@Vapor since you are familiar with the G19X here are some size comparison photos between a standard Glock 19 and a 3" S&W L Frame: As you can see the two a quite comparable in size. The revolver style of grip makes the L Frame a little longer and a little taller but the shape of it means it...

I'm way down south but also about 1,800ft ASL. Where I start my shift is 2,000ft ASL. It gets cold up here too. And windy. And foggy, very, very foggy.

I started work last night at 6:30pm and it was 50. By the end of my shift it was 22 and freezing rain. Now it is about 29 but no wind and bright and sunny. If it went so damn soggy everywhere this would otherwise be good weather to shoot

It's funny YOU mention that. About the snowshoes on the range. In early December I procured a 1k round case of quality 9mm then the holidays came and immediately after that this dreadful cold snap with all the snow and ice hit and I have not shot one single round. It's sunny and warmish now...

Well revolvers are fun anyway. Lots of versatility for woods work too. You can easily swap in some snake shot if needed and revolvers cycle everything regardless of power level which is nice. I've even gotten some enjoyment out of drilling to minimize reload times. I've gotten my time down to...

Get a revolver because you think theybare cool, not because they are "more powerful". For self defense against humans a semi auto IS more effective. My primaries are either a S&W Shield Plus or an M&P Compact. I love my 586 and I doncarry it occasionally but I 8n no way think the latter is a...

I'm just saying, it's not so cut and dry. The S&W 627PC w/ 2.5 barrel, aka the "bloodwork" revolver is considered to be properly a snub nose and the 327 "Pugnose" is a snub but both are rather larger than an L frame 3" which is not generally considered a snub nose. A medium frame 3" revolver...

Define "Snub Nose". Is a S&W L frame with a 3" barrel and snub nose? There seems to be no concensus on this, with some saying it would be and others saying it isn't. @Vapor, I have a S&W 586 L-Comp which is S&W's medium-heavy frame in .357 Magnum, 7 shot cylinder and a 3" barrel w/ integral...

I am very disappointed in this Trump's pick of this anti gun Pam Bondi personally. However we have little choice but to hope she carries out Ttump's, and therfore the people's, will.

I'm there dude.

They damn well had better follow through on this. Enough of these games. Round em up, send em back, imprison anyone the gets in the way.

I ardently hope Trump is serious about prosecuting anyone that gets in the way of the deportation of illegal aliens.

Anything leftists say is 180° from the right thing to do. If NYT says something is bad it is therefore good.

Good heavens! No reason to not get one for that price! Unless you already have several. Nevertheless it always nice to see that you can still *occasionally* get quality goods at a low price.

It's cool. Also manages to make the handguard look good as it otherwise appears ridiculous with the factory stock.

It pisses me off these goddamn communist COULD balance a budget but deliberately choose not to because they can depend on federal funds. I am living paycheck to fucking paycheck because these assholes have inflated the currency to all hell with their irresponsible, reckless spending. I am...

An unexpected, albeit very welcome, benefit of the extremely low mass my Para 3 LW has been that it enables tge pocket clip to keep things pit no matter what. I have lost many knives due to them slipping out of my pocket unnoticed, including several of the Kershaw Skylines. I have had the Para...

Camel could fuck up a cup of coffee.

I had a blur, nice knife but I hate assisted blades, the all eventually fail as yours has. Fortunately you can simply remove the spring and it will function perfectly fine as an unassisted knife. I am irritated with Kershaw however for dropping their best model, the Skyline, which was a...

Well, I have to disagree with your assertion of higher end steels being an overindulgence. D2 is an excellent steel in it's intended application: jigs and especially dies where its high hardness gives it a good service life. For blades however, while good it is not particularly corrosion...

CIVIVI is the Holosun of knives. Chinese made from western design specs and with good build quality and materials. My only issue is I am not familiar with Chinese steels sonI have no idea what the characteristics of the blade would be

Female perpetrator. Any such incident not enacted by a straight white male gets quietly swept under the rug.

That is not at all what I was implying. I was expressing my admiration.

Ah, not an option. I don't own the truck, I am not supposed to be carrying a gun at work. I cannot fix a holster to the interior. And my biggest issue with belt carry at work is not so much one of comfort, the Ironside is sufficient, though not especially, comfortable for me to wear for long...

My daily EDC load out for the past full week. I find the T-Rex Arms Ironside hybrid IWB holster comfortable enough to wear over even a 12 hour shift behind the wheel, no small feat considering that in the past even carrying the G19 in a leather OWB holster became extremely uncomfortable over...

