Are there any options to mount a light or laser on a S&W 659 built back in the 80's?. It has no rail for mounting. I was sure that back in the day, I saw such lights or lasers that would clamp onto the trigger guard. Yet I cannot find such an item at the major vendors. Perhaps they stopped...

I did a search here and did not find very much on the Ruger American 9 mm pistol. If anyone has an opinion on it as a nightstand/HD/maybe carried pistol, please share your insights. I am also pondering the differences between the American and the SR9.

My Taurus Protector Poly in .357 has arrived. Some quick initial impressions: fit and finish on the polymer is not as good as on my Ruger LCR, it is very lightweight, the cylinder release is going to need to be cycled a bit in order to loosen it up, the fiber optic front sight is quick to...

I recently bought a 2016 manufacture date stainless New Model Blackhawk in .357 with the 4.62 inch barrel. I was looking for a flap holster to use as I go bushwhacking through the wet part of Western Washington. After doing some measurements, I decided to give the UM Sidekick large frame hip...

I picked up and installed the Hogue 83000 monogrip. I am underwhelmed with the fit and the difficulty in installing it. I found a video on the Hogue site suggesting using two business cards as shims while installing it, but there is still a perceptible gap at the backstrap insofar as the grip...

I have a Colt Sporter SP-1 that was manufactured in the early 1980's. It has the original stock on it. I have been pondering a collapsible stock. Does the Collective have a recommendation for an excellent quality collapsible stock that I can install? I am looking for something well-made...

I just came back from Cabela's, where I bought a couple Magpul PMag 30 M3 with window magazines. I had been reading as to the USMC selection process, when they recently picked this model, so I decided to try them out. I looked at Cabela's, and did not really see a .223 Mini-14 equivalent to...

I have a new Crosman/Benjamin 392 inbound. I solicit the opinion of the experts here for the best scope and mount for it, for say $ 100-150 total. I will be using this for casual plinking out to 33 yards and pest control out to about 25 yards. I have middle-aged vision and wear glasses...

From today's (10/25/09) Seattle PI: Seattle 911: A police blog http://blog.seattlepi.nwsource.com/seattle911/archives/182116.asp Is Washington an open-carry state regarding guns? Q: I have a concealed-weapons license and can carry a handgun on my person concealed. Can I carry the same...

DGS is selling the LCR at $ 499 for the Hogue grip and $ 699 for the Crimson Trace grip. Any other Seattle-area prices for the LCR?

For the last couple of days, upon opening up taurus armed net, I get an error message that the user has been banned due to Yahoo Spider. I am assuming that the website has a problem. Does anyone know?

Based on some comments in another thread, I found a new indoor range in Bothell, Washington, opening up in the summer of 2008. The details can be found here: http://www.shootingsportsnorthwest.com/index.html This looks very intriguing, and I will await the opening with great interest.

I have posted here before about the use of a small flashlight as a kubaton. Since I am often in government buildings on business, my conventional kubatons generally do not pass the security screen. Since I have not been happy with the many flashlights I have used as a kubaton, I am still using...

I found a blog entry describing a new single stack 9 mm polymer pistol from Taurus: http://michaelbane.blogspot.com/2008/02/little-bitty-pretty-onein-9mm.html I suspect that the blog entry is incorrect describing it as single action. DA/SA perhaps, consistent with the current Millenium Pro...

So I bought a copy of the '2006 Complete Book of Autopistols' last night. In there was an article about the 24/7 Compact vs. the full-size 24/7. I went to the Taurus website but could find no listing yet for the 24/7 Compact. So what exactly is the difference between the 24/7 compact and the...

The Everett Herald, in today's (21 March 2006) issue, printed a story about outdoor shooting in the Sultan River Basin area: http://www.heraldnet.com/stories/06/03/21/100loc_b1shoot001.cfm The gist of the story is that shooting in that area is illegal and the Sheriff's Office will be stepping...

On the local TV news (Channel Five out of Seattle) last night, they were reporting that Cabela's is apparently planning to build a mega-store right off I-5 in the Lacey area. Lacey is about 60 miles south of Seattle. In the greater Seattle area, we have a crying need for some 'big-box'...

Rather than poach on the existing vehicle pistol box threads, I decided to start a new thread. I have one of the COM pistol boxes for my car and am reasonably pleased with it, except for having to keep track of the key. But I like the reliability of a mechanical combination lock (without any...

I searched in this forum and others, and did a Google search without much success. I understand that Federal is no longer making complete rounds in the Nyclad .38 ammunition line. Perhaps they have discontinued all the Nyclad ammunition lines. Does anyone know if the Nyclad JHP 110 or 125...

So who went to the WAC show this last weekend? Did the new building work out well?
