    Aluminum S&W handcuffs

    Yeah...no box. Dad wasnt known for saving much over the years. These were once on the wrists of Dayton, Ohio's own William "The Kid" Stepp...a local gang leader and well known drag racer when he was picked up for one of his many crimes in the area.

    Aluminum S&W handcuffs

    I inherited these aluminum S&W handcuffs from my father, who was a police officer after 3 tours in Vietnam...he was an officer from 1969-1972 before he was offered a job with an alphabet group until the late 80's. My brother and I used to wrestle and handcuff each other around a tree with them...

    Grabbed this at today's gun show...

    I went looking to trade off a Kahr CW9...never got used to thst trigger. I went seeking a Sig P365, but there wasn't one on any of the tables. I was getting ready to leave when I decided to look at the Shield Plus. After a bit of haggling and my tossing in an extra magazine that I no longer...

    Feeling more secure with a revolver vs. a semi-auto?

    Ill carry either one...but it depends on what I'm doing orcwearing. My semiautos all run like sewing machines. They are also generally easy to diagnose and repair if there is a problem. If the timing is off on a revolver, it takes much more to repair than a semiauto. Find what you trust the...

    Decided to buy a Turkiye made shotgun...not bad for the price.

    Vance Outdoors has the Gforce GFBP1220 12GA bullpup on sale for $199. These are the same as all the other bullpups coming out of there, but with a few less options. I didnt expect much out of it, but was pleasantly surprised. Of course, I had to run about 100 rounds of 1400fps ammo to break...

    Another disappointing gun show

    It's been years since I've found anything I just had to have at a gun show...the last find is my trusty Bull-Hide belt i bought in 2012 for $69.00. Still pleased over that purchase, and wear it daily without sagging issues. I went a few weeks ago in hopes of finding a decent used Mossberg 500...

    Magpul Bad lever Compatibility for MP Sport 3

    There is no difference between the Sport, Sport II, or Sport III in that part, so it should fit with no issue Sent from my SM-S928U using Tapatalk

    Printing my own parts...

    I decided to 3D print my own forward handstop after altering a file of one I found online. This fits my hand much better than the two I was given and one that I paid for. It's much more comfortable. I printed it with a carbon fiber filament and at a higher infill, giving it strength, impact...

    My first M&P15

    I believe I've got it the way i want it now. Put the new dust cover on it this afternoon. Ive put about 700 rounds through it since I got it, and am greatly enjoying it. I've been shooting with a buddy of mine who spent about 6 years in the sandbox. He helped me by spotting while I dialed in...

    M&P15x

    For around that price, you could get a Sport II, swapped out the handguard for something better, and outfit it better to fit your needs. My used Sport II came as a base, then I changed the handguard, added Sig Sauer Romeo and Juliet optics, a bipod, sling and light for about the same as that...

    Added optics and dialed them in...

    Before Christmas, I bought the Sig Sauer ROMEO-MSR and JULIET3 combo they had at Cabela's. Between the military discount and the fact that I bought the display model, I ended up with 40% off list price. Not too shabby... I installed them the other day, and got to the range today. This is 100...

    My first M&P15

    I moved the RDS to the receiver after reversing the mount on the device. It was the only way it would fit. I'll post pics once it get a chance. Sent from my SM-S928U using Tapatalk

    My first M&P15

    Ok...added the Romeo and Juliet, got rid of the light/laser, added a MAGPUL front palm rest and a 1000 lumen Streamlight with remote switch. I still want a bipod, and will laser etched the dust cover with my business logo and Psalms 23. At that point, I'll be done. I also picked up a stripped...
