I don't post here much but this is the way I see it in this case... 1. If you're THAT worried about an accidental discharge, then buy a different gun. Yes I know that Glocks are "perfect" and are currently in vogue. Still, they have an ABSOLUTELY CRAPPY safety system. So, if you don't want...

Go & register on the Ruger Forums and post about 10 times and you'll get access to their "library." In the library they have DIY tutorials for Ruger revolvers called the "Iowegian book of Knowledge" (IBOK). They're pretty informational and have pics and good instructions for cleaning up the...

The "ultimate" CCW depends on your circumstances. For instance, if you are the type who wears a jacket you don't have to worry as much about "concealability." If you aren't someone who wears a jacket, then a double stack, compensated, ported/polished/engraved longslide BBQ gun isn't that...

The SP101 is a hot little number right now - lots of customer demand. It's a fine shooter though. The GP100 is bigger & for those who have big mitts it might fit the hand better. The S&W is quickly becoming a collectors item line. However, I did notice that S&W is now offering their...

Federal Premium Vital Shock with 140gr Barnes expander bullets. Lead free which is required in the backcountry here in So Cal but seriously efficient stopping power for SD.

What, you never saw Serenity? They're flying around in starships between many many different worlds and they're still using revolvers. 1911 Ruger (in 44 mag.)

Simple solution that doesn't require drilling holes in the safe or re-engineering the floor: Buy some square steel tubing that is cut to the length required for each side of the safe between the bolt holes. Drill tubing so that it can be bolted to the bottom of the safe. Drill tubing so...

Phooey. If you want "bling" or are looking for the "oogle factor" buy a Nighthawk custom (Or any of the other custom makers). Less purchase money leaving you with more for fancy grips, ammo and stuff = Dan Wesson Pointman or CBOB. You can get just about any of these handguns for under...

I've heard the 9mm vs. .45 debate so much it makes my ears hurt. Folks, you have to start thinking instead of just parroting the BS that is being peddled to you in order to get you to buy something. MILITARY ball ammo is NOT DESIGNED for one-shot-one kill. It is designed to WOUND because...

The 10mm is NOTHING like a .357. All autoloaders tend to "soften" the recoil whereas a revolver gives it to you full on. Go shoot a 10mm and then shoot a full house .357 (not the "new" wimpy spec'd rounds either, full house SAMII loads.) You'll be surprised and will find a new respect for...

I second the 3913 for tiny hands. Be warned that a revolver in .38 special has more felt recoil than 9mm. This means that the 9mm shoots "softer" in the hand. Limp wristing can be overcome with practice and some weight exercises. Proper motivation is key.

I'm older and have been shooting for 30 years or more. I've owned and shot revolvers, semi-auto's, black powder, and more bb, squirt, and rubber band guns than I care to mention in public. NONE of them are "superior" to any other of the bunch. Accuracy is accuracy. If you practice you will...

Currently it is NOT legal to carry in a national park (as of May 20, 2009). the bill went to the house and was not stripped of the national park addition to the CC bill. However, Obama still has to sign the bill into law. Which the white house has said he will do. Once he signs the bill...

Ok, I looked at it VERRRRY carefully before I cleaned it. What I found: BC gap is approximately .0045" (A loose .004" and a really tight .005" on my feeler gauge set) Thus, the BC gap is fine and within spec. It was really dirty behind the extractor star. No unburned power flakes but a...

Thanks for the hints on where to look. As of today I still haven't had the time to look at it. Probably won't be for a couple more days until I can get to it. (this is because of a work related problem. Got to earn money to buy toys with.) I'll post in this thread after I look into it to...

Ok, I'm BAAACK from a shooting class over the weekend. :neener: I took my S&W 9mm and my new Ruger sp101 to the class. My 9mm functioned flawlessly as usual. (Have I mentioned how much I LOVE that pistol?) However, the new Ruger decided to be temperamental. I was shooting new Federal...

^^^^ If necessary I will shoot to stop the threat. If that only takes one round, then great. If it takes all 13 in my semi-auto then that's how many times I'm gonna shoot 'em. The jury will not care if it is one shot or 13.

Corbon could be loading using a "special" bullet from Sierra made to Corbon's specifications.

I don't like the .40. It was a solution to a problem that didn't really exist. If female FBI couldn't handle the 10mm then the solution was to give them 9mm not redesign the cartridge. .40 is/was a wildcat that got adopted into service. It is NOT the "perfect" cartridge. .357 is a LOT of...

Actually, most people just suggest a gift of flowers or chocolate. :evil:
