Interesting thread... Those that really can do, like to see pictures of targets... (Braging rights)... Those who can't shoot their own big toe off always challange ... What does it matter?

It is a matter of personal choice... My 4" S&W M-19 has the target trigger and hammer.... This is the gun I had when I carried a badge... That being said, both my 2" S&W M-15 and my 6" S&W M-629 have standard hammers and polished very smooth triggers... I love all three... My reasoning for these...

I also had an AMT Backup... It is the only handgun I have ever sold... I sold it very much for the same reasons you state...

I flew the bush in Alaska for seven years back in the 1980s... For big bears, I carried a 12 GA Coach Gun loaded with slugs... I also carried a S&W M-629 in a shoulder holster... A light weight 9MM shouldn't be necessary... When we went to the wilder places, I carried 44 SPL HP Reloads that...

It has been my experience that handgun shotshells produce about 1 inch spred for each foot of distance. Rat at 10 feet, pattern would be about 10". Patterns tend to be doughnut shaped too. I like shot loads for snakes, but hunting rats might be a cahallenge. The use of Speer pastic bullets ot...

Bought mine off a tank driver about to return to the states ... Sold it when I left...

I should have also included references to other threads on the Waktz kit. Here is the best of them. http://www.dayattherange.com/?page_id=5338 George and his friends were looking more at accuracy where terminal performance is where my emphysis lies. It is a good report that is well worth...

Sounds like my old hunting buddy ... A real sensitive guy. Steve

I build models... About 35 years ago I bought a sight insert kit that used a plastic that would set up when poured into a slot filed into a front sight blade. I installed a red insert into the front sight on my M-19. After I dressed it out I engraved a groove about 1/32nd inch wide and about...

D-Rock Kit (Part 3) Derek also provides two sizes of (Hydra-Shock type) post HP The Large post produces a HP about the same size of the Kelly Scorpion point. It does differ in the width of the space around the post My hopes are that this will give improved modest expansion while providing a...

D-Rock Kit (Part 2) Like the Kelly die set, the reforming causes a tight fit in the die. In both cases, the forming rod is used to push the cartridge back out of the die. The D-Rock cartridge extraction is much easier. First you turn the press adapter to station three where there is a hole...

The tools Paco Kelly Acu’rzr My first tool was the Paco Kelly Acu'rzr bought back in 2007. I casually played with it for a while, but always put a serious test on the back burner (until now) Paco Kelly PO Box 1170 Cortaro, AZ 85652 http://www.leverguns.com/store/acurizer.htm Paco's kit is...

Back in 2012, I posted this to another site. Here is a slightly edited copy of that post. Accurizing 22 Rimfire Ammunition - Do the bullet modification kits really work? I've been involved in several discussions about the 22 long rifle on a couple of the discussion group sites that I visit...

We belived that it was probably a fox. There were lots seen around camp. It is also interesting how a small group cut off from civilization for an extended period of time will find inventive ways to justify the huge consumption of alcohol... Steve
