I picked mine up at Sportsman's Warehouse for $600. Palmetto State Armory is selling them for &600 also,.but you can't ever get to them before they are sold out.

How's your charging handle? Mine is a bear to pull back. Maybe there's a trick or maybe it just needs a little lube, you know, plastic on plastic.

Just comparing the pics of yours to what I see in mine, I think what happened is they pushed the roll pins in from the top hole and didn't push it in all the way until it's flush with the bottom hole. Then maybe the roll pin didn't fully pass completely through the groove in the firing pin.

I know it's a pain but I think it needs to go back to S&W to get another bolt. Your bolt seems pretty buggered up compared to mine, which doesn't have a mark on it.

Ok, I took an opportunity and tore into the gun a little. My bolt face looks like new, no hammer marks at all, completely flat. It is, unfired though. If the firing pin was just lose, floating in there, I can see how the bolt face may take some abuse from the hammer. The firing pin is definitely...

I wonder if someone bent the rollpin while installing it, like maybe s&w uses a press to put it in and something wasn't aligned correctly. I would take mine apart to check but my wife and I are kid sitting tonight. If it were my kids, they could help me do it, but these are not mine.

I was curious and did a quick impromptu firing pin test. The firing pin popped out strong enough to dent the end of a sharpie and send it about 4" straight up off the bolt.face, so at least my firing pin is there and working for now.

I don't usually OC myself but when I'm out and see someone carrying, I appreciate it. As a fellow citizen in the same vicinity as an OCer it helps me in a couple of ways, It lets me know who else around me may be armed, and it takes attention off of me if a bad guy notices someone else carrying...

I just picked one up today, haven't had a chance to shoot it yet. So was the firing pin not installed or was there a crosspin or something missing? It doesn't look broken. Maybe I'll tear mine down before going to the range just to get a look inside, I really don't know how it all works in there...

In contrast to some here, my closest call involving a firearm was from a LEO who held his pistol to the side of my head. Pretty helpless feeling having a gun to your head while someone yells "stop resisting" while someone else tries to drag you out of a vehicle you are seatbelted into.

I just picked up an FPC from Sportsmans Warehouse. Where can I get a hold of some more 23rd mags? S&W really has a mess going on with their magazines. Can't get extended ones anywhere even though you know they exist, can't get the 2.0 compact spacers anywhere except one little store on Ebay (for...

When slowing down to a stop I'll use the brakes or compression to slow the vehicle, then I'll down shift one or usually two gears as I'm slowing. Down shifting doesn't burn up enough clutch to be a factor if you also use a little brake to reduce your speed, share the load, brake and down shift...

I had one of the new bodyguards for a short time. I had high hopes, it felt good in my hand, it even shot well, then I noticed the cylinder and trigger would lock up under certain circumstances, so it was no longer of use for me so I traded it in. There are threads explaining the details.

I would stay away from cast bullets in the G42, for the reasons stated.above. There are other high powered 380 rounds that will function as they should out of a G42. I carry Underwood 90gn +p XTP in my G42. The Underwoods are loaded pretty hot, out of a 3.25" barrel they have ballistics better...

ladder13 has spoken...........

Releasing the slide was not the only issue with that pistol, as I said, It was very difficult to drop the mag, there were gouges across the follower and the slide didn't want to lock back on an empty mag. My first thought was it must've been the wrong mag for that gun, like someone stuck a...

I wasn't all that invested in it.

I had the opportunity to call and direct fire for A10s at 29 Palms Marine Corps base once. We had an observation post set up on a ridge overlooking a target in the valley. When the A10s circled to come in we were actually above them as they made their run. I've called fire for naval guns and...

My wife doesn't want to carry. She considered it, actually got her license to carry, and did an honest appraisal of herself and decided that she wasn't sure she could take someone's life. I wish she felt differently but I respect her honesty and I'm glad she understands the seriousness of being...

SOLD Hogue laser enhanced grip for round butt j-frame. Model 60080, red laser. Works as new, comes with everything as new, all is as new. I'm selling because it's too large for me to pocket carry. I don't have any pics downloaded yet but I can provide them to anyone who's interested.
