In the 70's I lived in New York and had a Four-year old female Weimaraner who was diagnosed with diabetes. Each day I would dip a reagent stick in her urine and adjust the dosage of NPK insulin that was given subcutaneously. Not a big deal at all: Tent the skin and inject the insulin under the...

I have a rather large and good natured Labradoodle who just turned one in July. He will play rough with me, but I want to discourage him from nipping and using that as a form of play. I will use a small water spray bottle, spray him on in his face and assertively say "No." This was suggested...

I like it! Count me in.

Stand Your Ground It is common for the “stand your ground” laws to also have wording that the person who is “standing their ground” must be in a place where they have a lawful right to be in, and not in the process of committing an unlawful act. The mere use of the words that the perpetrator...

I use a flat mill file to shape up the edge if there were many pits and dings. Then, Dremel has a stone and attachment that will keep a uniform angle. I don't see the need for further polishing, since it is used primarily for chopping rather than cutting.

I have had a nickel plated 59 since 1980 or so. Simply put, it works. The bullets go where they are aimed. As a double action, the first trigger pull is long and will take some getting used to, unless you cock the hammer. You can't carry cocked and locked. The takedown requires three hands...

I just received two of the 9 mm, 17 rd pro-mags and took them out to the range. They worked fine. However, the springs, followers, base plate and locking plates were lighter than the factory model. Whether this means I will be replacing them remains to be seen.

Although I am not from the south and only recently moved to Florida I still like the slide guitar of the Allman Brothers.

Does Your Dog Talk Absolutely! However, he is having trouble with his spelling and his math needs some work. I don't want to push him, since he's only 11 months.

I bought a 9C in January for concealed carry. Since I am in Florida, I can carry it with an Old Faithful IWB holster wearing shorts and a T-shirt with only minimal printing. It comes with three grips and, though my hands are small, I like the medium size one. HOWEVER, additional magazines are...

It is very interesting to note that I did not see anyone choosing any of the M&P semi-auto's, though other S&W's were indicates. Why's that?

We have a 71 lb, 10 month old Labradoodle. When we got him at 3 months we bought a cordless Dremel with a medium grinding stone tool and placed it near him to get used to the sight and sound. It works better than a cutting tool and, though we might have to do it over a two day period, it keeps...

Attempted to order 10 boxes of 9mm and discovered the cost of shipping with UPS Ground was the same as the Ammo! I'll pass.

S&W 59 I have had a nickel-finish model 59, also, since 1979. The take down lever has always been difficult. You can download the manual online and it will give you some pictures. First, and for safety sake, I make sure it is unloaded. Now that we got that out of the way, pull and hold...

I just joined a large outdoor range about three months ago and noticed that each of the six or seven times I went shooting I was asked "politely" whether I wanted my brass. Since I don't re-load I replied that it was OK to take it. I don't think it is appropriate to just take it without asking...

Four footed friend Andy is not allowed on the furniture. (He didn't get the memo.)

I wonder whether we should start a thread about zip-guns?

Nickel Finish S&W Model 59 with teak grips.

Cleaning I used Frog Lube for the first time last Saturday and took the 9C out to the range on Sunday. It was much easier to clean and I like the fact I don't have to wear laytex gloves. Heating the pistol up with a hair dryer was no big deal.

Welcome. Also new here and also moved away from NJ about a 1-1/2 years ago. I don't miss the snow and ice, one hour commute, state income tax and real-estate property taxes. Not to coin a bad phrase, but New Jersey is playing with a loaded gun, despite their gun-laws.
