I'm with the Model 66. Mine has a 2 1/2" barrel, and I would prefer a 3", but either way that is a great gun to carry and a very fine gun to shoot. You can see the sights, the trigger can be tuned beautifully, and they can be very accurate. I once had to shoot mine indoors, in the dark...

The plastic bag is way wrong. Replace that with a Bore Store sock or one of the similar products. No foam for storage, it's okay for back and forth to the range. Kroil is great for the rough or porous finishes. Follow it up with Eezox, Brownell's Rust Preventitive, Breakfree Collector (if...

I'm talking about the pattern created on the inner surface of the rings by the lapping process. As you check your progress, you can see the shiny high spots that were holding the scope, and the larger untouched areas that probably weren't touching at all. If the finish isn't being taken off...

I had gotten lazy over the last few years, and stopped lapping rings. I wasn't seeing any problems, and I hated the clean-up. I was helping a friend mount a scope recently, and his attention to detail kind of woke me up, or maybe kicked me in the butt! I decided to go back and lap about ten...

My best measurement is about 3/8" drop at the comb for the B&C, and a little under 5/8" drop for the Tacticool. I didn't have a factory stock to measure. Since they are probably cut to allow easy use of the iron sights, I would suspect the factory stock would have about 3/4" to even 7/8" of...

I believe the quality of the barrel has a much greater impact on the accuracy of the finished rifle than the barrel length, within reasonable limits. If I were assembling an AR-10 pattern rifle (I've never assembled one, but I understand it is not cheap!) I would not economize on the barrel...

I have one of each of those stocks. I don't see any measurable difference in accuracy using either stock, and I have switched rifles between the two stocks just to check. Both stocks shoot very well, for me. The Boyd's Tacticool stock works fine. It fit well on my rifle. I got mine...

Old Dog, without trying to be a hole or anything, I have a few thoughts. I have no idea what you know, but I am thinking it must be pretty quiet in your neck of the woods. If we were in a room, I could fill that room with credible witnesses to the aftermath of many of those events. That's...

People who have yet to enjoy the sensation of a lethal confrontation have no idea. CJ, your instructor is right to emphasize the loss of motor control, but that's only part of the problem. There are a variety of mental malfunctions that occur as well. For some reason a lot of instructors...

Folks who have deliberately walked into harm's way on a regular basis know a couple of things about human behavior under that level of stress. One, everybody is a Hollywood action movie star if you ask them before the first curtain goes up. That script often gets rewritten after the first...

I recently purchased a new Model 640-3 with a 2 1/8" barrel. This gun came fitted with a pinned black serrated ramp 0.123" in width. My eyes are old and need all the help they can get! This front sight works as well as any I can imagine with the shallow 0.133" wide rear notch on my gun...

I spent most of the "working" part of my life in federal law enforcement, in a very active agency in a very active district. I worked extensively with other agencies, so I have a professional perspective on concealed carry. The vast number of professionals I know carried the same gun in the...

Back in the days when I had a job, my concealed carry gun for many years was a SIG P239 in .40 S&W. I carried it inside my waistband when I wore a jacket or an untucked shirt (although I can't really remember wearing an untucked shirt very often!:confused:), and I carried it on my ankle more...

Back in the days when I had a job, my concealed carry gun for many years was a SIG P239 in .40 S&W. I carried it inside my waistband when I wore a jacket or an untucked shirt (although I can't really remember dressing like that), and I carried it on my ankle more often. That gun is totally...
