Anyone with longer / thinner hands tried any different grips with this fine gun? Is the Hogue rubber grip any "beefier"? Anyone know of an aftermarket grip with greater width? Thanks in advance!

Ok, still kind of new here but ready to make my next purchase: For CCW / defense I have: SP-101 & Sig P239. For Target / defense I have: GP-100 & <???>. Time to get the Sig a "big-brother". I'm a bit more lax here as this would be primarily for fun, here are a few parameters: * I'd like it...

I've been told 3 days. In whatever legal docs I can find (as of 11/01) it is 3 days. I've bought a couple of guns this year and waited 3 days before picking them up. This other store says the law is really 5 days, and has been that way for over a year. On principle, if I wanted to argue...

Any opinions on this product? Seems to be good for cleaning but it also states that it is a "dry lube" and that it replaces the regular oil I put on the slide, etc. after cleaning. So should I oil after using it, or let it do both jobs, or stop using it? Thanks, and sorry if this may have...

Anyone know what the average/consensus measurements are on this subject? Like car manufacturers engineer ergonomics around their version of "average" - for example I've never been able to "fit" in a honda product. Just finding that on certain guns (mostly semi-autos) I have a hard time both...

Rant off, I'm over it :) Thanks for letting me vent!

Yet another basic question (first semi-auto here), but somehow I haven't located a clear answer yet. Weird that the Sig manual (or other docs in their site) fail to specify what a suitable amount of oil is. Maybe just a legal liability thing? What is the recommended oiling procedure for a Sig...

Did I put it back together properly? Page 13 of the common manual for the P220/225/226...etc. says that when re-assembling one should make sure the recoil spring has its narrower end slipped over the guide first. Well the spring looks entirely equal to me, both ends appear identical. Tried...

Took my brand new Sig P239 (first semi-auto I own) and shot 150 rounds during lunch... very very poor shooting! My comfortable revolver stance (something close to a mod weaver) didn't work, and I kept fumbling trying to adjust everything from feet to knees to upper body to elbows to grip. Plus...

Own an SP-101 in 357 flavor. Been lightly shopping for a Redhawk or variant thereof, strictly for fun at the range. Closest thing I could find to rent around here was a Security-Six (357 as well) which I assume is the GP predecessor? So I used a mix of 38 wadcutters & 357 magnums today...

Ok, here is what I think I want: 1) SP-101: got it, love it, defense gun. 2) Sig 239: got it, love it, defense gun. 3) 1911-type, e.g. Kimber CDP: gotta have it, fun/defense gun. 4) Ruger SuperHawk revolver: fun factor. 5) S&W 342PD: just insane weight, for planned CCW. 6) Full size 1911...

I'm sure this is a topic beaten to death, but still... So besides the obvious safety rules we all observe, what goes? * Ammo (for us revolver folks) - do we really just push our empties onto the ground? Just seems sloppy. * If I run out of targets / ammo, need a bathroom break, whatever...

After much agonizing I finally got me a brand new Sig P239 today. Love the thing and the ergonomics fit me well. But the friendly local shop has lots of 1911 fans, and allowed me to handle and shoot several. Wow! I can now understand what some of you keep talking about. Shooting the...

Exploring the versatility of a 22 kit, but really like the idea of it being a "factory" item rather than 3rd party. Kimber looks good, just wanted to see if there were other common alternatives (the "search" feature is still down on TFL). Thanks for any thoughts!

Hi there, Trying to understand the basic differences between otherwise identical guns offered in hammer / hammerless versions (e.g. Ruger SP or S&W 33x series). Is it a preference issue, safety concern, CCW (snag) issue, or what? And for some reason I think that for CCW I'd feel safer with a...

First, if anyone has been to smith-wesson.com, *** excuse for a web site is that?!? Anyway, coming to the conclusion that to complement home & office (which would both have primary guns) I'd settle for the lightest, least intrusive piece that I can wear in an ankle holster in a tropical...

Are these devices still in the market, and do they truly work? Any firsthand experience with this or similar ones?

A bit confused here - I got the course and paperwork done for CCW, envelope ready to be mailed... In reality my primary concern is having a unit available at home, office and vehicle. Having the option to have with me at other times is highly desirable but not imperative. So here is my...

Ok, this is probably a completely stupid thing to be concerned about, but might as well ask: How (im)possible is it for the cyclinder action to go out of spec so that the chamber and the barrel are not perfectly aligned? Due to wear, dropping the unit, bad manufacturing, whatever. What kind...

Ok, still exploring and reading my way through the many threads... but given the quality replies to my previous post, here it goes: In addition to the SP101 (intended as a defense unit) I'd like to own a "fun" gun - meaning intended to use at a range for the sport of it (I'm sure there is a...
