    My New Model 19-3

    The biggest blemish on the gun is on the grip and after shooting it Saturday I discovered where it came from. The brass being ejected hits right there. (you guys probably know that already though) So the advise to get some rubber grips makes 100% sense and that is exactly what I will do. I shot...

    M&P 9 vs Glock 19

    Your hand and eye are not my hand an eye. Each is different and each will feel more comfortable with a different gun. I had never owned or even shot a Glock before until recently. I owned a Ruger SR9c and thought I shot it well... and loved it... and defended it against those I termed "glock fan...

    Just made my last trip to any gunshow

    I go to the movies and I pay around $10 bucks to get in. I go to the gun show and pay $6.00 and am just as entertained. I get to spend the whole day browsing and handling guns. Some that I may not get to see anywhere else. I also take a list of things I may need or want with the retail prices of...

    My New Model 19-3

    I saw this S&W advertised locally and approached the seller with a trade offer. I gave him a Ruger Sr9c with a holster and 8 spare magazines and got this model 19-3 +holster and about 150 rounds of .357 magnum ammo. It's the first revolver I've ever owned/shot and I love it. The SN is 7K...

    Stainless 586?

    I placed a maximum bid of $625. It sold to someone else for $700. Thanks for the info. I will definitely know a little more going in next time.

    Stainless 586?

    So does that look like a nickel finish then? The item description doesn't say and I just assumed stainless.

    Stainless 586?

    I don't know much at all about revolvers but I stumbled across an auction with many Smith & Wesson's available. About the only one I might be able to get in on is a stainless finish 586. From what I've read and seen on youtube the 586 is a great revolver but they all say it's a blued gun. The...

    M&P Shield extended magazine?

    I HATE ProMags for my pistols. I will never buy another as long as I live.

    Help. Slide lock not working when reassemble

    My Shield is a little finicky to reassemble too. I sometimes have to take the slide off and readjust the recoil spring assembly before it works smoothly. After a while you will get a feel for it and have no problems. Until then, don't panic if it doesn't go back together at first... just start...

    SW1911 guide rod recommendation

    Love mine. Plain Jane or not it puts big ol' .45 slugs downrange just fine.

    Concealed Carry Situation

    Thats kinda what I said earlier :rolleyes: That's probably what I'll have to do though. Thanks to everyone for the input.

    Concealed Carry Situation

    The safe idea might work best if I camouflage it somehow. Maybe in a toiletries bag that I can take into the bathroom as soon as I arrive and just before I leave. What I don't want is for anyone to know I'm carrying. We are talking about theatre people who typically are not pro-gun. The play...

    Concealed Carry Situation

    I act in local community theatre. The theatre is in a moderate to high crime area of the city. Michigan law says you can't carry in an entertainment facility that seats 2500 or more... Our theatre only seats 300 so I could carry if I wanted. My question is should I? I can't exactly carry my gun...

    Shield 9mm Or Others For CC

    I got a Ruger SR9c last December and it was great until about June when the Tshirts and shorts weather started. I started looking for something smaller.... single stack. Wanted to stay in the 9mm family because I already have reloading materials for that caliber. After shopping around I bought...
