    Sight help for my SP

    I've got two DAO SPs which I love. One has a trigger job and really sweet. Unfortunately, I'm just not accurate with it the way I am with my 4" 686; the Smith has a really beautiful orange site and I'm dead on accurate with it. It is possible to get a really good sight for the SP that will...

    SP101 grip inserts?

    I've done a search for Letts Custom Grips and have come up empty. Where can I find this item for my guns? Thanks.

    Waist pack for the bike?

    A couple of things right off - first, I'm a lady shooter so I'm not caught up with the "Manly thing to do" and second, I'm talking about a bicycle, not a motorcycle. Just to get this out of the way....;) I just bought a nice Schwinn comfort bike and right away, it occurs to me that I'll need...

    Reassembling the Cheetah

    Got an 85 Nickel Cheetah and just took it apart to clean it. Everything's back together but the slide. Having a hard time figuring it out. Can anyone walk me through it and explain the process step by step. I know I'm missing something very basic. Thanks.

    Hate the candidates, what now?

    Am I alone in this? I'm reading the news and thinking if it comes down to either Hillary or Juan McCain - which is the lessor of two evils? Both are anti gun and weak with the border and security. How do you choose how to vote when you hate both? Laura

    Fannie packs for women?

    Just got my LTC and want to take along my SP DAO or 37 S&W bobbed but can't afford the belt and holster at the moment. Are there any good fannie packs that fit a woman's waist - 26"? I got one free once and waaaaay too big. :eek:

    Sold my revolvers

    Kept the 686 4" but got rid of the 60, Lady Smith 36, 686 2". I've finally picked up the model 37 bobbed hammer and have a prelock 36 - soon to be adding a prelock model 13 4" blued gun to my collection - looks like new and hardly fired. Next year I hope to find a good thin barrel model 10...

    Lost key

    Not a cable lock but a Ruger bar lock (I think it's called) No. 5025 04-06. Does anyone have a 1-800 number that I could call to get a replacement key?:(

    Looking at 1911s

    Just swung by the shop today and couldn't take my eye off the Para Warthog (I think) which was the compact 45. It looked sweet but when the shop owner gave me the gun and explained the fit - I understood why it could only be used for pratice a short time. It dug into my hand - and I have small...

    Buying new guns

    I always hated the 442 but regret I didn't keep trying with it. I wanted something small and lightweight for carry that would conceal easily so I opted for the s&w 37 prelock, with a bobbed hammer - actually two on lay away. I'm planning on putting a Pachmayr compac grip on both. Will this...

    Which Gauge?

    I'm getting a 20" Stoeger in the fall but can't decide whether to buy a 12 gauge or a 20. It'd be just for home and range - no hunting. Thanks.

    What's the longest barrel you own?

    For revolver lovers, my father was watching the history channel where they showed the old series of Wayet Erp (it's spelled wrong, I know). Anyway, some of the revolvers they used were ten and twelve inches long. I showed him a Redhawk Ruger (7 1/2") and New Single Six (9 1/2"). He said they...

    Itching for another SP

    Surfing the webpage of my local gun shop and noticed a SP DAO "like new" for sale for $325 - I've already got this model but it's such a sweet gun, it's a tad hard to resist so I'm thinking of putting it on lay away. Anyone else got two of the same Ruger models? Laura

    Gun Security Cabinet - Good Buys?

    I'm looking for a good stack gun security cabinet. Sometime for my long guns and handguns (which are considerable). I saw a good one at Dick's but just want to look around as they won't get another shipment until Tuesday. Any good sites that sell these w/ free shipping? Thanks. Laura

    Oakleys

    I'd like to finally break down and get a decent pair of shooting glasses. Which is the better M frame - hinges or no hinges? I want something that will last that won't break easy so which to choose?

    Which Celestron Spotting Scope?

    I'm trying to find a spotting scope that's a decent price (money's tight) but good eye relief, won't fog up and water proof. Any on this page folks can recommend? Laura http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=br_ss_hs/103-0029006-9682232?search-alias=aps&keywords=Celestron%20spotting%20scopes

    A .45 newbie question

    I've never owned a .45 but being into guns, I kind of wanted one of everything. I had the misfortune of shooting a 125 grain magnum load from Remington from my SP and 686 and was blown away by the noise and the kick. Now I love shooting magnums if it's a mild grain but I sure didn't like what...
