It won't let me upload -- I already have a picture of this knife here http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=16212 Go to item 18 -- it shows my Colt Officers Model Target .22 revolver with a holster I made for it, and my Rackensack Squirrel Hunter and sheath.

Biggest handgun disappointment....
Published (2009-11-26 01:43:00)
Quote: Self loaders. 1911's in particular. Reliabilty, terminal performance with ball type ammo, ergonimics. All of these things in comparison to Smith DA and Ruger SA revolvers in 357 mag, 44 mag, and 45 Colt cals. I've been fortunate with my 1911. It is reliable with all loads I've run through except for 230 grain CCI Blazers and one particular home brew I tried. But like you, I still prefer S&W and Ruger wheel guns....

Taurus PT92
Published (2009-11-26 23:50:00)
they are an excellent buy Beretta had a military contract in Brazil that mandated that they build them in-country...when the contract ended, Beretta sold the factory to Taurus. so the PT92 was built on Beretta machinery for the original 92...they just changed the mag rerlease from the butt to behind the trigger guard. depending on the age, you might be able to use Beretta mags

Quote: Here's the problem: Most people shoot handguns poorly. At best, they are mediocre. Yet all those gunowners THINK they can shoot not only well, but very well. (just as everyone thinks they are "fast"...) This is why I like to teach women and kids to shoot. They listen to you and try to do what you tell them. Just Sunday I had a young boy shoot a 3 inch S&W J Frame for the first time. He has been shooting...

Most accurate handgun...

Is this "Show and tell?" I suspect this engraved Colt Officers Match is more accurate than I can hold and aim. Wonder what causes me to have such a suspicion?

Another recommendation to the OP - don't concern yourself too much...

Front Sight Aiming Technique
Published (2009-11-24 21:28:00)
Briefly put, at self defense ranges you take a quick, rough alignment of the sight picture on the target, focusing mostly on the front sight.

My friend just got one this week. I think ergonomically it's great but the trigger is horrible (in comparison to a glock and xd trigger....i've got an xd and he sold his glock, didn't like the grip angle, to buy the m&p). Uneven pull and a "where is it" reset point make it bad. When letting off the trigger it'll feel like it's reset halfway through but it really didn't and you have to keep ...

I went with the Ruger because I want it to fire when I need it to.

I like my Taurus PT92 better than my Beretta 92. The 1911-like frame mounted thumb safety makes all the difference for me, I ended up hating DA/SA operation, but the PT92 also has a decocker so you have that option if you prefer.
My only negative was I had to break my 1911 shoot with the thumb on the safety habit as the Taurus decocker activates by pushing down past "off safe" and can decock ...

I know some people complain about them but why have a weapon with reduced capabilities. I see more railed guns, not less.

Nice Job!
Course you know you'll need a lot more in the database, but a fine start.
Keep up the good work.

Tinstar shooting range in Oklahoma. They have a website and do their business through gunbroker. I bought a Dan Wesson pistol and Remington 700 rifle from them. Both firearms were way under retail price.

Our guy played into his dillusion until he had an opportunity to shoot him. Shot him right through the chest with one of the old non-expanding supervel 380 loads , missed everything vital and exited and the guy was out bopping around town again a week later.
I guess the crook never heard of Pneumothorax.

Unlike with the military the firearm is not the most important tool for police. The revolver worked fine for most applications they had and there was no reason to upgrade to something else.

This question gets asked occasionally, and I've chimed in before. Rather than re-type, here's my input from a relatively recent thread:

I have carried the Seecamp 32, NAA 22 mag, and Keltec P32; mostly before the P3AT became available. I carry the P3AT now when I want something smaller. I go to IWB for anything larger. If I wanted something a little bigger, I would look hard at the Kahr PM9/CW9. The Rohrbaugh's look/feel very nice and I have only heard great things, but they don't seem to offer anything except fit/finish over...

I have read that Glock has built guns with manual safeties for one or another non-US contract. So all you have to do is order enough guns to make it worth their while and they will fix you up.

This would be self defense gun and only in a last ditch effort to survive. I am not looking to blow holes in bears or anything. Just something small, affordable, and with me all the time.

Most people seem to have favorable experiences with S&W customer service. Those of us who don't, tend to have VERY bad experiences. After my lawyer contacted their corporate counsel, they made a reasonable effort to make things right, although I ended up with a very pretty and mostly worthless gun in the end.

I have a Springfield EMP with tritium night sights. I was shooting it the other day and I also had problems seeing the front sight. I am not sure what to do either.
I have shot it before and never noticed the problem. This time the sun was in front of me so perhaps if the sun had been behind or to the side I would not have had any problem.
