I typed a such long reply in another thread, I thought it might be interesting to re-post it with its own title. I will try to ask, in the next few days, at the FTU range, how many revolver folks are still working for HPD. Quoting myself, from the other thread, with some details added...

Arthritis is really starting to affect my formerly-stronger wrist and thumb. I wear a badge, and my current duty pistols choices, all .40, are the G22, G22C, G23, G23C, S&W M&P40, P226, and P229. The P229 is a perfect storm of high bore axis and snappy recoil. I have been advised that the M&P40...

Well, actually, the dealer has placed a two-day hold on them for me, which took just a couple of minutes. It was so busy inside the gun store, that I could not examine the Walthers until shortly before closing, after waiting for over half an hour; typical Saturday madness, of late. I live near...

I am quoting myself from another stick/cane thread here: "As I am an actual photographer, both at work and as an avocation, I have been looking at monopods. (I already have tripods.) An extended aluminum monopod might not have the density desired in a fighting stick, but collapsed, the density...

From my reply to a thread elsewhere in THR, on intervening in domestic violence: An option short of intervening with force is to hit the altercation with a powerful beam of light, from a safe distance, if the situation is occurring in low light. It is amazing what 100 to 200 lumens, from a...

I just dropped a spurless hammer, that I had purchased on evilbay several years ago, into a recently-purchased SP101, with a 3-1/16" barrel. (Evilbay will not allow hammers to be listed anymore.) I am happy to report my luck; the trigger pull is BETTER than the factory pull, because there was a...

I believe the BHP is far enough from the 1911 to be considered "not" a 1911. A friend disagrees, saying the BHP is a 1911. Your thoughts? I am not trying to start a debate on which is the better pistol; I like them both just fine.

I have seen several recent discussions in various sub-forums here on THR, and on other forums, regarding the use of lights during searches at night. Rather than try to post this umpteen times, I thought it best to start a new topic. I am not here to debate the merits of whether a light should be...
