Thanks for the posting. I have received no information regarding retiree qualifications during the lockdown. I contacted a friend who is still active and he said all firearm qualifications for working officers have been suspended. I’m scheduled for a June renewal. I’ll call then and see what...

17 works for me on Ohio groundhogs. But, like others have said, on windy days, forget about it. On ideal calm days I usually stay within 75-100 yards. For a top notch scoped rifle shooter it will reach further in flat open country. It's also nice due to the low bang and lighter rifle weight...

What a great solution. Just enough to help. No costs. Thanks.

My crooked arthritic fingers are making it difficult to pull back my P229 slide. The Sig stock recoil spring weight is 16 lbs. Can I get a reduced spring weight that will help me pull back the slide? I only shoot factory 115 grain ammo. No +P ammo used. Let me know if this is a bad idea, I...

Can you imagine being part of the millennial generation and having no clue who is Doris Day? She was simply class! No actress of today comes close. Thanks for the true talent and memorable movies.

Your county Sheriff is a convicted felon? How can that be, does he carry a gun? Can he vote?

I bought one, a police trade in model 10 years ago, with one mag for $300.00. I think you found one reasonably priced.

No one wins in that situation. But, that homeowner better damn well be able to articulate why he grabbed a gun and fired at a flashlight beam. I have no doubt those on scene officers identified themselves. My department wears white shirts and white hats. At one time, we tried switching to...

Palmetto State Armory website is selling the Shield for $299.99.

That has real character. Personally, I would load it and keep shooting it as is. Call S&W for the year of manufacture and ask their opinion on the finish and/or warranty possibilities.

Are you an experienced handgun shooter? How old are you? Good eyesight...can you see the sights? Steady hand? Stance?

A google earth check of his house, what an excellent idea. Unfortunately it didn’t help in your case, but I learned something good from a bad situation. Glad to hear the different LE agencies are helping you. Good luck.

The local Cabela's has trigger locks on all handguns and rifles, including lever actions. :mad: I tried looking at a revolver and a rifle and the staff will not remove the trigger lock. Stated it was store policy. This includes the used gun section. No test drives. WTH! :mad: No more...

My Ford truck is better than your Chevy truck. Oh yeah, my Dodge truck beats both of your trucks. :roll eyes: Opinions...

All answers as I thought, it is his opinion. My take on his comments are is concerns regarding poor parts and workmanship compared to the older models of the pre 90's era. I like S&W guns, I have owned several revolvers (mostly older ones) and never had one that I simply had to dump due to...

I was reading (and looking at the awesome photo's and drawings) in the new expanded 5th edition of Jerry Kuhnhausen's S&W Revolvers Shop Manual and was amazed with the volume of information. All very interesting material for S&W fans, but when I read his FINAL EDITORIAL COMMENTS (page 205) I...

At my department: walk in the range, show clear firearm, walk to classroom, BS and see how some guys are unrecognizable due to old age, fill out paperwork, back to range, grab target, is the line ready, target turns…Bang; score target, get new updated qualification card and leave until next...

Holy ****! That sucks big time. :eek:

All of us old retired cops have many valid concerns regarding the rules of issuing of a valid "Retired Officer In Good Standing Conceal Carry Card". My concern is those young warrior cops who have no clue about HR218. Especially if stopped by an outside agency or maybe worse stopped out of...

I'm amazed at the different course's of fire, lights, no lights and round count each individual state has adopted for different departments. When I qualified per HR218 (over 20 years ago) we shot 50 rounds, in light, no light, and beacons on in the dark. Now, it's silly, still timed, but only...
