I always check the “pre-owned” shelf for older S&W wheelies too. But it’s a hard pass if any sport the dreaded Hillary Hole.
That monstrosity kills it for me every time regardless of price. 🙄
Ah meh, blah. … At day’s end it’s still a janky Taurus. 🙄
Hold out for the occasional S&W “police trade-in,” whether foreign or domestic, if you want something that retains any quality.
The rule of thumb for ’operator’ types is to have a minimum of six (6) factory magazines per pistol.
Three are dedicated practice mags. The other three are dedicated carry mags, … and as always mo’ mags for either purpose being better.
Sounds like instead of selling off his guns, OP should strongly consider moving to a Free State.
From all the So. Dakota commercials I’m seeing (staring their Gov. Kristy Noem), it would seem that S.D. would be a great state to relocate to, buy rural property, and then build your own personal...
Well, some didn't straight from the factory - if an L.E. Dept or agency made that specific request (e.g., FBI and KSP 10mm model 1076s).
Similarly with the slide-mounted decocking lever. On some L.E. guns, like my ex-L.E. 4566, the lever is decock-only. Once you thumb-down the hammer, the...
I have a pack of really nice-shooting 1911s and all are reliable but I have to agree with this. My S&W 4506, 4566, and 2nd Gen 645 are my favorite .45acps.
The 4566 is in the carry rotation, and the 645 is my primary range gun for running drills and testing handloads. Not one issue with any of...
Well, this thread reminds me of something a cop acquaintance said a few years back ….
“You may beat the rap but you’ll never beat the ride.” To which he added: “Most times that’s to the county lock-up. But sometimes it’s to the morgue.”
It seemed, at the time, he was offering a...
Dude, please. 🙄
Does nobody bother to do a bit of research anymore before they post? They’re are tons of “10mm stops bear” reports out there. Here are just a few ….

I have a 1066 in my EDC rotation. With the right holster, it’s certainly no worse to carry concealed than the same size ‘Commander’ (4.25”) 1911.
On the mags, yeah, a 10XX-series pistol with 6 mags is a heck of a good deal! In decent condition, those 10XX mags are fetching right on $80-$90...
Which itineration? …. Is it an early true 4506 (no dash) or a 4506-1, … or a still later 4506 rev 2, 3, or 4?
Does it have two or three lasered lines on the left-side of the frame?
Is it an ex-L.E. ‘trade-in’ 4506?
Box and papers?
How many mags with the gun? (Good condition 45XX-series...
So do I.
The three keys there are: (1) having the right holster and belt combo (you might need to get a bit spendy for the right combo); (2) where you want the gun positioned when concealed (3-4 o’clock vs. AIWB); and (3) how do you intend to dress for it?
Perhaps most importantly when...
The dispersion of that group indicates you're pulling the trigger left and downward rather than pressing it straight back cleanly.
Pro-Tip: Engage in daily dry-fire practice for at least an hour. Focus on achieving a clean ‘straight-back‘ trigger press that doesn’t disturb the alignment of the...
