Let Me Restate The gun is a Model 29 its serial number is whithin the range of serial numbers assigned to Model 57s. If you add or subtract 1 it will come back as a Model 57 because Smith & Wesson was making 57s at the time. The only relationship that Harry's gun has to a Model 57 is that the...

Checkman Got It Right The gun used by Clint Eastwood in the movie was put together out of spare parts. The only thing about it that is not Mod 29 specification is the serial number. The serial number will come back as a model 57 because thats what they had at the time. They took an, in the...

Pistol Smith Try J&S Cusom Guns in Lakeville. They specialize in 1911s Mike

J P Rifles J P Riflesmakes a quick sight that mounts to a picatinny rail. Its designed to mount on the forend but should work for a weaver. My understanding is that the Weaver and Picatnny differ in the number and spacing of slots on the rail They differ slightly in width but for pratical...

Kahr Sitting here at the computer I'm wearing my K9 in a Sparks 1H IWB. I've had it on all day and I'm still comfortable. I was discussing holsters with a guy at the range who was unaware I was carrying until I showed him. I'm wearing jeans and and a tropical print shirt worn untucked. Mike

I like the large frame Smiths because they fit my hand. I have a 1066 and 4586 I can shoot much better with either than any 1911. The 45 will feed anything without a bobble. the 1066 is ammo sensitive but works well with the loads it likes. Mike

Alternate Position I'm not sure where your wearing your holster but I assume 4:00. If your like me you may find that carrying just in front of the hip at 2:30 puts it into a natural hollow between the belly and the hip. Mike

Detective Special Jar, I also have a Detective Special with the same grips. Isn't nice to have an Agent grip profile on a DS.:D Mike

S&W 3rd gen. Mines a 4586 Mike

The 7.62x25 is basically the .30 Luger loaded hotter. Most of the Italian manufaturers have a civilian version of their 9mm's for their domestic market. I know for sure the Benelli B72 was available in it. FWIW the Italian domestic market is restricted to non military calibers.

I commend you on not lying. I would contact my congressman's office and ask for help in getting the waiver. It will keep you from relying on a recruiter who has already cut corners and is untrustwothy. I suspect that you won't have any real problems getting the waiver. Understand that...

Another good book is Tacts of the American Revolution 1763 - 1776 edited by Merrill Jensen. It is a collection of 17 pamphlets and editorials that shaped the debate prior to the Declaration of Independence. There is nothing quite like reading, the founders words, to understand their position.

One possibility, check your grip, while firing the USP. Do you have the same high thumb position that you have with the Kimber? When the groups loosen up while shooting my 22/45 Ruger its because I have a lower thumb position than normal. With a 1911, shooters tend to have a high thumb position...

Dirty Harry's Revolver Dirty Harry's revolver was a 44 but because no 29's were available Smith made one up from spare parts using a Mod 57 frame. Mike

Not Kitchen Table The gun was done in the late 70's by a retired PD armourer. I fired about 2000 rds out of it after the work was done, absolutly reliable. The point I was making is that unless a Smith has already been worked over, stoning and fitting, of the action parts will reduce trigger...

Mod 28 trigger pull I used to have a Mod 28, as a quick rule of thumb, stoning and fitting of a Smith revolver can drop the trigger pull 2-3 pounds on a new gun, 1-2 pounds on a well used gun. This used to be known as a police action job because it didn't touch the springs. My 28 was built in...

Constitutional Site Another good site is www.constitution.org look under the sub heading constitutional defense. Mike

The law change is easily explainable. Prior to the change silencers were forbidden period. The only way LE could have suppressed weapons was to change the law.

The Real Militia There is an organization that does fit the concept of the Militia. In 25 states there are State Guard/Self Defense Force/Home Guard type entities. The size and activities of these units varies considerably. As far as I know none of these Units have issued weapons. The true...

I worked as a unit armorer for a short time, at Ft Hood, in the late 70's. We had 3 1911's but the one I remember was one from Ithacha. It was tight, with no rail slop, as tight as the day it left the factory. The problem with many of the issue 1911's is wear many of them are just plain worn...
