I just got home from Academy Sports and Outdoors where I was ready to buy a Mossberg Maverick 88 Security 12 GA for $219. The young man at the counter asked if I had any government ID with my full middle name instead of just my middle initial like a passport or my Social Security card. He said...

I put a Hogue monogrip on my Taurus 856, changed out the stock main & trigger springs with Galloway Precision replacements, got a Galco Hornet holster, and decided that I may as well carry a nice knife. It is a Buck'N'Bear Mini Hunter with a 256 layer, full tang Damacus blade with walnut scales...

Just mounted an old Weaver K2.5 on my KT SU-16C. Now, I have to zero it. Sent with some arcane communications device.

Sometime during the morning of October 28, 2021, my wife of 47 years passed on in her sleep at home. She had been in hospice care for 13 days after the doctors said she was too far gone for a liver transplant. I am devastated, but life goes on. I have my children, grandchildren, my...

What's the most annoying thing about carrying a Makarov? For me it boiled down to the typical European heel-mounted magazine release which had two problems: 1) it was a ***** to change magazines because a) heel-mounted, b) heavy spring, and c) sum***** was sharp! And 2) being sharp, it would...

Odds of me going back to work are slim, but open carry is certainly an option if things "go South." With S&W SD9 holsters being in low demand, I put this together with Bianchi products. The Accumold jacket-slot holster is for a Glock 19 and joins the PatrolTec generic double stack magazine...

Does anyone make a threaded barrel for an SD9? Asking for a friend...

Canceled. Will try later. Thanks.

I can only pray that the Smith & Wesson revolver gods will forgive me. I just came into possession of a brand damn' new black SD9 Self-Defense Hi-Viz Fiber Optic 9mm, and I like it! It is an Academy Sports & Outdoors exclusive and with my military discount it cost the same as the plain two-tone...

Found a limited selection of ammo yesterday at Atwood's in Owasso, OK. Picked up 100 round box of Federal 9mm with interesting packaging. Zip strips? Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk

I have a WW1 Mauser bayonet manufactured in Erfurt in 1914. I inherited it with a Mauser Kar.98a that my grandfather brought back from France after he was gassed at St. Mihel. (The carbine was manufactured in Danzig in 1911.) I just now noticed what I believe to be a unit marking on the guard...

Oklahoma's Constitutional Carry Law became effective at 12:01am today, November 1st, 2019, despite a legislator's effort to get an emergency temporary injunction. The legislator's lawsuit against the new law is still pending. The same legislator led a petition effort to stop the new law from...

I've started carrying a Ruger EC9s as my in-town EDC. I bought it, apparently unfired with one magazine and no box or paperwork, at a pawn shop across the street from a casino. I've picked up two more magazines, a 7 round and a 9 round, a DeSantis holster, and a Hogue Handall. I also painted the...

Picked up an apparently unfired Ruger EC9s at the High Limits Pawn Shop in Calera, Oklahoma, across the highway from the Choctaw Casino and Resort yesterday. No box, no paperwork, and only one magazine, but I paid $175 and and tax so I was out the door for less than $200. Plan is to hit the...

Well, since I didn't have anything else to do this morning, I took the plunger and spring for my Model 469's magazine safety out of the top of the slide and recentered the rear sight. All function checks normal, so I guess I didn't screw it up! Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk

Went to the Wananmacher's Tulsa Arms Show today, and got in free by renewing my NRA membership. Stopped by the S&W Forum booth, but Lee was apparently out and about. Did have a nice visit with a Floridian by way of South London, but failed to get his name. Did learn that the SWCA annual meeting...

Understanding that I might need a dovetail cut for the front sight, what are my options for replacement sights for my Model 469? I would prefer night sights/fiber optics, but don't want to go broke or double the price of a shooter. Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk

I recently picked up a 1983 vintage S&W Model 469 after not having/carrying a serious semiauto pistol in about 20 years. My dilemma was I didn't have any holsters. Since I needed something right away, I ran down to the local Academy Sports and Outdoors to the holster aisle. Guess what? That's...

Big swap at LGS got me a S&W Model 469, serial A867053. Interested in a shipping date. Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk

HB 2597 passed the OK House and Senate, and Governor Stitt signed it today. As far as I can determine, the effective date is November 1, 2019 (11/01/2019). Therefore, don't start carrying before that if you don't have a Handgun License. Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk
