I always watched "Hee Haw" on Saturdays and always enjoyed the wit and humor. There were always some very talented people on the program and the program was a pleasure to watch. I did not know that Lu Lu was raised in an orphanage, and due to her weight, she was never adopted. If I am...

I may be off target on this one, but other Model 41 owners have recommended CCI Mini Mag Standard Velocity ammo. I was in Bass Pro today and the closest that I saw was CCI Mini MagTarget ammo Was it the same, or have I missed it completely? Bill

I am surprised that there have not been any posts already on this subject. I received an e-mail from WSB in Atlanta yesterday: IRS tells millions to hold off on filing income tax returns – WSB-TV Channel 2 - Atlanta "For taxpayers uncertain about the taxability of their state payments, the...

This is a broad question regarding the practices of firearm manufacturers for post firing/pre-shipment firearm cleaning. It's not a thinly veiled question for me. I have only been collecting for ten years, and the Marine Corps taught me much better skills and higher standards. A relative...

I just received this information this morning. It may be beneficial for forum members who have already e-filed their 2019 tax returns and need to change the taxes due payment date to July 15th: How do I cancel or change the date a payment comes out on a return I already e-filed? • If you...

Just purchased a Model 686 CS 1 from Jim. Great communications from beginning to end. Revolver is in better condition than the pictures. Bill

I just received my copy of the "Spring 2020 S&WCA Journal" today. Over the past few months we've been posting information on this "Smith & Wesson Forum" site to have all forum members become aware of the many benefits that are associated with S&WCA membership, including the fact that we'd like...

Since "Super Bowl Sunday" will soon be here, I found an article in USAToday that ranked the "Twenty-Five Best Football Movies" (their opinion, not mine). I was pleased to see that about seven of mine made the list. Generally, unless "The Dawgs" are playing, I don't get worked up. I'm still...

O.K., don't shoot the messenger! Just in case that there are forum members that are not aware of this fact, Microsoft support for Windows 7 ends on January 14, 2020. [ Windows 7 End of Support Info - Microsoft ] This post is just a reminder of the upcoming "End of Support Life" date, to share...

I received this tonight from an old friend here in Georgia - read it over several times, and it sure sums up my thoughts pretty well. I can't speak for the areas where you live, but here in the Atlanta area violent crime is increasing. Drug deals and drug use is probably at an all-time high...

I just purchased a Ruger Security Six from George. Excellent transaction, and even better continuous communications. He kept me posted on the progress of my purchase every step of the way. George is an outstanding professional. Bill

I have not seen any forum posts at all on this subject. In the past six years that I have been a forum member, I have derived tremendous benefits from the exchange of knowledge and information from other forum members. I'd like to share some of the knowledge that I now have that could (or...

I am not sure how successful this post will be, but............. I need two or three red .357 cylinder protectors. The are for two collector quality revolvers. I believe that the original purpose was to protect the revolver during dry firing or unintended falling of the hammer. I have seen...

This past weekend I completed the semi-annual cleaning for all of my firearms. I'm not sure why, but in at least two situations I noticed that my 1911s had that "magic green rod" in the front sight, and in a few cases, the white high vis rear sight. IIRC, one of the goals here is to capture...

I'm asking for recommendations from forum members who have replaced the grip screw bushings for a full size 1911. I am considering buying another new full-size 1911 but it was manufactured with "uglier than sin", thin-line, dual ambi G-10 grips. I have called the manufacturer and they have...

I've been watching and waiting for the latest monthly Windows update to disable a "KB" that conflicts with my tax software. This morning I decided to go to Control Panel > Windows Update and run a manual update. However, when I attempted to do so I received the message "Windows Update Cannot...

I have a Winchester Model 1400 12 gauge shotgun that may need to have gunsmith work done to correct a problem with my safety and trigger. Winchester no longer provides service for this firearm and they have referred me to Midwest Gun Works. This shotgun is almost fifty years old, has only had...

While most of the forum members may already have their own distinct preferences for cleaning equipment, I'm sharing below some information that I have recently discovered. I've been cleaning firearms for over fifty years. In the past seven years I switched back to the Outer's rifle kits. They...

An old business associate has an expression that he is fond of using, and which I absolutely hate - "Nothing is forever!" I just received this e-mail notification, which other forum members have probably also received: To our Customers - Bass Pro and Cabela's Together : Cabela's I'll keep my...
