I'll take it, PM sent.

I put in a taller rear sight in my 229 to fix my poi at 25yds. It now has a target hold instead of the assumed combat hold that was 2" low from factory.

That totally explains the appendix carry paranoids that seem to be constantly brushing or touching the crotch region. Must be subconscious twitches that make them want to reassure themselves.

Someone help me date a 66-3 BFK0780 plz?

No, my girlfriend's cats like to bust in when I/we shower so I'm well protected. This also reminds me when one of my employees had a break-in years back. He ran down the street wearing a pair of Flip flops with a samurai sword after the guy past a police station. I had to call them to confirm...

I watched the Jerry Miculek vid where he slipped out the rebound slide with a screw driver, and reinstalled with a pen. Had never done a spring job in a revolver before, and it worked fine.

bought as used holster for my 66-3. highly recommended!

I've shot FM 9mm, 357sig, 38spcl, and 40. It's worth a couple more $ for Prvi in 38, Speer or CCI fmj in the other calibers. FM isn't bad, just 7/8 there. I order from SGammo, real solid to buy from.

I'd go buy a Glock 32. The fireball and report alone is a deterrent.

I'd go find a skilled wood worker in your area and have a texture put into your grips. Something subtle along the front strap and back strap. Try the idea with strips of skateboard tape first and see if it works for you. Cylinder and Slide, Wilson, et al used to stipple frames and do similar...

Thank you for clarifying that. My point is that on my 66-3 and his 66-4, wear thru the plating can induce unpleasant trigger feel. Checking the surfaces is advised. I'm also a fan of detail strip and clean, and possibly spring swap before going into anything more involved if there wasn't an...

Check the surfaces of your trigger and hammer. The plated parts on the 66's just don't wear as nice as case hardened parts.

I just went over my 66-3 tonight. My safety has been rattling a bit the last few days, so it was time. Stripped it down, saw about 20 years worth of crud here and there. I ended up taking it down to bare frame. It had a light cleaning, oil with some leftover Castrol 5w-30. I'm out of Hoppe's...

I'll take the Desantis holster

Could be a retirement gift. Domino's employees get Rolex Air Kings, and guns are cheap. I inherited a P229 Gen 1 SAS and a 66-3 2.5" that were never issued sidearms, but came in a wood box + plaque + punched ID card + retired eagle.
