    New conundrum- to fix or not to fix...

    I saw this same advice about dry firing it to death regarding my SW 642. I’ve got to say it truly cleaned mine right up nicely.

    Ankle Holsters

    For that sort of scenario I’d definitely pocket carry as I do most of the time. Anyone coming at you in that situation would com from very close in. If it was me doing deposits ankle carry I’d pull it out and put it in my pocket a couple blocks prior or before leaving the car...

    Walther PP Vs Manurhin PP

    I was amazed that the Polizei carried 32 autos until the 1980s. Even the Military Police carried P 1s back then. I have a Manchurian in 22 which shoots pretty well but is still way too heavy to carry. It’s got all that weight to appease the 1968 Leftist law😾 I’ ll stick with my LCP...

    Hypothetical: What would you carry, concealed?

    I carried OC on the job but never really had a chance to use it. I did enough training with it though to know that it’s very hard to hit anybody or anything in the eyes with that stuff unless you’re pretty well trained with it. Most people think it comes out like a blast but it’s really more...

    Ruger LC9ES Does Your Safety Feel Sloppy Into The Detent?.

    I just got this last year. The safety works fine but seems to be some how how sloppy on the detent. It clicks in but it’s just not what you would compare to others .Is that a thing with this particular model or something you can improve by taking down and stretching or replacing the spring...

    I Found The Tenths Decal For My RCBS 5-10 scales.

    I forgot that I was going to go back and do this earlier in the year. Anyways, here it is in millimeters hopefully good enough that you can figure out where it starts and how it spaces. You’ll notice that the placard fits exactly in the indented area on the scale. So, hopefully by making one up...

    Securing Glass Doors

    When I finally got rid of my rental I decided rip out the old circa 1980s sliding class door. They had lost their gas and clouded so I just had to break them. I found that they are very thick glass with a fairly decent gap Around 1/2”. I doubt a crack head is going to have the...

    Guns you thought you’d like but didn’t…

    Glock 17 Gen 4 9MM. The agency made me give up the .40 Glock 23 Gen. 1 and use theirs. I wasn’t happy but at that point was beyond caring anymore with CBP🤮. When I had to qual with this the first thing I noticed was how much better and more natural the grip was. Shooting it was...

    I bought a new S&W; don’t hate me.

    It’s all good by me except that one most damning g thing .HILLARY HOLE. Call me crazy but that’s just one of those things that represents all the Marxist lunacy of late. I put it right up there with The Minivan🚽😁🫣🤦🏻‍♂️. No no never . Plug that nasty thing before it spreads🤬

    Smith and Wesson Pre model 28

    I got mine at The Munich Rod and Gun Club on McGraw Kassern in 1980 new for $200 . Nice gun but I always found the OEM grips made it look and feel too small for the gun. Pachmayers are better but seem to have all the style of the heel of an old boot🤦🏻‍♂️ .

    Best SD ammo for .38 Snubby

    Back in the day 1982 I bought a box of those in +p. I’ve still got most of them. I test fired them into a couple wet Denver City phone books and they dug out a ragged .50 caliber. That’s from a SW Model 28 w/ 4” . My buddy shot the same books with the same ammo in 45 ACP and it...

    When making a sawed off shotgun, why do you file the inside of the barrel

    I cut an old Iver Johnson back in the 70s as a grouse gun. I used a pipe cutter that I borrowed from my buddy’s grandfather. I cut it at 20” and left the inner ring effect☹️. Two shots later I saw the crack starting so I hack sawed it to 18.5 sanded out the inner roughness and it was...

    Pattern Spread With A Cylinder Choke Shotgun?

    I bought one of those Turkish made pumps a couple years ago as a closet gun for things that go bump in the night. Very nice gun actually compared to the beater 870s I dragged around on the job for years. It’s got a nice fit and finish though lacking in only having a 4 shot magazine...

    Pocket Carry - the RIGHT way

    I’d not want to have me booger hook inside the bang lever surrounds with it pointing up my arm like that. I have visions of car keys absentmindedly misplaced ect snagging that trigger. No thanks, too complicated. I will stick to my LCP that looks like a cell phone or wallet at most...

    38 law enforcement ammunition

    When I was with the Fed Bureau of Prisons in the 80s we carried smiths with 158 RN lead . I never heard of any inmates getting **** by one though as the Perimeter CO always went for the 12 gauge 870 which proved persuasive enough to make them stop in their tracks. We were a Youth...

    J-frame trigger improvement

    I saw that someplace and did it with my 642. It actually worked quite well and cleaned mine up a lot.

    2 replica peacemakers both shoot 2.5 inches left at 25v yards - Why?

    Could it be your grip? When my former agency switched pieces I had to go from a Gen 1 Glock 23 .40 to a Gen 4 G 17 9MM . I was happy with the old one but got forced. I loved the improved grip on the 17 and it gripped so naturally. When I walked up to the line I snickered to the...
