I sold mine after having the mag catch break twice,it a shame as it ran 100% and was accurate enough for a pocket pistol.i was carefull not to slam home the mag and damage the catch.

3" S&W 65-3 on my right side and a kel tec P-11 in my front pocket.

I opened carried for 13 years all over arizona with no problems.I did get my CCW permit and do carry concealed 90% of the time.

I have a 1st gen 44 bulldog that i have to tighten up screws on every 150 rds or so. Other than that it's been one of my better revolvers i've owned.With my reloads and if i do my part i can get 2" groups at 15 yards. I've looked at a few of the newer charter 2000 guns in the local...

He needs to fire some different pistols before laying down his cash.

I spent last summer carrying a 3" S&W 625-7 chambered in 45 colt. It helped that i had a stiff belt and a well build but no name OWB holster. I would just use a oversized T shirt for concealment,it seemed to work just fine.

At one time i had to use birdshot for HD but with a turkey choke and some Remington #4 turkey loads i didn't feel defenseless at all.

My Mossberg 500A 12 gauge would beat me up until i put out a limbsaver recoil pad. Felt recoil with reduced or managed recoil buckshot loads are close to a AR-15,maybe a little heavier but not by much.

I would have her fire one first,it may handle well in the shop but recoil could be a issue.

www.ammunitiontogo.com has the 12 gauge 1oz Brenneke KO slugs,13.95 +shipping for 25 rounds. They also have great prices on various other slugs and buckshot. I ordered 5 boxes of Winchester 12 ranger 00 buck and 5 boxes of Fed Tru-ball 12 gauge slugs. They came out to 4.00 bucks a...

I like 2 3/4 managed recoil 12 gauge 00 buck for home defense.Less muzzle blast/recoil mean quicker follow up shots.With a limbsaver recoil pad on my mossberg felt recoil is quite low.I can put 5 rounds of 2 3/4" instead of 4 3" rounds in my shotgun

Hogue grips for the 85 should work as they are a bit smaller than the grips from the factory. But they might be too small depending on your hands as they leave the back strap open.

I had great luck with any 22lr ammo in my 21A that was not bulk packed.My favorite load was the Federal small game load that's packed in the 100 plastic box.Any bulked packed ammo would give me too many Failures to feed to make them worth while.

38/357mag for me,it can be found in many different size/types of guns.Tons of different loads which can be found just about anywhere.

In limited testing i found that the Federal classic 125gr jhp would get 1300fps from my 2" 640-1.The Winchester 158gr jhp only clocked 1175fps from the same revolver. In a Sp-101 i would try the Winchester 145gr silvertip first as the Sp-101's i've owned would shoot quite low with...
