IWB carry, in vehicle question
FOBUS I failed to mention that I carry the holster in the car then move it from my carry holster to the Fibus while driving. -

IWB carry, in vehicle question
I find that a Fobus holster is a viable option for in car carry for easy access. The holsters are inexpensive Kydex (specific to your firearm) and can either be clipped to the seatbelt or on the accessory floor mounting post. The holsters are under $30 if I recall and they are very rugged. -

Round count on firearms?
I have a number of pistols that I use in classes. A KelTec PF9 with 8100, a SIG P220 (AKA Browning BDA) 38 SUPER with 23000 when I stopped keeping records on it. The highest count I have on a revolver is a Ruger Security Six with between 11 and 12,000. All still serviceable and as accurate as... -

Done with Keltec never ever again.
I use a PF9 in a training environment and the one currently in use has 4600+ rounds through it, mostly the least expensive for punching holes in paper. After 2 months use it went to Kel-Tec for a trigger problem when the design was new. It was returned within 12 days with a NEW lower rather than... -

Revolver barrel porting
My wife has a J frame 642 that was ported from the factory. The effects are noticeable especially with heavy bullet +P loads and makes it more comfortable for practice sessions with snappy loads. -

European Heel Magazine Release
I have a 380 old original and a 38 Super back-up which I believe was one of the last AMT produced one. I have been blessed with NO functional issues although there was a mfg problem with 2 mags, and those were repaired quickly. They are VERY HEAVY, but also VERY TOUGH. They hold up under rough... -

European Heel Magazine Release
The older AMT's with the squared trigger guards are OK. I have one that has over 5000 rounds through it with no problems. It is quite small, just heavy. -

Info/what are they worth (Revolvers, semi auto .22)
Answers are right on EXCEPT the Liberty Chief by Miroku (Japan). This is a high quality clone of a Colt and is a fine handgun. Little to no collector interest, but never the less a excellent gun from the mid-60's. Let me know if you want to sell it. -

Battle of the Snubbies: Colt vs. S&W
Frank Genusa (Money Matters, Denham Springs) does great work and is very reasonable. He rebarrelled an Agent and a Detective Spec. for me and provided the smoothest actions imaginable. The only problem with keeping the old colts running is the difficulty in finding parts. -

Battle of the Snubbies: Colt vs. S&W
I have two custom colt snubbies with 3" bbl. The actions are a thing or pure pleasure to shoot, but keeping them running requires a good parts supply. -

Pistol of choice.
SIG P220 in 38 Super but it actually says BROWNING BDA on it. 3 of them, one with 51000 rds. downrange. It is as accurate as my Bar-Sto bbld commander and far easier to shoot. -

Dan Wesson .357 value
I have the full set, Model 15 HV, along with a complete set of internal parts from the factory all in the original case. I have turned down several offers as I do not want to sell it, but I have one friend who is persistent with an offer of $900. I suspect it would take that to get all the... -

You will never guess what a professor of mine just said about .38 spl
Unfortunately many folks in our society are educated beyond their intelligence. You see it often in education, politics and law. -

Refinish advise - what say you guys?
I have several P220's that have been refinished with Tuff Gun My P220's are OLD ( 1977 vintage) and have Browning on them (they were the importer at the time) That had extensive use after I got them, particularly the 38 SUPER. I had the slides done in Tuff Gun, a moly disulfide product that is... -

Sight upgrade for a Ruger Security Six
XS makes a big dot specifically for the J frame that fits over the existing front site. From looking at my J frames and the old security sixes I believe that the front blade is thicker than the J frame. I suspect you could mill it to the correct thickness and use the J frame XS. I have a 3" J... -

So who loves the Sig P220 as much as I do??
I have 2 P220's one 45 and the other 38 Super, and they are so old they have BROWNING on them as in BDA. They have 48 and 61 thousand rounds respectively. They still shoot as well as ever and I prefer the heel release on the mag to the "American" style. I foolishly let the other 3 of them get... -

Star Model 30...what say ye??
SARCO has the remaining inventory of STAR parts in the U.S. If you write them with your needs you may be surprised what is available. I was able to assemble a complete parts and spring set for my PD and for my sons ultra star and my Firestar 40. -

New to me Colt agent.
One of the best pocket guns ever!! I have been carrying an agent for many years. I had it rebarrelled with a 3", a shroud over the hammer , Sile skip checkered grips and a tyler Tee Grip. It has digested better than 10000 rounds, some +P but most just for range use as I use it as a teaching... -

Just bought 1st handgun for future concealed carry use
PF9 I have 3 of these, one to carry and 2 for student use in classes. All have more than 5000 rounds through them and are very dependable. I have had a number of students, male and female who did well with them and now carry them. My carry method is in a pocket holster from Pocket Concealment...
