    S&W Governor issues...

    I've also had issues with some .410 ammo in my Governor. He needs to try some different shells until he finds what works in his gun. Using steel moon clips, I've had no problems with 45 ACP. Also no problems with 45 Colt. Personally, I would not give up and return it without trying other ammo...

    629 Info

    What was wrong with the original front sight blade? It would be sturdy enough for rough use, especially if you've put in a larger diameter pin. If you need it to be more visible, paint it a bright color. Take a look at the Galco DAO holster. It's very popular, reasonably priced, and available to...

    Looking for paradise to retire

    Most books and magazine articles about finding the perfect retirement location could be summed up as "a small town in the south". In other words: Mayberry. There are many southern towns that are a good fit for me, but the best place for most of us is near our family and friends. Wherever that...

    69 vs 629

    If you can find one, a Mountain Gun would be my ideal .44 mag for a woods gun.

    I LOVE a Kit Gun.

    Skeeter Skelton wrote an article about "Trail Guns" in which he mentioned several of his favorites. At the end he wished for a J frame in .38 Special with a 4 inch barrel and adjustable sights. Unless I've missed something, we're still waiting for that one.

    Suggest some N frame stocks

    Thanks for everyone's input. Lots of good ideas. BTW, Altamont also sells on ebay and has some grips there that aren't available on their website.

    Who Doesn’t Like A Shiny New 1911??

    The Springfields with aluminum frames also come with ramped barrels in all calibers. Hollow points hitting a ramp on an aluminum frame can cause damage and feeding problems due to the softer material. SA and Dan Wesson (maybe others?) fix that issue with the ramped barrel.

    Suggest some N frame stocks

    Over 60+ years of shooting revolvers I have tried to find N frame stocks that fit me. The K & L frame target stocks are perfect for me but nothing I've found for a N frame works. Factory targets are too big and anything with finger grooves won't work for me. My latest problem is getting a...

    Thoughts on the CSX

    I like mine but it's not exactly like any other pistol. I've owned the SIG P938 for several years and it's only drawback was the single stack. The CSX is basically the same size top end but with a double stack frame. The trigger is different but I'm getting used to it. If you expect it to feel...

    "Illegal street racing"

    Big cities are also dealing with large groups of ATV's and dirt bikes speeding on the streets. It's gangs and flash mobs on wheels. LE can't cope with it. It's another manifestation of the lack of civilization in our cities and liberal politicians don't have any intention of fixing it.
