Sig 226 on my side of bed. Kahr P9 on wife's side. PM9 in my office. 686 snubbie in my workshop. 625 in back basement. Looking for ways to keep at least one in each room.

6.5" 8.5 a little heavy, 10" feels like a rifle, 4" might be too light. Sort of mama bear, papa bear, baby bear.

Carry either PM9 or 340PD in pocket. Have 2 IWB holsters for Sig 226 and 686 snubby but both are too heavy (compared to the pocket guns).

Gold. Gold. Gold. The spike in silver back in the late 70s was a fluke. Silver is a very tightly controlled commodity. Firearms could get banned for whatever reason...it IS a possiblity. For long term investments, I'd advise mutual funds, EFTs, SPYDERS, stocks, etc, but only after...

Transporter 2 -- SPOILER, sort of... Not to give away too much, the chick shooting 2 Glock 18s??? with extended mags, never runs out. Out on the street, 2 cop cars drive up to her with the usual, "Freeze, drop the gun, blah, blah, blah..." Chick is on the phone, says "...Plan B...,"...

A few years ago I experimented with shooting hot 45 loads from my 4" 625. I managed to get up to 1500 fps with 185gr bullets. Don't remember the powders but I recall using PowerPistol, Unique, 2400 and a few others. The rounds shot perfectly flat up to 100 yards. Wasn't near a 200 yard...

I've got Miculek's Trigger Job. I can't think why you'd need another DVD/Video as this shows the entire internal workings of a typical S&W. Unless you want to do machining to your revolver, I'd say this is a complete course. I have an AGI tape for Sigs. As it is in the VHS video format and...

As far as I remember there was only a single gun shop in the city, somewhere out in the Mission. It was a once famous gun shop owned by a renowned bullseye shooter (sorry, his name escapes me) and taken over by a bunch of Asians. Don't know if they still have the shop or if it closed. Wasn't...

You could also buy Jerry Miculek's excellent video/dvd Trigger Job and do it yourself. It's not that hard and you'll learn a lot. The better way to go, in my opinion, is to leave the gun alone and just shoot it and dry fire it a lot. The trigger will smooth out like butter. I've shot...

Talk about lazy...I reload to avoid a trip to the store. This way, I always have a few hundred rounds. Have to admit when I get really lazy I just buy a few boxes of WWB. However, my 9mm is for my PM9 only. All other shooting is done with everything but 9.

Ellie, Here's a list of some ranges: Black's Creek in Kuna, only 15 minutes away from anywhere in Boise Nampa Rod and Gun (membership only) Gem State Rod and Gun Boise Gun Club, shotgun Parma Rod and Gun (membership only) Snake River Sportsmen in Vale Long range pistol silhouette in...

My wife and I moved from San Francisco about 16 months ago. It was easy for us as I was very close to retirement and my wife was looking for something different to do. We ended up in a city where crime is almost zero and CCW is shall issue. We both have permits but don't carry because we...

Have to agree with Oleg. I've got a custom 6.5x55 I bought 2 years ago. Have yet to shoot it and doubt I ever will. Have a few others that everytime I look at them I think, "sold!"

http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/gate/archive/2005/09/14/cstillwell.DTL One must remember that it is the people who voted in the Board of Stuperfiers, time and time again, and will continue to do so.

When I wear plugs I can hear pretty well and it cuts the sound of gunfire enough so I don't have ringing or pain. It is a well known fact that this type of exposure, over time, will lead to a certain amount of deafness. Case in point: Pete Townsend. Deaf as a doorknob. Now, that kind of...

I've never hunted but intend to go bird hunting either this fall or next year. The other day I watched one of the outdoor channel programs on elk hunting. The shooter and his spotter did not have any hearing protection of any kind. When I'm at the range and hunters are sighting in their big...

As someone who grew up watching the McCarthy hearings I've always associated "Red" with commies and the like. This sentiment even carried over to things like cables. The red cable was always the left cable. Are they going to change the movie "Reds" to "Blues?" Nowadays, I'm red and all...

Brass Balls, A few years ago I purchased a case of Miwall reloads in 9mm. They would not load in my wife's 228 and blew up her Kahr P9. (Fortunately for us, Kahr fixed the P9 free of charge). Gave the remaining ammo to a local range guru. He said the majority of the rounds were odd sized...

My first revolver was a 625 4" barrel. I shot 45 ACP but switched to AR cases. I found myself fooling around with 45 Super/Rowland loads and soon realized that I was heading for a train wreck. I then picked up a 686 2" all steel snub and once again found myself loading past spec so the next...

Excellent discussion on 45 Super here... http://forums.1911forum.com/showthread.php?t=78625 BTW, I'd go with the 10mm over the 45 Super simply because of suitability. You can push the 45 ACP way, way beyond its rated capabilities but the price you pay is a beat up gun and possibly a KB if...
