Wow. Just wow.
Lessons: SUV with no front wheels can still be a threat. And something about bringing a pistol to an SUV fight.
Stay safe, guys.

Those two after-milling slides sure have a patch of shiny bare steel. Is that stainless steel? If not, wouldn't you be worried about rust under the optic?
I realize this is a thread drift and...
Oh yes, somewhat on the order of firing .455 PROOF LOADS with every shot, if using factory loaded .45 Auto Rim rounds. If you can ever find those. But if you roll your own, then you can load to not...
Oh yeah, it doesn't have any old Beretta style mag release button on the grip. So I guess I shouldn't say they went overboard with releases :p
As mentioned above, the mag release is almost everything ever invented, although it is missing a P-38 style grip mag release. Hers are the words from the Walther link:
"Featuring an optics-ready...
I was referring to the video title photo in Post #772.

If that is indeed a downward sliding mag release, that I think it would be something of a new idea. Well, HK has levers at the very corner of the trigger guard, but this HiperMystery pistol seems to...
Can't tell from pics - did he re-stamp the serial number onto the frame someplace else, so he could stipple the entire front strap?
That is first rate work and the gun looks great. But I want to...
Or perhaps the markings are only on some custom factory versions?

Your slide doesn't have the Springer logo or the big SA-35 markings on it. Did they drop those from later production guns or move them to the left side?

The number one cause of...
From the good old days:
.38 WCF is really a .40
.38 Special is really a .36 (rounding a bit)
.44 Magnum is really a .43 (again, rounding)
So .30 Super is really a .31?
I have had several FN built HiPowers but quickly sold the .40 S&W one, as that heavier slide just ruined the balance. The 9mm versions are the most balanced and graceful of pistols.
They were...
This is a great thread!
To the OP of this thread, may blessings be upon your recent marriage.
To those more knowledgeable than I, which is pretty much everybody, I have a P229 question.

I have an old Washington State Patrol 92. Tooltech had the ability, 30 or 40 years ago,...
2 things, from somebody who appreciates brave LEOs but never was one.
One - dang, you guys are talking about speeds where pilots start thinking of getting airborne. OK on a runway, scary on...
I do regret selling mine, which I bought as the first owner. But way back then, it was my first N-frame and I didn't like the balance. Pardon me while I kick myself.

I just picked up mine today ($620 prior to tax) and found that gunshops are not the place to go when COVID checks are arriving in bank accounts. But I eventually got my gun after the WA State law...
And that last picture looks just like my Hand Ejector, except for the grips. Thanks for providing it.
More about that revolver. Shipped to Canada during WW1, later changed from .455 to .45 Colt,...
There is another option not yet mentioned. I've seen it done twice, once on a Colt Police Positive Special which I wish I had purchased, and the second time on a 2nd Model Hand Ejector which I now...
Considering where you seem to live, that may be the exact serial number Ruger I once owned. And still do very much regret selling.
So, as already asked by others, which shop has used guns worth...
Need to define "disassembly". Does that actually include field stripping, as in a routine cleaning after practice on the range? Can't take the slide off or barrel out with being an armorer? That...
I have a precise predilection for the previous owned pre-Model 15 and pre-Model 18, so yes, that makes me a prevert.

So it seems that CZ is in the process of buying Colt's Firearms, according to a recent post on The Firearms Blog. The deal is agreed-to and the details are being worked out.
I have no clue as to...
HD, don't let my complaints keep you from seeking. I find that PPS model to be a nicely balanced sixgun. They can't all be bad. Just be careful in your shopping.
The D-frame I like the most is...
"last model Police Positive Specials, the ones with the shrouded ejector rod"
I bought two of those, used. The first was beautifully polished and blued and was a complete jamma-matic. It would...
