    Help, Is my 19 Too Far Out of Spec?

    I would be shooting mostly .38. Just measured a 28-2 and got .005 back /.004 pushed forward. Feels like a bank vault in comparison. What’s funny is that 19 is really nice looking and the 28 is rougher and former police. I guess it’s that n frame toughness

    Help, Is my 19 Too Far Out of Spec?

    19-3. When holding the cylinder back, a feeler gauge measures .018. Is that too much of a gap? When holding the cylinder forward I get .01. So .008 endshake. I have some washers to fix endshake, but is the barrel to cylinder gap too large? I read on another old thread .009 is about as much gap...

    Do recent events alter your perspective?

    I'm a little taken back when I hear 2A supporters say civilians don't need "Assault Rifles". Assault rifles are fully automatic and very hard for the average person to acquire and legally own. As far as "military style" weapons, as the enemy likes to call stuff.. Outlaw them and only the law...

    Do recent events alter your perspective?

    I've had my CC license for 10 years and have gotten lazy at times about not carrying. Recent events have inspired me not to be lazy. A big takeaway for me over the last year is to always carry in church. Wackos have been given permission to hate religious people. In my church building you would...

    S&W refinished Highway Patrolman ???

    It means it's been back to Smith and Wesson for some work. Either the cylinder has been replaced at the factory, or it was stamped because the gun was re-blued at the factory.

    AR Pistols?

    8.5 300BLK and 7.5 300BLK It gets a little scary having both 5.56 and 300 BLK ammunition around.

    Glock Gen 5 - Is it worth changing over?

    I got a police trade in that came with the New York Trigger. I was able to hit well with it, but didn't care for the heavy pull. It's my understanding that New York police departments put these in the Glocks because the guys were used to heavy double action revolver pulls and were having...

    Glock Gen 5 - Is it worth changing over?

    Gen 2 and Early Gen 3 glocks used the strong investment cast internals. Mid Gen 3 saw the switch to MIM parts. Also due to environmental regulations, Glock switched to a different process to manufacture their finish. It's not as tough. Not sure when this switchover happened, but there have been...

    AR Pistols?

    The general rule of thumb is 10.5” for 5.56. 8” for 300k. I’ve been told this by a professional class 3 builder. This is also the general consensus on the AR15 forum. . I built a PSA 8.5” 300 with rail, flash can, Sig Romeo 5 and adjustable SB3. Also a 7.5” 300 with shockwave brace, A2 and Troy...

    1903 Colt

    I "spotted" a friend of mine $400 and he gave me this Vest Pocket Colt to hold onto. 25 ACP. That's been two years ago. Not really sure what it even is. I have zero interest in it. No finish left and some sort of plastic looking fake stag grips. It was his grandfathers so unfortunately I can't...

    41 Magnum Model 58

    Tonight or this weekend I'll post some pictures of LAX ammunition that I bought in 44 magnum and special and we can see how the crimping compares. I don't know anything about reloading or crimping. Not sure if crimping is done differently on these rounds since they are lead with copper plating...

    Model 19-3 Different Colored Parts?

    Factory target grips arrived and installed. Now I’ve got nice calico colors going on. Maybe the shiny horn won’t blind me with glare.

    Need Bolt Action 22 Suggestions

    I've been very happy with a Savage Mark II, with adjustable accutrigger. I bought it new around 2009. I've had new shooters try it next to other people's semi auto 22s and the Mark II was the favorite. Another thing I like about the Mark II is the drilled and tapped receiver for scope ring...

    Customer shoots 2 armed robbers

    Hard to know what happened without being there, or what you would do in that situation. Personally I would be very hesitant to open fire on a garden variety robber wearing a mask at a gas station. They just want a quick buck. My grandmother worked at the same grocery store for years. It got...

    Are many people buying new S&W revolvers?

    Last year I won a lightly used J frame on Gun Broker. I didn't notice it had the lock and was disappointed when I received it. At the range however, I will say that it didn't have any functional problems and it did fine. Ended up selling it partially because of the lock. The main reason was it...

    Garage Sale Finds

    I used to go to garage sales some. Got a molle pack for $2 that just needed a couple of straps. Got a lawnmower for $20 or $25 and used it for about 7 seasons! Nowadays it's not worth it because the wife and kids (both under 10) all start grabbing a bunch of clutter

    Model 17 and CZ pics

    CZ has become my go to for semi-autos. I like the different shades on yours. It's easy to get lost in all black. 1. P-09 with Cajun Gun Works Pro Package & Tritium Sights 2. P-01 3. PCR I really need to get better at photo taking.
