    If Packman isn't interested in all the 38 ammo, I would be interested in some of it as well. Would be able to meet same spot

    Gun Broker Question

    It took me a while to pull the trigger on gunbroker. I didn't like the idea of mailing a money order to a trading post in Idaho for an old S&w 66. But, 3 days later, I had shipping confirmation to my ffl and the people were awesome. As long as you have a good rapport with an ffl at home, it is a...

    Favorite Cleaners and Oils

    Hoppes #9 solvent, whatever gun oil brand I found last at the lgs, and G96 CLP on exteriors that need a little more rust protection. And if a something is really fouled up, Marvel Mystery Oil is awesome for hard buildup

    Full Carry Putnam County

    He was pushed during the election cycle as a pro 2A judge. Time will tell. As far as the application process, as long as you had proof of a safe and a live fire course, you were good to go. Had a family member go through it 2 years ago with a non 2A friendly judge in Putnam and it went through...

    The new Glock G44 announcement (merged thread)

    As much as I stand by Glock as my go to guns, they have an excellent knack for being 5-7 years late to the table with stuff. Just like the 43

    Steel case Tulammo, any good?

    I came across this a while back. While it may not be overly scientific, it definitely made the case against high volumes of bimetal ammo through your guns Brass vs. Steel Cased Ammo - An Epic Torture Test

    S&W Shield M&P decent price.

    Got an email today about there being a 50 dollar rebate from S&W on them until mid December. Double up those rebates and you will make out very well

    Seecamp preorder - who wants one?

    I got a Seecamp 380 years back. 15 months from time of order til I had it. And I paid a bit more than what they sell for now. It's usually what I throw in pocket when I have to go somewhere in a suit. I cringe whenever I shoot it because it sucks to shoot. They are great little guns that fill a...

    Who ships to NY?

    As long as you don't send any detents into outer space. Nothing quite like crawling around the ground with a headlamp looking for those things

    .22LR pistols

    Shot plenty of rounds through my Ruger Mk III. Great gun, good fundamentals practice, cheap, and a great tool to start someone on.

    Taurus Judge

    I had one for a while. Great conversation piece wherever I went with it. Ammo availability and pricing kinda sucked. With 45LC or 410 slugs, it was as accurate as it needed to be. Shot shells were another story. Recoil was nothing with the rubber grips. It was a fun toy and everyone will want to...

    New permit holder looking for a range recommendation...

    I am a member at Putnam County Fish and Game in Carmel. The initial price is I think $450. There is rifle, pistol, trap, indoor air rifle, and archery. Also numerous different events throughout the year and family picnics/bbqs. Well worth the membership price if you utilize all of the facilities.

    My new S&W Model 69 .44 mag 2.75" Barrel

    It will buy ammo, I just wouldn't quite say it will be a lot of anything starting with the number 44. Sweet gun I must say though. Talked myself out of one more than once

    PA Pistol License

    Does every Sheriff's Office issue the permits? Or are there certain ones to go to who don't break balls about non residents? Been looking into this for a while and want it to be as smooth as possible. Thanks

    Thoughts on Smith & Wesson Model 60

    I have an older pinned barrel model 60 in 38. Shoots as well as you can you shoot it, which takes some dedicated practice. Trigger pull leaves a lot to be desired. Would take a 2 inch k-frame any day of the week over the j. It became a safe queen after picking up a 357 LCR. As for the cylinder...

    Ruger Customer Service check

    I have an older gp100 that I had an issue with the trigger resetting. Took it apart, figured out the parts I needed, called Ruger CS and ordered them. I then looked at the phone dumbfounded when they told me there was no charge for the parts. Best customer service I have ever dealt with

    Fun little 9mm / .38 / .357mag comparison

    Charter Arms makes a 9mm, 40, and 45 acp revolver called the pitbull. No moon clips required. I looked into these years ago, but Charter has been plagued with quality issues for years and that ended my interest

    Glock Triggers

    I tinkered around with a Ghost Edge trigger kit for a while. Connector, trigger spring, firing pin spring, and a reduced power safety plunger spring. Makes for a very light and smooth trigger in the Glock. And it was only around 35 dollars shipped

    revolvers

    I always felt you couldn't beat a good and broken in Smith and Wesson K frame trigger. Plenty of models to choose from depending on your intended use

    INTRO - OnSight Firearms Training

    I read this review and it prompted me to take a class with Onsight last fall. Ben did a great job presenting information about close quarter defensive shooting. Even on your first class they treat you like family. These guys do it right. I hope to get back with them a couple of times this year

    Which .357 cc revolver

    I will throw another vote in for checking out the LCR. Sights are decent for what they are, trigger is smooth, and 357's don't hurt (that much).

    Apex Action Enhancement Kit for Glock Pistols

    I looked into the apex trigger but decided on a Ghost Edge kit. To me, 30 bucks was a little more in the budget to smooth out a Glock.

    S&W 65-3

    You most certainly are right that you can't have too many S&W revolvers. Especially pre lock 3" barrel S&W revolvers

    Which Is Or Was Your Favorite Gun Too Shoot?

    Always favored my S&W 686. Simple, smooth, and fun to run all day with 38's
