    Quality Control

    All the comments about “DEI hires” are just a cheap shot. Quality is the responsibility of management and I’m willing to bet that the management of S&W is overwhelmingly old white guys. The “old curmudgeons” mentioned? They’d be fired because they couldn’t do the work fast enough. Not...

    9mm Snub-nose

    What’s vague? Seems pretty clear: yes our previous 940 was pretty ****ty. Our manufacturing tolerance sucked and we didn’t use the right materials. But we’ve fixed that now.

    6906 revived

    Be aware that there was a recall on the grips. You can find info using your google skills. IIRC, the new grips his small impressed dot just behind the magazine well. When I checked with s&w a few years ago, replacement grips were not available.

    Driving through a non-reciprocal state?

    I'm not a lawyer but... the text reads "shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm". As I understand it, a question may arise as to...

    S&W Sport II - assistance in mounting a light needed + Optic recommendations

    I would 2nd the suggestion of the Romeo 5 for all but going-to-war use. However, I have read of a number of counterfeit Romeo 5s. A google search can teach you how to spot them. I'm not sure why they would go to the trouble of counterfeiting a relatively inexpensive Romeo 5 vs. an Aimpoint or...

    Recommendations on Preserving M3 Holster

    You may want to look into what is used to preserve leather binding’s on rare books. I remember seeing some specific products recommended a while ago, but cannot remember the name of them.

    Taurus 82: worth it?

    Have 2 Taurus handguns. A G2c 9mm and a Model 85 2" .38 (not the lightweight version). The G2c has feed issues initially, was sent back to Taurus, and is now very reliable. No issues with the 85. Neither are as well finished nor as pleasant to shoot as my older S&W or Colts. But for the...

    CHOOSE KITCHEN KNIVES WISELY!

    Any discussion of which style of knives has to depend on what you cook. Admittedly some, like a paring knife or a 6" stiff boning knife, are universal (and a chef's knife if you actually cook). I have one relatively short butcher knife because I like to cut loins into steaks and chops, but...

    Feeling more secure with a revolver vs. a semi-auto?

    For anyone considering a handgun for self defense for the first time, they are presented with loads of options for SA pistols. And advertising. But very little for a revolver. Add to that the cost differential between a plastic 9mm and a.38 Spec revolver.

    22 Victory , Worth Buying?

    Short answer- yes. The more recent ones are more reliable than earlier ones. But as good as your M41 and Volquertsen/Ruger - no. I went from a M41 to a Victory because the M41 with a compact red dot was getting too heavy. The Victory is “plenty good enough” for my gallery matches at 50ft...

    Ultra Reliable Sub-Compact 9mm

    Funny. Years ago I was looking at the used handguns at a local police supply outfit. An officer with one department or another looked at me and said "Just buy a Glock". But I bought a used 6906 anyway.

    Looking for a cheap, small, laptop

    I have had good experiences buying refurbished Dell Laditude laptops directly from Dell refurbished. I always get the Grade A ones as they generally spend all their time on a desk. Dell regularly sends out discount coupons of 40-48% off. The Latitude is their “business grade” so a bit better...

    What's the most reliable vehicle you've owned?

    My 1969 Chevy Nova. It’s a proven fact that a feature your car doesn’t have never fails.

    I thought that the price of using a credit/debit card was the interest payed.

    This was a common stipulation by the CC company that applied to all types of businesses. The agreement with the CC company forbade charging extra for use of the CC. Not a law, just part of the agreement. But usually a cash discount was permitted (same thing, different name). A federal law in...

    Yes. But what is worse is flag as clothing.

    Does anyone shoot anything other than 9mm?

    I pick up my .38 and .45 to reload. I don't bother with 9mm as it really doesn't pay to reload.

    Driving through a non-reciprocal state?

    And as soon as we have national reciprocity, those living in Wyoming will say rules that make sense in NYC make no sense in Wyoming. And might very well be right.
