    Is the S&W 442/642 the perfect pocket gun?

    The Bantams just slip on and off. Ive had them on and off mine at least 3-4 times without issue. Pocket carrying, the rubber is a non-issue. IWB carry is a non-issue with your shirt tucked in. With your shirt un-tucked, it might grab a little bit but I've never had much of a problem with it.

    Is the S&W 442/642 the perfect pocket gun?

    I really like the Hogue bantam grips on my 442. They are inexpecisve and have held up much better than the factory grips. They are a little grippy, so if IWB carrying it may cause your un-tucked shirt to ride up a bit, but they are fine in a pocket.

    J-frame trigger improvement

    Another vote for the Apex kit. I have installed them on my 442 and 642 with great success. Also a very light smoothing out of any rough edges on any parts that ride together and a small amount of quality lube in the right places makes a big improvement over factory.

    Spanish mauser

    I had one, and the receiver was cracked, presumably from the re-chambering process. I would proceed with caution.

    ATF Rule 2021R8 goes into effect January 31, 2023

    Seems to me like a lot of people will be getting free SBRs with a little paperwork.

    CVA scout VS Henry single shot?

    I don't have any experience with the Henry single shots, but I do have a CVA Scout in 300BLK that I have been very pleased with. The trigger is excellent, and the rifle is made with hunting in mind. I'm sure a model in 45-70 would be a shoulder thumper, but I assume you are prepared for that.

    Carrying Loose Rounds?

    I just got one of these for my rifles: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1024647560?pid=599388 Its much improved over the old elastic style cuffs, this one is very grippy and stays put. I plan to buy a few more.

    Which 300 BO Upper and why?

    I've got the 10.5 inch Nitrided PSA upper and have been very happy with it. I haven't shot it a lot yet because I'm still waiting on my suppressor but I have no complaints.

    Primer Hit Issues?

    The off-centered part is a non-issue for me. The cratering and flattening of some if them indicates to me that you may approaching excessive operating pressures. Potentially a tight throat or head-spacing issue, but that might be nit-picking. I would keep shooting it, monitor it for any changes...

    Zastava Zpap, Krinkov, AK-47U, Mini-RPK Pistol

    I traded off my Draco several years ago, back before braces existed. I wish I had kept it now.

    First 1911... Talk me out of (or into) this Kimber

    Am I the only one that saw the two old Smiths in the case for a great price? Where is this shop?

    Old faithful edc picture thread.

    The finish loss on the frame doesn't bother me as much as the cylinder. Its been impossible to keep it rust free. Its pitted pretty bad now in a few spots. As for the Kershaw, I've had several of this model over the years. Hands down absolute best knife for what I use it for.

    Old faithful edc picture thread.

    This 442 Pro-Series has ridden many miles with me. It needs another good cleaning and the finish has seen better days but internally it’s great. The factory grips fell apart several years ago but the Hogues have been solid. Most of its life has been IWB but occasionally it’s in a pocket. From...

    My next rifle. Rossi in 45 colt.

    I've got the blued version that has quickly become my go-to farm gun. Its quick handling and with cowboy loads it isn't punishing to the ears if I have to pop a varmint without ear protection. I'm about to order a saddle ring for it and try using a single point sling with it. I would love to...

    Looking for CQB 7.62x39 options, short barrel, legally a "pistol"

    I love AKs and x39. I wanted pretty close to what you have described. I had a Draco 10 years ago and traded it for a regular AK as the muzzle blast was not pleasant. This past month I finally finished a 10.5 inch 300 Blackout with a brace that I have been very pleased with so far. Yes, steel...

    Bear Creek Arsenal

    While I was shopping around for a 10.5 300blk upper recently, I had it narrowed down between PSA or Bear Creek. I went with PSA, mostly because of the rail, and it was on sale for $279. I've been pleased with it.

    One of a kind Taurus on GB

    From the listing: Less than an hour left and zero bids. Makes me wonder what else slips past quality control if that can.

    1944 Tula Nagant

    I think I've got half a box or so of PPU, a couple little boxes of Russian surplus and a sandwich bag of PPU brass if you are interested.

    38-55

    Let me preface all of this by saying that I don't and have never owned a 38-55 rifle but have researched them some. H&R made a 38-55 Target rifle that I wanted to get as a companion to my H&R Buffalo Classic 45-70. Some had issues with inconsistent bore diameters and I never actually found one...

    100 yards with the SKS

    It should be noted that their are two groups of people in this thread; One who thinks thats a good day of shooting, and the others that scoff and think something is wrong with you or your choice of firearm. We could further surmise that those two groups of people could be equally divided by...
