    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    This one has been on my mind for awhile, I like it's bulldog appearance. But do I really want 2 snub noses right of the bat?

    Any else hear retirement age going to 75?

    What the difference does it make?! SS benefits amount to a token pittance in the face of today's cost of living. I'm 45 and I know I will have to work until I die.

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    Well the next revolver will be an L frame or equivalent in .357 mag. I really should be getting on with scoping and re-stocking my 10/22 Target Lite however.

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    So on the basis that I couldn't discern much if any difference in the the feel of the +p Golden Sabres as compared to the 148gr wadcutters and that I found the .357s unpleasant yet tolerable from the 340PD, I wouldn't have any issues shooting .44 mags from beefy revolver like a 629. I shot 20...

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    How would the recoil of a .44 Magnum from a Model 629 or equivalent large frame revolver compare to the 340PD w/ .357s? I am feeling emboldened now. What about a .500 S&W?

    BREAKING: Pro-Palestine protesters appear to be threatening to storm through the White House fences and are threatening Secret Service agents.

    I modified my diet, started working out, lost 70lbs and I having been going to the range more often. Bring it leftists, LET'S DO THIS BITCHES!

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    Yes, I don't think think I'd care to shoot it with the factory grips. As you can see the Crimson Trace grips offer a generous cushion over the backstrap. I could see bare metal as being painful, with these grips .357 recoil is manageable though still unpleasant. .38 Specials however are no...

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    Targets shot @10 yards with a mix of the 148gr wadcutters and the +p Golden Sabers. I detected minimal difference in felt recoil and said recoil was entirely fine . In fact I enjoyed shooting the little demon quite a bit Recoil in .357 was very stout, unpleasant even but not to the point of...

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    You people are pansies, I shot all 50 goddamn rounds of that .357 out of the little bastard. Cleaning up at the range now, pictures to follow when I get home. In fact I am now strongly considering carrying .357s

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    So which do we prefer on an L frame (or any medium size revolver)? 4" barrel or the 3"? I used to think the 4" looked best but now I am coming around to the 3". 6" looks ungainly to me, maybe on a .44 mag where the power is more befitting of the bulk.

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    I am going to try a grip demonstrated by Jerry Miculek on one of his videos. For lightweight, small frame magnum revolvers he favors a grip in which the thumb of his supporting hand wraps over top his firing hand to aid with recoil mitigation. I'll give that a go and see.

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    I am questioning the L-Comp now. I heard that being cut for moon clips the L-comp ma suffer accuracy issues and potentially light strike issues when NOT using moon clips due to the cartridge rims being only partially supported. I have little interest in using moon clips so maybe I should just...

    I plan on taking the little Smith to the range tomorrow. I have done an absolute ton of dry fire practice all week, hundreds of trigger pulls, I have gotten to the point where I can very quickly and reliably stage the trigger just before the break and I can also pull straight through all at...

    Springfield Armory Hellcat Pro

    Seems like a very good size for a general purpose carry gun. Too bad it's sold by Springfield Armory. Fuck Springfield Armory. Consider any of the myriad larger forms of the P365 or a Performance Center Shield with the 4" barrel.

    PA’s Insane Ammunition Registration Database, Wants All Your Ammo to Have Separate Serial Numbers

    That is indeed an example of what I an talking about. Frankly given the ease of getting a permit in vast majority of PA I find constitutional carry to be largely academic here. It does sound like it would help defeat the shenanigans NYers face getting PA permits in the border counties though.

    PA’s Insane Ammunition Registration Database, Wants All Your Ammo to Have Separate Serial Numbers

    PA Government is inept and dysfunctional. Nothing ever gets done in Harrisburg, good or bad. PA is one of the most ass-backward states I've ever been in. A bill like this one has been put forward in one form or another for decades now, part of a rotating roster of anti gun bills that get...

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    The yoke repair raised my eyebrow too. I didn't notice any issues with its operation but I'm not very familiar with revolvers in general so I probably missed something. I put the laser grips back on and put the dot right atop the front sight, she is all ready for some long awaited range time...

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    I don't know if they did a stealth trigger job or what but the trigger is noticeably smoother and lighter now Edit: they had to have, the trigger is really smooth and slick and the pull is definitely lighter. It's really quite a nice double action pull. I can also tell by the cylinder face...

    S&W 9mm RESPONSE SERIES CARBINE..

    True. If S&W released a 30 round M&P magazine that wouldn't matter as much but they don't so there is that. I think I'd still rather have the folder however. I like magazine-in-grip PCCs better than the standard style.

    Mike Johnson Elected as Speaker of the House

    I don't think it actually matters who the speaker is. RINO or MAGA Mike Johnson isn't going to do anything for us. Frankly the best case scenario was for the situation to have gone on and effectively have the house shutdown. A non-functional government is the best we can hope fir these days.

    Do you know what your IQ is? I received numerous IQ tests throughout my schooling years as well as before and after my military service. My IQ score is not low. I think most people here can perceive that. It's one of the reasons I am anti-communist.

    Considering a new way to CC

    You describe situations where someone is actually holding the gun. If a loaded gun is sitting on a table in a quality, well fitting holster and you happened to walk in front of the muzzle do you think you are in any actual danger? Shoulder holster is no different. Guns do not just "go off" for...

    As a truck driver Shoulder carry is my preferred CC method. Either a Shield Plus in a Galco Miami Classic lite, like tge one @Deplorable Me posted, or a Glock 19 in a standard Galco Miami Classic. Shoulder carry is wrongly overlooked; while there are drawbacks such as slow speed of draw and...

    Bond Arms derringers?

    Shot a buddies Bond Derringer at the range a couple times. It was a 2" in .357. Well made firearms, excellent construction and a nice feeling action. Recoil in .357 was brisk but not unbearable, wouldn't go so fat as to say it was pleasant to shoot but it wasn't painful.

    Considering getting a small revolver for pocket carry

    I can't disagree. The 340PD just had an "it" factor for me so I bought it. If I had to do it again or if S&W doesn't get it right I'll turn it in for an LCR. Only thing giving me pause on the Ruger is the larger size of the grips, the smaller grips on the J frame only just keeps from poking...
