In my S&W 340 PD, 4 rounds of Critical Defense .38+p, and the fifth round is a .357! If I have to shoot that 5th round, it might as well knock me out with the recoil.

Crap. I'm 57.

Is it true that the grip on the G19 version is shorter than an actual Glock 19?

Ditto!

I wanted to keep this going - I've had the same observations - the BC loader worked but bent a few rounds in the BX-25. When hand-loaded, I'm still getting 2 stovepipes per mag after. 3 loads through them.. Hoping for a great loader for them.

Gotta say, the 4" 686-M has the nicest trigger. (Pay no attention to the little guy - S&W all the way.)

Hotshot10: For using my 686 4" in IDPA, I chose a Safariland 568 Custom Fit for Revolvers Holster - STX plain blackk, Left Hand 568-09-412. It's not leather, but leather-y! $30 online.

Top Gun - the only place I've ever bought a pistol on impulse (a stainless H&K P7). Great folks.

David Fortier in Shotgun News (Volume 65, Issue 2) last year wrote an article called, "Building an Ultra-Affordable AR." Bottom line: $119 complete lower, $299 upper, $120 bolt carrier assembly, $20 charging handle, $58 back up sight. Total $616. He also recommended a couple of scopes to match.

Beretta Jaguar was mentioned by Larry Vickers on one of his shows as a great semi-auto .22lr. There's also an Israeli Mossad back-story on it.

I wish IDPA would create a shower stage to test out some of these scenarios.

Oh, sorry, I was thinking the PM9 / CM9, not the CW.

Isn't this small enough for an in-pocket holster? I know the J-frame that several said it replaces is, and I thought it's supposed to be carry-able in the front pants pocket.

S&W 586 6." I have the stainless version - the 686 - and it's great at the range. If you're older than 40, I suggest getting one with the sight-mount holes already drilled, and attach a micro red-dot. Some brands have the specific mount to keep it low, but a rail-mount works also.

Great thread. I will bring it back and stay on track: I've been thinking about replacing the sights on my 3.5" barrel 317. Because I can't get the standard sights dialed in. The Safety and Instruction Manual (I bought the gun new) merely shows which way the elevation and windage screws turn...

Hey, we're guys. We solve "problems" - even where they don't exist!

I fell under the spell of an HK P7 (hard chromed) that was in a gun shop I trusted that I had stopped by for some CLP. When I got home with it, I waited until dinner and told my wife that for the first time, I bought a gun on impulse, but if i ever had to sell it, I'd make a profit. Then I...

I guess I picked the right first rifle! Hope my next one is as reliable. What it will be, I don't know - a new upper, an AK, a 308....

I have the same DS speedloader set-up (8-round version) for the Airweight S&W 317 3.5" Kit Gun, which comes with the Hi-Viz sight. Not a target revolver, but this is the easiest gun to use with newbies at the range (along with my Beretta Jaguar for a semi-auto).

Waiting for a good laser (green!) to show up for it.
