Modern metallurgy gives handgun manufacturers an extra margin of safety. Old age has made my memory fuzzy, and I'm too lazy to look up 10mm Auto ballistics. Instead of using "too hot" when discussing...
I never handled a BHP 40.
I owned a couple Glock 10mm pistols and decided the caliber is too hot for the platform. Of course, Glock didn't consult me, and I'm not qualified to debate the question....
The BHP has an extremely heavy hammer spring and a somewhat lighter slide. I think that the heavy spring is needed to control slide velocity. I had Cajun perform their full treatment on a CZ P-01....
Cajun's writings imply that recoil springs play the greater role in reducing slide velocity. Others(forgot whom)have demonstrated that hammer spring weight contributes more.
I met Hambo when he was doing hard time in Texas. He would tell his peers that they should think for themselves and then say that's how I got where I am today. We gave him a new set of teeth and...
I like Slip 2000 EWO if I can find the bottle. If not, I grab what's within reach, like Hoppe's Gun Oil. Some here will remember Frog Lube which does provide excellent corrosion protection. I ended...
I never saw a Smith revolver that was lubed at the factory.
The warranty guy had never heard about the big hammer method. I've seen it done by factory trained armorers.
Finally, I fired my new S&W Model 10-7 bought a couple years ago and observed that it shot 8 inches left of point of aim. Ammo was factory 158 grain. Distance was 25 yards. Two other shooters had the...
I don't know when Smith adopted the left hand threads. I bought my first one in 1970. It has the left hand threads.
Clean under extractor star. When cleaning barrel with a brush on a rod, be aware that the end of the brush can hit the firewall. Be gentle. I seldom use brass bristle brushes and opt for nylon...
One of my students asked me how I ran my crack. I told him that in my world crack was something on a woman. He understood,
I owned a Savage 340 until recently. I used it to shoot cast bullets. These are nice little rifles made of stampings and designed to be made at low cost. If scoped, the scope requires a side mount,...
Published community demographics showing percent of population below poverty level is an indicator of crime. It rises with increases in poverty. Within big cities, some neighborhoods have much higher...
My guess is that the extractor may have crud in that section where the spring is. Also check extractor claw for damage. While inspecting, remove parts in firing pin tunnel and remember to keep oil...
I remember that his attorneys discredited the white lead detective to such extent that the jury nullified by voting not guilty.
When I was a kid, I got tons of discarded soft drink bottle caps from our general store. I used these as very close range targets by placing them on the ground on either side of a cow path. I shot as...
I'm an apologist for S&W semi-auto handguns. As a kid I burned up large amounts of corrosive WW2 surplus ammo through an early Model 39 that my dad bought used for $40. I didn't know these pistols...
A Google search showed 4 makers of adjustable sights for the M&P. My guess is that none is as serviceable as the fixed sight that you selected. I entered adjustable sights and S&W M&P. Bingo,
Maybe I'm showing my ignorance. I suggest buying a blue or red healer from a cattle rancher who's got a litter of puppies. The bossy heeler might make everybody go to bed at a certain time. You would...
My city has 20,000 outstanding warrants. Most are from not paying the above type fines and no appearing to court for same. Yes, most of the offenders are minorities, illegal and legal. By not...
I've been to Florida twice, and both times a hippie mooned me. Big lard ass girl. I ain't going back.
Why not call the Oklahoma Highway Patrol which must deal frequently with such questions?
Yep. My lgs has the same experience. That's on the sender and nobody else. Honest error. Let that dog continue to sleep.
Do you chew it or smoke it?😁
