Yeah, I remember this thread being longer. I bet it's just a glitch. I don't recall anything remotely offensive.

Nice post lawboy, I have a 66-1 and a 19-3...both in 2.5" barrel length...great classic guns! Do you have a preference between blued and stainless?

Thanks for the info BlkHawk73! And, I like your signature too.

I have an SP101 I bought a couple of years ago without an internal lock. Do current production DA Rugers also not have a lock? I think this is the case since on the website under the .45 semi-auto P345, they explicity state that there is a lock. Can someone please confirm? My...

I have the 332, discontinued awhile back. It is a nice 6-shot alternative to the .38 snubby.

That's interesting. I've also seen a female officer in my local PD that carried a revolver. Appeared to be a stainless S&W with Hogue rubber monogrips. Couldn't tell for sure what model, but it didn't look like a 686. Probably a .38 Special K-frame. It also didn't appear to have a 4"...

That's what I have in my 442. I believe I have heard any K-frame and up with a model number is okay with +P, not the J-frames.

Just curious what people would choose if they were put into a LEO role and required to choose a revolver as their primary duty/service sidearm. For the sake of this thread, the revolver can be something that is currently in production, a model that was produced in the past, or a model that...

My guess is the rule is in place to increase perceived safety. It's a sad state of affairs in my neck of the woods. The pistol ranges around me have rules such as no rapid firing, no double taps, and no targets that resemble humanoid shapes (bullseye-types only). I can understand that the...

Thanks guys! I live in such a gun-unfriendly area that there is only 1 range that is relatively close. Unfortunately, it is usually always packed, and they have rules like no more than 1 round in the mag. The next closest range would be a couple of hours away, which makes it hard (for me)...

I bought an AR15 last year when "the ban" ended, but a year later, I still haven't found time to get to a rifle range. In any case, I'd like to make it a point to start practicing with it soon. I noticed the rear sight on my AR15 is slightly askew. Is this normal?

My P228 is one of my favorite handguns. I had the opportunity to rent a P229 at the range recently, and I felt the 228 was much better balanced for me. Of course, it's probably due to the fact that I am more experienced with the 228. Haven't yet had a failure.

I went through something similar before I settled on the 442. I tend to like blued guns as far as looks. Unfortunately, at one point, I didn't care for the 442 properly, and small patches of rust developed on the outside of the barrel, as well as on the edges of the cylinder flutes. At that...

I have 2 sets of Lip Grips for my M64. Definitely prefer them over the Hip Grips for look and feel. Totally comfortable and concealable for me. I think it would be fine for daily carry if you so choose. A good belt is a must. Also, the Lip Grips are a bit thick. I grew to like them, but...

I actually was able to rent a G17 at the range this weekend. I was very pleasantly surprised. At one point, I only shot single stack semi-autos, the double stackers always felt really big for me. But now that I've put in some time with the P228, the G17 felt like a perfect fit for my hand. I...
