Thanks for all the replies. I don't think I will be testing the waters any time soon.

While standing in line today to pick up some packages and I noticed the guy in front of me was open carrying a Glock in a Serpa-style holster. He was not in any kind of uniform. If he was some form of LEO, he was either off duty or under cover. Have I been misinformed about the law regarding...

Been thinking it is about time to add a shot timer to the range bag and was wondering what y'all use. This would just be for myself and wife to use, no matches or club shoots. What features do you like about yours? Where did you get it? Is it sensitive enough for dry-fire practice? All of...

A looooooong time ago my wife and I were camping in Great Basin NP during the off season at the end of a remote loop. About midnight we heard crunching in the gravel outside our tent like someone or something was trying to be sneaky. I thought it was a 4 legged critter since there was no other...

Thanks again. I knew there were some smart folks here!!

Thank you.....Time to go shopping!

I have several AR-10 and AR-15 rifles with scopes mounted on a flattop receiver. My problem is lack of finger clearance to get a good purchase on the charging handle. By the time I get the scope positioned for eye relief, the scope is sitting right on top of the charging handle. Do I need...

Wife and I were setting up the pop-up camper on the Mogollon Rim in AZ last summer. Had our three dogs with us. All of a sudden, the dogs start going ballistic. I looked around and 50 yards from us sat a black bear, just watching us. I start yelling "Get the camera!" and the wife yells "Get...

I used one a few months ago when I was flying with my pistol. I used the lock to secure the hardside box to the frame of the suitcase.

Flagstaff has Ruff's, Pistol Parlor, and Horizon. Pistol Parlor does a lot of custom work. I drooled over one of his 1911s a while back. We are on a first name basis with the guys at Ruff's. Heck, I think we have put at least one of his kids through college! Been to Horizon once, but wasn't...

A word of warning......if you fit yours as snug as I did mine, it will be a bear to get back in when you strip and clean the pistol. Everything has to be lined up PERFECTLY. If your extractor is not rotated exactly correct, the FPS will not go. Takes me a few tries to get the extractor lined...

I put one on my Mil-Spec and it made a world of difference. I put a very small bevel on the bottom where the hammer rides against it, and, along with stopping the clocking issue, it helps reduce felt recoil. May be my imagination though, because I have no real way to prove it other than the...

Thanks everyone. I may have hooked up with a member on another forum. His prices are better than the online stores and he has them in stock!

Thanks for trying guys. Seems we have a bunch of night owls here. I already checked Midway, Brownells, Top Gun and one or two others I can't remember. They are either backordered or they don't appear to carry them. I didn't realize that model S&W was so popular. The class is coming up soon...

The wife wants to shoot her Smith and Wesson Model 4526 in an upcoming defensive pistol class. The class requires a minimum of 3 mags, and recommends having 4 mags for your pistol. Our problem is we only have 2 mags for this pistol. Does anyone have a source for mags that would work? It is a...
