"in the Lord's caliber." Very appropriate, ha.

Well, you could try Rafael Eledge, down at Shiloh Relics in Savannah, TN. Here's his website: Shiloh Civil War Relics Contact

But until such time as it falls into the abyss......... you can rest assured that it will remain in cyberspace for all eternity and until our Sun goes supernova and the earth is reduced to a burned out cinder!!!! Comforting, isn't it..........

What Leroy said..............

Was just sitting here and had Channel 4 news outta Nashville a little while ago and they had another report on this pistol going off without the trigger being depressed. Examples were from both civilians as well as law enforcement. They said that there are over 100 documented examples nationwide of this happening. They (Sig) are denying it is possible, but I have to believe that some kind of action should take place.

That's a helluva story, buddy. No doubt the gun you were carrying was your salvation. I live out in the country on a horse farm but the same thing could happen anywhere. You sure were lucky and I don't doubt that you now carry even at home. Great lesson to be learned. Oh, and I am late sixties and I never was taught not to call 911.

Grip on a 10mm is everything. I have large hands but still like to add Talon grip wraps on mine. They make a version that is like a very light sandpaper and it is wonderful for 10mm to lock that grip into your hand. No slippage whatsoever.

Wow..... amazing story and experiences. You are better than google on this subject........... Glad you have had success with the surgeries and Amen to the comment on the PT. Also apologies to OP...... will shut up now.

Oh man, what a tough injury a rotator cuff can be. I tore a portion of my left shoulder playing football and I;m now in my late sixties and still suffer from it. Not to hijack the thread, but how detailed was the surgery and how tough has the therapy been, if I may ask??

The original "get off me" gun......

What a classic the old 60 is..... It was my first rifle. Actually, my dad bought it back in the sixties and I inherited it. My son has it now. It was before they started putting serial numbers on them. I believe that started in '68.

Well, it is good to be you...... congratulations. Only absolute is don't rush shooting that thing with the replacement. Joint replacement works out pretty well IF YOU FOLLOW the rules of rehab.................

We lived way out in the sticks and there was no "neighborhood" per se but at that age I had a sling shot that dad made from a fork in a dogwood branch and some innertube strips. I was as proud of that thing as I would have been if it was a bazooka. I roamed the woods pretending to be Davy Crockett......

30 years ago I bought a SKS in great condition for $99. And a Mosin for not much more than that. I guess I can just reflect back on the "good ole days."

I've been married to a redhead for 40 years. So, I would understand his analogy even if written in ancient Hittite cuneiform...

Never fired a Canik, but I have to agree with the Ruger SP101 choice.

I am about the furthest thing from a Glock "fanboy" as you will ever find. I do own two but that's all. A model 19 and a model 20 which is in 10 mm. Yes, it has big grips, but I have big hands. I did put a Talon grip wrap which gives a sandpaper type grip so it is locked in hand regardless of recoil or sweat. I also have a Trijicon RMS on slide. I gotta say that it has sure done a good job. These pictures were taken prior to the Talon grips being put on.

By "scratched up" you mean a lot of scroll engraving?? Right?

That video was very informative. Thanks for pointing it out, Deerslayer.

Was it from the texture of the grip or the shape of the bottom of the mag??

Very few problems in life that "buying more guns" won't solve..... I think Socrates or Plato said that.....

While my primary AR is the Daniel Defense DDM4 V7, I have to agree with all that River02 says here. I too replaced the trigger with the Gieselle SSA-E trigger and also have an ACOG scope installed, but it is just absolutely flawless. I have not put as many rounds as River has through his, but I have put a lot and never one, single failure. I have fed quality ammo through it and I have fed crap, too. It eats it all. Again, this is not to sell a "brand" but these things are just as solid as a rock in their makeup, construction and performance.

Don't get me wrong, but I think "picking up three" in one day puts you in the category of a big revolver guy.

I agree with Ken on this.............

That was an interesting little tour. Thanks for posting.
