As the title says, I finally had a short trip to the range to try out a few new ones to me. First up is a used SW 439 I picked up for about $300. It had 1 8rd mag and I ended up buying 4 Promag magazines (yeah, I know) just to have something other than the one. I had to sand the back of the...

I seem to recall something wrong with the early releases of the Gen 4 guns. I don't remember what the problem was exactly, just that there was something. When you are saying prior and post EH, I am assuming that is the first 2 letters of the serial number. I have a Gen 2 17 with AG and 2...

Wasn't that for the earlier Gen 4 models? I seem to remember the first run of Gen 4's had some issues, which is probably why I don't have one. :)

My problem with the video and the screw is that he continues to say that he was not touching the trigger, but the screw simulated him putting pressure on the trigger. ANd to top it off he began to place the pistol in a holster when it "went off" with the screw in place. Not a Sig fan and I...

As nice as this sounds, I'm pretty sure shooting BLM activist would bring unwanted law enforcement attention. :)

That is really cool! I have a friend that has several turn of the century bicycles and would probably be interested in having one of these, or even a copy of the original ads for his collection. Thanks!

I have a MCP35 that I bought to replace the Browning HP I stupidly sold about 30 years ago. It feels and functions EXACTLY like I remember the Browning feeling. I wish I still had the Browning, but I'm very content with the Girsan. It is occasionally a cocked and locked carry with no issues...

Will do.

S&W 439, Rock Island M200 and some cheap mags for the 439. I had to do some work on the mags, but they all now drop free. Next step is a range trip in a week or 2.

As it says, I should have introduced myself first before making my first post. Newby from Louisville, Ky. Currently unemployed (long story) but about 35 years ago I was certified as an armed security officer, I had first carried my dad's Colt Trooper as the company I worked for only had cheap...

I bought a new 3" round butt NY-1 (bkn serial number), Mod 64 with no -3 from The Cop Shop in Louisville, Ky back in 1993 after reading an article in Gun Test magazine. I think it was $350. Supposedly it was part of a an over run by S&W and they were authorized to sell to dealers. I have no...
