    CO and ID Members: What is the trend in your state's gun laws?

    Idaho When my CWP was about to expire, the Sheriff's Office mailed me a post card reminding me about the renewal. I read somewhere that Idaho has the lowest percentage of it's population living in an incorporated city (New Jersey was the other end of the spectrum).

    Will the ACLU Change Their Policy?

    Their web site explains they believe it is a collective right and not an individual one, based on Supreme Court Decisions. http://www.aclu.org/police/gen/14523res20020304.html I wonder if in the interest of fairness, they will now support 2nd Amendment cases? I would have asked...

    Hogue grips on sp101

    I have nylon Hogue's on my 3" SP101. They make the gun ride higher in your hand than the stock grips by about 1/2", but they fit a large hand better. For recoil control it's about a draw. They fit the gun just fine.

    SP101 considerations, grip size, etc.

    I have large hands (XXL gloves are usually tight) and a 3" SP101. The stock grips are small, but offer a very high hold- take a look at how high the top of the grip is right behind the trigger guard. This makes it very controllable with .357 ammo, but I had to smooth out some sharp edges to...

    Airweight 642 or 637-2?

    They are as mechanically acccurate as any other revolver, but their primitive sites and short sight radius make them hard to shoot well.

    S&W 642 Don Hume JIT Question

    I have a 637 and my JIT fits quite tight, as does the SP101 (although the 3" hangs out the bottom a bit).

    recipe for J-Frame trigger job?

    As it was explained to me, S&W has a hard 'skin' surface treatment on their steel action components (Rockwell 40) about 20 thousandths thick. If you know what you are doing you can polish that; if you don't you wear thru it to the center which is only Rockwell 20, and the parts will wear and...

    Don Hume JIT slide and Mitch Rosen Workman

    I have a JIT for an Airweight J-Frame. You can forget it's there pretty easily. As for concealability it hangs a bit below the belt so it has to be covered. Retention seems fine for a light gun. You can't go wrong for $25.

    S&W 637 -- Worst S&W Revolver of all time?

    The cylinder, barrel assembly, and yoke are ss; the grip frame is aluminum alloy. Mine has probably seen 1,000 rounds without any finish problems, but I wouldn't be shocked if the clear finish gets damaged; I doubt there is any way to make paint stay on aluminum in that application. I...

    629-1 Info Needed

    "... some guns unlocked new, right out of the box when firing the 240 gr and heavier loads" I could see how that could be a PR nightmare for S&W. And they took 15 years to fix it; amazing. Mine doesn't have much of a dragline on the cylinder; perhaps that's because the bolt doesn't engage...
