Dusted this off today. It spends a lot of time in the safe. Forgot what an excellent AIWB carry gun it is.

This is to share an experience in the event it helps others and, perhaps, to elicit comments and advice from forum experts. I have quite a few of the new Smith & Wesson products, including all of the UC snubs and new 36, 10, and 19. Very pleased with all of them and so happy that Smith &...

One of the large Charlotte, NC gun shops has a "bargain bin" with a mix of grips, holsters, ammo, soft cases, etc. I have, over the years, found great deals on nice grips, holsters, and other items. Everything priced at just a few dollars, so I grab something that looks good and do not think too...

Another good deal from my friends at Carolina Sporting Arms in Charlotte, NC. I don't know, is it a good deal if they talk you into an impulse buy? This is a Glock 25 in .380 Auto. Typically available only available outside the United States (Europe, South America, etc) The design lacked...

This is my first M Frame. It is an impulse buy. Know very little about it. So, information regarding history, value, etc., all welcomed. Also, feel free to hijack my thread with pictures of similar revolvers. I believe that this is a .22 Ladysmith, Third Model, from about 1911. It appears /...

Some do not like the humpback. I dig it. The best of both worlds, accessible but shrouded hammer and interesting look. Pimping it out today with a 1970s nickel Model 38 and Badger stocks. Conceals easy AIWB. I see you.

** Sorry, wrong forum. Mods, please move to 1961-1980 forum ** Another good deal from my friends at Carolina Sporting Arms in Charlotte, NC. Was going to pass, as I already have a couple Models 10-5 with standard contour barrel and the new lockless classic Model 10 on the way. This one sat in...

This long and difficult day ended on a high note. My good friends at Carolina Sporting Arms in Charlotte, NC called to say that my new "no lock" Model 36-11 arrived today. It looks great. Hard to take good photos inside. Excuse the oil smudges. I think it looks sharp. Still waiting on the new...

Anyone carry a Third Generation pistol? I have a few in the rotation. Today, it is a CS9D. Compact, concealable, 9mm, and DAO. It and the 3953, 3914 (DAO version) are among my favorites.

Anyone else carry a Smith & Wesson K Frame in the appendix position? I occasionally carry a 2" Model 10/12 or 2.5" Model 19/66 in a Lobo holster. Recently, I found that the 3" K Frames carry just as well, better in fact, than the 2". The extra barrel provides stability. It stops the grip from...

Impulse buy. Sold a couple Glocks recently to clear out safe space for more Smiths. Took a step backward today, buying this apparently unfired Glock 35 (.40) with box, mags, fiber optic sights. My friends at Carolina Sporting Arms made a deal to refuse good to refuse. I plan to swap the .40...

I picked up a MP Shield Plus 4 inch Performance Center) this week. Initially, it was fantastic. Feels great. Shoots like a laser beam. I put 50 rounds of 115 gr Blazer 9mm downrange in tight groups. Switched to ZSR 9mm and experienced 10% light strikes. This is super frustrating. I want to...

Insane Kydex Creations delivered this excellent AIWB holster for the new S&W Bodyguard 2.0 today. The fit and finish is solid. It comes with the metal DCC clip and "claw". It is everything you need. Nothing you don't. Just like the Watchdog Tactical AIWB holsters that I use. It looks good...

I carry appendix position most of the time. Usually a Smith & Wesson J or K or Colt D Frame. Some of my holsters fully cover the hammer spur. My favorite, the Lobo Gun Leather, does not and sometimes the hammer spur eats at my shirt. I looked for solutions. Yes, I could carry only centennials...

Inspired by Burnston's recent thread about .44 Special revolvers and a few pictures posted elsewhere by colt_saa and Bullet Bob, I bought this nearly perfect Heritage Series Model 24-5, case colored. No box. My friends at Carolina Sporting Arms often call when an interesting revolver hits the...

Carrying the 442UC today. Anyone using wadcutters for carry?

Saw this Diamondback SDR for the first time today. My friends at Carolina Sporting Arms texted to say that a new/unusual revolver arrived. It took me a minute, staring at the revolver case, to figure out what they wanted to show me. Was looking for a Smith or maybe Colt. It was this...

On the way to my first steel challenge match. Never done this before. Never practiced. Observed a match last month and everybody was very nice. Decided to give it a try. We'll see what happens. I expect to win my division... because I am the only one in it. I'm the only one shooting a revolver...

Title says it all. Gearing up for some Steel Challenge matches with my Model 617. Need to have at least 4 speed loaders. 10 round .22 long rifle. Thanks. Ryan

They put it right in front of me. Stopped by Carolina Sporting Arms this evening to look around, BS with the guys about guns, etc. This beautiful 586-4 apparently walked in the door just a few hours before me. The original owner purchased it at CSA's original location about 39 years ago. 1993 or...
