Im not trying to come off like a tough guy, but dont see why I cant ask for a reason why I have to comply either....

I have a hard time just doing what I'm told if I'm not doing anything wrong...I'm not some jerk walking around open carrying trying to bait someone for you tube....I'm not saying I would be belligerent if the situation presented itself but why should I just do what I'm told?? IMHO, that conditioned response of compliance is why our country is in the shape it is now...

Haha, not to my knowledge...

I guess that is the root of my problem. She has a "legal" right to carry. She gave him her permit so its not like she was hiding anything...I personally feel he was being a dick, but thats just me...

I told my wife to politely question LE in the event it happens again as to why she needs to handle the weapon if it is already secured instead of just blindly complying. I understand the mentality of LEOs wanting to be safe, but as OS said the least amount of handling a loaded firearm the better...

There again...no problem unloading the firearm. But we arent kids that are doing things just because mommy and daddy say so. Now if the officer wants to make the point of unloading for his safety and peace of mind, fine. But just because, nope....

I wouldnt have a problem with obliging a request but I would ask for a reason also. I have a problem with just handing over my firearm without asking why first, even though in all but a few cases the answer would be obvious...

My past experience also is to be asked where the firearm is located. Have never been asked to expose it or unload it. Thanks for the input sir..

The officer didnt handle it..didnt take the round or the mag...how the hell is that "officer safety"...what would have stopped her from reloading when he walked to his car to run her license and shoot him when he came back? I am usually pretty logical and give people benefit of the doubt, but I fail to see the logic in this situation...

This may have been posted previously but couldn't find the topic. My wife was stopped for speeding today and informed the officer she had a loaded weapon as courtesy when she handed him her license and permit. She said he had her unload the weapon, but didnt ask her to handle the pistol during the stop. I asked her his reasoning and she said he didnt state to her why and because of the circumstances, she didnt ask either. Now, I dont want her to end up on the ground in cuffs but this pisses me off to no end. I would have asked this bastard why I had to unload the pistol before it went any further. I need some advice or be pointed to some statutes on this one as I dont see how an officer has a legal leg in this situation...thanks guys..

Well I am new to AKs and was just gonna pickup some arsenal mags...will definitely give these a try...

Thanks for the link...are those mags reliable feeders...guess it wouldnt matter, could always use them for range/practice mags....

new toy, Arsenal SAM7SF...got an Aimpoint PRO on the way...can't wait to get this joker on the range...

i figured that...i am a big dot guy...have them on my glocks...not big on 3 dot sights after moving to them...

i would probably just come out better buying the staked sight and having the smith install price wise instead of having them cut a dovetail in the front of the slide...dunno???

my front sight is staked, otherwise i would put them on myself...i haven't seen anyone do a staked sight and i would be scared i would eff up my gun...

just got a "new" springfield 1911, was thinking about bastardizing it with some big dots myself...

Was just about to recommend the G30...I have that along with a G19..both are nearly identical in size other than the G30 being slightly thicker due to the higher caliber. I've shot 1911s, XD's, and kahrs along with my glocks...that being said I have had zero issues with shooting my glocks whether at the range or in training classes, no misfeeds or ejection issues. I would say that the glock triggers are the best out of box and have a very noticeable reset once you learn to recognize the feel or hear the click...everyone has an opinion, and I am in no way a fanboy but after shooting over 5 manufacturers across 3 different calibers I have found my niche...your mileage may vary, good luck finding your carry weapon

Thanks for y'alls opinions ...glad I could raise some of your eyebrows...

You hit the nail on the head. My dad told me several years before he passed that he had the gun converted for 45LC from 41mag. The gun didn't come from the factory as it is now, so I'm guessing from some of the comments that any "collectiblity" is dimished aside from the fact that it was my dad's revolver. I guess I am from the "new school" and desired a more wear resistant finish to preserve the gun under use. I am not one to just let things sit in the safe and oil occasionally except for my hunting rifle....

here are some photos...

hang, i will post some photos...my dad had it converted to 45LC....gimme a few...

I have a Model 58 revolver that belonged to my dad that was passed down to me about 2 years ago.  It has some pitting in the finish and I would like to have gun recoated, but would like to get something more like a melonite type finish instead of chromed or blued.  Does anyone have experience with refinishing revolvers and could point me in the direction of a good place that wouldn't rape me to do the job?  Any help you guys can give is ALWAYS appreciated.  Thanks in advance...

that would explain the reason he decided to go there...
