Does anyone know if the Tactical is offered in .38 Super?

.38 Super/9x23 conversion? Resurrecting this thread for the above question. Do you think these pistols (4" or 5") are suitable for barrel swap conversion to .38 Super/9x23? I have .45 1911s (Para P13 and STI Trojan). I love them. Just intrigued by this idea. I've been thinking about this...

I have always wondered how much ammo justifies a new weapons platfrom purchase....;) Hah. Enough to meet my minimum desired load up for a SHTF rifle with leftovers.:p Not that I was writing tongue in cheek or really needed a justification.;) Thanks for the tips.

Elite Match Fun Chiming in. I have an Elite Match I've put a few hundred rounds through. One failure to go into battery on the first mag which I attribute to break-in, and flawless since. I have some 9x23 and a stiffer recoil spring, but haven't tried it yet. This is actually why I bought the...

Current vz%* market/prices Greetings, everyone: I don't own a 7.62x39 rifle, though I've read a fair bit by default on gun forums, including most of this thread. Most of my experiences is with ARs, bolt guns and non-VZ/AK platforms. I came into some ammo, enough to "justify" ;) a rifle...

If you've seen any of Oleg's previous work, he's created numerous posters of people protecting themselves with "normal" firearms. I happen to think reinforcing the principle is more important than the tools used, and I see a normal person using the best tools he can to perform his most vital...

Larry: Any buzz from STI re: the revival of the VIP, or any other new offerings? Thanks, SADShooter

I just got one today (ordered Tuesday pm!) for my Para P-13. It is the first IWB holster with which I can comfortably carry this brick of a pistol. The workmanship/finish is excellent, and Comp-Tac's customer service is outstanding. They will get more of my business,

Do current Colt Supers use a ramped or unramped barrel? I assume they are unramped, but I'm curious as I'd like a Lightweight Commander to run 9x19 and 9x23 through, and I'd rather start with a cut frame for a fully supported 9x23 barrel.

I have no input except to say I would very much like to hear the results of this discussion as well. I have a 590 w/Speedfeed which is too long for my relatively short arms, and a similar recoil aversion. SADShooter

John: I can't speak to the K-frame question, but I have been very pleased with a Kramer Belt Scabbard I bough used for a Colt Pocket 9. (For which, incidentally, you sold me some magazines a few years ago...) I think a similar holster would be an excellent choice for your revolver, assuming...

"Never go willingly to crime scene #2."

Way to go, Daina! She observed Rule #1 of Assault/Abduction: Never go willingly to Crime Scene #2.

Core Issue is the Relationship... I wouldn't be hunting today if I hadn't married the woman I did, since she owns the property I hunt on. :cool: That said, she's an integral part of what makes it pleasurable for me. Hearing "Good shot, hon" and talking venison recipes is better than...

Forgive what may be a silly question: What is the purpose of the rings stamped into the belt clips? Do they increase rigidity? Edited to add: Gorgeous leather work, BTW.

I thought the name "Moroney" in the thread title was a joke.

MrTuffPaws: Sorry to disagree with you, but: "Jon Stewart, brilliant host of "The Daily Show"" sums it up even more succinctly. I think Stewart is funny, but when the man who thought himself qualified to be President calls satire on cheerleaders brilliant, and an accurate comment on the...

kj: I've got your back, buddy. (And the entire Sharpe's series on VHS). Excellent, even if the plots got cheesier toward the end. Albert Finney as a cigar-chewing, slipper-wearing gangster toting the inexhaustible Thompson in "Miller's Crossing" is always a pleasant, if silly, diversion.

sumpnz +1 I don't expect my dog to fight/sacrifice himself to protect our stuff. He's there to bark as a deterrent. Failing that, I want him to keep himself intact. I DO expect him to fight to his last breath protecting Mama, if the attacker(s)/ get past me /or I'm not there /(or Mama...

Pantry commando here. I'm not scrawny by any means, and my wife, who likes to eat, eats very well thanks to my "slaving over the hot stove" yadda yadda. ;) Growing up, my father retired and took over the cooking chores with a lot of fresh ingredients and a willingness to experiment. I got...
