Thanks for the offer, David, but I've already decided to sell it. It's a nice pistol but it just isn't doing it for me. I probably would have tried the curved backstrap grip before I bought the Hogue, but I couldn't find one anywhere. I guess I'll just keep an eye out for a 45XX series at...

Quick and simple question to all the 3rd Gen Smith owners. What is the difference in grip dimensions between the .40 full size (4006, 4003, 4046, etc) compared to the .45 full size, specifically the 4" 4566/4563? I ask because after wanting a 4006 for years I finally picked up a 4006TSW...

Simple, and possible silly question but I couldn't help posting... I recently learned about Buffalo Bore's 9x18 +P loadings. Now, I have a PA-63, that I would not shoot anything over 95 grs out of it, and I would not shoot any thing +P out of it. But I am considering buying a Bulgy...

Thanks for all the help, guys. Now, and forgive my ignorance, how similar is the Mod. 82 to a S&W Model 10? I know I read somewhere once where Taurus started out making S&W clones under contract but since acquiring this gun I haven't been able to find that same info. I'm am no revolver...

So is the Model 82 from 'good' years at Taurus (with S&W watching...) before QC got iffy?

This gun was given to me for temp-to-perm safekeeping by a friend. It belonged to his father who now suffers from Alzheimers. The old man's son and grandson are borderline anti's so the gun fell on me since I'm apparently the only 'gun guy' they know and/or trust. There is no visible model...

Hey, Hondaboy, if you need any help with the PA-63 let me know, Ive done some spring work to it, added grips and carry it regularly. Its a great, no frills, small gun but its accurate and if you take care of it it wont fail you. Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks Delta but I was hoping for info on kydex holsters...

The other day I had to make a quick run to pick up my g/f and, on a lark, I decided to grab my 40VE Sigma instead of my smaller usual carry piece. Thing is, I don't have a holster for my Sigma, I just tucked it in my belt and off I went since I didn't figure I'd be getting out the car. To...

1943 Izzy M38, all numbers matching, counter-bored, and corked. I love this rifle. I love how it's so fun to shoot and I love how other people are afraid to shoot it. And the looks I get at the range are priceless. I don't want an aftermarket stock and I don't want a scope. I like the...

Official Old Thread Resurrection. I have made up my mind. I want to buy a brand new Charter Arms .38 Police Undercover (6 shot snub) My uncle used to have a 6 shot Police Undercover model back in the 80's at his store and I played with it when he wasn't looking, so upon learning that...

Just got back from the range. I'm getting better groups at 50 yds now, next step is to see what I can do to smooth out the trigger. It seems that the new Russian LB I have is a bit more accurate than the Bulgy LB. The Silver Bear 203 gr soft points are a whole different animal, they...

Thanks to all. I was lucky enough to get a pretty good deal on the rifle, ammo included, and its been a blast to shoot. I love the looks I get at the range and I love to see people's reactions when they feel the blast and see the ball of fire :eek:

The target is about 2'x2', a paper target on a wooden frame. And I can assure you that those are 7.62x54r bullet holes at 25 yds. I don't blame you for being doubtful... Believe none of what you hear and half of what you see...

Thanks! I already tried the tutorial, it didn't work too well for me, the clips either need a break-in, need some oil, or are no good. No biggy, I didn't pay much and I've only had them for about 8 hrs anyway. To be honest I'm pretty quick loading the mag from the stock sleeve, even though so...
