand gun and am wanting to do the trigger spring change over to make a lighter trigger pull. I have a trigger spring labeled for the SD40VE. Are they the same spring? Thank you for your help?

Memories... How fun!!:) I'm 65 and still remember the first time my grand father let me shoot his "Trapper's special" bolt .22. I was probably only 5 or 6 at the time. Rod

Thank you, guys. I ordered this adapter this morning, Appreciated the help. Rod

Thanks, Mike.

I got a Protec light for my SW40VE which is designed for a picatinny rail. Meaning, it needs a rail with a groove. As you know, the SW40VE has a rail but is wider than the weaver mount and doesn't have a groove or grooves. How do I adapt this light to my handgun. Is there an adaptor on the...

Welcome! :) I hope you'll like yours as much as I like mine. Rod

I love mine! Good score on a reliable, accurate, well built, easy to strip down gun! :) I picked up mine used in trade at a gun show back in March basically because of the 2 high cap 14 mags and the hope .40 cals were more readily available at that time. I have got used to the harder trigger...

I was a ninth grader in my American Govt. class, how ironic, when we got the word he'd been shot. After lunch, in English class when he was pronounced dead. They played the radio over the intercom to all of the classrooms. No tvs in every classroom like today. Seems like only yesterday. Rod

Bar Keeper's Friend Cool idea! I would try Bar Keeper's Friend with water and 000 steel wool will cut the rust and shine up the bezel. Post some pics along the way. Rod

The wife and I just signed up for another year at Cabela's this last weekend. :) Rod

Nice guns! :) Where can I get a mount like that for my SW 40VE? Been thinking I could make one. Rod

Yes, the Glock 26 is the smallest of the 9mms, a baby Glock. Actually rattlers are pretty easy to kill if you can hit them in the head. Since the head is small, I try to aim for the backbone first to immobilize them. A .22 does a good job. Rod

What a pity! You have to wonder if anyone gave the snake a "pass" because it was out in the "wild" and didn't kill it. I hope stories like yours gets more people to understand how dangerous rattlers or any poisonous snakes are. Thanks for sharing. Rod

The Rattle snake you let go "out in the wild" one day could be on your, or someone's, door step a day or two later. They travel miles from their dens in the spring returning in the fall, going through many inhabited areas. I don't give them a second chance. They're worse than a rabid skunk...
