    Ammo considerations for S&W 696?

    I recently purchased a S&W 696-0 and have yet to take it to the range. The problem is finding ammo for it in my neck of the woods. I don't have the option of buying over the Internet or via mail-order due to local ordinances. Of course, the obvious answer is to load my own, but I'm not quite...

    Just wondering if there is any secret in removing staked grip bushings. My primary goal is to not damage the threads on the frame. Keeping the original bushings is secondary, but would be nice. This is for a Colt series-70 repro. Thanks!

    What changes, if any, would you make to a Series I Gold Match for CCW?

    Although I can't CCW in my current state, I'll be moving relatively soon and have always thought about choosing either a Government or Commander-sized 1911-patterned pistol for CCW.
