I put one up here, on this site.

There's a really help PDF over here on the PocketGuns site, broken down by .32, .380, .40, and .45. With the side by side comparisons against a similar sized template, you can see relatives sizes, grip form factor, and get all the specs/prices of each model. I thought it was pretty useful.

That's great. Not only will that save money, but it'll taste better...and it won't be unsafe.

How specifically is Google anti gun? I hadn't heard about that.

True, but all the smart good looking people got one. You didn't?

Pretty darn cool: Google Voice Any of you using it yet?

I'm going to put my money on the "left" team!

Nothing motivated me to get an HCP more than just SHOPPING at Gun City. I felt like I was taking my life in my hands just going to that part of town.

No, I have the Steyr Scout in .308 w/ a Leupold Scout scope on it.

Speaking of a heavy caliber on a light rifle, I was a little shocked (and knocked backwards) when I fired my Scout the first time. It's a touch over 6 lbs and is chambered in .308. Ouch.

I have a Steyr Scout. I didn't get the Jeff Cooper version, since I didn't see the point. I just got my own mounts/rings and put a Leupold Scout on it. The eye relief range is pretty amazing: 9-17". What I like about the concept is the lightness, shorter barrel, and the fact that I can be more visually aware with both eyes open and neither one of them buried in the eyepiece. It sounds like a fun project for you to do! Keep us posted.

Yeah, I'm going to have to try something with less kick than the +P. Then just make sure I'm only attacked with big slow people.

1) The sights are fairly lame. Maybe they are on most revolvers, but that's how they struck me for this particular one. 2) I think it'll be more user friendly and confidence-inspiring for my wife. 3) I'd never had a laser on any gun and this seemed like a perfect excuse for a toy.

I can't remember for sure (not near my receipt), but I'm pretty sure it was OpticsPlanet.com. I order a lot of stuff from them, and they have always been good to deal with.

I did a ton of research, and I landed on the Buckmark for my decision. I couldn't be happier with it.

I have one and love it. Primary advantages; 1) Light overall. 2) Large capacity (extended mags hold 30 + 1). 3) Accurate. 4) Longer range. 5) Little recoil. 6) Shares my PS90 ammo. There's never been a shortage of 5.7 x 28mm, so it has that going for it, too. And in the scheme of things, it's not terribly expensive compared to what other stuff has risen to. You can get it any day of the week for ca. $38/100 rounds. Surplus Ammo ALWAYS has it in stock.

Don't MAKE me come over there and give you a dope slap.

I paid a bit under list, I believe, for the revolver itself. And then got the Crimson Trace at a good discount. What they were asking on GunBroker for the combined units was ridiculous.

Oops. So shoot me.

That's pretty darn cruel! That's like saying, "I saw one of your friends get shot yesterday. See ya."

I bought a NIB Ruger RCR (Ruger Compact Revolver) from another member of the site. It's the first revolver I've ever owned, and I was intrigued by the size and weight. I went ahead and ordered the Crimson Trace kit for it and installed it myself (it takes about 5 minutes and is incredibly simple). Anyway, I got a chance to shoot it today at the range, and figured I'd introduce this good looking (and shooting) gun with a few pictures: I was trying to figure out how to capture a photo of the laser, and came up with these two: So, how does it shoot. Or rather, how do I shoot it. This first shot was the very first 5 rounds, handheld at 3 yards. This second one is 10 rounds, also handheld, at 7 yards. I forget to take the adjustment tool to the range, so I couldn't zero it there. Anyway, here are some first impressions of the gun with the Crimson Trace on it: 1) It appears to be very well made. I'm very impressed with the build quality. 2) It's going to take me a long time to get used to the trigger. Maybe all revolvers are this way, but the trigger pull is very stiff, then goes softer before it breaks. I still got groupings I was happy with, but it's a weird feeling. 3) The grip feels terrific--though I wish my pinky had something to do. 4) It has a fair bit of recoil, made worse by the lightness of the revolver. I only put 15 rounds through it (the first 5 above and then the 10 above), but I was ready to quit after that. Hopefully I won't have to shoot anyone more than 15 times or I'll just have to take a time out. 5) This thing really works well in a pocket. 6) The Crimson Trace is very natural and well-engineered. There's no interference at all from it. I was shooting .38 Special +P, like the manual suggests.

"The SIG-Sauer P-230 pistol was designed and produced in Germany by the joint venture of the J.P.Sauer (Germany) and SIG Arms (Swiss) as a compact police and self-defense pistol. P-230 hit the market circa 1977 and was manufactured until the 1996, when it was replaced by the P-232 pistol, which is no more than technologically and ergonomically improved P-230. Original P-230 was offered in variety of 3 calibers - 9mm Browning Short, 7.65mm Browning and a now discontinued 9mm Police, which was designed as a most powerful round suitable for simple blowback pistols. 9x18mm Police is rougly equal in terms of power to the Russian 9x18mm Makarov, but these two ARE NOT interchangeable! Attempts to fire 9x18mm Mak in the 9mm Police P-230 can result in serious damage to the pistol and injury to the shooter! P-230 and P-232 are quite similar internally. Both are simple blowback operated, hammer fired pistols, with double action triggers and a manual decocker levers mounted on the left side of the frame, behind the trigger. P-232 also featured automated firing pin safety. Both pistols lack the slide stop. Both pistols can be found in standard form, with steel slide and aluminium alloy frame and blue finish, or in SL versions, with both slide and frame made from stainless steel. Latter models are slightly heavier and wear a polished steel finish. P-232 featured drift-adjustable rear sights, dovetailed into the slide. Feed is from single stack magazines for 7 9mm or 8 7.65mm rounds. It should be noted that both P-230 and P-232 feature magazine catch, located at the heel of the grip. Both P-230 and P-232 are high quality, durable and reliable guns, as every other pistol, produced by the famous Swiss-German alliance. These guns are well suited for personal defense, concealed carry and as a backup guns, offering good accuracy and mild recoil."

Put 15 rounds downrange today from my new .308, zeroing the scope. And then another 15 rounds out of an LCR, checking the zero of the Crimson Trace.

Definitely better. I enjoyed it. Seemed a little more upscale, and definitely some better displays. That older guy with all the old rifles was interesting. He had some that went back 120 years.

You'll really like the gun. I have a later variant, the P232, but they're virtually the same. No gun has ever felt that good in my hand.
