If you remove the black matte finish of a Glock, what remains is a graphite-colored shiny gray finish, reminiscent of scribbling a pencil on paper. It's an attractive, subdued, two tone finish. I owned a pistol like this once, and it was fairly unique. I liked it. If you like this type...

Agreed with "nice leather" (I'm thinking Kramer, m'self) and "thumbsnap or other at least single retention system." In Florida, when carrying a firearm for duty use, openly on a duty rig, it is required by law to have at least one retention system, either a maneuver (such as forward-and-up)...

Try the Taurus 24/7 in 9mm. It seemed to work for my ex-gf after five pistol tries, including several already listed here. S

Holy crap on a cracker! Want!!! Yes, and if you're going to go that route, Kel-Tec sells the SU-16D in both a 9 and a 12 inch barrel configuration, which is exactly what you describe: A PLR-16 with the Kel-Tec underfolder shoulder stock. I'd like to point out that they DO sell to...

I've met Mr. Cogan on several occasions when he was still here in Florida. Everything you've heard is true: 1) He is a perfectionist. 2) He knows what he's doing, especially when it comes to finishes. I miss dropping by his shop. S

How did you get those pictures?? That's just awesome. I have the SU-16C (the carbine big brother to the PLR). It looks like a lot of fun. I've even been considering the SU-16D-9, which is the PLR with a shoulder stock (It's an SBR, but that's ok, Florida is an NFA friendly state)...

So then, What's a factory nickel Series 70 Commander (Not Combat Commander -- the lightweight) going for these days? Just askin' S

Sorry for the Thread Necromancy. There were two different inserts made for the "Insert Type" Auto Nine/Sherry, one with a little bitty plunger-operated extractor, and one with a slightly more robust extractor. Can anyone tell me which one Numrich has? I'd like to upgrade mine. I have one...

Yo homie, is that my briefcase? I'd probably die trying; I'm not too bright and I have an ego about getting killed by a frimping amateur. Already come too close a couple of times. This time I'm older, have an attorney on retainer, and seasoned pistol skills. I'll bet my life on them...

I've recently acquired a Ruger Police Service Six, a 4" revolver about the size of a S&W K-frame. It is blued. It is in pretty darn good condition. It is also 9mm. It takes moon clips which look like little throwing stars, that "snap" around the rebated rim area of the cartridges...

An excellent point that Mas Ayoob addressed quite a few years back: "The Defensive Handgun Battery." Basically, your carry gun, an exact duplicate of your carry gun (either in the same caliber, or similar, but will fit in the same holster), a BUG, a SBUG, and a "Church Gun." Four handguns...

Agreed. Multiple platforms are of limited utility by a single person; So unless you're planning on arming others, you're better off with one gun you REALLY know how to use, and enough ammo to feed it through a SHTF situation. "Beware the man with only one gun. He probably knows how to use...

I am aware of several groups of individuals in my area calling themselves "Militia". Given my desire to live a pain-free life, I have chosen to keep my own preparations my own and not throw in my lot with them. Considering how Militias could be targeted as "domestic terrorists", I'm thinking...

I'm so tactical, my tactics have tactics, and they're secret too! S

Having seen a draw that rivals mine from the surrender position to a front waistband draw-and-fire, I'd say he should be disarmed before you ever approach him. Having him remove his firearm with HIS WEAK HAND and TWO FINGERS, with any noncompliance at that point earning him a double-tap, is...

I use 'em for the gas KEY on the B/C. I tried using one on my Bushy's gas tube once, but it didn't seem to help anything, it's not something I found particularly easy nor useful, so I stopped doing it. But the gas key, fouling builds up there, as it does on the tail of the bolt, and those...

I just followed the instructions in this thread using a Sistema 1927 Argentine pistol. Started my relationship with it with a "shade tree" trigger job, that is, the contact point of the trigger had been filed ( I believe excessively ) and the hammer/sear engagement was precarious at best...

I'm not ashamed to admit it: I'm impressed. S
