Merry Christmas!! TACC1

This little gun has had the hammer modified by my gunsmith to a pocket hammer configuration. I couldn't carry/draw w/o snagging. Since I do all my revolver shooting in DA mode, I'm happy with it. It can still be fired SA; just don't let your thumb slip. It has had less than 50 rounds...

This gun is not LNIB, but it's too good for me to be out beating it up. Plus, the revered Forum member who had it before, controls my lust for shooting it. I only ran three cylinders thru it before buying one as a beater, and refurbishing that one. As you can see, it's a 4' bbl. with a...

I was watching Big Jake the other day, and it reminded me of an article about his life and times. The author said that John Wayne didn't want to go to war /cuz it'd wreck his career. That may have been the reason he looked embarrassed when I met him while crossing thru our compound in...

Those of you who've opted for a LOBO holster, already know how good his holsters are. With the weather turning bad,(cold), there's extra leeway for carry options. Been using front pocket carry for primary, and other options for BUG. His IWB for 2", 3" revolvers, and flat autos are just...

Finally got an XDs45. It's small enough for a pocket, and recoil is not punishing. Had time for a magazine of 230gr Ball ammo at the range before loss of light. I also found that it will pocket carry with a Nemesis, just a tad tight, stretching holster with a CS45. Came with a third...

I sent some prayers up for the folks that are getting pummeled by today's storms. I believe some of our members were in the path of the tornadoes that carved a path through Illinois. TACC1

Went to the range with a Brand X 9mm and a CS45. Less than a hundred rounds thru the 9mm, and I've got FTE's. Switched to the used CS45, and it's right on the money at 25 yards. Bought it used for more money than the 9mm, and it is just plain fun to shoot. Not too thrilled with plastic...

Last weekend, went to the range with a 10-5 that has a wonderful trigger, and a M36 snub. Most of my practice is with a 442 and a 642, which work well for me. I was amazed to find out, that at about 10 yds. I was missing a gallon milk jug. Maybe 4 solid hits out of about 20 rounds. Never shot...

Like most of us, I'd guess, I try to read all of Gary's posts and visit the links when they apply to me. Some of that info/links just might be worth its weight in gold, by keeping folks aware of handgun laws that not only vary from state to state, but can change without much warning...

So, where would I look to find Weatherby brass? A friend of mine is looking for some, and I don't know where to look for some. He uses it for a wildcat round, and has run out of ammo. Thanks in advance, TACC1

Every now and then, someone asks about belly bands for CC. Usually, I see the post, and tout the Gould & Goodrich "Bodyguard". And I always say that it's comfortable to use. Finally decided to actually wear it for a whole day, and doing whatever. Going on 18 hours now, and it's still...

A new study, aired-out in the journal "Arthritis & Rheumatism", claims that a chemical in broccoli, and in Brussels sprouts and cabbage, protects the cartilage in joints from damage caused by arthritis. Geeez,...WHO KNEW?? I hope that stuff goes good with adult beverages, just sayin'... TACC1

I'm considering getting a "pocket" 45. The CS45 weighs in at around 32oz. Kinda hefty for me. Was wondering whether any Forum members could comment on reliability of some of the current run of 45 autos. There's the M&P 45, the XDs-45, the Glock 30s, and the Bersa 45. All look...

I saw a post recently that spoke about 38 S&W ammo. Whoever was making it, was saying that their ammo was too hot for top-breaks. I'd really like to try some, but AMMO TO GO and REED's are not listing it. Just standard 38 S&W. Anybody recall who had the good stuff? TIA, TACC1.

Sometimes, things don't go so good. Yesterday was one of those. BUT, after all the bad, there was a package in the mail, with a set of Improved I-frame stocks for a round-butt 32. Stuck them on a 1930(?) 4" 32 H-E, and now have a gun which fits my hands just right. Two Forum members...

Having read good things about the Model 3000 shotgun, I looked for a couple years to acquire one. Wasn't sure if I could find a decent one using my handgun criteria, lest it be a ***. Lo and behold, a Forum member had one for sale, and now it's mine. Mod. 3000, 18" barrel, Police Cylinder...

This member is total professional to do business with. Any deal with him will be smooth and fast. Tells a lot about the person in how they treat you doing a deal. Thanks, st regis !! TACC1

I just acquired this Kitgun, and would like to install a rear aperture sight-blade, 'cause of my old eyes. This is a 1956 vintage, with coil spring. Was wondering if S&W had blades for newer models that would fit. TIA, TACC1.

For various reasons, I have not done much shooting with the 22/32 I acquired here on the Forum. I really do like the concept of a "kit gun", though. Been looking for quite a while for a shooter-grade. Had to be round-butt, and 4" or less. Needless to say, it had to be blue steel. Finally...