Anything under a 10.3" requires careful thought and parts selection to get running right. It used to be that under that length reliability was always suspect but the market has responded with solutions. Nevertheless when going shorter than 10.3 you are on a non-standard, specialized path in...

I think you should build what I would also like to build someday: A heavy bench pig of target rifle.

Welcome. Old fart with a fondness for new guns? That's great! I myself like a little bit of everything from iron and wood milsurp rifles to the latest in polymer framed pistols with red dots.

That might look good under a prospective M&P10 PC. They were wise to go with Streamlight style switching, simplest and most intuitive style. Equally wise to include customizable switches too., allows for an asymmetric setup again like on a Streamlight. All this being said with the new HL-X...

I guess Ruger figures if you can't beat 'em join 'em. I do think it's kind of sad though, Ruger had something in the SR9 series, instead of abandoning it for the budget Security 9 or the clumsy American they could have continued to iterate on the SR9 which was an updated continuation of Ruger's...

Bragg needs to be disbarred, charged, tried, convicted and imprisoned. Failing that maybe we get lucky and he is hit by a bus or run down by a taxi.

Ar what point could charges of sedition be brought up? Those of treason?

With around 1,500 rounds down range through my new setup I think it's safe to say the DPP Titanium adapter plate is GTG. The supplied screws were the proper length and everything has held together firmly, no loss of screw torque. The Holosun EPS is also a great optic, I really like how lo-pro...

So something like 1,500 rounds through it now, much of it being hot Winchester NATO loads, and not one single malfunction, not even a hint of one. Zero. I now question if this gun is actually made by Smith and Wesson at this point. It shoot flat, it shoots fast, it shoots accurately and...

At least I haven't had any issues with the carry comp. Not the slightest hiccup over 1k rounds now.

Maybe just hold off a bit, see what solutions come up. It's a new gun, teething problems are typical. Look at all the issue the P365 had initially. Thing is I don't see the new Bodyguard mix of capacity, size and ergonomics duplicated in any other model Ruger has a new high capacity .380 but...

Looks like the 340PD will be continuing on in pocket duty for tge foreseeable future. That's fine, it's a good little gun. Good little evil gun.

Well that is a crying ass shame right there. I am 2 for 2 on our of the box returns for S&W revolvers but I had hoped that what they say about the polymer pistol modles being GTG was true. Then again it's not unusual for a brand new model to have teething issues. Hopefully Smith gets under it...

"Remember when a case of basic 9mm was $170 and not $300? Pepperidge Farms remembers." Actually @S&W Fan I fibbed a little: I guess all things considered that is not a horrible price. Ammo seems to be coming down.

My LGS was only wanting $390 for the 2.0 so even at $50 a pop for your trade ins you'd likely have less than $300 to make up the difference and you'd have a far better gun. Or so I'd presume. I haven't shot the 2.0 but with good sights, grip, trigger and overall balance I fail to see how it...

I don't know what appropriate category holster stuff should go into so....... @HEX maybe there should be a gun/shooting gear section? Ammo/accessories has only ammo related threads and range/carry gear seems out of place in there. Anyhoo..... picked this up of the doorstep yesterday: It is...

Anybody have one? Opinions? There was a classified post where someone sold one but no other threads it seems. In any case when I picked up my Carry Comp a few weeks ago I was checking out a Bodyguard 2.0 they had in stock. I was impressed! Until I saw one in person I didn't see any point to...

Finally with the arrival of my Ironside convertible IWB/OWB holster from T-Rex Arms I can Finally put the S&W Carry Comp Compact into my carry rotation. Currently the holster is in IWB configuration and it is actually extremely comfortable that way, so much so that the only time I'd bother...

Well this was a short lived thread. Nevertheless I thank @S&W Fan for bringing it up as it motivated me to get my own hobo knife and I have found it extremely useful these last few months. In fact I would add it ti the list of essential items for a trucker to keep in the truck. I would also...

Put that ugly cunt up against a wall.

HKs are fancy, aren't they? Fixed blade knife in kydex holster in TikTok mount is pretty fancy I think.

Because your gear there looks tactical and fancy? Fancy=Posh. Tactical Posh. Tacti-Posh.

I replaced the factory 16lb recoil spring with this. It's a triple nested progressive rate setup. 10lbs at full extension, 15lbs at full compression. I didn't buy it so much for the recoil reduction but to reduce the significant barrel dip when the slide slams home. It accomplished this and...

How very tactiposh of you. I am awaiting my M&P Carry Comp holster to arrive and then I can put the Sexy Smith into CCW service as well.

All the way from Athens Greece this thing came!
