If only this were the issue! My problem is that it's illegal and the state would prosecute me. I'd go to jail for 20 years and being a convicted felon, I'd never work in a professional field so all my education would be a waste. But very nice setup, and a fine firearm. I am jealous.

I doubt it would drop "considerably" because the old Pythons would be regarded as "real Pythons" and the new ones, not so much, because inevitably there would be a mechanical change involved, likely one to accommodate modern manufacturing techniques. Part of the value of a Python is its...

I like my PF 9 more than I ever thought possible. I'd have executed that trade in a New York Nanosecond. Very nice!

Clearly, the personal tools we carry, such as say a cellular telephone, do lend themselves to a bit of aesthetic fancy. Consider the aforementioned example of the cellphone, available in 100000000^(A bunch) different colors, or with aftermarket faceplates, or with custom LED lights, or with all...

I agree it's about quality. Sometimes though you can find something that's works for your unique needs that's not very expensive. I have for instance a G Code holster. Yeah, it's injection molding. But for the purpose, it worked very well for me. Ditto on a Don Hume slide holster I have...

I'll be honest, the only S&W bottom feeder I own is the new M&P 9mm, full sized, no mag disconnect or internal safety and I love the thing. So I found the initial question vexing, the new autochuckers are the bee's knees. That said, I'd really like a classic 4506, 1006, 3913, and a couple...

Goon, I have a GP 100 compact, an SP101 with a 2" pipe, and I've shot my brother's 3" SP101. They're all fantastic. If you're used to fixed sights you won't be bothered one bit in all likelihood. All of them are "on" with the right 158 grain loads. If you're used to Kentucky windage, you...

I in fact have this very firearm for very similar if not virtually identical purposes. The GP-100 compact is my personal ideal "do it all" handgun. It's not necessarily my favorite for any one particular job, but it does all things I need I personally need a handgun to do. Every other handgun...

This just isn't true at all, I am afraid. http://www.snopes.com/business/genius/spacepen.asp It boils down to this: pencils were used at one time, however Fisher developed the pens on his own, and they are in fact superior tools for the intended application. This is not a case of...

I think we had a thread here not too long ago where someone who knew something about metallurgy pointed out some lab results that basically said the cast frame of the Ruger was in fact not weaker than the forged frame of the Smith and Wesson at all. The more metal argument doesn't hold up...

Well I'm not sure what version the 512 is, but I do own a Mk III 22/45 with the 4.5" barrel and fixed sights. I can't imagine our guns are terribly different even if they're not the same model. Takes practice. I've seen the takedown for the Buckmark and the Neo and the 22A, and to be...

Poor picture, the finish actually looks much nicer than this but here you go:

Yeah... uh... Guy, they gave you a very fair offer under the circumstances. Maybe not what you wanted, but pretty darn fair. They could have got back to you a little faster maybe, but I don't see what they did wrong. I know you're mad because you had a gun blow, that sucks, but sometimes you...

Hmmm I did not know that, I've never seen a Novak magazine in person. I tottally agree the Mec Gar marked magazines I have feel flimsier though compared to the factory magazines. That's kind of sad to hear, I'm used to Mec Gar being good stuff.

Thanks, that's a useful thing to know! Well just because I don't CCW the pistol doesn't mean I don't want reliable magazines suited for personal defense! What issues have you had with the Novaks rellascout? Is there a reason you use the older factory magazines instead of the newer ones other...
