    Grips for Model 67?

    Didn't Pachmayr make two different sizes of Presentation grips? I have large and medium for my N frames and my Python, but I don't know if they were made for the K frame. They only make one size now.

    Why people think Luger P08 is pretty??!!

    Like some others, I like the grip angle, because it points "naturally". But it falls down mechanically from the toggle mechanism, and its propensity to garner dust and dirt in the action. The Ruger Mkxxx (non-22/45) .22 is a fine example of a "Luger style" pistol with a well-engineered...

    Shooting thru a barricade at a home intruder

    I have read the link in the past, and I've read some of Mr. Ayoob's books. I'm also very aware of his teachings on self defense. PS - I also interviewed several attorneys to insure that the one I wanted has expertise in firearms and self defense laws.

    Shooting thru a barricade at a home intruder

    I'm always happy to abide by the rules of the forum. I will not, however, have discussions I've had with my family doctor, and my retained attorney referred to as "Worthless hearsay. Let's hear from them first hand." We are not in a court of law. We're in a public forum. And, I'm not...

    Shooting thru a barricade at a home intruder

    Then please cite some cases you've personally handled in criminal court. Your profile shows you as a commercial attorney, with a background in medical insurance.

    Shooting thru a barricade at a home intruder

    Let's keep this in the real world. First, you are never the best judge of what medical care you need, especially after any type of traumatic experience. I did not go to medical school, and I'm not in any position to judge my medical condition after trauma. That's what the MD's do for the...

    Shooting thru a barricade at a home intruder

    In our CPL class we were taught the following: When calling 911, do not admit to anything. Ask for medical help and police at the address. If pressed by the operator, repeat request for medical help and police. When police arrive, admit to nothing other than your name and address. Make...

    Shooting thru a barricade at a home intruder

    Why in the world would one plead guilty to murder, and then try to defend their actions? That's what the legal system is designed to do. Killing someone is not necessarily illegal, and all killings are not murder. Murder is a legal term. And legal self-defense does not mean one can't shoot...

    Shooting thru a barricade at a home intruder

    I didn't write, nor imply, that the occupant could create a "free fire zone" (your words). Nor did I imply that that it was a "license(s) to kill nor get-out-of-jail-free card(s). The Dearborn Heights case is a poor example of castle and self-defense doctrine. The home owner was hoisted on...

    Shooting thru a barricade at a home intruder

    The home owner, in Dearborn Heights, was convicted in large part because of his inconsistencies in statements provided to the police. He was confused at times, and he didn't get an attorney until after he was arrested and charged by the prosecutor. He was also his own worst witness at trial...

    Shooting thru a barricade at a home intruder

    In Michigan, the occupant of the dwelling does not have to establish the intent of the person who has broken into the home, and the home owner is under no obligation to determine if the intruder is armed. And, in some cases, entry to the home doesn't have to be complete. Once the intruder has...

    66-1 for a 27-2

    In a New York minute. My 5" Model 27-2 is probably one of the better balanced revolvers I own. It has just enough front-end weight. The Model 27-2 4" lengths are somewhat rare, since they were only made for a few years after the 3.5" and 5" models were discontinued.

    Judge Orderes DOJ to Release Fast & Furious documents by October 22

    The decision is two days old. That Holder announced his resignation today, is no coincidence. There are no coincidences in politics.

    Refute this argument

    There are only three remaining clauses from the original 1215 document. Most were repealed in the nineteenth century. It also didn't limit the power of the king. It only provided for punishment if he exceeded the powers of the Magna Carta. Great Britain still has no written constitution...

    Eric Holder resigns

    Nothing is done by Obama without political calculus. He will leave after January if the Dems retain control of the Senate. He will leave before January if the Dems lose control of the Senate.

    Refute this argument

    I'm always distrusting of anyone who quotes sources comparing the American society to that of other countries. Our Constitution has helped provide a societal development unheard of in world history. The "American Revolution" is probably a misnomer. Revolution denotes a complete upheaval of...

    SS polishing value

    As long as you don't get carried away, you probably won't hurt the value. If you want to just clean and remove the dullness, apply the Mothers with your fingers. That way you won't go crazy and get too aggressive. Polish out with a flannel cloth, and you should be good to go.

    Smith 686 PC vs Colt Python

    The 686 has a full length under-lug based on what? - The Colt Python. Colt did not shorten their under-lug to that of say, a Model 19. Colt didn't have to up-size their I frame to handle hot, light .357 Magnums. That's why the L frame was designed. The Python doesn't have a cut-down forcing...

    Accuracy and Precision - yet again

    You should hear the discussions among the bench rest shooters at our club. I doubt that more than two sentences go by without the term precision coming in. Most of these guys shoot 6mm of some ilk; some 6mm BR, some a wildcat load. They measure powder in .1's grains, bullets sorted by weight...

    S&W K38 Masterpiece - Refinish or not

    Even with the modern coatings, the corrosion has to be removed completely. Otherwise, you can see the pitting.
