    Won a Taurus M85 on GB the other day.

    I had one for a few years, but sold it due to hand problems. I had Pachmayr Compac grips on it and really liked them.

    When you're just cruising Gunbroker and throw a lowball bid with 20 minutes on the clock...

    My deal wasn’t on anything that nice, but I managed to get a Ruger LC380 with laser for $160. Long double action but shoots good and is pocket sized.

    Looking for a brush gun

    There are quite a few different directions you can go that have been offered here, but this might be a good place for a scout rifle.

    Lightening a trigger pull in DA

    The backstrap is covered. I think it's wearing Uncle Mike's grips and I have to say I really like those for comfort and how they fit my hand. For right now I've relegated it to range trips because I'm just too slow with it for self defense purposes.

    Lightening a trigger pull in DA

    Thanks guy, but the main reason I'm considering lightening the trigger pull is because I'm losing the strength in my hands due to a neuropathy, coupled with carpal tunnel in my dominant hand. Building the muscles is not going to happen, slow the loss maybe, but not build. I'd noticed that the...

    Lightening a trigger pull in DA

    I've got one of the S&W model 64-6 revolvers with the bobbed hammer that were on sale from J&G Sales a few years ago and I was wondering about lightening its trigger pull. The trigger pull is very smooth but heavy, so it's not needing smoothed up, just lightened up. Anybody done that on one of...

    Rubber Band on your pistol grip?

    I read somewhere that they put them there so that they stop the weapon from sliding down into your pants when it’s stuffed in your waistband.

    So, we're at the gun store yesterday...

    Bad breath range is right, just screw it into the bad guys ear and pull the trigger.

    s&w shield ez 9mm

    is there another 9mm pistol that offers a demonstrably easy rack and recoil experience? I have hand problems and really like my Ruger Security 9.

    Speed strips, what are you favorite?

    I carry five in my six shot speed strip, because I like the gap in the middle to hook a finger through. I think that you can load 38 special wadcutters in a 45 ACP mag, does anyone have an M1 carbine mag that you could try to load 38 RN into?

    Bigger grips?

    I did order the ATI grips and they're comfortable, but they're still just 2 finger grips. After a range trip, I think I'm going to rehome this little revolver and stick with full size weapons.M85 With ATI Grips by Shotgun Willy posted Sep 24, 2022 at 9:49 AM

    Ruger Security 9 Reliability and Accuracy

    I bought one a couple of years ago and out of the box it shot 5 inches left at 7 yards. I sent it back to Ruger, who put a new barrel in it and it's at least as good as I am, now. I had one stovepipe early on, but it's been flawless ever since. I wouldn't say it's a target pistol, but it's...

    Bigger grips?

    The Hogue grips are long enough, but my grip needs to be deeper (?) front to back, due to my hand problems. Cruising the interwebs I see a grip made by ATI, https://www.atioutdoors.com/product/x2-small-frame-grip/ that looks interesting. Anybody heard of someone that's had these?
