I've got a pretty nice Second-Gen 21 I might "Play With" some day...the QUESTION is, can I use it in CDP since it has had a Grip Reduction and Stippling Job? This was pre-SF, BTW...and it FEELS BETTER to me than the SF, too....mikey357

I AGREE about NOT "Over-lubing"--at least, as far as Glocks are concerned!!!--but I use "Break Free CLP" on ALL my guns, with COMPLETE satisfaction...on the Glocks, I MAY use a DAB of a LIGHT grease--like Wilson's "Ultima Lube"--on the Connector/Trigger Bar interface, but otherwise, it's ALL CLP for ME, Baby!!!... ....mikey357

Fired an old Ithaca 16 ga. LW at hand-thrown Clay Targets 37 years ago...been "Hooked" ever since! Played with Shotguns, Rifles and now Handguns...oh, yeah...I like "Bows and Arrows", too...just not enough TIME to do it ALL... ....mikey357

..and here I thought the ONLY "Advantage" to being a "2152" was NOT being SHOT AT! OT can be NICE, too!!!... ....mikey357 JK, we don't get overtime brother! We do get a fixed percentage extra for "unscheduled" work...as do all 1811 series folks. The bummer is if you work 50 hours in a week (standard) or 100, you get paid the same

I'll second THAT!!!... ....mikey357

Yeah, SINCE WHEN??? Probably has lotsa' CAST PARTS, too!!!... ....mikey357

...oh, yeah...as far as "The Blues" goes, gotta' have some Johnny Winter...VERY underappreciated, if ya' ask me....mikey357

Lynyrd Skynyrd, "One More From The Road"...THE BEST "Live" Album EVER... The Who, "Who's Next"... AC/DC, "Back In Black"... Pink Floyd, "Dark Side Of The Moon"... NOW it gets DIFFICULT... ....mikey357

Well, MAYBE the lil' JAGOFFS will get REAL Prison time...and if they do, MAYBE some real NASTY Fellers will make them their "Girlfriends"...call it "Karmic Justice", if you like...just glad Luttrell and his Mom are okay....mikey357

I've actually seen the Weigand Interchangeable Front Base installed TWO ways...the more "Expedient" way is to just D&T the barrel after milling off the original sight base, and screw it on...the more "Pleasing" installation involves milling a recessed "Channel" for the Weigand base--as illustrated in SDM Fabricating's EXCELLENT Pictorial on the subject, on their website--THEN intalling it...the Weigand Base then appears to be part of the barrel, rather than just sit on top of it...looks more "Original" that way, PLUS gets the front sight a tad lower... FWIW, the Weigand Front Sights come in at least three different heights, IIRC--.200 inch high, .250 inch high and .300 inch high...HTH....mikey357

Wish I had known a lil' EARLIER--I wouldn't have "Swapped" into a Saturday shift this week! Oh, well...If it's a "Go" for the Second Sunday, I'll try like HECK to be there in May!....mikey357

Tom's approach seems to work the best with the "Ribbed" Wolff Mainsprings...and it is very REPEATABLE, too...I'm CHEAP, so I buy the set screws at "Home Despot" ...It DOES SEEM that Smith Stainless Mainsping Tension Screws are SOFTER than the BLUE ones, doesn't it??? Wonder why that is???....mikey357

GREAT Coverage!!! Now, somebody just needs to get SOMEONE from the NATIONAL Media to do a similar segment...well, I can DREAM, can't I???....mikey357

I'd HATE to tell ya' HOW LONG--and how many ROUNDS FIRED--it took me to "Figger' It Out!!! It REALLY IS kinda' SIMPLE when you think about it, huh? Maybe THAT'S my problem..."Kinda' Simple"!!!... ....mikey357

I have shot the seven-shot 686 "Plus" and a coupla' "Performance Center" eight-shooters at "Steel"...I use "Moonclips" with the eight-shot guns, and HKS Brand Model 587 "Speed Loaders" for the "Load and Make Ready" with the seven-shooters... My "Secret Weapon"--besides keeping the Competition LAUGHING SO HARD that they can't SEE STRAIGHT--is a HANDFUL of the German-made "S.L. Variant" spring-loaded seven-shot Speed Loaders...kinda' like Comp III's but for the SEVEN-shot L-frames...'Course, if ya' hafta' RELOAD "On The Clock" very often in "Steel", you're not gonna' place very well...HTH....mikey357

uummm...you DO KNOW that the extractor rod on all S&W's since the late 50's is a LEFT-HAND thread, right? If you attempt to "Loosen It" the "Conventional" way, you are really just TIGHTENING it!...let me know if this does NOT help!....mikey357

Saturday OR Sunday, I'll try like HECK to make it...wanna' "Carpool", Tony???....mikey357

Yeah, I'm kinda' FUNNY about the UNfluted cylinder thing...I THINK it's a PROPORTION thing, or something...maybe, "Phase of the Moon"???...I've got one of the three-inch barreled Model 629 "Snubbies" that "Looks Fine" to my eyes...but the LONGER-barreled guns just don't cut it, IMHO, with the UNfluted "Wheel"...FUNNY, I know... On a slightly DIFFERENT subject, I notice that "Bud's" shows the six-and-a-half inch 610's "In Stock", and with the FLUTED "Wheel"...hhmmm...anybody know a GOOD 'smith who'll cut one down for a REASONABLE Price???...hhmmm....mikey357 Man, and I love unfluted cylinders on N frames!

I actually DID think about "Cutting Down" the 6 & 1/2 inch 610 that RGS ended up with...Three things stopped me... First, it is a pretty decent "Pre-Lock" revovler, and in about a hundred years, it MIGHT be worth something in its' original configuration...Second, it has that CURSED UNfluted cylinder--canya'tellIdon'tlike'em??? Third is the COST of having one "Cut Down"...guess I'm just a CHEAP S.O.B. at heart... ....mikey357

RGS, GLAD you LIKE the 610! Now, IF I could find a FIVE-inch 610 for LESS THAN an "Arm and a Leg", I think I'd give IT a try...it would be a lil' HEAVIER than the 625 five-incher, but not as "Front Heavy" as the six-and-a-half incher...MIGHT be the "Best of ALL Worlds"...mikey357

Oh, yeah...Tony, did NIKE REALLY "Sponsor" You???...We want to know!!!....mikey357

Yeah, WHO ARE those OTHER two guys on the Podium?!?!...anybody know???... ....mikey357

Sharyn, THANK YOU for taking the time to post the RESULTS!!! Made my week...my "Homies" finished fifth and seventh in Iron-sight .22, and second in Iron-sight Revo! COOL!... ....mikey357

...anybody have any RESULTS that go DEEPER than SECOND PLACE? Thanks....mikey357

...thanks for the INFO...unfortunately, my "Homeboys" probably aren't gonna' be in first or second place...at least, not THIS year!!!... ....mikey357
