I used to have a P232. It was %100 reliable, but the slide bit me if I wasn't careful. Mine didn't have a safety or a lanyard loop.

Revolvers have closer tolerances than pistols so they're more sensitive to grit and debris. I had a friends S&W (in .45 ACP) lock up because of unburnt powder under the extractor star.

The sandbags are very effective, but they will make the dresser too heavy to slide. You may have to cut the legs off and replace them with wheels in case you need to roll it in front of the door.

Does a sandbag emplacement count as hard cover, or do I need to get behind actual hardcover books?

If it's a marketing gimmick, they must have forgotten to notify the marketing department. I haven't seen any marketing hyperbole from Glock on 4th gen pistols.

Yes, the height, width and length are the same, it's just heavier. The other difference is it has removable grip panels so you have more options to dress it up. If you want a laser, you can use laser grips instead of the type that clips in front of the trigger guard and interferes with...

I haven't tried one of these, but how about an all-steel Kahr MK9? It's smaller and thinner than your Kel-Tec P11; I'm pretty sure it has a better trigger. It's a little more expensive, but you can sell the P11 to make up the difference. http://www.kahr.com/PA-1_9mm_mk.html

No, being able feel the wood grain doesn't necessarily mean the finish is gone. It could have a thin finish that doesn't fill the grain. If water beads and doesn't darken the wood after a couple minutes, then it's still sealed. You want it to be sealed so that any oil or other stuff that gets on...

If you find it, don't use it to hammer in the locking pin on a machine gun mount. ***GRAPHIC*** No, it doesn't become more dangerous. If you find it and don't want it, take it to a gun shop or shooting range; I'm sure someone will take it off your hands. This ammo goes for $5 a round. Find...

Yes, if the finish is gone you would see and feel the wood grain. If there's still some finish, he could buff it with 1000 & 2000 grit emery paper (from paint area of automotive store), then put some paste wax on it. It doesn't look bad from the pictures. If he leaves it like this, he won't...

Yes, he probably took some finish off. He could try to match the finish and refinish just that area. It would be hard to get a perfect match though. For a laminated stock, I would probably try two parts of semi-gloss polyurethane varnish mixed with one part odor free mineral spirits. Wipe it...

You must be thinking of scopes for spring-piston air rifles. The reason they have special rimfire scopes is that they're focused to be parallax free at a closer range, e.g. 75 yards rather than 150 yards. The scope should be under warranty; call Simmons and they'll give you a new one.

That's only for an AR with EoTech sight. Your best bet is to bore sight at 25 yards, then shoot at 25 yards. Dead-on at this range will usually be on paper at 100. Use a ballistic calculator to see exactly where your load should hit at 25 yards for a long range zero...

I used to use LPS3 on outdoor farm equipment. It's very messy after it dries for a few months and turns into gummy wax; works ok, but you can't just wipe it off when you go back to use the equipment. The stuff is expensive and the nozzle tends to clog up when you don't use it for a while. Motor...

The main problem is condensation on cold metal when the temperature drops. It will help a lot to cover the equipment with tarps or old sheets to prevent cold drafts from hitting metal. I've seen this effect on a table saw in my garage; an area of the cast iron top that was covered had no rust...
