If you're circumferencially gifted (as am I), it severely limits your options. Belly bands Forget about them. You've already got enough going on in that region. Ankle holsters. Nothing like a fat guy trying to reach his own ankles while simultaneously running from danger. Its not a...

1. Looks matter. I don't care if nobody else sees it, but I have to see it, and I prefer the looks of traditional blued steel and fancy grips over the plastic bricks of most modern semi-automatics. 2. Simplicity of controls. A Centennial revolver has one primary control, the trigger. Even...

A stainless barrel and cylinder are more resistant to corrosion, and that could be important if it's carried in a sweaty pocket (in a pocket holster). That said, I never saw anyone post pics of a 442 with a rusty barrel and cylinder... Not saying it doesn't happen, and I'm not always on forums...

Hoppes Love Potion is giving you some good info all in one place! I have the 642 (the 442 is identical, but with the alloy frame painted black instead of silver and with a carbon steel cylinder in place of the 642's stainless one - a matter of personal preference). The 642 is the biggest...

I'm looking for the slim j-frame grips in simulated buffalo horn, but checkered. All I can find is the smooth ones, and I've exhausted my Google skills. Anyone have any ideas?:confused: What I'm looking for is just like these ivory ones from Boone Trading, but in oily, jet black, simulated...

For those who complained about FedEx SmartPost and UPS Mail Innovations, both of which use the Postal Service for final delivery, I've received some "insider" information as to the problems with at least the FedEx version. The package is picked up from the shipper by FedEx, but delivered to a...

Does anyone know where to find grips for j-frames that look like the old grips used in these top-break revolvers? Are the frames from one j-frame to another close enough dimensionally that an off-the-shelf grip of this style would work without any hand fitting to the individual gun, since all...

Pennsylvania is going through a prossess of standardizing the Concealed Pistol Licences across all counties. Some sheriffs were requiring references, some were not, and the look and price of the actual card were all diffferent from county to county. At one point, some counties were charging...

Congratulations, and welcome to the United States! Just a few words of advice to help you get along with the natives: 1. Leave your politics back home at the People's Republik - It irks us when people move from New Jersey to Pennsylvania, only to try to vote for the same baloney that they...

Recently cleaned with Hidden Valley Ranch? Did you put a drop of Thousand Island under the trigger to lubricate the internals? :neener:

Akubra Hats website right here.

All I ever see on the boards is "Smith & Wesson this" and "642 airweight that." What about Taurus and Charter arms? Do they have anything worth talking about in small revolvers? At first look, Taurus looks like it may be a little more rough than S&W, but not by much... the Charters look...

I periodically do a mental and tactile check of everything on my person throughout the day, and especially when departing stores and restaurants. Wallet, comb, keys, chapstick, cell phone, and that other thing... yep, its all there. Takes about 3 seconds, and nobody has ever approached me as...

SO, a friend of mine (certainly not me) has been snacking a lot and not going to the gym, and has become horizontally enhanced, especially above the waist. I... I mean, my friend doesn't believe he wants to add any more to his width with a waistband holster. What are some options for my...

I have no doubt that Glocks are quality firearms, durable and reliable, but $600 for something made of plastic?!?! I'll take a Sig, or a Hi-Power, or a 1911, thank you.

That's the typical modern attitude about anything these days. :( Everything built as cheap as can be so the American consumer can buy more, more, and more, throw it in a landfill, then buy it again. Quality is way down and the typical electronic device now lasts an average of 5 years... just...

How do you feel about carring a revolver inside the waistband in such a way that the trigger is not covered, such as with the Barami Hip Grip, Clip-Draw device, or other such things?

I don't doubt that Glocks (and 90% of all new, plasticy firearms) are fine tools. I just don't see the big savings one would expect from buying a firearms that pops out of a mold every 3 minutes. Its kind of sad that every manufacturer ig going the plastic route, and the fine craftsmanship is...

It used to be that the average firearm was a revolver, and it was machined to perfection. Two pieces of metal can come together in such a way that even complex joints appear to be one solid piece of metal, and all of it buffed to perfection then blued so deep that it appears to be liquid coal...

Not interested. I honestly don't understand the current crase of super-small, oddly shaped, high caliber, low capacity polymer pistols. Sig, why can't you just shave down the P239 a bit more in width? :banghead: The way the grip panels attach is a great idea... until it starts to rattle.
