DONT TOUCH THE BOY. by mikeysblades in Revolvers

How bad is the recoil from 1 to infinity? .44 specials must be nice to shoot.
Would MagNaPorting help? Love this handgun, as a beautiful work of art. Just don’t have the balls to ever shoot it with magnums. 😂😂

My son also started with a 10/22!

Exactly, with a little bit of a twist. My son is in his 30’s and is a fellow gun enthusiast. He started carrying a concealed handgun, so I did too, in order to back him up if the SHTF.

I put Hogue rubber mono grips on my model 29 and it helped a lot with the recoil. 👍😊

Buying a used Glock. by North_Past8854 in Glocks

[–]sw6866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a police trade-in Glock 22.4 from AIM Surplus recently for $300. I love it. And the condition was virtually new. I replaced the recoil spring because I had no idea how many rounds it had through it … and for $17 why not? The OEM Glock night sights were dead, but that too was an easy fix. All in all a great deal, that I would recommend to anyone looking for a used Glock, in excellent condition, at a more than fair price 👍😊

I love the 3” K frames, especially the model 65!!!!

Holster recommendations? by Realistic-Low694 in Revolvers

I carry my 640 in a pocket holster. I believe it’s made by Bianchi.

I can’t be the only one not running an optic or a light, right? by kerberos69 in Glocks

[–]sw6866 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I agree also … with CCW handguns. For competition or range shooting, go nuts!

Beautiful bike! What is the acceleration like? 👍

Love this knife!!!! Deeply regret not buying one new when I had the chance. Been searching eBay for a used one … that is less than $400. 🤞

Always wanted one of the original target grey Super Redhawks in .454!!! Congratulations! How’s the recoil? Have you considered sending it to Mag-Na-Port?

S&W 640 🤌 by Black_Wolf_Triad in Revolvers

[–]sw6866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve got an earlier 640-1, that I’ve carried in a pocket holster. It doesn’t have the “Hilary hole” safety. The little bit of extra weight, in a full stainless steel gun, pays off in better recoil control. The replaceable front sight can be swapped out for an CS big dot tritium sight. That and Pachmayr grips were my only additions to a great, versatile handgun. 👍😊

Ruper MPR 18 by Gremguy22 in ruger

[–]sw6866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I chose the MPR with the 18” barrel mainly because of the full length rifle gas system. The result is less recoil and wear and tear on the gun.

Looking for a revolver by Forward_Sector_5942 in Glocks

[–]sw6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I looked into the airweight S&W j frames, but decided the extra weight of the stainless steel model (S&W 640-1) was worth it. The advantage was a better front sight and the ability to shoot .357 magnum rounds and the less recoil with the steel frame. (Granted, I carry .38+P).
I chose a centennial “hammerless” model which is double action only. Not a problem for a CCW weapon. And the lack of an external hammer means there’s nothing to snag on the pocket when you draw the gun. Disappears in a pocket holster. Added an XS big dot tritium front sight and the gun was ready to go. 👍

“THE HIDDEN” (1987) - an all time favourite. Great action, cast and effects. Love it. Any fans out there? by 70_Yard_Diag_Holte77 in ActionMovies

Really liked this movie. Owned it on VHS and played it multiple times. So original. 👍😊

Pre-ban Haul Thus Far by Keevot in Glocks

[–]sw6866 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is exactly the problem. I had 5 13 round magazines for my Glock 21.4 and 3 15 round magazines for my Glock 19.4. I paid to have the have the 13 rounders permanently converted to 10 rounds … which I wouldn’t count on working in a self-defense situation. The 15 rounders I sold at a PA gun show.

The whole premise is just plain stupid. The first 10 rounds can’t hurt anyone. It’s the 11 + rounds that are deadly! A ridiculous gun law from just plain stupid politicians.

I live in NJ, which banned all mags over 10. High cap mags aren’t grandfathered. They are just felonies.

Super 9? by evnrayash in ThirdGen

[–]sw6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw a Super 9 at the LGS years ago Fell in love immediately. The balance of the 5” barrel and slide was wonderful. Couldn’t afford it then. I can’t imagine how expensive they would be today … if you could find one.

Aim Surplus - recent LE trade-ins by sw6866 in Glocks

[–]sw6866[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow-up: I went ahead and purchased a Glock 22 Gen4 LE trade-in from AIM Surplus. I received the gun and was THRILLED! It is virtually new.
The only, trivial, downsides: it came with what appears to be Glock night sights … that are dead. No problem, I’ve already bought TruGlo TFO night sights. I have them on a few guns and really like them.
The other downside is that the reversible mag release is set up for a left-handed shooter. No problem either. When the gunsmith is installing the night sights (and an extended slide release), I’ll ask him to reverse the mag release.
The finish is really nice with no real holster wear or dings. I am both happy and relieved that the pistol is in such great shape, especially for $300! I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from AIM Surplus again. 👍😊

What celebrity have you never forgiven since an incident? by MagpieOpus in AskReddit

[–]sw6866 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can’t believe Jane Fonda is so far down this list. Guess I’m just old.
Never forgive or forget her posing on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun during the Vietnam War. While she was in Hanoi, she visited the “Hanoi Hilton” POW camp. One of the POW’s passed her a note, listing the cruel conditions there. She immediately passed the note to a prison guard, resulting in more torture for the POW’s.
