The longer trigger reach on the LCR along with the trigger/trigger guard shape make this gun gobbs easier for me to shoot accurately compared to my boot-gripped J frames. When the J has uncle Mike's combat grips, I'm almost as accurate. But of course I can't pocket carry those grips.

I tried wood grips on my M&P340 and dang did they hurt like heck. The LCR boot grip is very usable, hard on the side so that it doesn't drag and it still has a small cushion in the grip.

Whether or not it's dangerous probably depends on your physical makeup. Probably some ringing of the hands for a while afterwards. I've never shot magnums out of my 340M&P. I would just puchase a larger recoil reducing grip for the 340 and use that for hiking. You're still going to have 5...

I use the federal classic 2 3/4" #3 buckshot load for home defense in my 870. Winchester also has a 2 3/4" #3 buck load and a 3" #2 buck load. I believe that all the major american manufacturers that make shotshells offer some kind of slug load. I tried the Federal truball and remington load...

I recommend the 870 that was linked above by snarlingiron, that's what I use. I have had a 12 gauge 870 setup with Wilson extended tube and surefire forend and it was over >10 lbs with sidesaddle. I'm not a muscleman so it was tiring to hold up for extended periods and for sure I couldn't do...

Sold it last year, can't really remember how many rounds I fired through it after putting on the site. Couple hundred mostly birdshot probably 50 slugs and buck. For what it's worth, I read on one of the boards that Wilson doesn't pin the sights now either, just uses the epoxy.

The 870 Express model has a pressed in bead. I don't know about regular 870s. I cut the bead off of the pedistal with a hacksaw prior to installing the epoxied-on scattergun tech/trijicon front. When I bought the sights, they were a 'kit' with the sights, epoxy, jig for drilling the reciever...

I installed one on my 870 express 6 or 7 years ago. The express model has a pedistal with the bead on top of it. If I remember correctly, I cut off the bead and the Wilson/Trijicon front sight fit right over the pedistal. It should be straight if the pedistal is straight. Now, I just wish...

I think the scroll work on the H&H looks more tactical! Can you put a side saddle on that sucker?

Great post. I also measured mine out of curiousity a while back. Interesting that S&W posts weight of the scandiums with the Hogues and 642 with the Uncle Mikes to make them seem farther apart in weight. If I'm not mistaken, my CT-405 were lighter than the Uncle Mikes. Abner

Funny, this is exactly the same thing that I am considering. It's between the 6+1 870 express and the 5+1 Mossberg 500. Both in 20 gauge and both within $20 of each other. On the one hand, the 870 holds 1 more round, on the other the 500 has the top mounted safety and from what I've read...

Is the half-cock that you are talking about on the PX4 the same thing as it is on the 92F? If it is, I believe that the half-cock notch does NOT engage the hammer block safety if I remember the manual. Unless the act of decocking it with the decocker engages the hammer block and it stays...

I feel your pain... I sent in my M65-LS last month for a master action job and barrel replacement. The gun came back shooting 3" to the right @25 yards and the action would start sticking after less than 2 full cylinder rotations. So I sent it back with a note detailing the 2 specific...

I was quoted 30% more than that for a K-frame... Still, I guess I'd have a really cool M65-LS. Maybe if I win the lottery.

Yeah I saw the link on bowen's site of the K frame with those sights and got really excited, thought about upgrading my M65LS! Until I got a price quote. I'm sure it's worth it to someone, though. Very good idear. Maybe if they get enough interest they could get the rear sight produced for...

I have a 3" M65LS and like it a lot. Question about those 3" N frames I see posted... Are those ejector rods the same length as the one that comes on a 3" K frame? They look shorter... Thanks, Abner

Ditto what Rexster said. I prefer a front tritium dot only on my defensive guns.

I believe that tooltechgunsight can do that for you. They are the trijicon installation group. Their homepage shows the rear dots installed on a smith fixed sight. Adam

If I have a defensive handgun capable of accepting night sights then I always put them on. I have finally landed on Green front Orange Rear meprolights. The green easily stands out over the orange for a quick sight picture. I find with all green the rears are brighter b/c they are closer to...

Given your cost restraints and that you mention wanting a full size 9 as well, I would suggest an S&W 642 for ~350-400 and the rest can go into a Glock 9, XD 9or M&P 9. Adam
