    Boot recommendations

    When I had my business I wore the waterproof Red-Wings. Excellent wear and very comfortable. However, I alternated wear with Timberlands. Not as comfortable, but I didn't want to wear the same boot every day without at least 24 hours of internal dry out time on them.

    Canine diabetes

    In the 70's I had a Weimeraner that was diagnosed with diabetes at about age 4 or 5. To make a long story short, we gave her insulin subcutaneously every day and regulated her diet. She lived another 10 years. She had a good life and was a very happy puppy. You can do it and your dog will...

    Kydex for an M&P 9c ?

    kydex I bought a 9c in January, 2012, and with it a leather Blackhawk IWB holster. It was not comfortable and printed. I, then, bought an Old Faithful IWB holster that was Kydex with a larger leather backing piece. It is a very comfortable holster to carry the 9c. It distributes the weight...

    How to finish rosewood?

    I have never finished rosewood grips, but have finished guitars. As said by various other people, Rosewood is a compendium of woods. It is an open grain wood; meaning that you can see the grain as looking like a series of very tiny spiderweb open canals. First, determine whether you want to...

    M&P 22

    I have had one for about one year. I use the 22 to warm up and then shoot my 9C. The 22 has the same general ergonomics, though the recoil is significantly less. (:- All-in-all, a fun pistol and good for training. The trigger barrel pin tends to ride out sometimes, but otherwise there have...

    Mags won't drop freely

    I've noticed this with my 9C also. I have 10 mags and feel it is the mag. One can stick, while another drops free. I have been looking at the follower on the magazine and think it may be just a hair to wide, but have not shaved anything from it to test the theory.

    Cast iron skillet seasoning advise

    Another solution is to first clean any baked on food. Then, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees and pour a little peanut oil into the pan. (Peanut oil has a very high heat capacity.) Shut off your oven and leave the pan in until it has cooled. Do a good job in wiping all of the oil from the...

    Picked up an M&P 22 and now a problem

    I have an M&P 22 where the roll pin under the slide started coming out, also. I gently tapped it back in with a punch. It shouldn't be coming out, but it did. I did not want to send it back to S&W.

    Tactical Handgun Course

    Thanks for the three responses. I think the answer is to use the 12 bullet magazine for courses. There is no problem with their falling from the grip. My thoughts were to get practice with the full sized magazines, since my intent is to carry the 9c with the 12-round mag and use the full size...

    Tactical Handgun Course

    I just completed a first level tactical handgun course using my 9c. My question for the experienced community has to do with reloading. The instructors specifically tutored us on keeping the muzzle pointing at the target, pressing the mag release with one hand and slapping the new mag in place...
