Can anybody tell me what they think about that long Double Action trigger pull on the first shot? Mine felt rather gritty and was not smooth at all. This made it somewhat difficult to keep that DA shot on target. :( I thought I'd try to smooth it out with some dry firing (which worked...

Sigp220sg: Wow $8 a box! That's quite a discount. I guess it pays to know someone on the inside at Walmart! If your friend ever needs someone else to buy his discounted ammo, I could probably help him out.:D

Sigp220sg: For practice I've been using mostly American Eagle 115gr FMJ--maybe a box of Blazer or something else. For carry I have some Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel, 124gr +P (part number 23611). I fired one magazine plus a few more to test feeding--no problem. I have been reluctant to shoot...

Glad to see some response to my post. :) Sigp220sg: My first option to adjust the sights was to give the gun to my gunsmith. He drifted the Front Sight a little, but I still was not satisfied. I drifted the Rear Sight my self using a wooden dowel rod against the Rear Sight and a small brad...

BP Hunter: I own a Px4 Storm SC. I really like the way it feels in my hand, and after 1000 rounds I have had zero feeding problems. I did have some initial issues with sight alignment. For the record, the Px4 Storm SC has a 3-inch barrel, not a 4-inch. For more info, please see my post at...

Well, since no one else is offering up any opinions or reviews of the Px4 Storm Subcompact I’ll give you mine. As I said before, I liked the way it fit my hand. That makes it easy to hold even though with the magazine extender I can hold it quite well with just two fingers on the grip. The...

Holster Review: RKBA S&W J-Frame I previously reviewed the Safariland Model 25 pocket holster. Here is my review of the RKBA pocket holster for S&W J-Frame along with quite a few pictures. The holster is leather and rather stiff all around. Mine is rough side out on both sides, and dyed...

Holster Review: Safariland Model 25 On a previous post I commented on my search for a pocket holster. I recently received a Safariland Model 25 pocket holster, mostly due to the recommendation of Massad Ayoob in The Gun Digest Book of Concealed Carry. I ordered from OpticsPlanet, and the...

I'm interested in hearing comments by anyone else who owns a Beretta Px4 Storm Sub-Compact. I got mine shortly after they hit the market. Basically, I really liked the way it fit my hand. And at 13+1 rounds of 9mm it's a lot of rounds in a small package. The downside is concealing the...

I have used the Birchwood Casey Lead Remover Cloth with great success on my S&W686+. The burn rings can be completely removed using the cloth. A regular cleaning solvent after the Lead-Remover cloth removes the residual wax. According to the MSDS the Birchwood Casey Lead Remover Cloth...

Felt Recoil A few days ago I went to the range to compare the felt recoil from several different loads. I should note that I have the M&P340CT, which has the Crimson Trace LG-405 (with the recoil pad on the backstrap). I grip the gun as high as possible on the backstrap, with the web of my...

New Member After passing up a $400, used 642 in very good condition, and subsequently discovering that 642s are hard to find these days [read "increased demand"]. I started reconsidering the M&P 340, which my local gun shop had in stock. I really liked the XS Big Dot 24/7 sight. My aging...

I have a S&W 686+ 357 Magnum and shoot a lot of 38 Special. Because the chamber has two diameters machined in it (larger diameter for the cartridge, smaller diameter for the bullet), and because the 38 cartridge is short I get a lot of gunk deposited in the chamber. This is extremely difficult...

The original post asked, "just how carcinogenic is Hoppes #9?" I think since the only "possible human carcinogen" listed on the MSDS is something that is probably only a trace impurity, we can safely assume that the risk of developing cancer from Hoppes #9 is VERY LOW! (But this is only true...

New MSDS Hoppe's NEW MSDS can be found at http://www.hoppes.com/au_msds.html The ones listed above are old...apparently new requirements require more complete disclosure. The NEW MSDS dated August 27, 2007 lists the following ingredients: Kerosene Ethyl Alcohol Xylene...

Just got my 686 back from S&W. The timing/carry-up problem was fixed as warrenty repair by replacing the extractor. Dry fire timing after repair is very consistant in both SA and DA.

I had a similar problem with the timing / carry up on my new S&W 686 which I already noted on another thread http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?p=4404578#post4404578 To repeat what I posted there... This sounds very much like your problem Farmmer Dan, except that I'm missing...

Out of the Box Timing Problems? I recently purchased a S&W 686 Plus 357 Magnum with 4" barrel. Series number is 686-6. After only about 400 rounds of 38 Special and about 75 rounds of 357 Magnum, I noticed that the timing was off while cleaning the gun. I suspect that this is an out of the...
