I would have liked the NOB or the one pictured above, but I was able to check out the Choate version at the NRA convention and for $9, the price was right. braindoc

There are 3 inserts included with the gun that will raise the the stock. I used the highest one and then I added a segment of pipe insulation under the stock ammo sleeve (look at the OP's picture) to get a proper cheek weld. It works very well for me. braindoc

Hi all, I find the Thumb safety in my Kimber Compact can be disengaged a little too easy for my taste and I would like to know if it can be adjusted so it takes a bit more force and "snap" for my thumb to disengage it. Thanks, braindoc

I find the 2.5" 686 to be primarily a range gun for me. It weighs as much as a 4" model 66 and doesn't balance or point as well. I don't have a 4" 686 for comparison (I have a 6" 686). As for CCW, I carry a Glock 26. braindoc

I saw a SW 629-4 Classic 5 inch with EDM (Magnaport?) ports. It carries wood combat grips. The shop will let me have it for $600 out the door. I think the price seems high, unless there is some collector status in this setup. I need some help. braindoc
