I've been using full moons in my 327, and I like how much faster and simpler reloading can be with them. So I've been looking at my 642, and wondering if anybody has had their J frame cut for moon clips. If so, how much did it cost and does it work well? I'd kinda like to retain the ability...

This is a replacement thread, since I goofed when making the first. Please make your choices here, even if you did so in the first one. As with the first, assume you are given a GI-spec M1911A1 of high quality. Don't include qualitative improvements, but do specify feature improvements...

I got this idea from another thread. Let's pretend you're able to begin with a basic GI-spec 1911, and you have an unlimited amount of cash to spend upgrading it with the features you want on it. Mind you, I am only considering features here, not qualitative differences (meaning, a bull barrel...

The amended, compromised, and tweaked version of SB 62 has now passed the MO Senate and House, and it is a certainty that Governor Blunt will sign it. So, as of August 28, MO's laws change in the following ways: 1) Castle Doctrine (no duty to retreat) officially exists in any domicile or...

OK, this is a question that has been bugging me. Where is the best place to obtain appropriately sized & shaped boxes for shipping of handguns and long guns? The boxes available at places like Office Depot/OfficeMax/etc. are much closer to cubic, which are not conducive to firearms shipping...

OK, a few weeks ago I sent this email to the ATF. Given some of our discussions, I thought I'd go straight to the source. I had forgotten about this, but I said I'd post the reply. It's a 5 part reply. This is the "bound book." We knew this one. This is where we had the...

I was thinking about this last night, and I just wasn't sure. My 642 lives in a pocket holster, or occasionally in a belt slide OWB. When you carry IWB, is the cylinder above the beltline, or is it at the same level? I'd think that if it were above the beltline, then the whole thing...

OK, I just saw the Lord of War movie (I was waiting for Netflix; I wasn't interested in giving them REAL money). Although I realize there have been a few threads with comments already posted, I just feel the need to post my own critical review. It is a MS Word document, attached below. My...

I seem to have recently come into possession of an older Remington 1100. It (as far as I can tell) was made in May 1971, was chambered in 12 gauge for 2 3/4" shells, and was purchased by my step-grandfather. He died in 1995, and my father took possession of the shotgun. I have "liberated" it...

Well, my continual scanning of the Wal-Mart gun racks has paid off. I found a Remington 597 in .22LR (was looking for a plinker anyway- 'dem groundhogs are gonna be back) with the camo stock for only $140. It is not listed on Remington's site or in their 2006 calendar, so I am guessing it was...

OK, I got the green light from my new wife (she is lovely, intelligent, and all around wonderful) for a new pocket gun. I want to keep the cost low; this is for when my 5" 1911 is too large, so I am going for the $300 range. Right now, the ones I am looking at are: Taurus M85 ultralight...

The short version: Phoenix fire/rescue teams have been suspended from FEMA-managed activities because they were taking armed police escorts for protection on search-and-rescue runs. http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/10/04/D8D1KDB80.html Apparently they expect EVERYBODY to be easy prey in...

OK, I have come into possession of a S&W .22LR revolver (double action). It is about a 5 inch or so barrel, with a 6 shot cylinder. There are no model number markings; simply "22 Long Rifle CTG" on the side of a barrel. It is blue steel, and is almost certainly mid-60s or earlier vintage...
