My crooked arthritic fingers are making it difficult to pull back my P229 slide. The Sig stock recoil spring weight is 16 lbs. Can I get a reduced spring weight that will help me pull back the slide? I only shoot factory 115 grain ammo. No +P ammo used. Let me know if this is a bad idea, I...

The local Cabela's has trigger locks on all handguns and rifles, including lever actions. :mad: I tried looking at a revolver and a rifle and the staff will not remove the trigger lock. Stated it was store policy. This includes the used gun section. No test drives. WTH! :mad: No more...

I was reading (and looking at the awesome photo's and drawings) in the new expanded 5th edition of Jerry Kuhnhausen's S&W Revolvers Shop Manual and was amazed with the volume of information. All very interesting material for S&W fans, but when I read his FINAL EDITORIAL COMMENTS (page 205) I...

I have to dump those Hogue rubber finger grips from my 686 Plus, round butt. I prefer the large wood target grips, but can only find them for square butt L frames. Does anyone know if the old style S&W target grips can be found for this round butt revolver? No finger grooves!

I had to throw out another nice Mag-Lite flashlight that was ruined because those Duracell batteries keep corroding. Does anyone know if EverLast batteries are better and less likely to corrode? Or, is there a good quality re-charge battery flashlight worth trying?

A friend (age 92) is getting a medal presented to him for his service during WWll by the French government this coming veteran's day. He doesn't have any of his military gear and doesn't remember exactly what he is permitted to display on a dress uniform. He will be wearing my father-in-laws...

During a visit to a local cemetery, I noticed on a veteran's bronze plaque (the one furnished by the VA placed in the ground or attached to the headstone) the letters POWM. It had DFC (Distinguished Flying Cross) and POWM. Anyone know what POWM means?

Just completed a smooth transaction with Mike (VM) on a set of grips. Including communication throughout the sale. The USPS even made a quick delivery. Thanks...

It's coming up in June, anyone have suggestions/ideas on where to go? We're not big fans of ocean liners or jumping out of an airplane. We've been to Alaska and Disney World. Just plain simple aging midwestern folks. Thanks...

Information regarding this handgun and the sale of it can be obtained by a PM. It belongs to a friend. It comes with the box, manual and lock. He is the third owner and has never fired it. It had six rounds fired by the original owner and none by the second owner. If interested, I will...

Hard for me to believe, I'm now 65 years old and on Medicare. I find I remember more things from many decades ago, and forget what I did a few days ago. The joints ache, eyesight has gotten worse, and my reflexes are not as quick. So much has happened in 65 years it would take pages to list...

Veterans: Anyone in the AF besides me notice this? When I do wear my USAF cap, someone always seems to ask me: were you in the Air Force, :eek: were you a pilot? :confused: Hello people, the vast majority of airmen are not pilots. Do guys in the Army get the question, were you in the...

Facts: My wife and I were at a local car dealership for service. We have been going to this dealer for 12 years with the same car we bought there new in 2000. The service guy knows us by name. While standing inside the garage area, my wife tripped on a metal trim piece holding ceramic tile...

This is an oversized (18x11x14 fully opened), heavy duty, utility bag, with two interior compartments. One open and one zipped pouch. It also has two exterior pockets. Made by Bucket Boss. It's in great shape and was used a few times for storing deer hunting items. The ammo cans are steel...

I'm looking for a holster to fit the Ruger Single-Ten (same as the Single-Six in frame size) with a 5.5" barrel. Leather or canvas material, specifically made for that model, not one size fits all SA revolvers.
