    Wild Bill's Concealment

    Shop around. I ordered several holsters from a guy who made a VM2 type holster. His leather is now more than the VM2 and his lead time is 4 time that of Milt Sparks. Sometimes you just have to wait for good quality work.

    Some help with M&P45.

    As someone said, it will not point like a Glock. I have a full size M&P .45. When I got it the trigger pull was right at 9 pounds. I put the Apex trigger in it and dropped it to 5.5 - 6 pounds. I recently picked up a .45c LEO trade in that had the Apex trigger in it. The trigger pull is...

    Model 59 - before & after

    1st handgun I bought was a Mod 59 about 40 years ago. Still like shooting it.

    Two Combat Masterpieces

    She gave to me for the original $800. I explained to her several times how much they were worth. She told me "Keep telling me, and I'll raise the price." I've been married long enough to know when to shut up. Her dead bolt quit working so I stopped by and installed one we had laying at the...

    Two Combat Masterpieces

    I try and treat fairly because if you don't, it will back up on you and Karma will bite you in the butt. She doesn't need the money. I stopped by and fixed a lock at her house today. "Just pay me when every you can, don't worry about it" Range trip! The .22 shoots low left, the .38 high left.

    Two Combat Masterpieces

    She has a daughter. I told her these need to stay in the family but the daughter, nor her children, have any interest. The Brother In Law is a ****. There is a "family price" and then there is a "fair price". I didn't intend to start a bidding war. Just wanted to make sure she didn't get...

    Two Combat Masterpieces

    Her brother in law told her they were only worth about $750. I did some research and gave her a $1250 number. I had no intention of getting in a bidding war, I was just trying to help her. She told him, he's out. She wants me to buy them. We'll have to get together on a price. There...

    Yea, the BIL. She knows about as much about guns as I do women. Soon as I figure out how to post the pic, I will.

    Two Combat Masterpieces

    A relative of mine recently passed away. His widow called wanting me to look "at a couple of guns" to give her a value. She handed me a walnut presentation box "I just found these". Inside were a Model 15-3 and 18-3 Combat Masterpiece. Immaculate. My guess is the 15-3 is almost 100% and the...

    What to do with a full size M&P jamming

    Not yet. Fridge blew up, shortly followed by the freezer. Then a side of beef fell in our lap for a good price. Apex is somewhere in the near future.
