I have several older Colts. Including an Official Police with (Probably) Jay Scott grips. Wanted some vintage wood. Found some on eBay. Listed as OP grips. Not even close. they are dead square across the top. I don’t recall any Colt being cut like that. Any ideas? Front and back...

Holiday Mart in Kailua Hawaii. I guess I was about 12. 1972 ish. I was absolutely CERTAIN I needed a dive knife. Turns out I didn’t. That said, it’s never rusted and even the vinyl sheath is still intact. Even the fake temper lines are still there. I’m sure it’s pretty soft, just a moment of...

I’ve occasionally pocket carried. Usually an old 642 in a homemade leather holster. And. It worked pretty well. Decided to try my P365. Ordered a couple holsters. The first is made by J&J. The back part is a flap, hinged at the bottom, so you can slip your hand around the grip...

For some reason, I’m more and more being drawn towards carrying guns that have a military or law enforcement pedigree. Sig P239, P229, P226. Smith or Ruger revolvers. Glocks 19. 22. Colt 1911’s. etc. I have other guns. A Springfield EMP4..Sig P365. Lots of little hideout guns. But, I’m liking...

I like the little Sig P365. Weight. Capacity. Reliability. Accuracy. it’s a great little carry gun. I’m also a huge fan of Off switches on guns. I carried a 1911 for many years. Shot IPSC. So I picked up a P365 with a manual safety. As a 1911 shooter, I’ve always shot thumb high, on the...

I’ve been playing with a new P365 I picked up. I go to load it and, holster it. Rough reenactment of what my desk looked like. Ammo. Mag pouch. Stop watch. A tax bill I need to mail off that was stuck on the side of my file cabinet…just stuff. It’s re staged. I’m not really sure where...

I remember I had an old LT. He was on the army pistol team, Vietnam Era. he told me after a day at the range, they just tossed their pistols in a vat of kerosene, scrubbed them, bore brushed them, used a little compressed air to blow them out. Squirted a little oil on the rails, barrel hood...

In an old abandon crack house that was going to be demolished. The leather washers were completely rotted. Any ideas how to get the buttcap off? I can’t see a cross pin anywhere.

I love revolvers. The simplicity. Reliability. I own a bunch of revolvers from 22 up to 44 mag. The 38 and 357 have always been one of my favorite calibers. if I shoot three cylinder fulls of 357Magnum in a K frame it hurts. Quite a bit. There’s a magic little spot on the first knuckle of my...

This is an NYPD Police Service Six. If you run across one, all NYPD Ruger Six Series have a star stamped on the frame inside the crane cutout. (sorry..pictures came out in a wonky order) The NYPD holster at the time was the Jay-Pee NYPD holster. It looks like a bucket for a gun. It was...

My carry gun for a few days... Post a few Walthers PPK’s in honor of the character that kept this little gun around.

Seems people do these. I’m curious. I’m all about accuracy. Speed is fine, accuracy is final and all that. I’ll do some (for me) speed shooting at plates. (Not very fast but, I rarely miss). But then I start shooting at distance. 25-50-100 yards. I figure if I can hit at 100, 50’s easy. 25...

I own some truly outstanding auto knives and a bunch of Spydercos. I made an important discovery. A: Autos are a lot of fun to play with. B: I can open a Spyderco faster and close it faster than an auto. By the time I pull the auto out, properly orient it in my hand, flip the safety and...

I’ve shot .357’s for years. Own a bunch of them. Hands down, one of the greatest and most versatile cartridges ever created. So, I dusted off the old 3” 65 the other day for a morning of revolver shooting. My hands are apparently getting old. It hurt. Like serious pain in the web and...

Greetings all. I am well enough versed in handguns, but, shotguns are out of my comfort zone, so, any help would be appreciated. I just traded for an Ithaca Hammerless double barrel 12 gauge thats been cut to 19" as a coach gun. It has a lovely "patina" (that would be gun seller talk for...

At this exact moment...there are more people viewing revolvers than auto threads..Yeah!!! (Ok...that was silly...its just usually the other way around, I assume its because the revolver shooters are a smarter bunch that don't need to ask as many questions, don't need to know why their guns...

I just took apart an old Ruger Police Service Six. I'm quite sure I'm the first to open the gun up in 15 years since it left the factory. Inside was a red, clear grease. Looked like strawberry jelly. I've seen this grease before. Its the slickest stuff I've ever seen and after all these...

I was at the range yesterday and a fellow shooter let me try his 640 that had been ported by Weigand. The lack of muzzle flip was incredible. I swear, the gun recoiled less that the K frame 65 I was shooting. I come home to look up Weigand on the internet only to find that they no longer do...

Does anyone know of any truly concealable rubber grips, with a covered backstrap? I don't need palm swells, finger grooves or bulk. It seems every pair of rubber grips I find, that cover the backstrap, wind up looking more like target grips rather than carry grips. Is the market just not...

Jeez. Maybe I'm getting old or my pain threshold has gone down. Went shooting the other day and discovered that my 3" 65 and Mod 58 Smith both hurt to shoot. Hard nylon smooth grips on the 65, Herrett shooting stars on the 58. They are both getting me just to the left of the web of my hand...
