Backup Is there a backup plan for the 642 Club in case Oleg and Derek can't work things out and get all lawyered up we we get put in foster care?

The Renegade is my favorite. http://www.adcofirearms.com/acc/ProductLine_.cfm?product_category=Holsters&subcategory=Ankle%20Holsters Followed closely by the Ken Null. http://www.klnullholsters.com/ The Renegade is more compact and easier to pull the pants leg up to get to; but not by a...

Is there anything the old wheel gunners can do to help keep The High Road high? There is an incredible amount of information here. I am sure we all hope for some settlement that can keep the community and information intact. The 642 Club wouldn't be quite the same somewhere else...

Everyone is different, so our experience may or may not be relevant. I took my wife to a range/store that had rentals. We were thinking J-frame when we went. 640 or 642. She shot those well, but what she really liked was the 686 with 2 1/2" barrel. That is now her home defense gun. She...

Thanks guys. I knew THR would come through. I will order the Brownell's, but mashing a case mouth is a handy field expedient. And this will join the archive and come up on the Google THR search.

Here is a link to Troy. I think all of the styles have the same pin configuration. http://www.troyind.com/front.html

All of the Googled links said the Troy folding sights do not need a special tool. But using pliers just doesn't seem like a good idea. Troy does not have anything on its site.

Google has let me down. I just bought my first AR with Troy folding sights and need to adjust the elevation of the front sight. I pushed down the pin and used small needle nose pliers to rotate the sight. Surely there is an easier way. I am concerned about damaging the post grabbing it...

A great complement to a 640 or 642 in a Mika pocket holster is a 442 or 642 in a Renegade ankle holster. Ankle carry is terrible if you are standing, particularly in a crowed area (pardon me madam, I will get my nose out of your backside after I retrieve my weapon), but ideal when you are...

We had the Rule 1 discussion at the Armed Citizen Legal Defense Network Forum (http://www.armedcitizensnetwork.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=43 - a great organization worthy of support by all of us) My proposal there for a "new" Rule 1 was: Thou shalt not fart around with guns. Ever...

Nem It is a 640. It was bright shiny stainless steel. Now it is matte black and the sight alignment and picture are much easier to acquire quickly. I still have my 642. Its finish does not glare as badly in the sun as the 640. I like the extra weight of the 640. It rides nicely in a...

640 DiamondKote and 442 jt1 posted about M&R Arms DiamondKote http://www.mrarms.com/index.html and I was having a lot of trouble with sight picture in bright sunlight with my 640, so I sent it in. Now my 442 has a big brother. Thanks for the tip. THR comes through again.

Thanks guys. I am wanting to expand my knowledge and decide if I want to buy a semi-automatic rifle. My affinity is for revolvers and levers. Smiths and Marlins. But I want to at least peek over the hill at the other areas. I have a couple of semi-auto pistols, but do not enjoy...

As a denizen of the Revolver Forum, 642 Club, my knowledge of AR and AK platforms is nil, but I am interested in learning. (Not to imply that other members of the Forum or Club are as uninformed, but I suspect I am not alone.) A sticky in the Rifle Forum describing the anatomy and physiology...

My wife is proud of her Life Membership and carries her card. She also signed us up for NRA plates for our vehicles. Good woman. She has her CDWL, but has not decided to carry yet.
