I've heard of this trick too....thank you. :)

I own several, bigger guns. I like the ease of carrying this and the barrel length. In a compact size I own an HK2000sk, Beretta compacts, Glock 26 and 19. I handled the Shield, XD and standard 365 and chose this, I like how it conceals. When carrying, I feel this will work very well. It's...

Not really no, so I'll be following the Youtube vids for suggestions of how to do it and I'm swinging in favor of using Windex which is also what a gentleman recommended when he posted on easy install tricks.

The Sigs are known for being easier to rack the slide. You need to google this. There's stories on a variety of forums about how difficult it is to put on, some going through three sets having ripped two in the process and calling Hogue for assistance. My hands have had injuries, and while I...

I'm sure Wilson makes good grips but I don't read anything where anyone said it increased the width in any manner. Has anyone else installed a Hogue grip and can suggest how to do this easily? I read about it being a PIA, and being a woman, I'm not going to have the hand strength of men for...

I'm not aware of any other grips for this gun. Curious if Pachmayr Tactical grip would work, but again, it might have the same issue and there may not be one to fit this gun. BTW, I notice the box didn't have anything to help with changing the grip module. Is this something you buy?

I just picked this up from the shop and glad I went with this over the standard as I didn't care for how small the other model was. This is somewhat bigger but still small. I'm surprised the mag release is a little different from what I'm used to. I'd like to put a Hogue grip sleeve on this...

Well, as it turns out, I mentioned to my parents that I was down sizing my collection and my father sat down to speak with me, and specifically asked about the shotgun. He said that he would "buy it" from me, which makes no sense. It is a comfortable gun to handle so I'll probably take lessons...

Very nice....here's mine with purple heart wood inserts made by Chad at Chig's Grips:

Interesting, I never realized that I could do that....

You're right of course. I'm a lousy photographer and it's night. It's a Remington Express Magnum aka Home defender. Pics below...

Yeah I know it is - what do they generally sell for? $200-300? This is just your basic Remy home defender, not the whistle and bells of shotguns being sold today.

I'm trying to downsize. At some point, I'd like to get into shooting clays but this is not the gun for that and I don't really have much of a use for it. It's barely used and just stays in the safe - and I need the room. What is a fair price for this gun?

I'm curious, how much more weight does a wooden grip add to the gun as opposed to rubber grips?

Very nice. I contacted Chad today and he's making me grip inserts for my SP101 in purple heart wood. Looking forward to it.... Edit to add: I'm thinking of getting these grips as well: https://www.altamontco.com/pistol-grips/ruger/sp101/ Does anyone have them? How do they feel compared to...
