    Better call Saul

    I tried to get interested in that first episode but it couldn't keep my interest. I love zombie shows - and watched TWD since Episode 1 first aired - got bored with it Sunday night before BCS. Maybe it's me? I liked Glades - loved Longmire. Both gone (Supposedly, Longmire will have a season...

    Flashlight-which one?

    Surefire has well made and warranted USA-made products. Inova did make their flashlights here, but went to the PRC a few years back, where the Fenix, Olight, TerraLUX, and even the dollar store lights are made. I 'collect' flashlights, and have my share of MagLites - with LEDs - and no batteries...

    Bought my first IL gun today (Model 60-15)

    The rounds in my speedloader pictured earlier is my .38/.357 Magnum defensive round of choice: Remington R38S12 .38 Special +P 158gr LHPSWC. My wife will shoot a box of them thru my 60 Pro in no time, but she really prefers my 2" 10 - it has six rounds! My 60 Pro came with a Tritium Night...

    What is your all time favorite military fighter jet?

    Put me down for the Me-262. Had Hitler not been a mad man and insisted they waste airframes on a bomber variant - and dedicated production solely to interceptors - the war in Europe would likely have continued. As an interceptor, it carried four 30mm automatic cannon, one round from such being...

    Bought my first IL gun today (Model 60-15)

    I bought your 3" 60's sibling, the 3" 60-15 Pro, over four years ago. At the time, it was $26 more than your model. I bought it simply because it came with the '60 Pro' grips - which I had already put on several of my J-frames. If my experience with mine is typical, you'll love your 60 -...

    The Finest, Part 2

    My 'favorite' will always be my first S&W - the 625-7 Mountain Gun in .45 Colt that my wife shocked me with 9/02 - it started the madness. It's great DA trigger keeps it a favorite (Top below. I liked it so much I bought it a backup - another 625MG in .45 Colt.). My favorite shooter would be...

    Guns of the apocalypse

    I thought a wide range of ammo would make a handgun desirable - like something chambered for .327 Magnum - like my 632 Pro. It could also shoot .32 H&RM, .32 S&WL, .32 S&W, & .32 ACP. Of course, try to find any of those calibers - now, even. The rimfires are out - they are still non-existent...

    What is your all time favorite 1960's & 1970's muscle car?

    I always wanted a '63-'64 Studebaker Avanti with the supercharged engine - or an Alfa Romeo Giulia TI or Super - dreamt about a '65 Giulia GTC Cabriolet - a Bertone bodied Sprint GT that had it's top chopped off and was made into a 4-seat convertible at Carrozzeria Touring who added stiffening...

    What is your personal grail gun?

    The top spot for me - for nearly ten years - was occupied by a 4" 651. I had seen 650's at shows - always well-used and >$550. I found mine at a LGS for $579 OTD ANIB 11/11: Here it sports it's current S&W 60 Pro grips: It likes the MaxiMags the best. I found the NOS HKS #51 Speedloaders...

    627 pro series questions

    I bought my 627 Pro 5/08 - it quickly became my favorite .38/.357M! Here it is sporting a HiViz front sight, a tool-less change, and Jerry Miculek style monogrip, matching my 625JM, at least as to grip and sights. Also shown are moonclipped Federal reloads and factory Remingtons, all +P .38 S&W...

    Pizza anyone?

    Last weekend, a 61 year old pizza deliverer was ambushed and killed by a 17 year old. Hopefully, he will be tried as an adult - and if convicted face the needle. 'Tombstone' frozen pizza isn't all bad... it beats a deliverer getting his own tombstone, that's for sure. Good going, pizza delivery...

    Buds Model 10 On The Way

    I bought a brand new 2" 10-11, my first-ever .38, from CDNN - for $280 + $10 s/h - via USPS! Of course, that was 9/03... in the 'good old days'. I should have bought several... at least two - my wife long ago 'acquired' that revolver! Enjoy today's 'finds' - it won't be long until these are the...

    S&W 686 or Ruger GP100?

    I started with Rugers - owning nearly one, or more, of everything from .22LR to .454 Casull, SA & DA alike. My wife gifted me a 625MG in .45 Colt 9/02 and the conversion started. My only remaining Ruger is an Old Army C&B bp revolver. I buy new and every Ruger I've bought needed TLC to function...

    New revolver suggestions

    I highly recommend a 4" 64 or 67. Inherently a +P rated .38 Special, it is more than 'enough' to protect your bacon. There are great such protective rounds - like the +P 158gr LSWCHP - and affordable plinker .38's as well, to be found. I found, admittedly some six years ago, a local dealer with...

    How Safe Are We?

    We are blessed to live in a country where so many patriots yielded their liberties - often their wealth - and too often, their very lives - to protect our fundamental rights. Included in those rights is our right to carry a firearm. It would seem to be dishonoring the memory of our warriors to...

    Tell me about rimfire j frames

    Below are my SS J-frame rimfires, top down: 5" 63 x8 .22LR; 4" 651 x6 .22 WMR; and, the only one still available new, 3" 63 x8 .22 LR. All have S&W '60 Pro' style grips - S&W #411740000. I added the HiViz to the 5" 63 - the 3" 63 came with one. The 3" 63 came with a decent trigger, for a rimfire...

    Longmire **Cancelled**

    Both Longmire's lead and Glades' lead actors are Australian. Clearly, A&E doesn't like Aussies! AMC does - witness the lead in their "Walking Dead". A&E lost me... Stainz

    After Spegels, whats the best grips for a 640?

    The 351PD/642LS seem to have the same grip. It's available from the S&W site's store: If you want a larger grip - for recoil control - consider the '60 Pro' style grips, available from S&W as spare parts, as shown on my 632 Pro: Stainz

    Finally Found A Flashlight That Meets All My Criteria

    Sorry about the picture, but it's the only one with my Surefire T1A Titan (center, below) in it. It is discontinued, but mine was <$100 shipped from an evil-bay vendor around last Christmas. It runs on CR123A Lithium cells - available from most sporting goods/gun stores for <$3/ea (The US-made...
