Rastoff has it right about the gliding ability of the F-16. Hence its nickname: The Lawn Dart.

I came back to re-read the posts and all I can say is "WOW!" A few parting shots: When a Sig P229/357Sig was first pressed into my hands I shot the qualifying course as well as I did with the Sig P228/9mm. The only way I had to determine trajectory was to shoot at increasingly distant targets...

Rastoff: You're correct about the holo/LED. Olde Guye memory. It uses wind power to keep the 40-volt battery charged, propeller hat included.

I have an S&W M&P/357Sig, full-size, first series. I wish to put a Holosun HE507C-GR-V2 on it. First question: Has anyone experience with milling the 357Sig slide? The machinist who does this work on a lot of guns asked whether the S&W slide might be extra-hardened and therefore more...

"357 sig is nearly a dead caliber. It offers no real performance advantage for personal protection vs 9mm, it cost more, has more recoil, and lower capacity. " I STILL want one! I have spoken with LEO's who were issued guns chambered in 357Sig and none had anything bad to say about it...

M&P357, FDE, 2.0, and general puzzlement. I’ve been a Sig “Death Before Dishonor” fan since the early ‘80s. One of our sons is a LEO and his department switched from the “well-know” plastic gun for, uhm, a well-known plastic gun. To wit, the M&P9. I had trained him from birth to be a Sig...

GAAAHK! "2K"??? I'm afraid to see what my S-number 29-no dash would go for.

I looked at the link Team7 gave, and that is certainly the cases I found. Thanks to all who replied. Quick solution to a mystery!

I tried to upload pix as small as 500 mp and was refused. Not until I shrank them to pinhead size would they upload.

I can't for the life of me find a way to post bigger pics.

I did try a forum search for this as a subject, but found nothing. At the range yesterday I found a handful of shiny silver shells that were obviously 9mm. But - First, there is a groove around it just forward of the extractor groove. It is machined into the shell and is not nearly as deep...

505Gibbs: I looked up the WW Silvertip 175-gr 10mm. WW lists muzzle velocity as "1200fps". A number of manufacturers make ~180-grain ammo with velocities at that or above. Sig ammo, when fired from my P220-R5-10-SAO tops their published data, pushing 1300fps. I really like the 10mm cartridge and...

It's a common as rain in a rain forest. Local Walmart has lost large-screen TVs that just walked out the door. The local one has a close relationship with the PD, but for the most part they don't know what's missing - or who took it - until they check inventory. Ever called ahead or asked once...

Had both, kept the R1. Better sights for me than the Mil Spec. Otherwise, no difference I could discern.

*WHEW* I bought one from a friend in the late '80s or early '90s for $325. Nice gun, but on my hip it saved nothing over a 629 with the same barrel. Reminds me, I recently found an old coin safe in a box of family stuff. Nothing in it to make my retirement, but all interesting. Fiver were...

Saw one online for $1,850. Really?

If you're reeeally worried about value, why would you shoot it? Nothing I own is a collector's gun. If I can't shoot it, I don't want it.

S&W 648: 25 yards with a scope and CCI I can reliably hit bottle tops set on golf tees. Aguila 22Mag ammo is really hot, topping 1850fps from my S&W 648 with 6" barrel. It seems to group a little larger than the CCI. Sometimes didn't hit the bottle cap on the first try. The 648 has been...

Only 39 rounds left in the box because that was all the seller could stand to shoot before deciding to dump the gun.

I tried posting this earlier but it disappeared. Sooo, if this is a duplicate, plz let me know. In the picture of four: The one on the far left is a Lew Horton 624 Combat Special, and one I still have. The one on the far right is a Trail Boss but with no graphic. :mad: The second from right...
