My S&W 19s are original classics... Edmo

Although I often carry higher capacity semi-autos, my pocket carry option is still a S&W Airweight J-frame. Below is my Model 642 with a Galco holster. Someone once said, “The five shot revolver is at best a two bad guy gun in a three bad guy world.” I still like my snubbies! Edmo

Congrats on the great training and obviously outstanding support there... As another southpaw I couldn’t imagine running any of my 1911s without an ambi safety. Edmo

As you may know, an AR chambered in 6.5 Grendel uses all standard 5.56mm AR15 parts except the barrel, bolt, and magazine. Based on that, if you wanted to “build” your own upper there are a wide variety of parts from many manufacturers available for your build. You can pick and choose to...

Drop in vs kit? I have both and here are my thoughts... Years ago I bought a Timney drop in. It is a single stage trigger which breaks at around 3 pounds and is in the rifle on the left. This gun is chambered in 5.56mm and just yesterday it was putting standard Federal XM193 ball ammo into...

I like my S&W Model 19s... Edmo 4” S&W Model 19-5 (Top), 2 1/2” S&W Model 19-4 (Bottom) 2 1/2” S&W Model 19-4 4” S&W Model 19-5 and AR15A1 out hunting

I needed something for scale and it was handy. One of my favorites also! Edmo

Someguy, your tote solution really follows the KISS principle. Well done!! As an added bonus, you can carry stuff in it as well. Edmo

For those of us who reload and find ourselves chasing brass from semi-auto rifles off the bench, here is my $12 solution. Materials list.. 1/2" PVC from Home Despot & laundry bag from Wally World - 3 x 24" sections of pipe (they sell them in these precut sections) - 2 x 90 degree elbows - 4 x...

A couple of ARs... Left one is a 16” in 5.56 and the right one has a 18” barrel in 6.5 Grendel. Edmo

The 6.5 Grendel is shown below sandwiched between a 7.62 NATO and a 5.56 NATO... The 6.5 Grendel easily maintains 1,000 foot pounds of energy out past 300 yards, has very low felt recoil (similar to the 5.56), and it’s short efficient case fits in a standard AR action. The 6.5mm bullets have...

Are you searching for an effective whitetail cartridge with little to no recoil? Want one that carries 1,000 pounds of energy out past 300 yards? Looking for a cartridge designed to work in a standard AR and you only need to swap the barrel, bolt, and magazine? There is a cartridge for you...

The S&W Mountain Gun will have “Mountain Gun” etched on the right side of the barrel... I purchased this 629-5 version new around 1999-2000. Edmo

I've owned an LCRx 3" for over a year and recommend it... Some of the features I like: Very light weight, 3" barrel gives better velocity and longer sight radius than the snubbie version, adjustable sights, easily replaced front sight, smooth trigger stroke, chambered in an effective and...

To the OP's original question... I own and carry both a GLOCK 43 and various snubbies (J frames & LCR). Here are my thoughts on these two options. I am a fan of the 5 shot snubbie and carry one when I want a small, light carry option. The revolver has a stupid/simple manual of arms and it...
