Right or wrong, I make a copy of the original (copy) and keep them in my range bag. I also carry my FID when going to any range. The original copies I keep in a secure/fire file cabinet.

Well it is DC, wich is for the most part immune from the US Constitution.

Really? You never said the plege of allgence when you were in the military. And im sure you were not in WW2. Unless your about 90yrs old.

All the men and women who fought our wars and died to protect people like this used the words "Under God", "Honor", "Duty". How about "Go fugg Yourself!!"

Couple this with the Tennesse Nurse case to bring national attention, and something will have to give.

My wife just purcahsed her first handgun. She went with the Glock 19 Gen4 9mm (bought from RTSP). After trying my 22lr, 9mm's, 40's, 45, and 38special/357 revolvers, she went with the 9mm autoloader. She didn't like the heft of the Full Size pistols, or the steel frames. The compact fit her hand much better, and it has a much better weight balance to it. She thought the 22lr was nice to shoot, but for SD purposes it was a little light. The 40 was a little snappy, and the revolvers just eh. 9mm compact turned out to be the best all around weapon for her.

SInce they have opened, I have purchased 3 pistols from them. Their prices are right in there with some of the best internet deals. I use budsgunshop . com as a reference for the best prices. They are a pleasure to deal with. Although lately they seem a little overwhelemed with all the business they are getting. Guess they will be hiring more staff soon. Good for them.

Here is a fantastic review on the S&W Model 60 - 3", full grip http://www.thetrutha...agnum-take-two/

Model 60 3" = 3 finger grip Model 642 1 7/8" = 2 finger grip Point was, handling a 2 finger grip j frame is different from handling a 3 finger grip j frame. And a solid steel j frame is much differnt shooting wise than an alloy frame j. I think you just misinterpreted what I was trying to convey.

Let me jump back in here and just say that the model 60 is a little different from the snub j frame. The model 60 has a full grip as opposed to a 2 finger grip of the snubbie and the frame is full steel as opposed to aluminium or titanium. Has a 3" barrel opposed to a 1 7/8. It is much heavier and will not kick like the j frame snubbie. It is much more comfortable to shoot. The frame and trigger reach is 2/3rds that of the 686.

You mentioned your spouse has a 686. The S&W model 60 is exactly 2/3rds the size of the 686 and shoots 357 or 38. http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product4_750001_750051_765498_-1_757768_757767_757751_ProductDisplayErrorView_Y

Your right, i shouldnt have deleted that. Fixed.

Mashed potatoes and dog-crap. That is an awesome analogy. Abnormaly stout recoil? Ever shoot a airweigh J-frame or a full power 357 magnum? They developed a Gen4 with a dual Recoil Spring Assembly for those with sissy wrists. Sights. They can be changed. Actually you will find more sight options for the Glock than any other pistol on the market. Now I know why Gun For Hire stopped sponsoring this site. Funny thing is, I used to hate Glocks too. Then I realized I only hated Glocks because I couldn't find anything better.

Yeah, its a different animal. But awesome notheless. Beretta makes a Type C PX4 that is basically a Type D that is half cocked. That is fairy unique an awesome too.

Because the D model has an awesome looking smooth side slide (no levers).

Beretta 92. But not the D model. I would opt for the commercial M9. Just because it's says "US M9" on the slide and because it has that ever so sexy straight dust cover. Although you could find a D model with the straight dust cover.

I said "one" of the best pistol designs ever, not the best ever. Outdated? Please tell me how you feel about the 1911 design. Glock set the standard for a modern combat pistol design when it was introduced, and it still holds true today. All these new polymer pistols on the market have one thing in common, they all try to duplicate the Glock. Albeit they add some bells and whistles, like a grip mounted safety, or a way to strip without pulling the trigger, or a different grip angle, reversed rails, etc. So much so, that stubborn, thick headed, no vision, it's got to be a hammer fired DA/SA or nothing Beretta even came out with a polymer striker fired pistol. I am actually suprised there are no patent infrigment suits filed. But in the end, Glock got the design right the first time (just like Porsche) and there is no real need to change it's basic mechanics, it might not be perfect but it is better than most. And it's the pistol that every modern pistol todayis is judged againts. On another note. I always hear complaints about the grip angle. It seems this is the only real argument anyone can ever come up with to trash the Glock. Do you really think that no thought or research went into the grip angle on such a well engineered piece of machinery. Gaston was no dummy. Here is a little excersie to do at home: Stand with arm straight out in front of you, eye height (as if you were aiming your sights) and extend your pointer finger out and level it. What angle is your hand in at this point? Look familiar?

Well dont discourage other people from one of the greatest pistols designs ever just because of your bad experience with their customer service. Whether you think its all kool-aid or not, it is probably the the best value on the market, and the sales statistics speak for themselves. It's the only guns I see selling out as fast as they come in. There is good reason for that, people aren't stupid.

Congrats and good luck with it. You bought the only pistol you will ever "need" the first time. I love my 23.

Sounds a little excessive. I keep 3 for each autoloader and 2 speedloaders for each revolver.

I have a love hate relationship with my Glock 19 Gen4 also. I love it because it is the perfect 9mm. I hate it because it is the perfect 9mm. And now I have no excuse to buy another 9mm.

That explains why I couldn't figure out what Rem 870 it was.....

Now we know why the RO at the BH was yelling at him.

Nice guns and pictures. Congrats. Trying to figure out that Remington 870 you have. First that's a Remy right? Second what is the barrel length and capacity?

They are magazines...........not clips..... :thsmiley_deadhorse:
