It was embarrassing to have that picture up showing my neglect to my Interweb compadres, but it was an important reminder to the community that rust, like politicians, never sleeps during its sworn quest of destroying all firearms!

Agreed. Despite my preference for the three inch BBL for its ballistic advantage and vastly better sights, if I could only have one J Frame it would be the ugliest sidearm I own, the Bodyguard pictured above. It is the gun I carry when I cannot carry a gun.

And I know most defensive applications require smooth double action work, but I am comforted by the fact I do have the ability to shoot single action if I had to.

Trader, it was literally a lifetimes "work" the collection. You have to remember, I have only been married 13 years. That was a LONG stretch there where I had no adult supervision. I live modestly, a reflection on my parents. I traveled a lot for the company, so I never took vacations. Company...

Well gents, after a lifetime of collecting and shooting I have to admit to myself I am slowing down. When Biden got elected we knew he was going to drive the economy into the ditch, and getting out of debt was our best chance at insulating ourselves. When we got married, my wife and I sold our...

I have tried the Commander. I would certainly not feel handicapped with a Commander over a Government Model. But for me the full size points better, probably due to more practice. What I am saying is, be sure and try both! And if you shoot a striker fired pistol well, you owe it to yourself to...

Good review and good shooting! I latched on to some painters safety glasses at the Duluth Store. They are magnifying cheaters, but with the magnifying lens at the TOP of the lens. So when your head is locked down, your sights are clear like you are 20 years old again. I heartily recommend them...

Just noticed the rust on the grip screw of the J-Frame. Diligence is required in maintaining all carry guns, they are exposed to a lot of sweat and humidity. Looks like today is a vault rust check day!

Gents, as it happens I have a Smith and Wesson PD329. And it is so light it feels like a toy. Notice the concealment grips; I have carried this inside the waistband in a proper holster. With .44 Special Full Wadcutters. It is pictured with a S&W Model 38 more commonly known as the Bodyguard. A...

I buy most everything locally. Helps that I am in the same town as MidwayUSA so I can use the pickup option there so no shipping charges on even heavy items like ammo. I use the mail twice a year to mail the two checks a year I write...one to the Homeowners Association and one to the Rifle and...

Commander Length Slide in a 1911 is as short as I will go. It is a reliability question for me. I have an intense dislike of coned barrels; too muzzle heavy for my taste. So during the Great Collection Sale it left me. A Commander length slide with an Officers Grip Frame is nice; easy to hide...

Sorry for your loss. If he left any firearms you have no interest in you can post pictures of them too and we would be able to give you some ballpark figures. The Easy Button is to sell them all to a local gunshop, but they will generally only give about 50 to 60 percent of their value.

OK, a plumber then. I have some friends from Louisiana that live in motorhomes and follow the oil welding jobs. They are making some serious coin. AI is never going to replace a plumber.

I am in a liberal college town. So Climate Change is a religion for these people, because everyone has a God sized hole in them and they have to fill it. Some do drugs, some drink, some liberals turn to the Party Line to replace Religion proper. They should just go to Church and would get...

The really sad thing is how many youngsters want to be influencers when they grow up. Around 57% of Gen Z folks rate that as what they want to be when they grow up. Ignoring the fact only about 30% crack $50,000 a year from being an influencer. The odds of being an influencer that makes real...

You have to remember I lump all "influencers" and people that take them seriously as people that can be trifled with. (as opposed to a man that is not to be trifled with) I am not on Facemask or Ticky Tock or Instasham or any other social media platforms other than a few forums. People that...

Here is a better view of the sights on the Pro Series 60. Three inch bbl, .357 Magnum (just in case, but real advantage is not afraid of any +P .38 rounds) sights my over 60 year old eyes can see, round butt for concealment...enough in the plus category for me to overlook the big negative which...

I took Shelby out too. Clear and cold here, so it was a short trip but I need to to keep my head on straight during the Holidays!

Mike P that is just a garden variety S&W 36-1. The newer Pro Series also has good sights, so I ended up getting one despite the internal lock and all that implies. It is a beast with .357 loads, but has a comfortable strength margin when shooting the .38 Plus P load I prefer, the lead...

Yes, I know a lot of guys carry these because they are so easy to pack. Harder to shoot with that short sight radius, small grips and small sights. If you put on bigger grips, you should carry a K Frame as they are easier to shoot under stress. If you belt carry a J frame, please look into a...
