    S&W 986PC

    Took to range for initial firing, had some odd occurrences of gun going bang but trigger not returning to ready fire position instead being "stuck" back. Able to pull trigger forward and resume firing. No failures to fire. No difficult extraction of empty moon clips. Fired 12 7 round clips...

    S&W rebate, love these things

    S&W Rebate Just stumbled into this making my 986PC purchase $75 less! Got a $125 rebate from FN a couple weeks ago. Thank you S&W!

    trade 629PC for 986PC??

    Have 629PC 2 3/8" with 3 grips and nice Lobo holster that due to my arthritic condition, I doubt I will ever shoot again. Can shoot the same loads out of a 629 5" without problem. But the 44 Mag snub that was so much fun in my youth is nothing but painful in my old age. There's a 986PC 2 3/8"...

    SW1911Sc

    Who has one of these? I passed on a trade for one years ago and now for whatever reason am thinking of trying to acquire one. Good? Average? Bad?

    how much brass is enough?

    Spring cleaning had me attack my brass stockpile. 9 calibers reloaded. Feel comfortable with the 10mm, 38 Special, 357 Mag and 44 Mag quantities of brass on hand. But for: 9mm 40S&W 45ACP 5.56N/.223 Looks like 9mm and 45ACP go for around $0.12/ea once fired with 40SW only around $0.06/ea...

    Shield 9mm rear sight

    Is there a tall rear sight available from S&W for these? Shot a buddies the other day and it was a good 5" low.

    Feline (or canine) diabetes

    We just had to start giving our elderly cat twice-a-day insulin injections. My first time down this road with a pet. Anyone been in my shoes? How long did they last with the injections? Months? Years? Trying to plan my next vacation, which won't be happening anytime soon with 2-a-day injections...

    M&P15TS

    There's a M&P15TS on the shelf that just calls me. It is unfortunately steep @ $1399. The only other one that calls me is the Colt CRP @ $1899 w/ 18" barrel and adjustable gas. Of course, these two handguards are similar in profile and could be added to one of my existing uppers for considerably...

    422 purchase?

    So there's a 422 available to me for $279, used, one mag, no box. I didn't grab it today but I'm thinking that I should have it to keep my 2214 company. Anyone think $279 is too high?

    Spring bear

    N-frame lineup for spring bear. The Taurus 8 3/8" is usually scoped in a bandolier holster as the main. The 610 is amongst the most accurate of wheel guns I have come across. The 5" 629 just feels right. The 2 5/8" PC 629 is my bear season backup. Anybody else out for spring bear season?

    Looks like the peak has been reached?

    I see black rifle prices either static or receding. Maybe ammo prices will follow. Being a hoarder has strategic advantages. On the hunt for sub $1K samples once again.

    M&P10 issues

    2 things have come to my attention when disassembling a colleague's M&P10: Drop in trigger modules are impeded by the ambi bolt release which must be removed in order to install. Recommend going with non-modular upgrade to trigger due to this. Factory trigger pins are funky, non-mil-spec...

    S&W M&P-10 numbers?

    Was able to fondle one of these today. Castle nut is not properly staked, neither was the gas-key. That being said, the ambi safety, mag release and bolt release are pretty slick. Handguards seem cheap, plastic only without metal heat shields, or so it appeared. Flash hider is kinda funky...

    Anybody try a Better-mag??

    Better-mag Ran across this and ordered one. This way, I can use my 15-22 mags with my dedicated 22LR upper on my AR-15 lower. The Black Dog mags are OK but not as good as the 15-22 mags. I am well-stocked with 15-22 mags.

    Franken AR 6940

    Here's a custom lower that alone cost me more than a M&P Sport. CMC flat 3.5# trigger, KNS anti-walk trigger pins, oversize mag release, Mako butt stock, Pacmeyer Vindicator pistol grip, Magpul aluminum enhanced trigger guard, Noveske QD receiver end plate, Mako magwell grip... I looked at the...

    disease spreading to Night Guards...

    I have been formally diagnosed with Black Rifle Disease and an addiction to all things camo. The symptoms have spread quickly to my taste in revolvers and now I'm counting Night Guards while falling asleep. The logical addition is the 310 to add to my 10mm collection thread. The 386 with 8 357...

    15-22 Realtree APG HD in the house

    So this matches up with the Talo Pink Platinum I got for my wife last year and the M&P15-22P too. Nice to have 3 running the same mags. 100% reliability going through nearly 500 rounds today in the new Realtree. Big smile.:) I also have an AR-15 lower that I built with a 22LR upper running...

    Bad Influence

    I must confess... I tend to sway folks. I'd say at least 5 separate M&P15-22 purchases are my fault after letting the poor soul fire my 15-22s. They fall in love, run to the nearest LGS and buy one. Heck, 2 have wanted to buy mine off of me on the spot! Too bad S&W doesn't have a referral...
