Got an SW40VE a few years ago unfired for $350. A little polishing of the internals and an Apex trigger (just trigger not the kit) made this a good shooter for the price. Also put some Trijicon night sights on it. For a truck gun it fits the bill, I like it. I imagine the SD9VE would be much the...

Digital has gotten better over time although I don't think the workbench is the right place for them. Mechanical is the way to go for the shop floor. For someone that has little to no experience with precision micrometers a ratcheting spring thimble or friction thimble would be ideal. Starrett...

Clean it up and see if it works. I have a couple 760's with the metal receiver. They're fun to shoot at around 20-30 ft. I wouldn't worry about a scope though, they aren't that accurate. Although if you feel inclined as to challenge yourself I think any cheap scope will work. There really isn't...

LOL. No there's no grinding on it. I'll look closer when I get a chance. Like I said, it looks brand new.

Nice rifle. My friend has a 30-30 in immaculate condition. I couldn't find any serial#. Is that possible or was I not looking in the right place?

Could you be thinking of Patriot?

Not leading, it's munched. Either someone shoved something in there or it left the factory that way. Could've been foreign material in the chamber when fired. I'd definitely replace it since it cannot be fixed. I've been machining for over 20yrs so I know what I'm looking at. With modern cutters...

I'll have to check SW out. I only go to BP for camping gear or fishing tackle (I allready know what I want). There's a SW that just opened up a year ago not far from me. I live in Southern California and most people don't even know what to with half the stuff in BP anyway.

I got 50rds from a friend whos husband had passed (didn't even know he owned a gun). I know nothing about reloading so I didn't know cases could be different lengths. I thought the one on the left wasn't seated all the way down. I'll check OAL with calipers just for the hell of it. You guys...

What can you guys tell me about these 2 rounds. They're .38spl that I'm assuming are reloads. Don't know that I trust them.

Saltwater fishing for me. An overnight trip can cost $200+. Going on a 2 day in October that will run $700. Then add gas and food. The Long range guys spend thousands on 1 trip. Luckily I allready have all the rods and reels I need. If a trip gets canceled the money goes towards shooting...

SW40VE 3rd generation and it's perfect for what I use it for and no, it's not a paperweight.

I use a .40sw for SD because that's what caliber handgun was available at the time. I bought it from an acquaintance, SW40VE 3rd generation. When I heald it it fealt very comfortable. I've shot mostly larger calibers when I owned guns in the past so recoil wasn't a concern. I use plain...

Last year in March, not a panic paranoid buy though. My friend and I fish at night (till sunrise) in a spot where 911 won't work. I've always wanted to get a SD handgun for just such an occasion, he's armed and I'm not (knife doesn't count). Just before we started to head home I looked down and...

To each his/her own. #4-#6 bird shot will work fine for me. A 12g pump with an 18 1/2" barrel at a distance of 10'-15' with 5+1 and a full choke I will stop an attacker. If and most likely an attacker gets within 6' they will not survive the shots that come next. That's a lot of energy coming...

I watched the whooole thing waiting for some eye opening knowledge, didn't happen. The fact that he stated his credentials was in my opinion just saying he's not just some yahoo utuber. Almost everything he said was what I thought to be commonsense. I would agree with some of the comments about...

I have the SW40VE and only need to pull back on the slide an 1/8" to disengage it. The release tabs are a little on the small side. I use the strong hand over slide method quite easily. Maybe try just gripping the gun like you were going to field strip it and just practice moving the slide back...

Forgot about the maverick 88. I'm in no hurry so I'll just keep an eye out for a decent deal. Thanks for the replies.

Just curious how many of you have a sub $300 shotgun for home defense. Was looking at my LGS web page and they have a few different makes of 12g pumps with 18.5 inch barrel. Dickinson and EAA Churchill for example. I want to get one for home defense only so it needs to be reliable. Probably just...
