Please add me. Thanks

I like old catalogues a lot more than the new ones. I'm in please.

Yes, add me please. Thanks

Add me please....and thanks.

Thank you USAF385. I just didn't see anything engaging the notch. I'm so used to the Sig slide stop engaging the notch and being able to release the slide with it. For CAJUNLAWYER'S information, I found this gun at the Pasadena gun show this weekend for $319. I bought mine at Academy, so...

But the slide stop never engages the notch, so why is it there? The slide locks back independent of the notch. When it is locked back, the notch is just rearward of the slide lock. As far as I can tell, the notch never aligns with anything. Swig is correct...it does take a lot of effort to...

I purchased a S&W 9mm Shield because of the $75 rebate. I wanted to upgrade my concealed carry gun from the Kel Tec P32 that I have carried since their beginning. I was going for a .380, but decided the 9mm would have a lot more punch. After going over the gun and the Safety and Instruction...

Yes, please, and thank you.

Study after study over the last 30 years have found that annual inspections do nothing to improve public safety. These programs exist for one thing only....REVENUE.

The "snazzy filly" was indeed a student. I started the first grade with her in 1947. She is still alive, well, and attractive, but now has grey hair. The Prospector died in 2001 from brain cancer.

The photo below was taken from my '54-'55 junior high school annual and shows the winners of the Pioneer Day costume contest. Note that the Prospector is holding a fully functional 1873 Springfield Trapdoor rifle in .45-70 caliber. No one thought much about bringing the gun to school. Most...
