    A revolver: where a bullet comes out everytime

    When I showed my neighbor our board haul, he was staggered by the number of responses and the quality of advice we received. Not one to dither, he made up his mind quickly. RobertCohn's observations about the Ruger, especially about it being "female friendly," was the deal maker. Further, when...

    A revolver: where a bullet comes out everytime

    A neighbor of mine, frightened by several unnerving incidents of late in our neighborhood, has decided to buy a handgun that both he and his wife can share as needed (she has felt threatened by loiterers near her car where she shops at night). I'm not competent to provide good advice, but I'd...

    What does "tight" mean?

    I'm a little dense, I finally figured it out — you undoubtedly meant the Jim March article. Thank you very much, it was very helpful to me.

    What does "tight" mean?

    I don't see a "Sticky" right above my post? You mean on this page?

    My 3 inch 357 pics.

    You stated, with reference to your SP-101, that "The polishing project is still underway." I'm a newbie and ponder the meaning of such remarks when I encounter them. How does one polish anything that shines like that Ruger?

    What does "tight" mean?

    When a gun owner brags that his revolver has a "rock solid tight lock up," what's he trying to say? Were I buying a gun, how would I check to determine whether if it was too loose or not?

    Supreme Court Speaks, but how loud?

    I'm dying to know if this most recent decision by the Supremes will effect handgun shipments. I live in a town where the local gun dealer charges $75 to ship or receive handguns. Oh, how I'd love to tell him to shove it if we no longer must embrace that FFL crap.

    I was impressed with your opinion that the Ruger SP-101 is the most "natural pointing handgun existent." I'd be interested in your opinion of the .45 ACP if you get the chance to test it. Earlier in this thread, I said that of all the times I fired my pistol during the war, I don't remember ever...

    Savvy opinions solicited

    Holy mackerel, had I known I'd be receiving such kind plaudits from total strangers just for riding around on the rear deck of a Sherman tank in Europe when I was a kid, I might have enjoyed the ride more. I felt choked up reading those nice words — many thanks. Regarding the business at...

    "Other than that, I'd love to learn a bit about how and where you carried your 1911 in WWII." This is a quick reply to Murdock in the fewest words: Checkout: http://36thair3ad.homestead.com/OriginalPhotos36thAIR.html — I am in the top row between the windows smoking a cigarette. If you look...

    Savvy opinions solicited

    I've had my old WWII M1911 in my desk for years, but at 85 I've become too frail to be comfortable with it so I gave it to my son. Having had a handgun so many years, I now feel naked without one. I sort of envision something like a 38 special w/a 2" barrel. I live in damp FL and don't want to...
