Jack... I think it is a K 22. The target rear sight n the gold dot front sight should identify it. A genuine " Coon Hunter's Special "... I like it ..! leroy...

I've went to using a roll or front bag when I shoot off the bench. I generally use 2 of the " pillow bags, one ( if I need it under the stock at the heel and the other between the shoulder n butt. It works well prone too ( if I could just get up from being prone...HEHEHE..). I like the " pillow bag " cushion better than the elastomer pads. It seems like they cushion the recoil a bit better . leroy....

If I'm shooting a hard kicker ( 30 naught six n up ) from the bench or prone I'll use a sissy bag. There are several guys that make em. I've got a couple that are about 9 by 6 by 2 inches thick. East ta carry n help alot with shooting from a rest . I never liked the padded ones that go on your shoulder. Example here. https://lafayetteshooters.com/protektor-model-small-pillow-bag/ leroy

What Ed says here is a great truth, for me at least. I do lots better covertly carrying a single stack than I do a double. I value the thin profile of most any pistola for concealed carry than the extra firepower of the doubles. Even my CR 920 stack and a half is a tad too wide. I have ta carry the double attacks OWB or in the hip pocket of my Carhartts... leroy.

It just dawned on me.... I like the son's SW M&P EZ 380. They are an internal hammer pistola. The downside is that they are a bit large. About like a Walther PP. They will pocket carry if your pockets are big enough. I've got his brother in 9 mm. I like him a lot. leroy.

Ed . Rebounding, inertial, " floating " ... All the same thing. The pin is shorter than the channel it's in between the hammer surface and the cartridge. When the hammer hits the pin, it drives it forward thru the channel and " kaboom " ALA the good ole 1911 and Lotsa old double barrel shotguns. I'ma thinkin the " floating " monaker is from the shotgun guys. leroy.

YESSS..!!! Thank you .. Thank you... thankful leroy...

As I said... " Your mileage may vary "... Carry what ya like. Believe what ya like. Give advice as ya like, but don't expect everyone to agree with ya. The original poster asked what we thought RE: 1911 carry. He has a wide spectrum of replies. leroy

Can't buy this one. My SR1911 has a titanium firing pin. Drop, no kaboom. The 1911 has a rebounding firing pin. It takes a heavy strike ( like the hammer falling ) to set em off. Eighty series..... Firing pin block. A solution for a miniscule problem. I think the " drop safe " thing is a a once in a blue moon thing. It panders to the novice gun handlers. The first rule of using firearms other than not pointing em at anything ya don't want ta shoot is to keep em in your firm possession at all times at all costs. Remember; the 1911 was designed as a calvary pistol. Troopers used the 1911 effectively astride galloping horses--- one handed no less... No " modern " pistol has surpassed the trigger on the 1911. Your mileage may vary. leroy.

It just dawned on me... Watch a place called Cherry's Fine Guns, Greensboro, NC. We've bought some stuff from em over the years . They are fair and reputable. Ya can Google em very easily. leroy.

I understand and agree, but I'ma thinkin ya will never be able to squeeze em hard enough to get the truth unless deals are made. I don't like deals because they tend to distort the " real truth ".... SIGH . I'ma thinkin the truth will be locked up until all the principals are moldin in the grave. leroy...

The " Sanctuary City " thing is nothin more than an attempt at voter replacement ALA what ya see with the Muslim population in Britain now. Fourty seven percent of public housing in London is said to be foreign. Biden embraced the " citizen replacement " concept completely, and did more to advance it than any president before him. The problem with this idea is that it increases the size of cities that are already under democrat control in states, for the most part, that are blue already. At this juncture, the " sanctuary city " thing ain't working out, because the DJT n company are stepping up ICE enforcement in these places. LA is " ground zero " for this foolishness as is New York and other blue strongholds. That's why there are " sanctuary cities " and that's why the DJT is going after em. leroy

sale-or-trade Price Drop! 1981 Ruger No 1 375H&H

I'm with Greg here...! Beautiful rifle, beautiful wood. I've got his brother in 458 Win Mag. The pictures don't do these justice. They are the " best of the best " of this round of Ruger production. They are, in fact, heirloom production. admirin leroy.. -
The sad truth is that the construction industry is mostly filled with immigrant labor. Some, I'm sure, have work visas. Others simply don't. As others have opined, as long as employers hire these folks, they will find ways to come; both legal and illegal. I noticed that yesterday DJT allegedly ordered ICE to ease up on farm, meat packing, and " hospitality services " raids. It's gonna be interesting to see how this really plays out . I'm a bit conflicted about this stuff because I know some immigrant folks that are law abiding, hard working folks minding their own business; they are the ones that work two jobs n send money home. I'm all for them. As to the " on the dole ", LA Raza, and thug crowd, they need to go... Sorting em out without collateral damage is, indeed, a big problem. letoy

I'll add to the SIG 238 cheerleading . I carry one Lotsa times in summer for " mundane " trips. Remember, the locked breech guns will handle heavier loads. The blow backs need factory ammo. I handloaded some plus p 380 before the 380 ammo selection got to where it is today. I also love the Kahr 380s. Would like to find a " lovingly cared for lightly used one " -- SIGH -- so far, no luck. leroy.

Thanks Wes..! I enjoyed meeting ya Brother... Again, thanks for everything. leroy -
Papa... I now carry " cocked n locked too " SIGH... The brutal Re-education has worked. I heartily agree about the ambi safety... When ya look at the design, they can give trouble from what ya said, and are a source of mechanical failure. The beaver tail and Rowell hammer thing has forced me to use an " off hand " draw, but it works well enough. leroy
-
Will.... In the old days before the " cocked n locked " dogma became gospel, us lefties carried our Gubt models on the half cock with a spur hamner. Ya cocked on the draw ALA the old Single Action Army. It worked very well, as the 1911 has a rebounding firing pin. Now they send you to the " Re-education Camp " run by brutal Soviet style 1911 apartachiks for doin such things. Remember, the 1911 was a calvary sidearm. They put the safety on when the shootin wuz over.... HEHEHE. re-educated leroy with a beaver tail and a rowell hammer ( SIGH )... Re-educated in 1911 gospel.
