Chisholm Trail leather makes a very nice copy. I think they also made the original. Either way looks nice on the website. They make great leather.

Hello All, I am going to have my 19 that I carry on duty freshened up some. Pondering sending off to Michael Grouse for engraving and am looking for a quality bluing operation for a rather special gun. Fords won't answer their phone, Turnbull will only accept pre polished and polishing a...

I've been cut and stabbed. Both were experiences that were not pleasant. With that keep some things in mind. When we were fighting and I was trying to shoot him I didn't know I was cut or had a ink pen in me till it was over. Knives also require training. Its up close and personal and defending...

bump for the day

When I worked the road I carried a detective special in my left pocket. When prices climbed I swapped it for a shield. Works well in my 511's that I wear now. When we get detailed out I wear BDUs and fits nicely in the pants or the slash pockets on the shirt. I always carry it opposite of the...

In a self defense situation you won't notice it. There is a thing called auditory exclusion. When your gun goes off fighting for your life it sounds like pop corn popping. When your not stressed and shoot a dog you will go deaf for a couple days.

Don't raise the BS flag quite yet. I can attest first hand that I had a problem. I purchase a 9mm pro when they first came out. at 7 yards it would not stay inside the A box. At 15 it was off the target. All ammo was tried and initial observations were that the problem increased as the bullet...

IPD had a shooting team till the late 70's. Sadly the records don't go back that far in the armory who show any history the RM's. Wadcutters were pretty much the qual round until star went out of business.

would have loved to run across that since thats where I work

I still carry a 4 inch k frame on duty. When I am off I use a very stiff daletec force belt with either a kramer or milt sparks iwb. With the non checkered wood grips it disappears under a light t shirt or jacket. When its summer, or I'm in florida, the NP3 coated model 13 is carried.

don't believe them after what I have seen come back lately. See how it shoots when it comes back. Either sell it if you're not happy or sent to clark or other such gunsmith for another opinion. I learned that first hand. They told me a frame was mis drilled and the barrel was crooked when it was...

Check extractor rod straightness and burrs/damage.

Well I can tell you first hand of this experience several times. I bough a 9 pro that wouldn't group inside 7 inches at 10 yards. It went back 3 times. After I provided a technical explanation of the issues it came back with the slight peened and beat with a ball peen hammer. Was dumped for a...
