Re: Out of Stock! - Should I wait?

I very recently was looking for a P365XL and of course none to b found. So I say to the guy behind the counter “think the gunmakers would pick up the pace and get some guns delivered”.

Re: S&W model 60 and +p

Thanks man, that info solidified my thoughts, much appreciated. I feel confident enough that a +P round or two would be OK. I also feel confident enough that today’s 38 special hollow points should be enough to do the job but I needed someone else’s thoughts on the matter. Mav

S&W model 60 and +p

I recently called Smith&Wesson regarding the use of plus PMO in my model 60 which dates back about 26 years. I’m trying to figure out why I shouldnt shoot +P also but they say no and were kind of vague in the answer. It must have something to do with the internals because when you compare the mo...

Re: What was your first revolver?

S&W mod 60, about 35 years ago living in S FLA. It’s not my everyday carry but certainly a safe go to gun as needed.

Re: Anyone do the Ocala show at the Country Club?

There is been three or four of them there this summer. I went to the first one they had and it is a very small venue but I did score some 45 ACP in a very decent price and there were some vendors there with some decent prices but again it’s very small. No I didn’t go to the last one they had a mont...

Re: SIG P365 SAS Opinions?

The only piece I’ve ever appreciated porting on is a 5” S&W 44Magnum. It had one large port at the end and top of the barrel and helped w control some. But as far as a self defense pistol porting is a detriment. Gases, glare, and burning powders are not nice in the face. I was interested in the ...

Re: A Floridian For 31 Years

A few years after NAM (73) I came from CT to F L A. Drove to Jax then across to Dunedin for a swim. There was nothing there on that part of the beach, just beach. Real nice. Stayed for a time then on to Miami. Never to go back to CT except to see family. On a side note, CT was a different culture ba...
