Anyone have one one? This would be the brass drift or the interchangeable tip brass and nylon/delrin drift that snugly fits into a sight dovetail so that you can drive out/in a sight. Unfortunately, mine has grown legs and walked off, and I need to change out a set of sights on a carry pistol of mine before I leave for Texas early next week. I cannot get a replacement shipped to me any sooner than the 3rd, and I don't want to mar the finish on the new sights by driving them with a punch. Am really hoping to do the swap by Monday so I can spend time at the range zeroing them. Given the custom serrations on my slide, a pusher won't work. Anyone who might be able to help, let me know.

I don't mind the dirt on the gun, it's breathing in that crap!

+1 x 2! And, gasp, you could have run all 5,000 rds without a cleaning on that WG! There's a reason that they once earned that reputation of to hell and back...

Buy one, you'll never part with it! Any of mine eat whatever you throw at it. A 2.5-7x28 makes one even more fun! Run an old R7 on my favorite 10/22.

The classic Germans ARE that much better in many cases, but you obviously do not want one, which is OK. Get what you want, versus Frankensteining to get something like you want that really only retains the place of manufacture on the slide. I agree with Shane to an extent in that the style of mass production in NH is decreasing quality, but I have not seen more new classic P series fail (i.e., 226s, 229s, 220s) over older manufacture and I see several hundred used in qualifications each year but I'm not everywhere and they pump out plenty of turkeys too (also not new to ANY era of ANY gun manufacture - lol). Now, if you want to ditch SRT and E2, I would instantly tell you to pick up an older manufacture (well, skip the mud rails) over new. If you would consider poly frame, pick yourself up an imported SigPro 2022 (can change grips to suit, the FCUs have excellent triggers, great sights, and I can repeat the accuracy with my 9mm version all day long strong or off-hand, which most other owners (even Bruce Gray) report).

Not all of us engineers are limited to book smarts fellas... Sure, I have the pedigree from a few fine academic institutions, BUT I worked in the family construction business, sawmill, machine shop, and also built and raced everything with wheels! Many classic engineers are like me, and while I hear you techs you don't factor in the changes that occur downstream of the original design that result in design revisions. Once upon a time, engineers designed for indefinite life - I could give you many examples right in the Delaware Valley - however, we now design everything with a finite design life. For the record, I manage an engineering staff of 37 currently in my division that span from licensed professional engineers through trained technicians. I will absolutely guarantee you that there is nothing one of my technicians know that I do not or any of my design engineers, and no matter who discovers an issue, better way, gotcha - it is shared among the ranks. Difference is, I do not work in the realm of mass-produced at cheapest cost for most profit items where if you understand the process of how the end product is ultimately derived, you really wouldn't be blaming the engineers...

As a Sig guy - both shooter and collector, I would not make the majority of modifications you indicate on an older German (depending date, you simply cannot). If those are the features you require, then you are really looking at new production.

Don't say where in NJ, but there's a couple places that rent the small guns in NJ and PA. Old Dog, that owner is a relic of the past as many major ranges rent the small ones these days because they are like hotcakes given the abundance of female owners now! Heck, just about EVERY range in Houston has at least a half-dozen subcompacts as rentals, and I bring Houston up because their history suggests last of the converts! LOL! Anyway, the P938 is a pumped version of the P238, which are both Colt Mustang clones. The issue with the trigger on these is that it's an usual geometry being it's a top pivot. Significant improvement is made by installing a stainless steel, machined trigger in the P938/P238 and a replacement spring from Wolf and ditching the factory plastic trigger. $50 upgrade completed in about 20 minutes and makes tremendous improvements - I have mine down to a very nice 5.6# pull. Also, the sights, by far, are superior on either of the little SAO Sigs. I would also say either the P938 or P238 are at the threshold of pocket carry size, but are heavy. I carry either in a between the belt holster (keeps them tight to my hip for easy concealment, and often wallet carry my P238 when nothing else can be carried. It's the SAO that's the general deterrent to many for the little Sigs. Personally, carrying Condition 1 is no big deal to me as I'm also a 1911 guy. However, it's not for everyone, and I don't even when wallet carrying. I can also comment on the Shield. This is not a pocket gun! However, it is a fantastic CCW choice and conceals well in a good in the waistband holster. Factory sights are meh - they work, but not great for fast acquisition. Given it's a close range, SD carry for me I don't care because I'd be working with natural point of aim if I'm in a position where I have to use it. IMO, there's still not a slam-dunk 9mm pistol for pocket carry in pants/shorts (excluding cargo pockets). However, there are a couple places renting the Kahr models and Kel-Tecs too in addition to the Sig 938, Shield, and Walther PPS. Unfortunately, not one-stop to try all that I know of.

