P238 Upgrade This is the first thing I found when I googled to find out what a p238 was. It is a great example of why I don't like safeties.

Not in New York, where the robbery took place.

If I'd have wanted a warranty, I'd have bought a Hi-Point.

The "one that got away". The elusive 10-22 Magnum! One of our fellow TGO members is enjoying it now.

More crimp.

We feel your pain.

Then you missed the days of the free shipping with every order. I got pizzed off a bit when they quit that. But honestly, I understand.

No. I don't think so. Why would this be important in a pocket pistol?

Midway has been 100% wonderful in the twenty plus years I've purchased from them. What happened?

Post some good pictures on here and we'll see what we can do.

Why? Thin barrel walls?

I'm sure this topic has been discussed ad nausium in the past, but I wanted to start the discussion again. A while back, I fired a Kel Tec, and I really disliked it. It seemed difficult to hold on to, and recoil felt pretty brisk. It did, however, function as it should and I was surprised to learn that I could actually hit what I was aiming at. Fast forward to today. I fired a Ruger LCP. Although I haven't had an opportunity to fire them side by side yet, the Ruger seemed to me to be easier to hold on to, and recoil felt far less severe. As it was new, I had one failure to feed about halfway through the first clip. After that, all was well. I also discovered that it was far more accurate than I ever would have dreamed. My conclusion is that although the two pistols look nearly identical, I much prefer the Ruger. I intend to fire both of them in one session sometime to make sure my memory hasn't obscured the facts. Those of you who have fired both, I'd love to know your opinions.

Yes. You can shoot slugs through a shotgun barrel. Most newer slug barrels are equipped with rifle sights, rifled barrels, and several also feature some means for mounting a scope. A shotgun barrel is smooth, and doesn't lend ittself to the fine accuracy that a rifled barrel does. Shotgun slugs were sold long before a slug specific barrel was available. Some slugs were designed to make themselves spin without the help of rifling. The only limiting factor I'm aware of for your Mossberg is how long the chamber is in relation to the shell. If your's is a 3" chamber, it won't chamber and fire 3 1/2" shells.

If that thing is right, and I don't know how to tell, I'm guessing somewhere north of 2 grand.

It ain't a contest!!! Show em.

IMR powders and Sierra bullets.

I'd strongly suggest you keep the Colt, save up and buy the Smith. If that's outta the question. I'd suggest you sell the Colt, and purchase a used model 29-2 or earlier. You won't be sorry when you see the crafstmanship and quality. I wouldn't want a new one with a lock on it.

BLAZING SADDLES!!!

Thanks for the link. My oldest son is wanting to make a hunting knife. I wouldn't mind making one as well. Looks like we'll be spending some money there soon.

Antlers and Feathers in Lafayette is a pretty good small town gun store. Go on in and tell Brent that Greg said to give you a deal. My least favorite would be most any of the big box stores such as Wal Mart, Dicks, Academy Sports, etc. They all sell low end stuff. They do usually have good prices, but never a good selection and pitiful customer service. The Wal Mart in Lafayette is the only big box store I can remember who have someone working at the gun counter that has a knowledge of guns. Most of the rest I've talked to I doubt have ever fired one.

A good gun belt consists of two layers of leather glued and sewn together. Some makers offer an additional layer of kydex or other stiff material sandwiches in between. Depending on how you want the belt to look, in addition to the additional stitching and edge burnishing, it also requires more stamping, tooling, carving, etc. I can probably make two holsters in the time it takes to make a belt.

The building is a dump, but it is owned and operated by fine people, and the food is worth walking to Scottsville for!
