I honestly didn’t realize it was still in their catalog, but a guy can have a slow, agonizing death waiting for W-W to load a run of Silvertip anything!

Sig discontinued that one last year.
I forgot Wilson loaded for it. Thank you!
Yeah, I own a dozen 9s and t I’m not going to handload my defense ammo.
I have a question for the brain trust here. I recently purchased a Dan Wesson in Super 38 that would like to carry at times. I was shocked to realize that none of the major ammunition manufacturers...
I looked VERY HARD at doing this - I believe the rim diameter of 22WMR is enough greater than the LR to make it a no-go. Those 8 holes are really close together on the LR version. However, Ruger...
The MR88 grip frame identical to the Ruger Speed Six. If you were to find such a unicorn in the USA, it might be listed as for Ruger instead of Manurhin. I spent a few years looking for a black set -...
I happen to be a minion at the dreaded LGS. When the 30 SC announcement came out, I convinced the boss to go ahead & order one of the S&Ws - somebody ALWAYS wants to be the first guy on the block....
Used to carry one of those as a backup under my patrol jacket loaded with 125 Federal - ahh the good old days! I had a 4" CS-1 as well. I need to replace those :cool:
Me too! (3")
Uh, there was exactly ONE 942 if I remember correctly. I'd definitely consider a 9mm converted airweight to be a weapon of last resort. Frame stretch might be measurable at the end of each box of...
Raven P25's weakest link is the firing pin. They love to break under dry fire. Good news/bad news: tool steel replacements are available, but they cost more than the gun is worth (IMO, of course). I...
Trust me, Charley Askins lost no sleep differentiating between Nazi party members and Wehrmacht draftees. He wasn't the most "politically sesnsitive" of folks.
I'm an SP2022 lover myself - it's my favorite da/sa Sig. I've forsaken it for the PX-4CC but its a great pistol. I would imagine the only reason it is still in production is for thr French...
What problems did you encounter?
I'm late coming in on this, but maybe it will be of use to others. I'm finding the Ruger American in 300 BO to be a problem child. I've had a few across my bench now with tricky extraction/ejection...
I agree that they're great guns, but, around here, no one buys a 380 unless it's smaller than a package of TicTacs!
FAMS used to be limited off-duty to their P229 or a P230 in 380 by their regs. About 3 years ago their rules were changed to allow a number of "more appropriate" choices. I sold at least a couple...
It's always interesting to me how recoil is perceived & felt differently between individuals. I've always found 125gr 357 Magnums much more pleasant to shoot than 158gr. Yes, there's more blast with...
I'm a gunsmith by profession. I have been inside of these. I refuse to work on them AT ALL, nor will any other true gunsmith I know. There is nothing inside of it that resembles an AR. The S&W is a...
1 1/2 fingers - I have biggish hands! But they are fully functional for me with stippling-easily 150% better & stays planted under recoil. The boot grips soften recoil as well as the stock grips for...
Sorry for posting & then disappearing there!
Yes, it is a Novak & BehindBlueI's is dead-on as to the sight picture. I think of it like a shotgun bead - I want to see the entire FO rod or white...
Stippling the Boot Grip made them 200% more effective for me. I'm not a stippler, but I did it in under 10 minutes (prolly shows, too). This old LCR (1rst year model) has travelled with me many years...
I'm not at all certain about the current use or not of the Manuhrin wheelies by GIGN, but for many years their usual M.O. was the 357 revolver on the right hip and a 9mm auto (usually Glock or Sig)...
This is really the crux of the biscuit in relation to pocket carry. I usually pocket an LCR with boot grips, but some pants pockets limit me to a KelTec 32. At the moment I'm wearing my usual Duluth...
