I have Two of these. They both work with all kinds of ammunition just as Aarond said in his post.

1970. High Standard Sentinel .22. Wanted something for river and creeks that was cheaper and more available than 9mm. Was guiding at the time in west Texas and needed something to dispatch wounded deer also. Great pistol and I wish it were still in my possession.

What Palindin7 said, and I will give my .02 also. Don't forget the older model guns. Think SP101 = Security Six 357 in short barrel will get old fast. What I know now and as you posed the question I would go with the 4 inch. Pistols. Third gen. Smiths. I have used a 645 around the...

I you would rather use CFE-P sounds good to me. Easier to find and works well for me in 38sp and many others. Maybe not the best but it works well. On my cell or could give you the fps as tested. JMO but I say use it.

I used a Competition Pro chronograph and distance to graph was fifteen feet. These are all CFE pistol powder. Order is round, load, and barrel o.a.l. and fps. CP is copper plated. All CP were X-Treme bullets. Three rounds per string. All CCI 500 primers. 38sp 158gr LSWCP...

The shield comes with or without the safety option. I prefer the safety. I have both the 9 and the .40 in the shield. Like others have said, try them before you buy. If you are going to start with one and then maybe sell it if it does not work out start with the shield. In my area the...

Full disclosure. Only have one laser. Do not use them on a carry gun. Not allowed in my CHL class but will train people who want to use them. I find students concentrate more on the laser than technique. Optimum range for best use is 15 yards. MOO When laser is removed without notice as in...

Five. Exactly the same. Target at 15 yards and aligned with chronograph at 15 feet. From a rest. Each shot gives me accuracy and fps. Sometimes may repeat with a different length barrel. This is handgun only. Works for me but to each his own. :)

Others to think about Older smiths. 915 59 Ruger P89

By one of the Rugers mentioned and never look back. JMO.

I feel better now. Feel like I am still dancing on the sane side. I do all of that. Uh of course I don't even have a 223/5.56. :D

Nice looking bench and welcome to the addict... I mean hobby. :D I like your racks in the back. I would move your press around and see where it feels best for you before you bolt it down. I would just advise against the center. Mine is mounted just about where you see the knot in your...

Always work up your own load and always follow safe procedures. The only time I used A#7 for 9mm. 124 gr plated rn 6.2 gr. A#7 500 Primer Mixed brass 1.15 oal 4 inch barrel 950 fps average. 3.5 inch barrel 885 fps average. Be careful. YRMV

The 40 Shield? I have one. I like it. It can be a little snappy with upper end loads. As far as carry goes, you won't know the difference between the 9.

I have a 915. Great gun. As to Holsters, take the gun in with you and try some made for different brands. Especially the M & P full size. Much of the shape of the 915 was incorporated into the M & P. I have several of those holsters that I use with the 915. I even did a little drimmel...

Great Dies. They are the ones I use for 45 colt. Enjoy. :)

Chose the 9 and I am an old guy. :D It is what I carry now. Why would I change just for a Poll?

If you want another rifle you could do a lot worse than a 25-06. It is accurate, and joy to own and shoot. I have owned quite a few throughout the years. It is also very loud and has a considerable muzzle blast. If you are wandering if the 30-06 is up to challenge for your task I would...

++11 for the wooden dowel.

I think you are certainly on the right track. As said, it is her decision and sometimes women can surprise you. The test drive and feel are her choice. As for considerations, do not discount some of the older Smith semi-auto pistols. The 915, 910, 39 models come to mind. These are...
