    What do you use for home rolled ammo ID

    I use Avery Labels and a word processing program. I’ve been shooting the same 9 mm reload for years so most of the time I only have to pen and ink the label to change the date. Same with other calibers

    Florida permits

    Current Florida CCW permit requires proof of training before permit is issued. Reciprocity, as I understand, it is usually granted by a state based upon the fact that Florida’s permit requirements mirror their own.

    What are the best night sights for LCR?

    Slip-on Handguard for LC9s

    I put a Hogue Handall Jr on my LC9. Made a big difference. Let the grip set in hot water for about ten minutes and spray the pistol handle with some windex. The grip will slip right on.

    OM Bearcat-Pawn Shop Find

    I've decided not to have it converted. I have a single six I bought new in 1969 and I never had it converted. Carried 6 all the time until I got the internet and learned how dangerous carrying 6 can be. :) Hope to get the Bearcat action as smooth as my SS. Thanks

    OM Bearcat Help

    I'm trying to disassemble a 1970 Bearcat and am having a problem. When cocking the hammer the hammer strut is not clearing the mainspring keeper to allow the disassembly pin to be inserted. If I insert the pin before full cock the tension on mainspring is not released. Has anyone had this...
