Spoke with a nice lady in Customer Service this morning - of course, she doesn't know why that line was written on my repair order - but she could send an e-mail up to her managers to inquire (I really don't expect to hear back). I know things are tough all over - but based on my experience...

True - and I could do that - but if I ever have to try and sell the gun, I'd be sure to let them know that the hammer was bobbed at the factory, and, if someone halfway savvy finds that its not DAO... well, I wouldn't believe it was a factory job if I was that buyer. Also - I don't want someone...

I have a 1969 Second series blued Colt Detective Special that suffered a broken firing pin. About 7 weeks ago I sent it home to request repair and to get a quote on getting a bob job on the hammer. (I've always been fascinated with Fitz Specials, but they belong behind glass. I could never...

Looking at the "anonymous" video - would it be easy to ascertain an approximate location of where it was shot from?

CA's laws aren't about safety - they're about control. Compare the # of accidental shootings (or gun crime rates for that matter) in states with over bearing "safety" reqs versus those without. And I'm 100% in favor of people taking firearms/SD training. But when it becomes mandatory, it's...

Sounds like we could use him up in Milwaukee. Can't be any worse than what we've got now.

Thank you. Which reminds me: whenever I hear someone praise one of the advantages of a gun with a mag disconnect safety as "a good thing to have in a fight" - I know that somewheres in the back of their mind, there's a mental switch set simply to "Push button when scared." For some, that...

I just took the Lake-Express ferry from Milwaukee to Muskegon this weekend to compete in the MI-IDPA Championship (a mind-bendingly tough, but fun, match). As I was pulling in to their parking lot, there were huge signs at the entrances stating the "firearms were not allowed on the premises...

My first time shooting IDPA in MI, and all I can say is WATCH OUT! That was by far the most challenging IDPA match I've ever witnessed - and to think that the MD claims that next year will be even better? I'll just have to see that for myself. The format of employing the individual clubs...

There sure seems to be a lot of G34 shootin' SSP Experts here... How about one more! I'll be shooting Sunday (if the Lake Express ferry I'm taking Saturday doesn't sink, my Brother forgets to me up in Muskegon, or we crash on the way to our hotel in AA). What's amazing to me (having...

I know I am. I'd much rather have the Coasties drive their boats in circles around each other, using their PA systems to go "Doo-doo-doo! Doo-doo-doo!" and the occasional "THUMP... wheeeeeee.... Kah-BOOmah!".

From Mayor Barrett's 2/1/06 press release

Sounds like you may be murdering the trigger. Relax. No need to pull it fast when shooting for groups. Simply make the trigger travel straight back and let the gun going off be a pleasant surprise (take it all in as it's happening - that's Zen focus baby). If it takes, as an example...

Harries: People that were trained in it v. those that saw a picture of it an a book I was SOing a stage at an IDPA night shoot last Fall. Weapon mounted lights were not allowed at this particualr match. The stage was basically: Go up to a wall, and using it for cover, engage targets in...
