.38 special too?

Haven't been here in a while and this is the first thing I see. Damn. RIP RC.

Check received yesterday. Unit returned on Jan. 21. So, yeah, batch check runs.

All I've ever had is what Harris now calls the HBL. But my two were purchased before the "M" and "S" styles, and the longer lengths, were available. They do everything I need them to do, but I only use them when on the bench or when shooting prone in the field. Sitting or standing I use the...

Do you have any supporting facts or documentation for this or are you just parroting the urban legend?

I only got through two pages of this thread, but I was only on about the 10th post before I found amusement in the people that said, "Mind your own business". Then, when it comes to 2nd ammendment rights those same people will say, "Speak out!". So when the gun control groups spew BS...
