      My Brand New Taurus 856 Defender

      All the new-production guns with exposed hammer spurs have them. Some of the Centennial models are offered without them. Usually the higher-end, performance-center models. So clearly Smith knows it's a desireable "upgrade" to not have the idiotic thing on there. I recently removed the lock and...

      Should I have kept my mouth shut ?

      No worries, I'm not going to put you on ignore, because 1.) that's not how I handle simple differences of opinion with other intelligent adults, and 2.) you and I aren't even disagreeing at a fundamental level. Whether we were initially taught 3 rules or 4 (or even 7 or 9), I'm confident you...

      Should I have kept my mouth shut ?

      Are we really arguing about this? Three or four rules...who cares? It's the real world, not an English classroom. Engage your mind, use common sense. Guns are inherently dangerous. They make holes in stuff. Don't point them at stuff you don't want to put holes in, and don't touch the bangy bits...

      My Brand New Taurus 856 Defender

      It sounds like that one may be worth opening up and cleaning and polishing. There's probably some burrs, machine marks, or grit in there making it rough. If they're bad enough it could even be binding and making the pull heavier than it actually should be. Does anybody make spring kits for the...

      Should I have kept my mouth shut ?

      I don't care who cleared it, or how many times. I still don't want it pointed at me. There are plenty of ways to handle a gun in every shop I've ever been to without pointing it at other people, even if that's just aiming the muzzle at the floor. But, unfortunately the majority of the general...

      Talk me out of .327 revolvers

      Do you reload? Because if not you're going to want to start if you buy one of those. Otherwise, I say go for it!

      Fan of cheap guns... or just a hypocrite?

      No argument there, it definitely has. IMO, DA/SA is definitely not for everyone, as it takes some work to master the trigger pull transition, as well as the administrative function of de-cocking. And I've caught plenty of people trying to holster cocked DA/SA guns on the range, so it can...

      Fan of cheap guns... or just a hypocrite?

      Currently I have some Winchester PDX-1, and some handloads that replicate the Speer 135gr .38 +P Gold Dot Short Barrel load...but I can't find the factory stuff anywhere. When I do, I'll buy a bunch. I still have a box of the .357 Gold Dot Short Barrels for my 640...it's a fantastic load. Why...

      Fan of cheap guns... or just a hypocrite?

      That's a killer deal on a nice little gun. My buddy has one and it's a great shooter...I just don't have a need for a tiny SAO in my life. If they made something that size in DA/SA I'd be trampling over people to get one!

      Fan of cheap guns... or just a hypocrite?

      Looking forward to reading your review once you have it in hand. I just got off the boat and now we're hanging around the fire...I've been wearing the 642UC all afternoon and am loving this little revolver. I can barely even tell it's there.

      Is this safe?

      OP, did you hit what you were aiming at, and leave a round hole in it when you shot those?

      I need help.. I keep buying Beretta pistols..

      I saw and handled an Inox 92 Compact Type M today at Top Shot Armory just outside of South Bend. It has black controls and a factory box. Unfortunately, it does not have the factory grips, and is instead wearing a set of Pachmayrs that don't fit right. They were asking $895. It's the first...

      Interesting Revolver Behavior?

      This is why I always leave the rebound spring alone when I work on a Smith revolver. I've tried lighter ones and hated the feel, plus the risk of failure to fully reset. With stock springs, it takes quite a bit of effort to short stroke the gun, even intentionally. They really push the trigger...

      9mm carbine wisdom

      It's not about the recoil...at least not completely. No, the recoil of a blowback gun is not at all unmanageable. But it's much higher than it needs to be due to the heavy bolt required to cope with the 9mm in a straight blowback system. All that mass travelling back and forth creates bounce...

      9mm carbine wisdom

      Find something that's not straight blowback.
