The DS is sweet and just what I'm looking for, the only problem with a DS is finding one and THEN being able to afford it! I've looked and looked at DS, J-frames, Taurus 85, etc. and the SP 101 keeps looking better and better. It is right at the top of my "cost vs value curve." I've done a...

The price of the K6s puts it out of my league. Otherwise it would probably be No. 1 for me.

I have dry fired my LCR quite a bit and it didn't seem to help, I'll dry fire some more. It looks like the LCR just isn't a good fit for me which is too bad since it conceals so well. I want to replace it with a revolver and not a semiauto so my "muscle memory" doesn't get confused with my other...

I carry my .38 LCR in the AIWB position and it is impossible to detect there and I frequently forget I'm carrying it. It is a great carry weapon but I have a problem with it. I'm not even close to accurate with it despite many trips to the range and lots of rounds through it! I have changed the...

Thanks! Thank you yamaha! Yours is the only reply to my post. The spring just will not fit between the mag release button and the frame w/o binding and I have tried every other position of the spring. Nothing else would work. I tried it like your post suggested and that didn't work either...

My Taurus PT 809C came with a sweet SA trigger and a DA pull that felt like a rusty gate with some sand thrown in for good measure, also, the mag release was next to impossible to operate. So I took it apart as I do with almost all of my new firearms. Some 400 grit sand paper and some polishing...

I currently carry my LCR in a Remora holster in the AIWB position or pocket carry. The holster a marvel of versatility and concealment. I only have one problem- when I work bent over for a long time the pistol creeps up and if I don't push it back it will eventually fall out. It fell out while I...

Thanks to all! For the time being, at least, I have ordered a Limbsaver grind-to-fit in the Nitro series. It is 1.5 inches thick and I think it will make the LOP just right after I sand the butt down to get it straight. The next step, if it is needed, will be to try an in-stock recoil reducer. I...

Fairly recently I purchased a Mosin-Nagant 91-30, mainly for defense and range time. The last time I took it out it thumped my old shoulder so hard it hurt. Thinking it was just me I then handed it to my son who is almost impervious to pain and after 3 rounds he refused to shoot it any more...

After getting my TNW Suomi 31 all together I discovered that my old eyes and arms need some help on this one! I can't find anything on a grip that would attach to the barrel shroud. I really don't like to support it by holding the magazine, I worry about causing feed problems and it's not...

Thanks for all the replies, I'm stunned by the quantity and quality of the replies! But I should have known that the comment about not using corrosive ammo would take center stage when my real question concerned the seeming variability of the TUL ammo. I have retrofitted my MN with a rubber...

When I took my MN to the range last week an odd thing happened. The first round I fired had average recoil (compared to previous outings) successive rounds made my shoulder really sore, to the degree that I developed a bad flinch after only 3 "hot" rounds. Wanting to believe it was my...

When I took my new LCR to the range last week I had trouble with the shape of the trigger. It has enough "curve" that the tip of the trigger digs into my finger. After only about 30 rounds my finger was hurting, after a few more rounds it became unbearable. The tip of the trigger was digging...
