ammo shortage I first became aware of the MAIN reason for shortages of ammo to the general public and law enforcement agencies throughout the nation. Sure, there has been a shortage since the re-election of BHO due to hoarders and small businesses. The bulk of the shortage really goes to the...

I considered this method for some time but just could'nt get comfortable with the thought. I have the MP 40C. Watched several segments of You Tube w/ Hickock45 and found that he was using the Talon Grip on several of his pistols. Ordered one and received it this week. Very simple to install...

Like that post, even though I don't own 1911 ( I would like to) I do own two Smiths, a 642 and MP 40C and they are both great guns. There is still "just something" about a 1911. Reply to engineer1911

Well, you could thank them for the range test.

TPD 223, It is out there, but who wants to go "PREPAID", how humiliating! Have a good evening brother. Ed

Nicky 4968, I am with you l00% even though I don't reload. I thoroughly believe in technological breakthroughs.....but when did lead rn ammo. stop doing the job. As far as that goes .22 cal., as far as I know still kills. As Erich (also on this forum) says, it is all about shot placement. A...

Mika Hello, coach 22....just read your post in regard to pocket holsters. I ordered the Mika in 2006. When I first stuck it in my pocket I thought man this holster is just too big, and that was the end of that. I did not know that it would have to mould to the gun from carry. Just went and got...

follow-up on 4/26 reply to Wire Source Hello again. Well, I kept having the problem and decided to take a look at the crown of the muzzle and found that where the barrel is chamfered, you could see the tool marks which looked like striations in the metal. Last weekend I went to the dealer I...

Uncle Mike's grips My 642-2 came with that grip and I have not taken them off. To me, and from most of the posts I read they really absorb the recoil nicely. The S&W website has a rubber grip for this gun and I'm not sure who makes them but they seem to be a little glossier than UM's. Check...

snubbie accuracy When I got my 642-2, I went to our local outdoor range to try it out. Didn't take any targets, just a 1 gal. plastic jug filled w/water. Started at about 10 yds. to get a feel for the gun and realized quickly to get a good grip with the web of my hand as high as possible on the...

Barrel Crown buildup Hello, Wire Source. First time shooting my 40c ( 50 rds. or so ) the crown on my barrel looked normal. Second time (100 rds.) I noticed the very thing you describe and your pics. show. With the aid of a magnifying loupe I determined it to be leading, even though the ammo...

I have never been more pleased w/a handgun purchase than I have the M&P 40C. Once you and the gun have become one, so to speak, all of your concerns as far as negatives will disappear. Enjoy your piece.

Reply BAGS533, don't recall anything unusual as far as the cylinders....same as firing any jacketed round and the bore didn't show any lead, only the copper from the jacketing. Very clean to me. These were GA's reloads with all nickel plated casings. I shot these in a Ruger Security Six...

Ga. Arms In '06 I purchased 100 rds. of their .357 158gr. plated SWC, no problems with it. Also purchased .45acp swc which worked great in Smith 625-8. Just recently purchased a M&P .40c and have had difficult time finding hp rounds...no problem w/target rds. 180gr. Went to the GA website just...

Carry Ammo Remington 158gr. LSWCHP or LSWC + P 642

Relaxing moments and places Just sat down after doing about six things at once (so it seems) and here I am reading all these posts of relaxing. All of them sound so inviting and the very places to escape it all. I would love to see and be at each of them but I will, just for the moment be...

Hello to everyone. I have been a forum member for quite some time, just haven't been very active. I posted once in regard to WWB ammo, too long ago to remember the date. Forgive me, but when I get to reading the different posts I generally find any information I need and hence, fail to comment...

Sorry about not posting before. I thought I had once re: ammo and cylinder for 625-8. I have always had an interest in firearms. Have owned and passed on quite a few since early 70's. Currently own 625-8 JM, 642-2, Ruger Security Six and a Ruger Mark lll Hunter. I am a military veteran. Ex...
