I’ve been subbed to hickock45 for years and saw his original video on this gun. The one he said he sold to John. I picked up my 19-3 with 4-inch barrel used in 1984. I won’t ever sell this one. You should be able to make out the S.C.S.O. below the cylinder. The S.C. could be dozens of...

I resemble that remark and it is exactly what I was thinking every time I watched him stoop down into that scarecrow stance.

I’ve had the same Dr. Since about 1980. He is 5 months older than me and I do Not want to find a new Dr. I did ask him a year or two ago how much longer he was going to work. His answer. “Till I drop dead in the halls over there”. I hope he outlives me. Long time dentist since around the...

Can’t handle the way too aggressive grip texture. At first I thought I’d take some sandpaper to it but instead, I replaced it with a G21. The G21 feels better in the hand and I shoot it much better. The M&P will go up for sale.

But, are the sights for full size handguns the same sights used on the Shield? I think that is what the OP was asking, and it’s a question I have also. So much conflicting info on this subject. I do not own a Shield, but do own a full size M&P M2.0 and plan on installing night sights.

Model 19-3 I’ve had since 1984.

When I was in the 7th & 8th grade, we had a lady teacher that wore something that caused me to gag at the other end of the hall from her room. That was 1958 and 1959 and I remember it like it was yesterday. Awful. Just plain awful. I have not changed. Air fresheners will drive me out of the...

Mmm... That doesn’t make any sense to have the scan code say nothing but the serial number right next to the stamped serial number.

I’ve got 100 rounds thru mine. It’s my first M&P and I like it a lot. A nice soft shooter for .45 ACP.

I rarely clean guns, but my other half made a comment about how dirty her G19 was the other day while we were out shooting. Dirtiest 9mm I’ve ever seen and since she doesn’t have the strength in her hands to field strip it and looking at some of my handguns, I decided to have a sit down with 3...

Never owned one of them either. Blackberries were out long before I knew they weren’t something make pies out of and put on ice cream. I have an old flip up cell phone that gets used about once a month to keep the battery charged. I keep it around for emergencies when on the road. I have no...

Thank you for the info. I’ll give it a try.

I have this Ruger Standard that my father bought brand new in 1950 for $37.50. What I wish I had was the Luger that was brought back from Germany after WW II. He sold it without asking me if I wanted it. Grrrrr

Reading this thread, it sounds exactly like a thread I started in another forum a few months ago. TC Renegade in .50 Cal. Seller advertised as rust free, but it has rust in the barrel. I don’t remember exactly what I used, but I soaked some steel wool in something (wish I could remember what)...

Ameriglo, Trijicon and Truglo seem to be the choices. Does anyone have any photos with these 3 different sights on their gun? Not interested in the I Dot sights.
