    Mernickle customer service is top notch

    I ordered a "thin blue line" pocket holster from them for my Walther CCP. It was lovely, but too tight. Details not really important. I sent it back with my list of corrections and BADDA BING BADDA BOOM, a new replacement holster arrived. WELL DONE, SAYS I!!!! :cool:

    Another interesting scam

    So, I get a phone call from folks who tell me that one of my credit cards has been compromised. They have lots of information, so I work with them. They help me determine which credit card has been compromised. With the complete understanding that credit card fraud doesn't really scare me, I...

    How cool is your state's driver's license?

    This new thread in the Texas Hunting, Fishing & Shooting Forum caused me to have to check my driver's license: https://smith-wessonforum.com/threads/dmv-gripe.745913/ For the first time, I noticed that on the back of the license there is a cannon! It is a "Gonzalez cannon" and here is the...

    Flagging and muzzling and ???

    I do not use either of those terms to describe a situation wherein someone has inadvertently pointed a firearm at someone, at the range, while in the field, whatever. I think that there is a third term, but for the life of me, I cannot come up with it. And you say..............................?

    Beretta 950 BS issue

    This post in this Forum has several members discussing issues with these little Berettas: https://smith-wessonforum.com/threads/pocket-pistol.739598/page-2 So I want to post a specific problem that I have and ask for comments. I carried my 950 BS .25 ACP mouse gun for decades. At the range I...

    Old time TV guns

    Well, somewhat old-time, anyway. I enjoy watching police-type dramas from back in the mid-20th century and a little later. Some old westerns, too, but their guns are always the same. So, take the other day on Spenser For Hire - 1985 - Season 3. Episode 1: Twice, there's a confrontation...

    How to clean a burnt revolver

    As many of you know, I had a house fire in 2018. Most of my firearms survived thanks to a Browning Pro-Steel gun safe. One nickel-plated Model 10, my living room self-defense gun, did not fare so well due to being hidden in a wooden cabinet. Anyway, I forgot about it until the other day, when...

    What will this military ramp-up do to regular ammunition?

    Machine pistols or machine guns not covered by the Second Amendment?

    This goes hand in hand with the suppressor thread from today. The question I have is whether or not the fact that it was a tricked-out Glock had any bearing on the decision versus a fully automatic rifle. This is another dilemma for the Supreme Court...

    Bug out plans redux

    There are many of these threads........prime example: I continue to have no idea what y'all are talking about. Unless you do not live in a large city, or you are on the outskirts of a large city, and/or you have your own little farm/ranch or friends way outside of town, and advance notice...

    Ammunition choice - dead horse, maybe - J frames only - .38 Specials only

    Let's keep it simple. You carry a J-frame. Any model. You load .38 Special only. Any other caliber need not apply. What's your ammunition choice and why? How you carry the gun is not an issue. For starters, I've been carrying a M649 stoked with Mag-Tech 158 grain FMJ-Flat cartridges for...

    Collectors Firearms - another new LGS

    Up from Houston to Dallas, they opened a 5000 square foot store just up from the Galleria. It's so big I can't even begin to explain it; huge, like big box stores like Cabela's or Scheel's north of Dallas. Scheel's in the Colony is a story in an of itself!!! Anyway, you name it, they had...

    What to do after an endoscopy? Buy a gun!

    Seriously, my very good gun buddy and FFL drove me to the endoscopy. No big deal there. Then he tells me that Jackson Armory in Snider Plaza (you can look it up; URL is not permitted) has a Smith & Wesson I have to see. EEK! I'm really not buying guns much but, okay, make me go see it...

    Identify this cartridge?

    As you can see it is a .223 made by Winchester. The issue is the greyish-black metal tip. What is it/what is it for, etc?
