Here is a 20 year old S&W 642. These can be a bit of a handful for recoil sensitive persons. To ameliorate that: Crimson Trace Red Laser model 305, larger grip, pocket to help cushion the blow. Buffalo Bore Standard .38 special instead of Plus P. Standard Pressure Short Barrel Low Flash Heavy...

This S&W Compact Gen One started its life as a .40. I decided to put a 9mm barrel and magazines into it. Night sites, Storm Lake stainless match grade. Runs well and is very accurate. XGrip mage extension cover, Viridian C5 Green Laser and LED light. Extended Magazine. Not so compact any longer...

S&W 9 Pro 5 inch. V1.0. Nice trigger, good capacity and very accurate. Knife is an ESSE 3Mil

How about a Kahr PM9 with CT Red Dot. One of the compacts that started it all. This was one of the first issues. It went back to the Factory at least once for a total rebuild before it was able to be a trusted carry. That's what you get for being an early adopter. This and a S&W 642 were my...

Works well and the grip does a decent job of recoil mitigation. I have them on my 340 and 642. 305 and 405 Models. IIRC.

This fits nicely in a hip belt pocket on an Osprey Pack. M&P 340.

Here is a S&W 686 CS-1, 3 inch .357. Beadblasted finish. Issued to the Customs Service in the 80s prior to Semi-autos. The 3 inch Models for the suits. The 4 inch for Duty Officers. Lots of history, This one was from someone in the Detroit area. Anyone else have one?

I have an additional 12 Mav for spare parts and tear it up and down. The last configuration as pictured was setup for a trip to Alaska via motorhome through Canada. As setup it complies with RCMP Regulations. Sort of surprised me with the extended magazine. Filled out the paperwork before...

I have a couple of field shotguns, Remington 870 20, and a Browning Light 12. These are the two dedicated to personal defense. Maverick 88 and the Shockwave.

At $489 after rebate it's difficult to resist.

RCMP approved travel through Canada to Alaska Shotgun.
