Yes. I used a Mika pocket holster for a traditional S&W J frame. The new ultimate Carry ("UC") sighted guns tend to snag a bit in the older holsters. I contacted Mr. Mika who was...
rcbusmc24:
That is a very nicely done 1911. I suspect you will put a lot of miles on that gun. It is true to Col. Cooper's thoughts: Reliable, with sights you can see and a trigger you can...
Actually, the retort should be: "Onagasimasu." Translated from Japanese as "Will you train with me?"
Nice Officers Model.

Malamute:
Thanks for indulging me. I'll keep my fingers crossed and say a prayer to the Malamute Gods that you are able to do the adoption.
Nice looking rifle too.

I plead guilty to thread drift: What are the pups' names? Handsome pair of mals.

GJM:
Agreed. As a fan of the 30-06 I do think it covers pretty much every need in the U.S. That said, I have always been enamored with the idea of a 35 Whelen. The "responsible adult" in...
Outpost 75:
Thanks for the data on that load. The more I load/shoot that combination, the better I like it. I'll have to look into the Saeco mold. I didn't realize it was speed loader...
UNM1136:
I saw the reference to the 35 Whelen AI (Ackley Improved, I believe). I have always been fascinated with that cartridge but never got around to buying/building a gun for it. What...
Outpost 75:
Those are solid choices. I see in the photo of your Colt official Police that you are using 3.5 grains of Bullseye with a 158 grain bullet. I believe I got the same load from...
03RN:
That is a Sparks PMK, correct? That is rapidly becoming a favored revolver holster (at least for outside the waistband carry). I use mine for a Ruger GP100 Match Champion and it...
Lyonsgrid:
Very nicely done revolver. I always admired Smythons. I have seen the same treatment done to Ruger Security Six revolvers and would love to have one of those.
Please...

Thank you for the kind words and endorsement. Coming from you that means a lot. I am in the same boat in that I need to cross paths with you at one of your classes. The retention...
Serious Student:
Thanks for the kind words and endorsement. I appreciate it immensely. Hopefully our paths cross this fall, if not sooner, at Gunsite.

I will be conducting several classes through my company, SAC Tactical, at the Double Tapp Range just east of Boise this coming June. Double Tapp is a newer (and fabulous) facility. I...

What follows are a series of courses that my company, SAC Tactical will be conducting in the northwest Montana area (typically in or near Kalispell). We have added several Firearms...
Dogcaller:
I am glad I could provide some help on this issue. I actually carry a Comp III when I pack a wheelgun. Rob Leahy's Sidewinder speed loader pouch makes it pretty easy. I'll show...
Dogcaller:
A couple of thoughts.
First, while I am always of a mind that "more" is better, realistically if you and your son each have two (2) Safariland Comp IIs or IIIs, you...
Janitor:
This may be sacrilegious in a 1911 thread, but it appears that the rifle is a Pre-64 Model 70 Winchester. Any details that you can share on that rifle? It is gorgeous and a great...
[QUOTE=Tokarev;1550348]
Later guns were cast frames which was supposed to be more durable. These were used on the 40 S&W guns and probably most of the commercial MK3 guns sold in the US....
Wade:
Excellent. I look forward to meeting you and your son as well. See you in Nivember!

Good on you for doing this for your son. I did it for mine and it has paid numerous dividends, miost notably being my son assists me when I am teaching and he is becoming a fine...
Malamute:
Thanks for the link to Charles Russell's book. I know of him via his artwork but never knew he did much writing. I'll read that this winter.
As to Col. Cooper's books,...
NHShooter:
Thanks for posting the photos and educating me on your set up. I am leaning heavily towards carrying a small, fixed blade knife as opposed to the various folders I have used over...
