Sweepstakes Outstanding idea! BILL SHANER #2148

Sideplate difficulties Sam, you didn't by chance cycle the action with the sideplate removed just to see how cool it works, did you? Don't. The supporting studs for hammer, trigger, and rebound slide which are anchored into the frame and make up with corresponding holes in the sideplate are...

Buy it Piece looks marvelous. Buy it; it's worth it! BILL SHANER #2148

NRA's 140th Pittsburgh 2011 I can tell you this. Visited that display multiple times all three days. The S&WCA badge I proudly wore around my neck certainly attracted attention and people throughout the floor congratulated me for our Association's exhibit! Extraordinary job. BILL SHANER #2148

Right here! This is the place. I've had good fortune securing period stocks from collectors on this blog. A nut on originality I am. And, welcome aboard. You will enjoy this forum. BILL SHANER #2148

Cigar favorites Ashton VSG and Padrón 1964 are excellent. But my absolute favorite blend is the CAO AMERICA. Pair one with a fine Kentucky bourbon, such as Knob Creek... can't get much more patriotic than that. Cigar Aficionado web site has videos of cigar tips and techniques. Anyone...

NOT "speedloader cutouts" That is a VERY common misperception. Speedloaders can be employed in a revolver whether or not these cutouts are present. They are there for extractor clearance. BILL SHANER #2148

Not "speedloader cutouts" Folks, that is a common misperception. The cutouts are not for speedloaders, they are so the extractor star clears the stocks. BILL SHANER #2148

Second the motion for Tom Trotter Just received my order of prop rods from Tom and his work is first rate. These are just the ticket for display purposes. Securely packaged and timely delivered. Excellent fellow to deal with. BILL SHANER #2148

The infernal integral lock You will hear anecdotes of failures jamming up a piece as well as the "I've never had a problem" stories. Bottom line: it's an unnecessary mechanical device which can fail at the worst possible time. Not to mention a kowtow to anti-gun elements as much as warning...

.38 snub ammo Federal Premium Hydra-Shok 129-gr JHP. The M342Ti is easily the best "go-everywhere" carry piece. Depending on attire, I use an Uncle Mike's pocket holster, Galco waist pack, Ken Null synthetic shoulder rig (under the dress shirt "Superman carry," or a simple Galco strong-side...

Got it, Mike. Looks like BarbC's got you covered! BILL SHANER #2148

I'm paying attention, Mike. The "PA" caught my eye, but I'm not near the Poconos. CCW process should be the same statewide, so far as I know. What are the "new rules?" BILL SHANER #2148

1. Cases. Casings go around sausages. 2. Fact. Agree with Shawn. Shotguns and rimfires are another matter. 3. Get a revolver. BILL SHANER #2148

HOW does everyone post photos? I saw the instructions about 'Photobucket.' Still unclear to me. I also saw the warning at the end of the instructions regarding picture deletion. For this and other reasons, 'Photobucket' seems unappealing. I know how to "attach" a photo to an e-mail. The...

Bourbon thoughts Knob Creek: fiery, sweet, a deer season favorite. Woodford Reserve: elegant, smooth. Booker's: rich, intense, deserves a snifter. You fellows don't really dilute (pollute?) these fine spirits with ice, do ya? BILL

S&W .357 Magnums in Vanilla, Chocolate, and Strawberry

686s are excellent .357s and I'm fortunate to have collected 2½-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, and 8 3/8-inchers. Just missed a 7-inch on GunBroker because I ate dinner before deciding to bid, and someone made a 'Buy It Now!' BTW, cutouts on stocks aren't for speedloaders. That's a common misperception...

If you're a nut about originality (like me), don't mess with the 1911 and simply shoot round ball. You mentioned RN is reliable. Right. That's what the 1911 was designed for. Should you wish to employ a more effective round for defensive purposes, get yourself a nice SIG. It'll feed anything.
