Both are good guns. The SP101 can handle ANYTHING you put through it and doesn't kill the hand. For a few ounces more you can get the 3" model which gives you a little more "bang for the buck". As others have said, SS is better for backpacking environment. I much prefer blued guns but love...

Here ya go - easy on blued stuff though... Birchwood Casey Lead Remover & Polishing Cloth Brings back original luster. Quickly removes leading, burn rings, carbon residue including copper and plastic fouling, rust and tarnish. Excellent for stainless steel, nickel and most metal surfaces...

fiVE Good to see you on the mend. I recuperated yesterday from a colonoscopy (which is nothing like you experienced and from a different direction :) ; it's a tough way to lose 3 pounds. Had to go "naked" as hospitals frown on 642s and patients high on morphine carrying... Go figure...

I put Crimson Trace on my 340 and it helped with the .357; there's an "air pocket" rubber spacing on the backstrap that goes against the webbing of your thumb/forefinger and it takes up some of the recoil. It's still not pleasant and I rarely practice with hi-power .357. My first round is...

Couldn't find it in the search so forgive me if it's been talked about before. I also have tried to read all 181 pages but.. Anyway, any interest in having "642 Club Numbers"? They do this on some other forums like GlockTalk, etc. Under your name it would say something like "642 Club...

I traded in my Glock for a hammer - but I keep the rubber tip on the end of it for safety reasons just in case... NOT!!! Seriously, I'm not quick or agile enough to do anything to a gun when adrenalin is pumping; getting it out of the holster at IDPA matches and pulling the trigger is about...

I never considered a revolver as I had to have at least 15 rounds to defend myself - LOL! Revolvers were what old guys shot on the police force and even they had to eventually upgrade to Glocks or whatever. THEN, a couple of years ago I bought a second hand 642 on a whim. It was nice and...

I vary what I carry with the weather, etc. I have a G19 that I carry in the cold weather, a S&W 642 for hiking (no bears), and a KelTec PF9 for hot weather/deep concealment. My consulting job started paying well this past winter so I went a little crazy and just bought a Les Baer Stinger...

Timely - just bought my very first 1911 and my primary is a G19. I got a Springfield GI pre-owned but never shot for $375 so:D For a range/HD gun you can't go wrong with either one. Don't worry about the recoil as you can get a full-size 1911 since you aren't going to carry it. Actually...

Glock 36 Glock 30 Ruger P345

Just shot my P-345 today and it is hands down, one of the nicest .45s I've ever shot. Ate everything and made 1 gallon plastic bottles dance at 25 yards. My very first mag put 7 holes touching each other (at 7 yards) and one flier three inches away that was operator error. I've shot the...

Ordered it in May but don't expect to get it until late August or even as late as October! I've owned 2 P11s, a P40, 2 P32s and a SUB2000 9mm carbine. Every single one has been flawless but if for some reason the PF-9 has bugs I'm willing to work with it and/or send it back for tweaks. The...

Range Report FEG SMC-380 Shot about 100 rounds through it without a hiccup. Silver Bear OK. Even tried some PowRBall CorBon and smooth as silk. I rolled some 100gr RN over 3.7gr of Unique and will shoot those within the week. This gun is very light and, so far, 100% reliable. The...

FEG SMC-380 Just picked up a FEG .380 slightly used $160 out the door! I happen to like the P64 9X18 and thought a .380 version would be nice; this is as close as it gets and it's smaller than the P64. I'll do a range report later. jAK-47

Thanks, I'll load 'em up and head to the range next week!:) jAK-47
