    PC 5906 IDPA Edition

    WOW!! Just saw one sold here for $2,000! I got one around 2000 to uses at a "Gaming" gun. But with two young sons, my Saturdays and Sundays became Soccer Days. While I actually carry a Shorty-9 the 5906 has been a Safe Queen for the past 24 years. Any idea how many were built and has...

    Bugging Out

    Currently we have another "Bugging Out what handgun?" thread going. Probably about the 100th Bug Out thread since I joined the Forum. A lot of us are prepared to "Bug In"..... some of us are already Bugged Out given where we live. Some have a " safer place" to go! I started to pay attention to...

    3rd Gen grip observation I'll share.

    First IMO grip fit and feel are subjective to each individual shooter. While I prefer straight back factory grips on my full size 3rd Gen guns (5906,915); I like the curved backstrap on the 69xx series of gun. On single stack guns in the 39xx series I prefer the slightly thicker and curved...

    Scored a "nice" 2" 36 this morning

    Wife left early to go "plant shopping" with her Mom and Dad; both in their 90s. So I took the opportunity and went to BS at a little LGS that's part of another business this morning. I've had my eyes open for a 2" "carry" J-frame...... well on the bottom shelf in the back was a nice looking 2"...

    Interesting note in SCS&W 4th; 2" Model 15

    Picked up a 2" 15-4 a couple weeks ago; almost as new except for a ding on the trigger guard. SCS&W 4th page 212 has a note that 2 and 4 inch guns came with smooth triggers. Then states; "(at least one 2" reported w/ serrated trigger, but not verified)" My gun is not lettered; but,my late...

    What are "nice" 2" 36s going for?

    Was in a LGS on Friday ..... picked up a nice 2" Model 15 for $529(another thread in "1980 to Present"). There was also a nice "older" 2" 36 in the case. Priced somewhere in the $450 range IIRC. The 36 has been haunting my thoughts........... Got a early 640, 3" 60-10 and a 337PD. So what is...

    Two inch Model 15

    Well my 17-22 year search (locally/half the state) for a very nice, but shooter grade, 2" Model 15 , ended this morning. As I've mentioned before on 2" Model 15 threads I've wanted one for years but not sure why as my EDC revolver since the 1980s has been a 3" 65 or 66. Well a small rural gun...

    I would have sworn I had one...... somewhere...

    Bianchi 111 Cyclone for my 4" N-frames. I have two; a 27 in nice (90%) condition and a 28 that's all but new in the box........ While I doubt I'd ever carry the N-frame vs a L or K-frame..... I like having a holster for guns that could be carried.......for the past week been looking...

    Velcro vs. keepers; for duty belts

    Guess you'd call me old school...... shooting in the 80s and 90s I used keepers to secure my "gun belt" to my pants belt........ Looking at replacing/upgrading..... I see the new rage is velcro strips on both belts.......... Looking for thoughts on the pro and cons to each system.

    Current Market Value of Model 19s and 66s

    Based on responses to another thread it appears I'm way out of touch with current values of Model 19s and 66s. I own a handful plus of these guns.... some are "very nice" shooter grade some true safe queens...... a mix of 2 1/2, 3 and 4 inch guns. For awhile folks were saying markets were...
