As a bit of anecdotal corroboration, I had the opportunity a couple of months ago to assist in a Citizen's Firearm Class conducted by one of the local Sheriff's Offices. There was an elderly lady and her husband who had come out to participate. The husband had a Glock 19 that he was able to...

At the risk of starting a flame war, I think Clint Smith is a much better marketer than firearms trainer. After watching his handling of revolvers and smaller "back-up" style guns on a segment shown on PDTV, I was underwhelmed with his his handling abilities and marksmanship. If you're gonna...

I don't see where Atlanta politics affect the rest of the state, Atlanta and Georgia are nothing like Chicago and Illinois, for example. I live in Jackson County, about fifty miles from downtown Atlanta, traffic is bad when school is in. I-85 has well over 1 million vehicles traveling it...

Originally posted by zavrina: Great, we got ourselves a troll. This oughta be interesting... So zavrina, by what convoluted piece of logic did you come up with that opinion? Actually, are you willing to reasonably discuss this at all or are you one of those rabid, vitriolic type people...

Originally posted by ChaoSS: CHaoSS, I did think it through, I've been there, done that. You call the cops, they want you to stick around while they fill out the report. Agreed a paper trail is a good thing but, it's 2AM, I'm familiar with both the location of the incident and the...

Couple of questions: kyo, what part of atl? Either myself, my wife or the two of us take our son to a movie about once a month. Granted, we don't have him out that late but, it would be good to know the genereal area. Heaven forbid you were more worried about your date than standing...

Heh, this thread's been around for two years, and this is the first time I've seen it.... Go figure. My 686 CS-1 along with holster and stuff. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt86/Wheeler686/Picture001.jpg Best regards, Wheeler

This is my 12-2. I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine. Best regards, Wheeler

Ummm, that's a 12 not a 36 or 37.... Wheeler

My 686 CS has a 2 61/64" barrel. :D Wheeler

Ya'll have to remember that Britian is a nation of subjects, they have been for the past millenium or so. It's tough to think for yourself when the concept of caste system is ingrained in your genetic code. While we laugh and ridicule the brits and aussies, it's only taken us since WW2 to...

OK, I've held off long enough. Here's one of mine Not a true snubbie by most some's definition but, it's short enough for me. :D Wheeler

I have yet to run any full house .357's through mine however, I have put some 158 gr. LSWC through it and found it comfortable to shoot. I would think that it would be along the same lines as the K Frame S&W's. A steady diet of high performance loads will cause metal fatigue after some time...

Xavier, How much you want for that pig sticker? Wheeler

I recently had a gentleman offer me a H&K P7M8 in good condition along with 3 magazines as a stright up trade for my 686 CS. I thought about really hard for about 10 minutes, and said no. Wheeler
