    I have a S&W Model-686, 4" barrel, with a Millet red dot, and BSquare mount and Millet rings. It shoots about 2" low at 15 yards with the adjustments completely raised. Can I shim the front of the sight up to raise the point of impact? If so,how thick should the shim be? Any advise would be...

    Here we go again… Fair price for this Colt Diamondback?

    Old Fuff, I understand what you're saying and I agree. Colt revolver 'smiths are few and far between. I've made a personal choice to enjoy my weapons while I can. I'm 61 y.o. and have no one to leave them to. I'm going to try to wear them out before I wear out. All my weapons are working guns...

    Here we go again… Fair price for this Colt Diamondback?

    Old Fuff, I'm not a collector or dealer. Every gun in my safe gets shot, including my Snakes, S&W's, and other Colts. I have a Colt .38 Police Positive in 95% finish made in 1932. It goes to the range a few times a year. These old guns are a pure joy to shoot.Why would you be married to Miss...

    good, bad, ugly of Kentucky?

    I've lived and traveled all over the world but Kentucky will always be home. There are more miles of streams and rivers than any state in the nation except Alaska. We have the largest elk herd east of the Mississippi. We also have deer, black bear,small game, and water fowl hunting. Lots of...

    Python and Monson-made Dan

    Back in the late '70's I had a DW Pistol Pack. Wish I still had it but I do have a Python, a S&W Model-19, and a -686 with BSquare mounts and a Millet red dot.

    Which caliber do you shoot the most?

    Mostly .38Spl/.357Mag. I have a Colt Python and I'd like to wear it out before I go to the big shooting range in the sky. So far, the revolver looks brand new.

    .41 Mag Association

    I didn't read the 30+pages of this thread so I don't know if anyone mentioned this. Watch out for Colt Pythons in .41 mag. They are Bubba Specials.

    Ithaca Model-37 Slam Fire

    I have an ol Ithaca Model-37 made in 1947. My cousin/shooting buddy/BFF has a newer Model-37 made,IIRC, in the late '80's. Mine has the slam fire feature, his doesn't. Does anybody know what year this was discontinued? Just curious. Thanks. My -37 is smoother than his and is very tight. It...

    Help buying new beam scale

    I "upgraded" to a Redding R2 scale because it was easier to see. My Lee Safety Scale is still dead-on accurate. If you can see the Lee, I'd a advise you to get a set of check weights and save your money. I prefer balance or beam scales to electronic scales. Gravity never has a dead battery. YMMV.

    Have you ever felt like you have too many firearms?

    When my 24-gun safe and my 10-gun locker are full, and I have guns chained to the bed frame in the guest room, it's time thin the herd. I'd rather have one gun I like to shoot than 5 guns that don't interest me.

    The LHL also has a writer named Merlene Davis. Her colums are always good for a dose of hate, racism, and just plain stupidity.
