After years of searching for a good concealed carry method I came across what's called a "Safepacker." It was originally designed as a holster for mountain rescus folks, but has evolved into an outstanding CCW holster. It has a large belt loop on the back, but I carry it suspended by a 1.5"...

Don Hume H710. http://www.donhume.com/Products/ProductsList.cfm I have used quite a number H710's over the years (one for each gun) and it's by far my favorite. Kent

Ruger Rear Sight Heights Howdy. Ruger catalogs two different rear sight blade heights for their adjustable rear sights in their parts catalog for the GP-100 and Redhawk. Those blades are interchangeable with the Blackhawk and Super Black Hawk rear sight blades. As I recall, there's about...

Side Plate Screws I just found this thread on a "640" search, so I hope it's not too late. 99 % of the time whenever we found an Agent's S&W in the condition you describe he had inadvertently swapped the two round head side plate screws. My new 642 has a screw / plunger arrangement that's...

Howdy Tecumseh. Thanks for the response. Actually, I was doing a search for ADP to see if anyone had experience with it and frankly didn't check the date. Reading those posts kinda reminded me of how folks might respond if Mercedes came out with a low priced model to compete with the Kia...

Amazing! Amazing! My hats off to George Hill and gte217e. Sixty-one posts and they were the only ones I found who had actually fired the ADP and spent any time with it. Most seemed to be primarily focused on appearance. Those negative posts would make sense if the ADP and the CQB cost...

Hello Gunsmoker. We taught folks to set up their DA grip as follows: 1) Grasp the empty revolver with the non-shooting hand around the cylinder and frame with the gun canted at about a 45 degree angle from the vertical. 2) Insert the trigger until the first joint (from the tip) of the...

SnWnMe: Interesting test. I can only shed a little light on the differences in "reload times" between the two using LEO duty gear. The test was conducted over a 2 month period every Saturday morning using 10 volunteer Academy students. All reloads were performed in front of a video camera...

Wes, I believe that they are good quality sights and would serve you well. A fellow instructor had two Glock-22’s with Novaks on both. One had a standard square rear notch opened to ~ .160,” and the other was fitted with what they call the “Ghost.” Most sights are way too tight IMO for...

Thanks much gentlemen, that's encouraging indeed. Kent

My hat is off to those who took the time to answer the thread originator’s question. To those who commented on punctuation and literacy all I can say is: "I am truly amazed." Kent

Thanks Kris. All I have to do now is save the $$$ for the Trapdoor carbine. I tried a rifle today for comparison. Big difference in balance and perceived weight. According to the specs it's only 1.5#, but it felt like 4 or 5 pounds, probably because of the length. Thanks again, Kent

Howdy. I made the mistake of shouldering today what I believed would be a rifle with poor ergonomics. Boy was I wrong! It was a Pedersoli Trapdoor Springfield Carbine. Question: I'd very much appreciate any info regarding the felt recoil of this 7 pound .45-70 carbine with the factory...

Ruger shows it on their web site with a .pdf download. http://www.ruger-firearms.com/Firearms/N-NewProductInfo.html Kent

Hi WC. The .38 Special Wadcutter is one outstanding anti-personnel round! A gentleman (I have long forgotten his name) wrote a book regarding "Nose Configuration Factor." He was a fluid engineer and believed in the Hatcher Formula (Mass x velocity x cross-sectional area x nose configuration...

Just another thought. You might consider a good quality .38 Spl. like the Model-67 S&W. 130 grain FMC .38's are quite reasonable price wise for practice with fairly mild recoil in a "K" or "L" frame. For home defense the revolvers here are loaded with "Magsafe" ammunition. The good...

Big Mike. Could you pass along some info on that front sight. Looks great! Kent

Here's another gunsmith that's lists barrel shortening and front sight installation for the Redhawk: https://shop.cylinder-slide.com/ccp51/cgi-bin/cp-app.pl?usr=&pg=cat&ref=CP111 The price looks reasonable, but the is a substantial waiting period for their services. Kent

Hello gentlemen. The (now) SPR22 had been imported by EAA, and according to their web site (back when they were marketing it), one sights in one of the two barrels and then uses some kind of screw adjustment to regulate the second barrel to the same point of impact as the first.

Thanks - They would be the ones. :) Kent
