^^^ Yep. Regardless of what they originally doing, they weren't coming back to do you a favor.

Yeah, I get you. Not every place is the same. This may be apples and oranges, but I called the Chicago PD one night to report a large, well-built man talking to himself while sitting on a car outside my apartment, and two squads responded in less than five minutes. The dispatcher didn't want...

That's sort of impolite, but very funny! Here's to hoping Kim Jong Il dies sooner than expected, and before he can issue deathbed orders. Otherwise, the only thing that would save South Korea is nerve gas and neutron bombs, and I also hope we have plenty of both in theater.

You didn't call the cops because you were worried about a girl?

A front sight is a good thing.

With such an established pedigree of real-life experience behind you, why are you even deigning to ask us for advice? A .22 in a pocket gun is no more effective (LOL) than a .25 acp. It's even worse, actually, because the rim of the .22 creates additional opportunity for jamming. Just get a...

They're kind of cool, but I agree with rcmodel. Had one, pitched it. It was neither accurate nor reliable.

Big fingers, I think. Just looking at it gives me the heebies, though. Otherwise, very very cool.

LOL. Hmm. Maybe they don't think private citizens should have guns. My advice: Forget about "smoothing things over." That's their job, not yours.

What was she doing in a gun store? Considering how upset she became at the mere sight of a firearm, it's possible that she had a very, very bad memory involving a gun. OR, she had outstanding warrants and was more afraid of his badge than his weapon.

$525? Why are you still here? Go buy that gun! It's got a frame-mounted decocker, right? You can get a Glock anyday. Start your 10mm collection with this gun.

Well, I'm glad I posted this because everyone's considerate replies have caused me to rethink the utility of having my Colt cut for moon clips. I don't want floppy bullets anywhere near me. I guess I'll have to find something else to spend my $116 on.

Nah, I think it should stand. He owns his words. Besides, I didn't call him a child molester; I merely said that he was no more trustworthy around children than one. How come you didn't "call foul" earlier?

I'm not arguing that the people of the United States have no right to protect themselves, but what I don't support is the idea that any given teacher has the ability and the wherewithal to protect a classroom of students. CCW training is no substitute for a course at the law enforcement...

I trust teachers to educate, and that is all. You want to play hero? Go join the fire department. Well, Mr. Wannabe Superhero, I feel I do know you now. I would no sooner trust you around students than I would a child molester. Your pathetic response at my daring to question your ability to...

That's a definite caveat. Further reading of the small print on the website reveals that the thin moon-clips are "wobblier" than the thick moons used on 1917 .45 ACPs (which can only be loaded with moons, AFAIK). So there may be no advantage to using the thin moons in a carry revolver.

Joe: For one thing, I don't know you. Second, unlike a policeman, you're not trained and sworn to protect the public and uphold the law. By all means, protect your own children with your own gun. But understand my reservations in allowing you to protect mine.

It's like a speedloader, except the six rounds and the clip form an integral unit. It just drops in. It's the fastest way to reload, and it takes the fewest steps. And from what I can tell, you can still use a speedloader, or load rounds one at a time.

In my long quest for goofy things I can have done to my Colt Cobra, I found a gunsmith who will convert D-Frame Colts for Moonclip use. Ten-Ring Precision will convert your Colt for $116, shipped, with three moon clips included. I emailed all the other moon clip people, only to be...

I wonder if you could get a night sight dot installed? There's a lot of cool things we miss out on as Colt revolver owners (clipdraws that screw into the frame, Crimson Trace lasers, a full selection of grips), but considering the alternative -- I think it's worth it.
