Hey, I did what you suggested at the end. I wanted to be able to use the 747 with either hand. I ordered a "left-handed" set of grips, then I used the smaller, non-"thumb-rest" grips on both sides of the 747. In other words, I used the flat, right-side grip from the right-handed grips, and...

I've had TWO very pretty handguns that just did not work. I bought them both used, and in both cases the factory made everything right! The first gun was was a Seecamp 32. It is a magnificent piece of equipment, and can be somewhat rare. I found mine used at a local shop and jumped at the...

Beautiful! :) The older ones like these are even prettier. :) (ArthurDent waves hello to DAdams!)

I think you will be quite happy with your 642! :) This is my favorite every-day-carry. It is almost always with me when I can legally carry. I use an Uncle Mike's #3 in-pocket holster, in my front pocket. It is easy to carry everywhere, and is amost invisible this way. It is easy to get a...

Here's what feels best to me: 1) Old-school S&W revolvers... with bluing and wooden boot grips. These just make me happy! 2) Marlin lever guns. Everything about these also makes me happy! 3) Gen-3 Glocks. I have big hands, and the Gen-3 Glocks just fit me well. The triggers are not so...

Like many folks have said: I measure extreme spread. (There are other ways, such as plotting coordinates for each impact and computing variances... in other words, a lot more work!) I bought a pair of calipers for the job... it makes things ever so much easier. :) 1) Measure from the extreme...

Sadly, there is such a thing as a bad back. I am a moderately healthy-looking guy in my 40's, but about 6 months ago I had a stupid accident while doing some manual labor. Now, picking up much more than one gallon jug of milk can put me in bed for weeks at the time with excruciating pain. As...

WALKERs210, Out of curiosity, I re-checked Outdoor Alabama as TenDriver suggested. I think FOP may be it for you. www.foprangeinc.com They are still open. I am a member there. :) They do have a lot more ranges open for members than the public, but as you found out, they have a...

Perhaps you are recalling the law about Air Soft guns requiring an Orange tip? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airsoft#Orange-tipped_airsoft_gun_muzzles I also found this: http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/dwcl/12551.php See sections 12553, and 12555, part (c)(3). Is that what you had in mind?

This is the honest truth. Despite my better judgement, I was trying to marry a strong anti two years ago. She is a very smart woman, but her bias against guns was almost totally emotional. Her feelings were so deep-seated that I doubt she would ever be able to lose them. This is the best plan...

All of this is out of character for Norway What I would like to add to this discussion is that many people here and in the US media seem to completely misunderstand the culture in Norway. I am half Norwegian, but All American. As a boy from the USA, I do not fully understand Norwegian...

I like 'em! I was at the range a few months back, and this ol' boy was at the rifle range with his new toy. This was the only Schmidt that I've seen, and the first time I'd heard of one. He let me shoot a few rounds. It was simply a joy to shoot. :) The 7.5×55mm is nothing to sneeze...

iLikeOldgunsIlikeNewGuns, Yep, 3 months. There's a LOT going on in my life right now, so other things kept me from worrying about it too much. I hope you get your refinished beauty back soon! Springfield only took about a month to fix things. I think that's actually a pretty good turn...

I can talk about the 32, but not the 380. They have incredible service! A family member bought a used 32. I looked at it and found out the insides had been "Bubba'ed" beyond all usefulness. Seecamp did a full rebuild, free of charge. 100% reliability after that. You have to love a...

It's Back! :) The 1911 came back from Springfield about 2 weeks ago. No charge! :) Life has kept me from getting to the range, but today I made a few hours. Everything works beautifully! :D I ran four different magazines dry, without any sign of a problem. Now, 3-months after...

There is definitely something to this, but I'm not at all clear what is best. Here's some more anecdotal evidence. A couple of months ago, I took out my most accurate 22 (A cheap Marlin 795 with a scope), Freshly cleaned. 3 to 5 MOA, 5-shot groups were the best I could do. I put the...

My apologies... I did search before I posted, but I flat missed this other thread. Legal questions answered, starting here: http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=7991276&postcount=57 Sorry. :( Mods, feel free to close/delete.

This article makes it seem that it is a crime in Canada to even own a gun, and it's worse to let a child see one. Canadians, please feel free to comment. I know I've heard of hunting and a long-gun registry in Canada... What is the actual situation? I live in Alabama, in the USA, and I am...

Yes, the link shouldn't be part of the locking, but it DOES make the barrel captive to the frame, not free-floating as it is in the Glock. I wasn't quite sure what the correct terminology should be here to get that point across. The 1911 mechanism seems more elegant, but the Glock has fewer...

Yes, yes, and YES!!!!! I'm a huge Glock fanboy. I clearly recognize and give homage to the Browning/1911 heritage. There are too many similarities! It's easier to list the few differences: - Polymer/Tenifer vs Steel - Striker vs Hammer - Locking block vs Link - No barrel bushing - Captive...
