Provided funds were available without "starving the baby" I'd be all over one...

The LC9s is a revolver, now?! Seriously, I had the same issue with the USA made magazine that came with mine when I had it. Had four Italian mags and they worked fine. My USA mag didn't drop under recoil as some report, but it would release in my IWB holster every time I turned my torso to...

I didn't buy any promags when I had my LC9s but if you use the search function you'll find a lot of posts from people who have and were not at all happy with them...

Planning on using TK Custom (TKCustom.com) unless I hear terrible things about him between now and then. LOL I exchanged emails with him and he said his turnaround time is about 3 weeks...but I'm the guy that something always happens to and since I want to carry that on my long motorcycle trip...

+1 - lots of times folks think because a rifle has a synthetic stock that the action and barrel are automatically "bedded" properly but that's not always, maybe not even often, the case.

Well...gun writers gotta have somethin' to jaw about! Seriously, though, the original LC9 trigger would have been a deal breaker for me (I have a friend who has one). It's not that the pull is especially long or heavy, it's long and heavy for such a short grip...it put my trigger finger in the...

When I had my LC9s it came with one USA mag and I bought 4 Italian ones. The USA mag would release in my IWB holster when I would twist my torso getting in or out of the car. None of the 4 Italian mags did that. The bluing on the Italian mags was much, much better than the bluing on the USA...

I believe in having "one of everything" on the theory that there will be a better chance of having ammo available and reasonably cheap for at least some of my guns at any given time. I'm also a big believer in versatility - after my vacation at the end of the month I am going to have the...

Nice! I'm planning on having my 3" SP-101 cylinder cut for moon clips (9mm, obviously) after my vacation next month. I need it for my ride through the Ozarks and don't want to risk having it not come back in time for that trip but once I get back the cylinder is going in the mail. I'll...

If that's not the Pro then the first click is probably the magazine disconnect dropping into place. If I remember right before I removed the magazine disconnect on mine it did that...but it's been a while.

Glock 26 with TFX sights and smoothed action and one spare mag. Not too worried about being dressy...if anybody sees it at all in church it will be a situation where we're all a lot more concerned about how well it's working than how dressy it looks... LOL

Oh...and before I forget...bear spray is just as, if not more, effective on black bears as on the big guys. In fact, several "experts" claim that even the relatively weak "dog sprays" are pretty effective on black bear.

I was wondering if somebody was going to mention this... :) A proper .357 load should be quite adequate for black bear. I wouldn't purposefully go hunting black bear with one but I wouldn't be uncomfortable hiking/camping with one...in fact a 3" SP101 is exactly what I have for those...

Couch my foot! You'll be out in the back yard telling the dog to "move it on over" :)

The local Cabela's had a ton of .22LR when I was in there Thursday. Several different brands. Lots of bricks of Federal cheapo stuff. A few 325 round flats of the CCI mini-mags. A few bricks of Thunderbolts. Lots of plastic 100 round boxes of "golden bullets", etc. They still were...
