    Found what appears to be the direct website and shot them an email. Radians Personal Protective Equipment - Radians G4 Junior? Shooting Glass Thanks for the lead. Now I wait until they reply with a size on the glasses.

    Light Primer hits with M&P9

    I will have to find the manufacturer contact info on the Radians and see if they can give me a width spec on them. Thanks, I don't think I saw those before. Can't remember, either Gander or Cabela's had the T10's and they were too wide. The temples were pressed by the ear muffs and held the...

    Light Primer hits with M&P9

    1. Been there. Menards, Home Depot, Fleet Farm, Farm and Fleet. None have child sized safety glasses. 2. Adult prescription safety glasses are common and easy. Child size are not. I too tried wallmart but they only have reading glasses and of course prescription frames. The only thing...

    Light Primer hits with M&P9

    Always nice to see youth out shooting, but do not forget safety, Eye Protection. Van wears them during IDPA matches and usually with the long guns. I didn't notice until later (after the photo) that she had them off and laying under the towel in the foreground. Thats me in the background...

    Light Primer hits with M&P9

    There are only two lubes I use. Froglube and Hoppies #9. Until I get all the problems ironed out on the M&P, its staying with Hoppies. My Sig is all froglubed and running like a sewing machine. Anyway, thanks for the heads up on the striker lube. I usually lube up strikers and pins with the...

    Light Primer hits with M&P9

    I am a 2nd hand owner of the M&P9. It supposedly came from gunsamerica and this posting appears to be identically worded from what he sent me as the title: S&W 9mm M&P Internal Lock Magazine Safety Variant 17 + 1 Br for sale (989324717) An Apex FSS trigger was installed by prior owner: Apex...

    Speed loader for 15-3

    That looks pretty much like what I need, yes. And that is my plan. There is a match this weekend my SIL invited me to go with him to (his first as well). I will be using my Sig P226 and my granddaughter may use my Walther PPK but I am unsure the PPK holster is legal. They are 5 shot strings...

    Speed loader for 15-3

    Me either, I have never shot IDPA. Going this weekend with my Sig 226EE with what I have. Supposedly they are pretty loose on newcomers. I was looking for something for my 13y granddaughter. She likes (loves) the 15-3. I have brass and dies to reload it. I got a Walther PPK in 380 and ammo...

    Speed loader for 15-3

    I was considering getting equipped to run some IDPA with my old 15-3. Does someone have a line on speedloaders for it? And what about belt pouches and holster?

    Model 15-3 reassembly problem

    Nope. Just a user. Bought the basic kit that has 4oz of the liquid, 4oz of the cream, a brush and a microfiber towel. Got it off ebay so I didn't even buy it direct. I also find it hides finger prints as well too... Apparently if you do leave fingerprints, the FL will break them down just...

    Model 15-3 reassembly problem

    Not trying to convert anyone to frog lube, just my guns :) Do your research, test it yourself, make your own mind up. I have come to the realization that the kids hate Hoppies and love Frog lube. The smell and the feel. In fact, after cleaning with frog lube, you will notice your skin feels...

    Model 15-3 reassembly problem

    Actually, those are the reasons I changed it over to Frog Lube. It does not attract dust and grime. I typically use the paste on the frames/receivers and bore. The liquid I apply to moving parts like bolt and actions. I was extremely skeptical of it at first and did a hell of a lot of...

    Model 15-3 reassembly problem

    Thought I would pop in with a range report. I had a chance to fire it at the range this past weekend. Absolute dream. Again :) It appears that the cylinder stop was indeed the culprit and straightening the spring made it all happy again. I ran a few rounds through slowly checking for...

    my Viet Nam Veteran Combat Masterpiece Model 15-2

    If I am not mistaken it wasn't entirely the M16's fault. From what I have heard and read it was a change in the type of powder in the ammo due to funding cuts. Insufficient testing of the changed powder in the M16 resulted in ejection problems as well as increased fowling. They also changed...

    Model 15-3 reassembly problem

    Well, I figured my total lack of correct terms, whipping out a hardened dental pick and jumping in and taking it apart without complete instructions would have provided great delight to some. I operate on the assumption that I was not the first to encounter this issue and I won't be the last...

    Model 15-3 reassembly problem

    Thank you Dan. Really appreciate it. It feels good when you can figure out a problem and then figure out the solution yourself. Its kinda a pride thing, man and his machine. And thank you for the graceful hints on proper names. :D The main spring you see in the photo is as it was when I...

    Model 15-3 reassembly problem

    The only thing I can think of is the spring might have been bent for decades. I was in there cleaning the hell out of it best I could without disassembling it and that meant using #9 and a toothbrush to aggressively scrub it clean. Then I used a trimmed acid brush to apply frog lube before...
