I often drop in a Storm Lake 9mm conversion barrel in my Gen 3 G27. I don't change the extractor, and it runs fine. Most of the time I use a .40 caliber magazine as well. I have a Gen 4 G22 that I put a threaded Swenson brand 9mm barrel in, and I did change the extractor to 9mm, mostly for a...
I have been in their store in Wetumpka. What you see on google is exactly like real life. I haven't bought from them online, but did buy powder while I was there. Inventory of guns wasn't real large, but the counter guy told me that most of his volume is online sales.
A Taylor’s Runnin Iron shown with one my early attempts at knife making. A farriers rasps with deer antler and leather handles sandwiched between brass fittings.
It was a revolver. I don’t recall the model number, their rendition of a J frame. It was chambered in .357 magnum. It would run .38 Special fine, but would lock up on .357’s.
I bought a brand new Taurus one time. It worked sometimes, sometimes it didn’t. I gave it away. I’ve bought Eight Glocks since then, and carried a few others Glocks that belonged my employer. I can’t imagine trying to decide between the two.
I currently have 4 of the double stack iteration, and recently sold the G48. (I”ll probably roll that money into a Gen5 G26.) After all these years of a Glock feeling a certain way, the slimline ones just don’t. I don’t have very big hands, but sometimes think my hand has conformed to hold a...

Except for this one. The only reason I know about it is because I wanted a Uberti with a transfer bar and could never find it locally.
When I was a teenager I sat on a little folding stool right in trail between two big briar patches. A doe came running toward me on the trail and right as I thought she would clobber me, I saw her eyes get huge, she then sidestepped and kept going. I waited all afternoon for a buck that might...
After having handled and shot Gen 5 Glocks without finger grooves, I find that I prefer them without better. I have a Gen 3 G27 that I’ve thought about sanding the finger grooves off of, but I just can’t make myself do a permanent mod like that. I’ll just go get a Gen 5, since I also like the...
I won’t carry anything smaller than a Glock G26/27. Most of the time it’s larger. 9x19 is my minimum. Either AIWB, or 3 o’clock OWB, depending on how I’m dressed. My pockets are for pocket knives. I won’t carry a pistol with a manual safety.
I used to be into revolvers and still have and love...
I have two now for about 10 months. I wear the black one with a G45, one extra 17 round mag, one pair of handcuffs, a cell phone and a badge. All with a suit and tie. The brown one is more for being dressed down. They work great. My only complaint is the buckle on the brown one is starting to...
I live on 38 acres and kill a deer or two every year. Also have another 58 down the road that I hunt. But now that we have gotten out of cattle, the wife and I are thinking about selling it and adding it to retirement savings.
Sometimes I put a 9mm conversion barrel in my Gen 3 G27. The factory .40 mags fees fine and hold two extra rounds of 9mm. But I would not use it for carry purposes because the top round can jump out from between the feed lips.
I’ve used a few files, and a whole bunch of farriers rasps. I heat them to a glowing orange. I used to touch them to a magnet, but now I can tell by looking. Bury them in the sand around my firebrick and forget it for a few days. Heat treating, the same color, not magnetic, then plunge into the...
