    The best defensive handgun nfor civilians ...

    Yeah, I remember this thread being longer. I bet it's just a glitch. I don't recall anything remotely offensive.

    The best defensive handgun for civilians ...

    Nice post lawboy, I have a 66-1 and a 19-3...both in 2.5" barrel length...great classic guns! Do you have a preference between blued and stainless?

    Quick question: Ruger DAs have internal lock?

    I have an SP101 I bought a couple of years ago without an internal lock. Do current production DA Rugers also not have a lock? I think this is the case since on the website under the .45 semi-auto P345, they explicity state that there is a lock. Can someone please confirm? My...

    Gunblast Reviews the S&W 431PD/432PD and .32 H&R Mag Ammo

    I have the 332, discontinued awhile back. It is a nice 6-shot alternative to the .38 snubby.

    Wheelguns Alive and Well in Houston PD

    That's interesting. I've also seen a female officer in my local PD that carried a revolver. Appeared to be a stainless S&W with Hogue rubber monogrips. Couldn't tell for sure what model, but it didn't look like a 686. Probably a .38 Special K-frame. It also didn't appear to have a 4"...

    Speer 135 grain +P in 442?

    That's what I have in my 442. I believe I have heard any K-frame and up with a model number is okay with +P, not the J-frames.

    Duty/Service Revolvers (real or imagined)

    Just curious what people would choose if they were put into a LEO role and required to choose a revolver as their primary duty/service sidearm. For the sake of this thread, the revolver can be something that is currently in production, a model that was produced in the past, or a model that...

    Is there something off w/ my AR15 rear sight?

    My guess is the rule is in place to increase perceived safety. It's a sad state of affairs in my neck of the woods. The pistol ranges around me have rules such as no rapid firing, no double taps, and no targets that resemble humanoid shapes (bullseye-types only). I can understand that the...

    Is there something off w/ my AR15 rear sight?

    Thanks guys! I live in such a gun-unfriendly area that there is only 1 range that is relatively close. Unfortunately, it is usually always packed, and they have rules like no more than 1 round in the mag. The next closest range would be a couple of hours away, which makes it hard (for me)...

    Is there something off w/ my AR15 rear sight?

    I bought an AR15 last year when "the ban" ended, but a year later, I still haven't found time to get to a rifle range. In any case, I'd like to make it a point to start practicing with it soon. I noticed the rear sight on my AR15 is slightly askew. Is this normal?

    What do you think of the Sig P228

    My P228 is one of my favorite handguns. I had the opportunity to rent a P229 at the range recently, and I felt the 228 was much better balanced for me. Of course, it's probably due to the fact that I am more experienced with the 228. Haven't yet had a failure.

    642's stainless cylinder - big reason to buy 642 over 442?

    I went through something similar before I settled on the 442. I tend to like blued guns as far as looks. Unfortunately, at one point, I didn't care for the 442 properly, and small patches of rust developed on the outside of the barrel, as well as on the edges of the cylinder flutes. At that...

    Hip Grip or Lip Grip Advisable for Steel Snubbie?

    I have 2 sets of Lip Grips for my M64. Definitely prefer them over the Hip Grips for look and feel. Totally comfortable and concealable for me. I think it would be fine for daily carry if you so choose. A good belt is a must. Also, the Lip Grips are a bit thick. I grew to like them, but...

    Sig P228 & Glock 17/19 comparisons

    I actually was able to rent a G17 at the range this weekend. I was very pleasantly surprised. At one point, I only shot single stack semi-autos, the double stackers always felt really big for me. But now that I've put in some time with the P228, the G17 felt like a perfect fit for my hand. I...

    Sig P228 & Glock 17/19 comparisons

    MK11, thanks. I was asking about G17 vs. G19. I already have a Sig P228. I was just using it as a size comparison, since I find it relatively easy to conceal. If the G17 is truly close to the dimensions of the P228, I'm guessing the G17 is equally easy to conceal. That would be great since...

    Sig P228 & Glock 17/19 comparisons

    I'd like to get either a Glock 17 or 19 next (1st Glock). I'm trying to decide between the two. When I'm able to, it will be for CCW. I can comfortably conceal a Sig P228. Most people seem to compare the P228 to the G19. However, taking a look at the dimensions, the P228 seems to be...

    Model 64 price check

    Sounds high to me too. IIRC, NIB ones were recently found in the mid 300s at Davidsons. These were the "older" models without the 2 piece barrel.

    Question regarding carry gun oiling logistics

    These might seem like silly questions, but I'm relatively new to semi-autos. So, I have a Sig 228 that's been 100% reliable since I got it. Since I can't carry in my state, it's solely been a range gun. I clean and oil after every range trip. No problems. However, let's say eventually...
