But does it have MIM parts? Nice platform; I like the retro look.

I finally got around to doing something with the rear sight dots. The original paint was yellowed and dull and since I like black rear sights I re-did them. I used a small drill bit turned by hand to remove the old paint, cleaned with alcohol and using a toothpick and paint from my old black...

Ow. I must be lucky as my old Series 70 Colt never bit me. No problem at all with my SA with a beavertail GS.

Shades of Mexico and other regimes where Military calibers are outlawed for civilian use.

I love the .45 Colt in a revolver. I used a S&W 25-5 in that caliber for many years.'

As Margaret Thatcher famously said; The problem with Liberalism is that eventually you run out of other peoples money to spend.

Not for making legal to own firearms; he was making class 3 controlled firearms.

You need to know what to look for. Those have been faked, reproduced etc. I have a friend that collects Carbines and according to him assume it is fake until proven otherwise.

Shoulder Holsters have their place, It is excellent under a coat when driving, especially for long trips. There are other times it is a good choice but a waist holster either OWB or IWB is usually the better more comfortable choice.

Lobo Gun Leather. This one is an Original Lobo by Ray but I understand the current one from Minnesota are quite good.

while the Echelon etc are made in Croatia, the SA-35 is listed as made in USA and still has a 1/10 twist. I believe the SA-35 parts are obtained semi finished from Turkey and finish machined and assembled in Genesco, IL. I am assuming the barrels are semi finished and already rifled when they...

Now that makes sense. For some reason I thought that they (at least the SA-35) were made in house like the 1911's. I should have thought of that.

It was in the title. SA lists 1/16 in their 9mm 1911, For both 9mm and .45, They list 1/10 in the SA-35 and other 9mm autos. Why 16 in the 9mm and not the SA-35, Echelon etc. Wilson and Ed Brown also show 1/16 for their 9mm barrels (and .45's) It just seems odd that SA would use two...

I was just looking at the various SA offerings again and I noticed that SA lists a 1/10 rifling twist in the SA-35, Hellcat, Echelon etc BUT lists a 1/16 rifling twist for their 1911's. Any ideas why they are using a different twist in the 1911's that the SA-35 and others? I did send them a...

Those are nice. I used a Win 69 for a short time then a Win 72A for a longer time. Next came a 10/22 that got traded off and finally; the last .22 rifle I had was a Kimber of Oregon S-Series supergrade. That one got too valuable to shoot and went to a collector. My present .22 rimfires are a...

Why is there a 3 oz weight difference between a Ronin and a Garrison? Both full size 9mm; The Ronin lists at 41 oz while the Garrison lists at 38 oz. Both forged steel frame, slide and barrel. about the only big differences I see are the sights (Tac Rack and FO vs Novak 3 dot) and the...

Try calling them; if it hasn't been processed / shipped they may let you add it. Have your order no ready.

I received a pre-cut strip from a member of another forum. I trimmed slightly to stay away from the edge and put it on after an alcohol wipe down. Not a perfect job but good enough. I have changed my mind about grit tape on the front strap. It works, looks OK, is very functional AND the...

Folding, I have a variety of Traditional ones mostly Great eastern Cutlery, Pen, Jack, Lambsfoot that I rotate. I also always have a small Alox handle swiss army knife in my pocket.

I think you heard wrong. The Security / Service, Speed Six can have a very nice trigger pull. Mine is very good and totally factory. I do think that as a whole the S&W has a better average action on them. I like the S&W action better than a Colt's (but that is me) The GP-100 and SP-101 I am...
