    686-6 Yoke Screw Bit Size

    I almost pulled the trigger :-) on that very set. The set I have is pretty minimal. I also have a Marlin 336 that I'll be disassembling and may end up purchasing that set. Thanks again.

    686-6 Yoke Screw Bit Size

    Wow, thanks! I didn't realize it was a Colt-style. Brownells has it in stock, I'll be placing an order momentarily. I do appreciate your help!

    686-6 Yoke Screw Bit Size

    So my local "gunsmith" buggered up my sideplate screws including the yoke screw. I called SW and they are sending out replacements free of charge, not even shipping. Kudos to them! But now I want to be sure I don't make the same mistake. The slot on this screw is wider than my bits of the...

    Red flag laws

    It will boil down to individual states and in some cases counties or municipalities. I can see the likes of CA, NY, MI, IL, RI, CT, MA, etc. getting aggressive with red flag laws simply out of spite over the SCOTUS ruling. God help those of you that will have to live with such anarchy. Or you...

    I can't find a link to this business nor a facebook page. Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Red flag laws

    There is absolutely no doubt that red flag laws will be abused and scores of innocent owners will have their firearms confiscated. All it takes is a person with a vendetta to call 911 with some made-up accusation like "he threatened to shoot me (or others)," "he's suicidal," "I fear for my...

    Anyone still rocking shoulder holsters?

    How about this one from Lobo Gunleather? My plan would be to wear it in cooler weather when I'm wearing a jacket of some sort.

    OWB Holster Recommendation for 686+ 4"

    Thanks for your help! I have a Kramer horsehide for my 1911 but I'm looking for a different style. The DeSantis is actually in stock and reasonably priced. But I really like the Barranti Hank Sloan. I'm going to give them a call.

    Hot! And it's only June!

    I'm with you, WardenRoss. I have a 4 month old German Shepherd I am training and I can't believe how hot it is even at 5:30am which is the coolest time of day. Next week is going to be even worse.

    I figured this would be a pretty likeable group - and I was right!

    OWB Holster Recommendation for 686+ 4"

    Hello, all, I'm hoping for some assistance in locating some options for this carry arrangement. OWB at 3 or 4 o-clock. The Milt Sparks 200AW is pretty much what I'm looking for but it's pricey and who knows how long the lead times are. Tucker Gunleather also makes the HF3 with a 4 month lead...

    Howdy from Georgia

    Hey y'all, from Cherokee County, GA. Glad to be aboard after lurking for who knows how long. Started shooting at 9 years old with a junior NRA program run by our police sergeant. Still have my certificates but the medals have disappeared. Program was run out of our high school which was...

    Favorite handgun caliber for carry?

    "Favorite" could have a couple of meanings... what do I shoot best or what is most practical. I carry 9mm, .45 ACP, 38 SPL and .357 ... depending. Here in GA it gets HOT and HUMID - we're going to get near 100 within the week. In that case its a 638 J-frame in a front pocket holster. When...
