The ones I've run across so far either have the clips riveted on -or- the ID code end's in ZN (for example MC 1.25 Zn). They also bob around with the clips :) Leo

Dr. Cornatzer is described as a "Dermatologist, Falconer, and Conservationist" according to the Perigrine Fund website I'm sure his personal agenda had nothing at all to do with the results.. It's really a shame to toss all that meat when people are going hungry.. Leo

I'm fond of all my Rugers. My first rimfire pistol was a MKII, and my first centerfire pistol was a KP89. The KP89 was a bit on the 'chunky' side in the grips, but I always found it to have good accuracy. Unfortunately I sold it during the 'great 9mm purge of 2007'. The only reason I let...

Well thanks to all your advise I found a set like those in Kamerer's pic #5. The gun itself is off for a tune + moon clips. I'll post pic's when all is back together. Leo

Thank you all for the information, advice, and photos! I immediately fell in love with the 'smooth target' version as posted in Kamerer's last picture. I checked your classified post and unless I missed it didn't see any that were still available? I suppose I'll have to go do some...

Hi, Wondering if anyone could advise me the correct factory grip for a S&W 66-1? I picked one up a few years ago (for a song) but it has what I believe is an aftermarket grip on it, that I find to be very poor. I'd like to track down some orginal (or at least correct style) stocks for it...

I work at a garage, thankfully the Exide man (they deliver our batteries also) hasn't started trying to buy the ww's yet.. It's a dealership, so perhaps they have some type of contract deal with the chain stores. Generally I keep a good supply on hand, and give the rest away to fellow...

I like shooting 'em all. Generally don't have trouble adapting to a specific gun with a bit of practice. I do hate chasing brass, and that's pretty much got me converted over to an all wheel gun fleet. I don't know if I 'shoot' better with them, but I enjoy it more. Now if that darn SRH...

Here in NY you don't get the little envelope, off to the State Police to be scanned and entered into the COBIS database. It applies to all new revolvers as well as semi's. The whole scheme has proven to be a complete flop and waste of $$ for everyone involved. If I had the option I'd just...

I got a decent laugh out of this bit.. I have to assume that he believes every 18-25 year old "kid" in college is as stupid as he was/is.. He'd be better served pushing for a refund on his 'higher education'.. That poorly written editorial (or whatever it's supposed to be) reads as if...

Playing with various 'brands' of brake cleaner on a daily basis, I think it's worth mentioning that they vary a tremendous amount depending on who made them.. The CRC brand stuff we used to get was very mild (so mild in fact it would barely remove oil / grease). We've got some newer stuff...

I'm very fond of my 686-5.. It's been very good to me over the course of the few years I've owned it (picked it up NIB in ~03). Wouldn't sell it for 3x's what I payed for it. If I had to sell all my guns, save one, this would be the one I'd keep. The GP100 is also a fine gun, and I wouldn't...

Yikes.. I completely misread that and started thinking 38 special.. my apologies. Leo

Deleted, info not related to thread, sorry. Leo

I've attatched it, I'm not much of a letter writer and haven't slapped the stamp on yet, so comments are welcome. Leo Subject : A09819 – Microstamping requirement for semiautomatic firearms Dear Assemblywoman Sayward, I'd like to start by thanking you for the excellent job you have...
