I usually list my job as "Flunky" but I am the manager of a wholesale/retail tire business.

I had problems right out of the box with mine. (See http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=317526) I sent it back to S&W and have had no problems since.

Looking at my .45 laying on my desk, it is marked IWI.

I think it will really depend on the county. None of them should be a problem. Down in the boonies of Crenshaw County, you walk into the Sheriff's office, fill out the application, they run a background check, you walk out with your permit. No picture was required. I think mine was $25. They...

Update Well, after looking for another clip to try locally and not finding one, I sent the pistol back to S&W. It came back in yesterday after a month(with the holiday's I thought that was pretty good). What the short letter said they did was "adjust slide to bbl fit" and "barrel...

I love my baby eagle. As NIGB said its fun to shoot. Mine has been accurate. The only thing I would change would be the slide. I wish it was a little bigger, but it is a semi compact so...This has been my "work" gun since I bought it.

I got my 3.5" 27-2 about 3 years ago for $300. Of course it didn't come with a box. I would agree that its a little big for concealed carry. It is a great gun!

When I first got the pistol I field stripped, cleaned, and oiled it before I shot it and again after, thinking I may have done something wrong when I reassembled it the first time. Everything checked out. When I got home last night it was too dark to shoot. I did load up 8 rounds of the...

I was using Blazer Brass FMJs. I picked up a box of Remington and a box of Winchesters a few minutes ago(only things to be found locally). If there's enough light when I get home I'm gonna try them.

X-Breath, its failing to seat. The bullet is trying to enter the chamber and the back of the casing doesn't seem to be coming up high enough before the slide returns. I started off putting 8 rounds in the mag and then went to 7 and then 6 with no better luck. I won't have time during the week...

I just got a new SW1911PD Tactical Rail Series this week. I finally got the chance to try it out today and put 50 rounds through it. Out of that 50 I had about 15 feed failures resulting in jamming. This was normally on the first round out of the (factory)mag and then a couple of times half way...

We're not a company store but I wholesale goodyear and kelly tires. I'll ask our gdyr rep about it.

Thanks for the responses. This makes me feel better about making the investment. Wil Terry, look under the fender. It should be seated to the hub. :)

I have a M27-2 .357 third or fourth hand that has my curiosity running. Its marked below the wheel as APD 544. I was told when I bought that was an Atlanta PD issue. The little info I've been able to find on the net suggests its Austin. I was wondering if anyone has used the customer service...

Here's a couple of mine.:) S&W Model 27-2 .357 High-Standard Sentinel Deluxe .22
