Thanks to all for your advice. This is a great forum.

Wally - No, I didn't attempt to remove it. First I noticed was cleaning following a range session. During reassembly, the bolt wouldn't go forward [as you noted], and I was looking for the problem. When I examined in detail, I noticed that the retaining pin was loose enough to slide freely...

Please see picture. Pin came loose from gas piston, and cannot be removed without force, nor will it seem to return to a fully seated position. This appears to be a functionless part. Using a punch to 'shove it' back in doesn't seem like it will solve anything [would still be loose and...

Thanks again to all for sharing.

Bad experience with Bud's Sure - happy to share. 1st and only purchase from Bud's, and I inspect the presumably new Kahr CW40 while the dealer [local range] processes the paperwork. The front sight blade is broken. Still excited about my purchase, I decided to 'man-up' and just order a new...

Sorry - More to your point If the shops you listed wouldn't/couldn't order, it may not be in the supply chain yet. Try - Al's Gun Shop‎1597 County Road East E, St Paul, MN 55110-5225(651) 482-8138‎ Wolf's Den Gun Shop 5554 145th Street North, Hugo, MN Frontiersman (952) 544-3775 -...

YMMV - But my experience... I've purchased from Gander, Cabelas, Bill's, the Frontiersman, J&G [Burnsville] and a wide host of dealers at shows like Madden Enterprises and Riverside Firearms. I've even purchased on-line at Bud's [avoid...] and AimSurplus for odd-duck stuff. Take care with...

I have to agree with Dave as far as not using the mags. I literally bashed the floor plate back to flat, so it is usable. But... could see ruining them quickly. 2 mags with the weapon, both needed new springs. 1 after market mag - really poor fit - has to be pried out of the magwell. 3...

Thank you for your opinions I appreciate you all taking the time to share your experience.

Thanks to all I appreciate the advice. I had started with the mag floor plate, but with the stronger spring installed, it bent and still bit me. I'll try a snug fitting punch and see if I can save my little piggies some further grief. Thank you once again

Thank you for your opinions Sounds like it won't be a problem with the trousers I normally wear. Thanks for your holster picks as well - always seeking new options.

Any LCR owners pocket carry? How is the 'print'? Small enough to remain unnoticeable to the casual observer? What holster [if any] do you use? Thanks for the advice - wondering if I can get away with dusting my current mouse gun, but probably need to sell it prior to purchasing the LCR.

Love my .327 Had my .327 in a Ruger sp-101 for a while now. I do carry it on occasion when a 'belt-gun' works with my attire. I do not want to get into a caliber war with anyone, but a few hundredths of an inch difference in a hole will not matter much to a bad guy. Bullet expansion [per a...

Seeking advice from an experienced CZ-52 owner. Seems that every 2nd or 3rd time I disassemble my CZ-52 for cleaning, I end up bleeding with a gouge in at least one finger. When removing the recoil spring and barrel, there is sufficient tension that it inevitably 'bites' me when the...

Thank you, 32 Magnum You are a gentleman, sir, to so freely share your expertise. Thank you for your kind reply to bring my ignorance into the light of day. Thanks also for the 'bonus' of the extra pictures - It is always fun to see specimens in such fine condition. Take care, Chris

I am saddened by the anger directed against 'our own' on this thread. Many, if not all, of the opposing arguments have positive merit, yet they feel that this can only be done 'at the expense' of opposing or destroying the merit of a different view. Complacency is a real problem in the...

In 2007, the leading pro-gun group in Minnesota has dropped the Concealed Carry Reform Now [CCRN] moniker and again assumed a more global name of Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance [GOCRA]. We are a registered lobbyist at the Minnesota State Capital, and work tirelessly to beat back all anti-gun...

Since the passage of the Minnesota Personal Protection Act [shall issue carry law], the organization you have listed has dropped the Concealed Carry Reform Now [CCRN] moniker and again assumed a more global name of Gun Owners Civil Rights Alliance [GOCRA]. We are a registered lobbyist at the...

32 Magnum - what a great collection, I am green with envy. I just acquired an H&R 22 Special, which appears to be very similar to the Sportsman. Firing pin is integral to the hammer, and it is a nine round cylinder. The cylinder timing is a little loose, and the cylinder stop does not engage...
