The last draftee in the US Army has finally been released. After 42 years of service, CW5 Ralph Rigby has retired from the Army (and been promoted to PFC... if you've been in, you should know what that means :D). I have known a few Vietnam era guys in my time, but they have all since moved on...

I blame you guys. In the last two weeks, I have bought two new snubbies. When the wife got upset, I told her it was the Forum's fault.:rolleyes: First, I found a 642 from the Performance Center that I just had to have. The hang tag said it had trigger work, and when I compared it to a standard...

These ribs will be so good, they need protection from the start! I got a new PC 642 today, and it will be guarding the ribs. :) Anybody else grilling today?

I have been telling my wife for years that alcohol is actually medicine that promotes a long, healthy life. Well, no less of a scholarly institution than the New Orleans Pharmacy Museum is finally backing me up. Can someone visit and perform some... research for me? Please and thanks!:D Aqua...

About six months ago, I saw something about the 586 Comp L and thought that it would be a perfect carry gun, but I doubted that I would ever find one. So, I began looking for a 3" 686 Plus, which I had seen several times. For I months, I looked in vain. I found both a 3" 29 and a 3" 629, but no...

I have heard it said that as long as a person is remembered, they are not truly gone. On this Memorial Day, take a moment to reflect and remember. Maybe take a drink for absent comrades... Andre Mobley, Kuwait 2001 Bill Jacobsen, Iraq 2004 Jacob Martir, Iraq 2004 Charles Warren, Iraq 2005...

Does anyone on here shoot service rifle matches? I volunteered to coach an ROTC shooting team, and part of the competition is in service rifle matches. I don't know too much about these events. Anyone have any hints or any good resources? Thanks!

Today marks my one year anniversary on the forum. Over the years, I have belonged to several firearms related forums, but generally after a few months, I lose interest. Not here though. Thank you, Mr Jarrett, for hosting such a great forum. Thank you to my fellow members for your entertaining...

Today, I was shooting my still reasonably new 325 Night Guard when it locked up after about 40 rounds. I squeezed the trigger and it moved about a quarter inch before stopping. My first thought was that the ILS had partially activated. I unloaded it, shook it a bit, reloaded, and was able to...

I want to change the front sight on my 625 MG. I am interested in a gold bead, and Midway carries them from SDM. Does a Mountain Gun need a "classic" or "pinned" front sight? Is the standard height .250" or .300"? Thanks in advance!

I have been looking hard at Simply Rugged's Sourdough holster. It has received some pretty good reviews here on the forum. My question is, how well does it work with the inside the waistband straps? I prefer to carry IWB, but with N frames, it can be difficult to find an IWB holster. Pics are...

Frankly, I don't find the argument "I don't see people lining up to get shot with a 22/25/380/9mm" to be very persuasive. If that is your stance, then you should logically a) argue that a pellet gun is an acceptable self defense weapon, or b) let me shoot you a few times with a pellet gun. I...

I have a Ruger LCR in 38 Spc that I carry as a pocket gun and occasionally as a belt gun. It has the very nice, soft rubber Hogue grips. Thanks to those grips, I find it controllable even with +P loads. I like the little gun except it shoots low... about 5 inches low at 5 yards. That led me to...
