    Kel Tec P32 vs. P3AT or Ruger LCP

    I bought a P32 in 2021. I’m kicking myself for having passed them up for so many years, especially when they were less expensive and more available. I carry mine daily, and have since grabbed a second one because I like having multiples of my favorite carry guns. Also, I just wanted an extra in...

    New Charter Arms Police Undercover

    I have a Police Undercover made in 2021 and it has the standard matte (?) finish. The trigger on it is very nice. I had checked out one back in 2015 and the trigger was atrocious. I know that Charter switched to lighter mainsprings. I got a few and replaced the one in my .357 Mag Pug, and now it...

    Show us your 10mm

    Kind of an odd couple for 10mms, but they are the only two I have. The 1006 was found when I was searching for a 4506 and there was no way I was gonna pass it up. The Hi-Point JXP was bought just for a range toy. I added a Truglo tritium front sight, optional Hi-Point ghost ring rear sight...

    Charter Pathfinder .22 lr 8-shot snub?

    I'm 100% with you on the K22. I own one that dates to about 1950 and it is an amazing shooter. For a decent semi-auto, I own a Ruger Standard (I believe made in 1959). The Ruger looks almost mint and is a joy to shoot. One the budget side of my .22s, I have a couple Heritage Rough Riders and a...

    Wadcutters for Defense?

    I've got one of those little guys. It has a metal side plate and was sold as factory-reconditioned or something, due to the installation of the metal side plate.. I got mine from Gunbroker. My LGS was laughingly calling them the "Re-View". I had been calling it the "Non-view View", or "Unview"...

    Revolver Modernity Suggest

    Can't help with a suggestion for a modern revolver. Currently looking at S&W 49s. I have all sorts of pocket pistols and revolvers, but am convincing myself of the need :D for an all-steel revolver for pocket carry. Actually, just looking for an excuse to get one of those old humpbacks and...

    Charter Pathfinder .22 lr 8-shot snub?

    Thanks everyone for the replies. That's exactly the information I was seeking. I'm going to pass on the Pathfinder. I've heard and read good things about the Taurus 942, but right now, they are very hard to find. I believe at one point, they were discontinued, but Taurus started making them...

    Charter Pathfinder .22 lr 8-shot snub?

    I'm eyeing a Charter Pathfinder snub in .22 lr. Haven't looked at them for a while, and noticed that they are now 8 vs 6 shots. Just wondering if anyone has one and if so, how have your experiences been with it? Specifically, I'm looking to see if it has light primer strikes, shaves lead...

    Size Comp. CA Professional vs Heritage Barkeep vs vs Taurus 327 vs DB Sidekick

    I like that boot grip on the Undercoverette. It's different from what I usually as Charter's boot grip. Is it new?

    Cool S&W "Mini"!

    I have a couple 469s. Both were gun store rescues which had shown up in batches of police confiscated guns and were in rough shape. Cleaned them both up, changed the recoil springs, and they worked great. Also replaced the plastic spring housings at the rear of their grips because the plastic...

    "Itis" issues...

    Wow, my hands hurt just reading this. I have everything you listed, plus fibromyalgia. It has a ton of different symptoms, but the main one is feeling like having "tendonitis of everything". I've noticed that my grip strength has really dropped off. Currently, I can still rack a 1911, and just...

    And another Star BM arrives thread

    Nice! The condition isn’t bad at all. I had one briefly and sold it off for something else. I should probably grab another one while they are still around. There were service logos ground off of your gun. Look at the two circular spots...one just under the extractor on the slide, and a matching...

    S&W SDVE 9MM

    I have an SD9VE and installed an MCARBO spring kit which dropped the trigger weight to about 4.5 pounds. I’ve been very pleased with the results. I tried the Boudica trigger, but it wasn’t for me so I went back to the stock trigger. Even with swapping springs and what not, my SD9VE has run...

    Rock Island M1911 GI Standard Pistol

    I picked up one back in 2011 for $399. I couldn’t get it to run reliably, even with ball ammo. I finally decided to send it in to RIA to get fixed. They had it back to me in about a week and said that the magazine catch was out of spec so they replaced it. After getting fixed, it was extremely...

    Ruger New Model Blackhawk...How Did I Do?

    That’s a smokin’ deal! I’ve been following Blackhawks on Gunbroker because I can’t find any at online retailers, and don’t live close to any gun stores. Your gun would have been in the high 500s on GB, and then you would have had to pay shipping and FFL transfer fees, plus possibly a 3% credit...

    Spruced up my Heritage Barkeep

    I picked up this Barkeep with the intention of adding the .22 magnum cylinder and a birdshead grip. They'll probably offer it in this configuration eventually (if they don't already), but I didn't feel like waiting, and the accessories aren't expensive. I've tried it with the original grip...

    My idiocy damaged my pristine new Colt SAA: learn from my mistake

    To echo the above post, that was painful to read. Sorry to hear. I have a nearly pristine 3rd Gen SAA that I picked up for a great price. I have the box and papers, too. The thing was unfired, and someone had put a turn line on the cylinder. For the price though, I really can't complain. I...

    Ultimate 357 magnum revolver if you were going to have ONE?

    By post #6, I was pretty much thinking that I'm too poor for this thread, then I scrolled to the Registered Magnum, and yep...I'm too poor. I'd go with my trusty old 19-3.

    Two word for S&W SD9VE

    LOVE MINE. Snagged my gun from an internet retailer for $249 right at the start of the big run on guns and ammo. Was miffed that I didn't get one earlier when they were going for $199 as Black Friday deals :D. I added the M-Carbo spring kit to mine and lightened up the trigger. My SD9VE hasn't...
