    3913 questions

    I have a 3913 that I have owned for years. I have fired it at the range, but have never carried it. If I were to carry it more, what are some things that I should do to insure its reliability? Or, even to keep as a home defense gun in the nightstand. I bought it used, at a local gun shop, in...

    I learned an important lesson today.

    When you find out that someone you know, really like, and care about, is in hospice care, and you're planning on visiting them, don't put it off. That's all. Thank you.

    Went to Hawaii, got a tattoo.

    I just got back from the biggest trip of my life. My wife and I spent 10 days on the Big Island of Hawaii. What a great time! We did so many fun things. Our host took us out on a small 17' Zodiac inflatable boat to whale watch. We got really close to them about a mile off shore. We snorkeled...

    Ruger GP-100...grip panel glue?

    Years ago, I bought a set of elk stag grip panels to go in the rubber grips on my early GP-100. I remember that removing the original wood grip panels was a little bit of a chore. They were glued in. Well, I just sold the stags and want to glue the wooden ones back in. What would be a good...

    Finally got a Big Twin

    In 1988, I bought a brand new Harley Davidson Sportster. Thirty-five years later, I still have it. I charged the battery up and rode it just the other day. It has been a great bike, but I've been wanting something bigger....something that would easily ride two up so I could take my wife for an...

It will come with the...

    My last day of full-time employment was February 24th. I was a welding instructor since 2007. I am collecting my New York State Teacher's pension. Just turned 64. Have not applied for Social Security yet. Haven't needed it. I have been getting a fair amount of side work by referrals. Mostly...

    CZ P-10 C 9mm pistol...anybody here have knowledge of these?

    From what I can see, these are CZs take on the Glock concept...striker fired, polymer frame, etc. My son is considering one of these or a Glock. I've had a couple of Glocks and sold them. They are just not my cup of tea. I am a little familiar with the CZ 75. That would be the CZ for me. Anybody...

    Are "S" serial guns really better than "N" serial guns?

    I know that the "S" is generally more desirable. I have two 28-2s. A 4" "N" serial number and a 6" "S" serial number. I'm thinking about thinning the herd a little bit and may sell one. If the 4" was the "S", the decision would be easy. That's the one I'd keep. I just like 4" guns over 6" in a...

    New use of the word "they"?

    I was running some errands today and decided to take the puppy with me. I went to the pet store to get some puppy food. While checking out, the young man (I think) asked me the puppy's name. I said "Hannah". Then he said "how old are they?". I looked down to make sure that I still only had one...

    Upgrading a Colt Combat Commander....where to go?

    I have a blue Colt Combat Commander that I bought new almost 30 years ago. I'm thinking about sending it out for some custom work. Better sights, beaver-tail grip safety, trigger work, that sort of thing. Who does the best work at fair prices?

    Question for self-employed or business people....

    In addition to my full-time job, which I'm retiring from in less than two months, I do some welding on the side. I recently did a job for a machine shop. He dropped the machined parts off to me, ready to be fit and welded. I quoted him a price and he was fine with it. When he came to pick them...

    I put in my notice....

    After 15 years there, I let my work know that I plan on leaving in a few months. I'm leaving on good terms. I'm 63. I'm not calling this "retiring" because I do a lot of welding/fabricating/repair work on the side. With my certifications and experience, I stay pretty busy with that and charge a...

    Illinois FOID card....

    My son just received his FOID card in the State of Illinois. What exactly does that allow him to do or possess? Would it be legal for me to drive to Illinois and deliver a couple of long guns to him that I've been keeping for him? Or, would they have to go through an FFL?
