    SW 442 Grips Broke

    I had a similar problem with grips on a model 60 and they sent out a new set. If you want wood grips, take a look at Altamont Grips. I have Hogue wood grips on my 642 but if I hadn’t found them at the price I did, I would have gone with a set from Altamont.

    NYS WARNING – Are Assisted-Openers Now Illegal Switchblades?

    I’ve had similar experiences for a long time now. I used to find some good deals on Spyderco knives at Sierra Trading Post. Around 2010 they stoped shipping knives to New York. Not only knives, but they would not ship knife related products. I wrote to them to explain that owning any knife that...

    Ruger LCP

    I have both the DeSantis Nemesis and a Bear Creek back pocket (Back Pocket Holster | Doubles as a Front Pocket Holster | All US Leather & Exotic Accents). I unscrewed the front flap on the Bear Creek and carry it in my front pocket. Both are excellent holsters. For anyone with an LCP who wants...

    VT turns into NY

    Very sad indeed. I have family in Vermont and like visiting there. Until now, they generally left us alone. Hopefully, they will have a better chance in court than we did. Click here to support Vermont Magazine Ban Defense Fund organized by Vermont Federation Sportsman's Clubs

    Two options come to mind here. One is a Leatherman Wave, the other the Benchmade 940. Both will last a lifetime. I own both.

    Altamont Grips

    Beautiful grips indeed! I have Altamont grips on one of mine as well. Do they get in the way when you eject cases? Just wondering because I once had a similar set but different brand that would interfere with .38s or .357s. I actually almost bought the same style you have but settled on their...

    What to you do to prevent THEFT at the Gun Range ?

    At my club, in the event that a cease-fire is called for the purpose of going down range, everything stays on the bench. Actions are open, magazines out, and bore flags are inserted. RSO inspects the line and declares it safe before anyone crosses the red line.

    Ruger Carbine Takedown !

    What do you guys recommend for a red dot scope? Preferably, something with a lower profile. I don’t want the scope to be more money than the rifle but I don’t want buy junk either.

    Safe Act Update, Pistol Permit Recertification Deadline Approaching !

    We will have to tell our wives and girlfriends that it is our patriotic and civic duty to purchase at least two handguns a year.

    Recertification is done today 1/31/18

    Agreed, given all we have learned lately about the number of not yet recertified permits and the fact that the state police have publicly stated that they will accept late applicanttions, it seems as though this is the way it will all play out. Black helicopters aren’t coming.

    Is Gunleather Dead?

    I prefer kydex for IWB mainly because most leather IWB holsters I have looked at tend add to the bulk. As for OWB, I had Ritchie Gun Leather make something called the IPB (in between pants and belt). Offers the best of both the IWB and OWB.

    Tuckable Holster Recommendations

    I have one from this company (InvisiHolsters, LLC) and am happy with it. I have found that with IWB holsters, especially when tuckable, work better when the clip is offset so as not on slide or cylinder.

    Pistol Permit "Abstract" -Incorrect Info

    It eventually gives the next recertification date. Mine took about a week to go from "processed" to "Thank you for recertifying ........" Either way, they are acknowledging that they have it. Just noticed that they added some FAQs to their page.

    Ruger Carbine Takedown !

    Wow, hope it works out that way for you. That savings will buy you a few extra magazines. I keep reminding the guys I know at the local shop that I’m interested.

    There is a shop that I have been to in Waterbury, VT that received them a couple days ago. They are selling them at $499! I was kind of expecting the price to be a little higher. Of course, they will have the version with the evil threaded barrel and standard capacity magazine. Every time a...

    NY SAFE Act And Its Recertification Fiasco

    Yep, I have had people asd the same. In fact, there are some people out there that don't realize that they STILL have have permits. Conversation usually starts something like "I used to have a permit years ago when I belonged to XYZ conservation club."

    NY SAFE Act And Its Recertification Fiasco

    Don't get me wrong, I don't expect much either but the counties, cities, and towns telling the state that they do not approve of NYSAFE is one thing. In this case, we have counties acknowledging that only a fraction of their permit holders have submitted and we are are at the eleventh hour. It's...

    Yes, the progressive press seems to be the preference of most of the guys I know who load pistol cartridges. I just prefer a single stage press, off press priming, and a powder measure. With that set up, I have been able to keep up with weekly trips to the range (50 rounds or so) and I don't...

    I have both the Lee Perfect Powder Measure and RCBS. I use the Lee with bulkier powders like Unique. If I were to use it for a finer powder like AA2 or AA7, it will leak. The RCBS is excellent with the finer powders. You may also like the Lee dipper set(Powder Measure Kit - Lee Precision)...

    Hand Priming

    Looks as though others caught onto this deal pretty fast and decided to stock up. With the exception of the primers I don't buy much at Cabela's, however, I did find out that they will give you the item at the price it is listed online if you bring it to their attention at the register. Just...

    Reasons Not To Buy A Glock !

    I actually like it for that reason, but then again, everyone has his own criteria in choosing a gun. Parts are always available, affordable, and easy to install. I'm far from being a gunsmith but I bet I can strip the slide with my eyes closed. Aside from all that has been mentioned, the 19...

    Hand Priming

    I have used plenty of RMR bullets in pistol calibers, both pulled and their own brand. They ship fast and stand by their products. BTW, they sent the cuppon code MERRYANDBRIGHT on 12/28 for 10% off. It may still be good if you order.

    I have used a Hornady for about seven years. My only complaint is that the backlight on the display will flicker from time to time. More importantly, it is accurate. I calibrate it before every reloading session with the two weights it came with.

    Hand Priming

    All I can speak for are small pistol primers but I have used most major bands including Remington, CCI, Winchester, Fiocchi, and Sellier & Bellot. All work fine. The S&Bs are on sale at Cabela’s at the moment for $19.99 so it would be worth it to stock up if there is a store near you or online...

    Just bought a Ruger LCP II

    For a pocket holster, I agree with Calculon that Remora is great. I also like the DeSantis Nemesis. If you want leather, Lobo and Bear Creek are both top notch. It may also be nice to have an tuckable iwb holster for it. It will come in handy for dressier occasions. I have one from...

    Altamont Grips for a S&W Model 60-15 (3” jframe)

    Thanks to all for the helpful replies. As I ponder the grip options, I have been using a spare set of Hogue Bantam grips (link below) that I had intended to use on a 642. The rubber grips certainly feel secure and soak up recoil, however, they tend to stick to clothing. Of course, we are always...
