My 646 has a titanium cylinder. I've noticed the fired cases stick in the cylinder requiring quite a bit of force to eject. My question is, what can you do to stop the sticking? If you can't overcome this, then what is the advantage besides weight reduction?

Sorry...just to add a little pain and suffering:
Make of grips?

I really enjoyed the episode showing the Walther PPKs mounted on the bumper. Since I don't have that kind of money, I'm thinking about getting them to mount four High Points on the front of my Buick. Does this sound like a good idea?
Oh...the daughter is smoking hot.

The 646 is a L-frame.

Where did they come up with the idea for these weird guns? A SP89 and a SPP, really?

Has it been underwater? Even so, it's a good deal.

After reading all the posts here, I am totally baffled. I guess I should just stick with my old reliable Bullseye.
Either Hodgdon's Clays, or, as was mentioned, Vit 320, is way cleaner, and softer recoiling, than Bullseys.

Softer recoiling? How can that be, slower burn rate? And what rounds are you loading with it?

I am so sorry to hear of this. While all of us paid tribute to those that died on 9-11 yesterday, it was hard to remember there were still our friends and neighbors fighting and dying. Godspeed to our fallen soldiers. May you rest in His kingdom forever. May our Country win this war soon. May those that attacked us be given their painful reward.

Retired from a large municipal PD. Still doing it, just somewhere else now for a total of 31 years.

I didn't think I would like that episode going in but, I really enjoyed it. Maybe we can work a rock throwing stage in at the next 3-gun match I go to. Scratch that, make it a 3-rocks match.

You must have a 6-inch barrel. If you swap it out with a taller front sight, the fix would be to install a taller rear sight also.

I shot for 10 years. It is a dying game for a whole bunch of reasons.

Did some research:
Physiology of color perception
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_vision
Of the three cones in the human eye green is picked up by all 3. Where red is seen by 2
Also red makes your heartbeat faster where green is calming
Then why isn't there a blue F/O? Blue is calming too.

I think it may be this one: http://www.precisionsights.com/Product/SG_product_page.html

I have a FN SLP 18" shotgun. I'd like to replace the white dot front sight for a F/O. Does anyone make one to fit this model?
Thanks!

Great job shooting the Glock.
This one has to be the most interesting of the three so far. At least, it has captured my attention.

Thanks for all the wisdom. What is 4HF? B?

I am an old school revolver shooter that started in the 70s. I carried revolvers for many years when that's all they would let us have.
Since I started shooting a wheelgun in local matches, I have found; I am enjoying it immensely and other shooters look at me like I have grown an extra eyeball. I really can't see going back to an auto since it is so much freaking fun.
I am not really looking for blinding speed but wasn't expecting to be so far separated from what I expect shooting an auto.

1) I'm not a speed demon and have only dabbled with IDPA and IPSC.
2) Recently, I started shooting these matches with my old 686 but am the only one shooting a wheelie.
Q) How much slower is a revolver than an auto? My accuracy is fine but I seem to be almost twice as slow as the auto shooters. Most of my shooting has been in PPC. I'm actually fairly fast at reloading.

I wish I could say that for mine. However, it does seem to be a good single-shot shotgun.
Hip replacement
in Injured Reserve List
Posted
I had a hip replacement surgery fall 2020. The first two weeks were extremely limiting. The good news is that the pain in the joint was gone immediately. I would be very careful doing anything beyond what the doctor and therapist tells you. Eight weeks sounds optimistic. It took about a year before I felt like I had fully recovered.
The problem now is that I need my other hip replaced.
