    Do you have a belt that looks like this ?

    I've noticed quite a few old guys, with no belt, on cargo pants with suspenders & a very heavy, lumpy right Pocket.

    Finally obtained my CCW. Bobbed hammer or leave it stock? Model 65-3, 3 inch.

    I rarely carry, & live in the country. I smile a lot, & have good manners. Consider this - I carry when I'm in strange territory - or ATLANTA. In my 78 years I've never had to draw a gun - SO COMFORT IS IMPORTANT & PRACTICAL. HOWEVER; I do not feel under-armed - my Fiesty DEPENDABLE MAKS, they...

    What was your first Smith and Wesson??

    20 years ago, As an Educator, & a Department Head, I had a number of work-study "Monitors" to assist with menial duties. One such helper, mentioned he had inherited a .45 caliber S&W revolver. Then mentioned it made him uncomfortable to have around when he was depressed. Still not sure whether...

    Finally obtained my CCW. Bobbed hammer or leave it stock? Model 65-3, 3 inch.

    I will not own a DA only revolver for obvious reasons. I do understand the hammer spur snagging clothes argument. The above type with the shrouded hammer is a sensible way to have SA/DA in a concealed revolver. I own a Taurus Clone in .357. For personal C.C. I prefer my Russian Makarov, or...

    Aluminum Case Ammo

    One of my semi-auto pistols failed to eject it properly. I still have the rest of the box somewhere. Can't recommend it.

    Do a search on line, There are a bunch of stainless S&W Police trade-ins with many of the arms dealers now - some very nice looking french contract S&Ws Prices seem fair enough to get a couple. Happy hunting, C.

    Stock Maintenance

    +1, I also prefer Minwax brand Tung oil - to linseed oil, as linseed oil can get very dark. Tung oil penetrates, dries & protects without darkening. I have restored gloss grips by stripping, fine sanding & building up Gloss Exterior Polyurethane - done on these used grips I refurbished - to...

    Beater guns?

    When I was saving up for, & seeking a decent S&W 1917 (or Brazil 1937) - I happened to see This Nickel plated S&W K frame .38 spl. At my Friends Pawnshop. IT set back my savings - but I had to have it. About 50 years ago I knew an elderly detective who was on desk duty. He had one exactly like...

    Ruger PC Carbine

    The RUGER seems very similar to the MARLIN RANCH CARBINE I had. I went through a number of options - until I chose MY IDEAL Carbine in 9mm. They were very cheap 2 years ago, & are still reasonable. They are knock offs of the Swiss B&T our Military just bought - which sold me. I have been...

    Your opinion on Bodyguard 2.0 vs LCP Max?

    Apologize for being 78 & opinionated. Modern plastic offerings with many small parts & springs are unacceptable for ME. Here are my CC Favorite Choices - accurate & reliable 9x18 mm (is more potent than .380). >I own a pair of Russian Makarovs (Bulgarians are identical & cheaper) one is 9x18...

NEW inexpensive AK - 12 ga. clones - will all accept folding accessory stocks. The Turkish Clones are really nicest, & under $400. SAD - they don't import ANY...

    Home Defense Shotguns

    EXCELLENT POINTS. I enjoy the one excellent folding shotgun I own, but long ago - about the time I became a home owner - My thinking changed. I realized my homeowners policy would not cover damage to home or belongings - damaged by owner defending the "castle". Rifles & Carbines are long for...