I agree a 640 is intimidating to many females, and definitely not one I'd recommend for first exposure! I will tell you a good compromise would be a Ruger SP101 in .357 with a 3" barrel. Size is roughly comparable to a J, but the build heavier and soaks recoil more than a J. While the 3" barrel is short for good target practice, it's acceptable and definitely fine when training at distances appropriate for SD/HD. Run .38Spl for training and load with the magnums for SD. The ABSOLUTE best grip for the SP101 is the Crimson Trace lasergrip! Your wife would approve!

Welcome to the Kobra club! Surprised you find the trigger better than the VBOB (I too have both, actually a few Kobras), but not so much against the Wilson! However, the trigger can be made exceptionally clean and break at practically whatever you want easily.

I personally would carry that pistol IWB, and I would recommend a Nate Squared Tactical professional holster! They are very comfortable, and believe me, I have a LOT of traditional gunleather and kydex since I lived previously in a Free State and carried every day with a number of firearms in my rotation over many years! With that particular pistol and a Nate Squared IWB, a nice high quality leather belt will be fine since you'll have the benefit of friction. I'm currently carrying a Shield 9 in a Nate Squared original, and it just might be my must comfortable IWB carry combination ever but mention because the size is fairly comparable to the XD. www.n82tactical.com

He's not CeaseFireNJ anymore since he moved to PA. He's Director of Heeding God's Call these days...

Who is going? www.dayofresistance.com Edgewater Park is the location for Jersey. Hope many can go! I'm teaching a Basic Pistol class and unable to attend.

I saw the other day that the mods wanna keep the forum post clear of foul language so it's therefore impossible for me to describe what I think of this goon.

HA-HA! Sure is! The last official count I heard was 68 of us and 16 of them, and that was before a few more joined us including the passerby that stopped and was looking how to get more involved! Had to love the support from the big rig from Texas!

Well, since the Assembly thought they did yesterday - a soapbox display of the Million Moms petition gathered over 3 months - it won't hurt them if we can drown them with paper to the contrary! I signed. Legislators seem to have funny math skills, or I learned math all wrong even as an engineer because no-one can really show me the overwhelming numbers ANYWHERE supporting the anti side. NOWHERE! Just got in from supporting Congressman Runyan this afternoon against the anti protext from MoveOn. They had 16 people, we had 68 at the last count I heard but known we had a few more walk-ons including a fellow who saw us out there and wanted more information on how to join in the defense!

If Troopers have time to look into 1K purchases, something is seriously wrong with this State and you are keeping law enforcement from really doing its job!

I've been saying for a couple weeks, don't hold much hope in Sweeney with the possible exception of him killing the few Bills that run afoul of existing laws. I live in Sweeney's District and have been on him since this started. Responses to my correspondence to him are in no way positive or even encouraging, and he's refused to meet with me to discuss the issues or specific Bills.

I cannot believe this is what my tax dollars fund... I want my hard-earned money back!

I'm bad to ask this because I really like the SP2022 and have all three calibers it's been produced in (9mm, .40S&W, and .357Sig). It was designed for the 9mm round, and I can attest that mine in 9mm is the most accurate shooter I've ever bought straight out of the box!

Of the legislatures I've cornered and in favor tell me "the people want this" but cannot point those people out and get annoyed when I ask them since 1) only a couple dozen showed up at the anti rally; 2) they have not been out in any kind of numbers at the SAFE meetings; and, 3) they didn't come out on the 13th! I asked each one are they overwhelming with calls, faxes, letters and email? I apparantly soured one legislature who was already firmly anti enough for them to blurt out "no, they're not but it's what they want!" Oh, really?

Not a 39XX Tact. Looks like a 5906.

I can tell you that the way the SBI database is maintained, that is certainly something that could be queried, but I don't know that they would put the manpower on such request since you are talking 1 million holder across how many towns in this State? I am certain they would do a sort for some specific towns/cities/boroughs, or you just might flat-out get a response of that level of detail begins to infringe upon holder privacy. The more specific your OPRA request, the better.

BASED UPON WHAT??? I LIVE in District 3, and I've gotten a response from Sweeney, and I can tell you that it is most certainly NOT pro-gun! It was more or less: thanks for your thoughts but guns do bad things and I'm not available to meet with you...

Instinctively, I am not inclined to trust Mainor now. However, there are ~20 more Gun Control Bills that are in queue to head through the Assembly Law and Public Safety Committee, and some of those are pretty damn onerous as intentioned and certainly as written... Frankly, I don't know what the best strategy is with him, but I do know there is need to reach out to all of those that will be voting on the Bills on the Floor this Thursday. Also take note that not everyone on the Committee voted in favor of the Bills Wednesday - Kean, Peterson, and Albano could maybe be swayed to oppose more than the couple good ones he did. The one that puzzles me is Republican McGuckin with choosing not to vote any of the Bills. For the Bills at hand, I say expend the energy on your District Assembly members and working to sway them, especially because the performance from last Wednesday has not gone over well with many in the Assembly...
