Well Done. Favorite points: 1. "I'm not in the forgiveness business" 2. The orcs had painted white hands on their faces. Apparently they were fans of the Lord of the Rings movies. Adam

You can "hammer down" with a mag disconnect. One of our shooters with a BHP keeps an empty mag, the full range commands are the following: Unload and show clear slide forward show empty mag put empty mag in gun hammer down remove empty mag holster Besides, there's no award for...

I've been told that most of the non +p American stuff is too anemic to make PF out of a 4" barrel. I know S&B 158 gr LRN does make PF, since mine was chrono'ed at S&W winter championships. I've also been told that Fiocchi makes power factor, but haven't used any of it. I think most SSR...

All new 686's have the lock. It's a small hole directly above the cylinder release latch. Adam

Just shot one in an IDPA match today. I think it's one of the most fun to shoot guns I own. Adam

I picked this up somewhere online. I don't remember attribution "You don't take a pistol where you think you'll need a gun. If you think you'll need a gun, bring a rifle or don't go. You take a pistol in the off chance you might just need a gun" Adam

It's to make the book legal to sell in states with an Assault Book Ban. :) (Afterall, wasn't the ban about how stuff appeared?) adam

Kenneth, I'm using S&B 38 special 158g LRN ammo. It should make power factor with no problem and isn't that expensive(stinks though). You're welcome to try a few sometime. I'm waiting for some more to arrive. If it's in before this weekend I'll have it at Black Creek this weekend. If not...

It's still on the server.

The prodigy screwed up... he should have dumped an extra round and actually gone to slide lock, the FTDR is accessed even less than a PE for the wrong reload. :rolleyes: Why do I picture this prodigy's dad with a zz-top-ish beard? Adam

This site has a good listing on model numbers, frames, and other differences. Adam

The problem as I see it is not training. It's a mandatory hurdle that could and probably would be abused. I believe that most people here are in favor of people who take the responsibility of carrying upon themselves understand what that responsibility entails. The problem is what level of...

Dick, Very well said. Unfortunately, there are many, many people that think that the 2nd amendment protects the rights of hunters. All I think that those of us who believe RKBA covers Self defense, CCW, USPSA, Highpower, hunting, sporting clays, and all other applications can do is educate...

The worst to me personally was when I was SOing a shooter and one of his .45 bullets came back off the backstop and hit me precisely COM, knocking the wind out of me and leaving a bruise on my sternum. I was at another IDPA match when a fragment came off a popper and nicked one of the...
