      Anyone ever actually fire the TTI Pit Viper?

      Pretty sure I just added this one to my wishlist after watching Rogan shoot one on Youtube just now. It's 8 grand so I doubt very many people even own one. Pretty amazing handgun though from the looks of it.

      Proper way to spray paint rubber grips on a small .38 Special?

      Yep, I finished off my bottle of black Rit trying to dye this gun before I turned to the paint. Good lesson learned there - Rit Does Not stick to rubber... not even a little bit. Had the grips sitting in piping hot Rit dye for about 2 hours, periodically stirring and all, pulled them out w/...

      Proper way to spray paint rubber grips on a small .38 Special?

      Yep I thought about the "who's gonna see it anyway" part and that's when I realized I'm doing it just for me. I just can't do a pink gun. And even the engraving and all on it is feminine looking (script) so it just adds to it. Now queue up the tough guys - "A real man wouldn't care what color...

      Yeah I don't think there's a such thing as one w/ a safety lol. I didn't mean to imply some have them. I just didn't realize that would be a sticking point for her. She somehow believes it could just "go off" in her purse and blast some poor fool's knee cap off or something. But to answer...

      Proper way to spray paint rubber grips on a small .38 Special?

      I'm sure spray painting isn't the best option but I'm on a bit of a budget at the moment and already have some Krylon flat black lying around. Ntm, I may never even carry this one. Just kind of a backup of a backup. I had bought this little .38 snub nose for the girl I'm seeing b/c she works...

      Can I use .38 Special ammo in a S&W snub nose .38?

      I think this should be sufficient to tell if the pictured ammo should work. From what I can tell, it looks like a match.

      Can I use .38 Special ammo in a S&W snub nose .38?

      Thank you. Exactly what I needed. I'll check when I get home from work to verify. I was just trying to cut a corner here because I live in a small town with only a Walmart and evidently Walmart doesn't sell actual handgun ammo anymore. So I figured I'd try some old 38 Special ammo. I'll just...

      Can I use .38 Special ammo in a S&W snub nose .38?

      Good idea. Should've done that to begin with but didn't even think about it. I'm not at the house right now with it but I'm pretty sure the barrel stamp says 38 S&W

      Can I use .38 Special ammo in a S&W snub nose .38?

      Not that it's any of your gd business but obviously I wouldn't buy a gun for a person that can't have guns and then advertise it online. The one from the post you're quoting lasted about a week and a half. But thanks for the completely relevant comment.

      Can I use .38 Special ammo in a S&W snub nose .38?

      Got my girl the little pink snub nose .38 and I already have some .38 Special rounds. Will these work? Thanks

      Lmao bro I so hear that but she's honestly a 9.5. She could be a lot of things and I'd have a hard time leaving tbh.

      Pros and cons of a 1911 for a 1911 noob?

      I'm guessing the trigger can be changed out right?

      Pros and cons of a 1911 for a 1911 noob?

      And from the looks of the size, probably no shot at concealing except in winter I'd guess.....?

      Pros and cons of a 1911 for a 1911 noob?

      I figure pretty much everybody here knows more than I do about handguns. I've only owned a cheap Hi Point 9 and a Glock 9. But something about a 1911 is attractive to me. I've literally never even held one. What would you say are the good and bad points or if it's even advisable to buy one...
