Thank you all for the feedback. I called SA today and they kindly emailed me a fedex label to send the slide back. Then I thought, I don't want to be the guy who sends it in, only to have them try it and get it off the first time. Soooo, I tried it again and whatdya know? It came off. I guess...

I was field stripping my Hellcat RDP to give it a good cleaning and ran into a problem. I've searched posts, and only saw questions about getting the compensator back on. My issue is I can't get it off. I press the locking lever and can turn just shy of a 1/8th turn and is freezes. I Never had...

Thank you for this post.

My wife got a new fancy sewing machine that does custom embroidery. It looks more computer than sewing machine. At least it's quieter than the last one. Anyway, I thought that I deserved to get something too. I brought home a brand new S&W 686-plus 6". Sweeeet! All cleaned up and shiny for...

I carry for the occasion and comfort level. With the weather in South Florida, my Hellcat RDP with the 15 round mag does the trick. It's the right balance of defense power and the need to conceal with lighter clothing for most EDC situations. However, if I'm dressing fancy, I might go with the...

I'm glad it worked out for you. Our community is gated. Now, that would not necessarily stop someone from climbing the perimeter wall. However, we have a camera system that automatically captures photos of the front and rear of the vehicles that enter, as well as photos of the people in the...

This from the SWAT movie.....

There's a lot to that. On the opposite end of the scale, I had a 90 plus year old patient once who tried to end his life with a .38 revolver. He placed the muzzle directly against the top of his scalp (pointing down) and fired. However, the bullet did not penetrate the skull; it just flattened...

My carry with a tux. It's the /S variant, so has a 7 round mag (instead of 6) in .380 (instead of .32). Loaded with Hornaday critical defense rounds. Sorry to disappoint Mr. Bond, but it does not mix well with a Vesper.

On the topic of the original post.....I live in FL, but maintain my CCW license. That way, as mentioned in the article, when I travel I know I'm covered one way or another...except for red states (on the USCCA map/app). In terms of training, I've seen my share of yahoos purchasing firearms and...

I read that law (I'm not a lawyer). I get the intent of the law, but there are unintended and possibly surreptitious consequences. That said, the law has a snowball's chance in hell of getting a 60% vote in the Senate to pass. Even if it were to somehow pass into law, there are serious...

My Hexwasp came as part of the Hellcat RDP package. It's been replaced once after I dropped it and the glass cracked. Awesome, they replaced it. Last week it stopped working. I figured it was the battery. Took the battery out and a small metal part dropped onto the work surface. After...

No one here can't say they were never a newbie. My time was my first summer in Boy Scout camp using a single shot bolt action .22 rifle. That got me hooked...and an NRA marksman medal/award that summer Today, I was checking in at the range, and an exuberant older man comes to the range counter...

I dunno. I buy firearms for the firearms, not the promotionals. A promotional is an advertising gimmick to try to move inventory. 3 mags...those seem nice, but not a deal breaker for me. I've gotten those folios before (Springfield XDM Elite...I think?). I don't use them. They stay in the box...

Great discussion and good points. I was thinking about this problem from two points of view: First, the constitution. When someone owns real estate, they own it subject to: police power, eminent domain, taxation, and escheat. Police power mean the state has the power to regulate property use...

Before posting this, I did a search of the forum for this issue, but did not see it. That said....what are your thoughts on the possible implications of Bruen on local government zoning regulations prohibiting gun ranges? I have my thoughts...let's hear yours. Remember the rules, please keep...

So their law forbids nonviolent misdemeanor offenders from purchasing a firearm?!?! So, lets say some 18 year old gets in trouble for drinking alcohol while underage (not DUI though). Or someone accidently bounces a check and is prosecuted. That person can't EVER buy a firearm in...

The issue has to do with impact of overhead on the seller's profit. By making a deal with 1 shipper for their exclusive rights, they lock in lower shipping costs. In some cases, they have agreement with multiple shippers where they get similar discounts for certain class of service, hence next...

In the category of you can't make this stuff up: I got the same deal with eyeglass cleaner at Costco: 2 bottles of cleaner. Free refills in a dispenser in the eyeglass department. Refilled my bottles for years. Then all of the sudden, the dispensers vanish. Turns out someone tried to fill their...

I like that look. I've started browsing and will see what I might like.
