Is there a reason you guys are not considering an inside-the-pocket holster for your carry? I wouldn't carry my j-frame (640) without one.... jfh

About 1990, the 10mm Auto was still a popular round even if the handguns it was put into was problematic. I had started shooting the caliber in 1988 with Springfield Armory 6" Omega and eventually moved over to a Kimber Match Target in 2008 after getting waylaid by a Glock 20 in 1996(?). The...

Bump. I reviewed this old thread and find it is still accurate--at least insofar as the comparison of the two guns discussed. Prices are up, of course--about $775 now for the Elite Match 10, and the lower-priced 'top ends' for switching out calibers are no longer available. The Kimber Target...

so e-mail me and I'll send them on over to you. I'd also encourage you to Google this information a bit more in this forum. We developed 140-gr lead equivalents--which equal a much cheaper practice round. And, be sure to download and see what RAMSHOT's current recipe book shows for loads like...

Try Ramshot TrueBlue. I load 158-gr. swaged rounds that will run about 900-915 from a 2&1/8" barrel (S&W 640). Burns clean, too. Jim H.

I used to use the Mika Holster, but after the 'stickiness' quit working (and attempts to revive it failed), I switched to a Doubletap holster for pocket carry. I carry either a M&P 340 or the 640, and I have the doubletap holster with the 'pocket hook' built in. I have found the more rigid...

You know, I wonder if that is happening. If the 594 /591 vote in WA state goes against him, he has to see it as the biggest putdown yet of his strategy for vote-buying. And then there is the CT governor's race--where I am already seeing speculation about the current governor possibly losing...

semper fi, man.

DAdams, it is good you re-surfaced this thread. Like you, I still carry my 340, and carry it daily. I did update the holster from the Mika Roundcut to a doubletap kydex. (I now prefer to have a hooked, and more-rigid, holster; that feature makes the holster more usable for switching to a...

Bloomberg's 'firearm safety' is NOT about safety but is part of the unending propaganda war this crowd has waged since 1976. The long term goal is to redefine the public consciousness for the meaning of important concepts about firearms. Thus, 'safety' rests in a notion of no access to...

Thank you, Akita1 Given the general drift of this thread--it probably is important to add a few more comments. Just because this case has (to me, at least) nuances about various factors in the incident, those nuances in no way color the legality / illegality of the self-defense actions of...

There's more to this story than the current press provides. Being a Minnesota boy (so to speak), I have followed this story closely. It is, a lot more complex than what the current coverage includes. First of all, it was an explosive story when it broke a year-plus ago. Little Falls is a...

It sounds to me like you need to think this activity through as if it were a standard hands-on-safety class with live fire opportunities. When I ran 'opening day' firearms classes at a summer boy's camp, we provided a one-to-one ratio of instructors (my assistants, as it were, whom I had...

I'm not up on the current status of exploded drawings there--but you should check Brownell's web site. Jim H.

Call--or e-mail--Lee for the specific parts list. However, given my experience with having converted the older Turret (the design similar to the Pro 1000, and with which you would functionally end up), I would recommend you simply straightaway purchase one of the new Classic Cast 4-hole...

underpowered ammo. period. For the time being, disregard your other hypotheses. Underpowered, at least in the sense that this load is not enough to operate the firearm for reliable ejection--your stovepipe is a clear indicator of that--not to mention a satisfactory load nominally 10% below...

I have four measures set up exclusively with the bars--one bar, BTW, is an older aftermarket bar that measures larger quantities of H-335 (for .223) quite accurately and repeatably. Most of my loading is now done on an original Turret (spring operation) or on a Load-Master with the mechanical...

what RC said, with an addendum that there are at least two good cast bullet suppliers of 135-140 gr. LSTC, LRN (a re-done 38Super bullet), and I think a LTRN bullet that allows you to replicate the GDSB short-barrel reloads. One of them is Missouri Bullets, a supplier preferred by many in this...

and I don't like to fiddle with Unique, so I am in love with Ramshot's True Blue. or AA #5. Jim H.

re the sticky magazine-- I had it on a magazine or two from EAA over the years--but I learned how to tune magazines--i.e., the feed lips, so it became NBD. Jim H.
