Today is the second anniversary of the day that I had my heart attack. I have greatly changed many many habits after facing death. For example, I am now an ex smoker and try to eat healthier. I find that I am ore relaxed in my habits. I drive 5 mph under the limit and am extra courteous in my...

I have seen a number of posts here about sight painting. I thought that I would try it myself with my 3rd issue Colt DS. My daughter gave me some white nail polish. First I put 3 coats of that on the ramp front and theh 2 coats of hot pink. I followed that with a glaze overcoat. This...

My police department received a bulletin that a Delaware PD had problems with several Glock 22s while on the firing range this week. The report was that 2 out of 17 had the barrel lugs shear off while in use. The ammunition used was WW 155 grain hollowpoints. It is too early to tell what Glock...

I saw a Beretta 92 Compact at my local shop the other day. The trigger is smoother than anything I have ever felt. Finish is about 95%. They want $350.00 for it with only 1 magazine. What are the opinions out there on this? I like it but am concerned about the availability of magazines etc.

I grew up with my great uncle who was probably one of the wisest men I ever met. I would like to pass along some of his sayings. He lived to be 90 something and knew what he was talking about from his life experioence. 1. When someone tells you that they are a good Christian(any other religous...

A year ago I was fortunate enough to survive a heart attack and to quit smoking. Since then, I have discovered how good food tastes and have gained a bit of weight and a new shape. That shape is round. The problem is that i am actually round and my pants keep falling down. The holstered...

My local gunshop has a high polish stainless Centenniel .357 with ivory grips. The salesman said it is a special order. The purchaser was denied his purchase permit(domestic violence)and never picked up the gun. I could get the gun at a substantial discount from the $600 ticket price. Only...

I have seen a number of clubs dedicated to the various S&W revolvers. How about a club dedicated to the Detective Special? I first encountered the DS when I was around 10 years old when a friend of my father's who was a NY State Police BCI investigator came over for dinner and took off his...

Could some owners of the GI model give me an opinion on the reliability of the straight GI model? Does anyone own one of the GREEN armory kote models? If so, can you comment on the durability of the finish? I get to buy 1 gun a year and do not want to waste the money on junk.

Prior to New Year's eve, I carried only occasionally even though I have had my NY carry permit since 1980. I have always lived in the country and only felt the need to go armed when I was going throgh certain locations. I always felt I could talk my way out of problems or use certain training...

Let me start out with this. I live on a private road with no other houses on it. My house sits a half mile back from the main road. The private road continues past my house for another 1/2 mile to an aircraft maintenance hanger. There is no traffic on the road after 5 PM. Halloween night, i...

I have been shopping for a while now and have been having some problems trying to find my next purchase. I would like to buy a semi-auto that is 9 MM or better. I have extremely small hands and am having a hard time finding a good fit. I have looked at GLOCKS, XDs, H&K, Smith M&Ps, and Sigs...

When I was a kid, I thought that Uncle Rob carrying his 1911 all the time was really cool. My best friends father carried a staghandled Model 19 on a constant basis. I though that was cool too. When I said that too them, I just got that dumb kid look. Well, now that I have carried for over 20...

Have you wondered about the timing of AWBII? Don't wonder anymore. Just look at the meltdown in the housing industry. Most of the news media re pointing out the potential of over a million homes being lost to foreclosure in the subprime markets. Imagine over a million people being tossed out...

I have noticed a number of threads questioning whether gun ownership and Christianity or Judaism are compatible. Thant is not a question that has to be asked of us pagans out there as most of us are not really the forgiving type and can be a little prickly about the opinions expressed by the...

Over the weekend, I saw a Colt Commander satin nickel in 9mm for $500. The gun looked in 97% condition-bright bore and a fes scratches here and there. Is the price good? Would I be better off waiting for a .45 as magazines etc are more readily available ?:confused:
