On the Bobcat I do have it on the half-cock notch when carrying hammer down on a loaded chamber. It’s clear to me that it keeps the hammer physically off the firing pin even if it’s not as fancy as SIG’s rebounding hammer design.
This is correct. S&W and Walther were partners once but they’ve since parted ways and Walther now has their own offices in Arkansas and S&W produces the compact model all in-house here in the USA.
So my intention is to carry chambered with the hammer down, I’m a big fan of the double action carry mode for the safety aspect as well as the mechanical aspect of removing all stored energy from the gun, so it’s practically impossible for it to fire by accident. So I feel without a firing pin...
So I bought one of the surplussed Beretta Mod 81s from Classic and didn’t realize it was the first gen with no firing pin safety, as opposed to something like the 81BB.
Anybody have any reservations about carrying one without the firing pin safety? Because I figure the more you handle and carry...
Well the P229 was designed for the .40 S&W and was SIGs first model to feature the one-piece milled stainless slide, so it’s just a beefier gun to begin with and not fair to compare the slide weight to that of a stamped carbon steel P228. A more fair comparison would be a West German P226 slide...
I shot my Walther PPQ for the better part of a year before taking it out of my CCW rotation but during that time I replaced the stock plastic sights with Dawson precision fiber optic sights and I added Traction Grips because the top part of the frame that the thumb and index finger wrap around...
The Walther PPQ is my favorite polymer pistol, probably the absolute best in its class. It’s phenomenally accurate and carries well, and of course the trigger is amazing. But I went back to carrying a P226 because the trigger is so light and short I could never warm up to carrying the PPQ with a...
I’m a big fan of the legacy P226. This has been my EDC for the last 7 years. I have approx. 25,000 rounds fired through it without a single malfunction if you can believe it. It’s a 1988 date code. The only changes I’ve made are adding Trijicon HD night sights, new style hammer strut, Wolff...
Hi all,
So an update on this revolver, I lengthened the arbor just enough to make the barrel bottom out on the frame at the same time as the arbor, but I’m now left with a cylinder gap of 0.017. Should I shorten the barrel where it meets the frame at the pins or would a shim behind the cylinder...
Well I shot it a little bit, seems to shoot a bit high and to the left but I was still able to hit some steel silhouettes at 15 yards. Not too shabby!
I used 15 grains of Triple 7 with bore butter over the ball, the gun had almost no recoil and shot very consistently.
Hello,
I just picked up a Colt 1851 Navy .36 from Navy Arms Co. I can’t find much information about this revolver other than it’s a repro of a Griswold & Gunnison Colt 1851 knock-off made in the south where steel was scarce during the civil war hence the brass frame. Can anyone tell me anything...
The lower was made from laser cut steel plates sold in kit form by the Flat Spot. It was fun, interesting, and a headache at the same time.
The upper is a PSA with a 16-inch barrel and carbine gas system, a combination I absolutely despise for its awkward looks as well as excessive dwell time...
