Will Carry

I finally got my Mark III back together. Their is a notch on the Magazine Safety (a worthless safety feature). This notch fits over the sear. I found a you tube video that explains it. As soon as I get the correct washers, this magazine safety is going into the bag with the loaded chamber indicator (another useless safety feature, a pistol is always loaded.). It seems that the Mark III is a Mark II with extra safety features that nobody asked for plus a different mag release. I did not put the stripper kit on the pistol. I have taken it apart enough now that I could do it in my sleep. The Valquartsen (Farfegnugen) grips are nice. If you have big hands.

Well as I was on my hands and knees under the dining room table with a flash light, looking for a spring and a pin the size of a pencil lead, I realized that I may have made a big mistake. My Majestic Arms speed strip kit came in yesterday. After 5 hours my pistol is still in pieces on the dining room table. At the end of the 5 page instructions there is a photograph of what the hammer, Magazine Safety and Sear are supposed to look like. The photo is blurry and it doesn't show the sear orientation and it doesn't say how the mag safety spring bottom is supposed to be attached. If I can ever get this pistol back together, I won't need a Speed Strip Kit. I have taken this pistol apart and put it back together a dozen times. The bolt will not slide into the breach because the sear isn't in the right location. The Ruger manual shows it one way and the Majestic shows it another. I should have listened to ya'll but NOOOOOO!

The Battle for Okinawa was the last big battle of WWII and may have been the bloodiest. The Japanese wanted to inflict so many casualties on American forces that they would not dare to invade Japan.....they achieved their objective. I watch the Military Channel all the time, but I just got through reading a book called "Okinawa: The Ultimate Battle" (Great read). So when they had a program on about Okinawa, I had to watch. Don't believe eveything you see on the Military Channel. The documentary was old and a lot of new information has been found since it was made. Here are some things I caught that were incorrect. Military Channel: There wer 120,000 Japanese troops on Okinawa Fact: There were Jap 70,000 infantry 7,000 Jap marines. The Japanese conscripted every Okinawan male from 14 to 45 as laborers/cannon fodder. They had almost no military training and were not envolved in the heaviest fighting. Military Channel: There were 30,000 civilian casualties on Okinawa Fact: Somewhere between 100,000 and 200,000 Military Channel: There were 15,000 US casualties at Okinawa. ??? Facts: I don't know where they got that figure. There were around 12,000 kia, 30,000 wia 30,000 battle fatigue, 30,000 non combat related injuries. 3 crack Marine divisions and 3 veteran infantry divisions were no longer able to fight. Even the few who made it out without injuries were never the same again. Military Channel: The Japanese battleship Yamato was sent on a suicide mission to Okinawa with only enough fuel for a one way trip, just enough to get to Okinawa. Facts: The captain of the Yamato made sure his ship was fully fueled before he set out. All of the young naval cadets were taken off the ship becuase the Japanese navy new they would need competent young men to rebuild Japan after the war. Unlike the Japanese Army, the Jap Navy was not suicidal. The Japanese Navy stopped letting naval cadets go in to combat 14 months before the war ended. They knew they were beaten.

I want a Smith & Wesson model 27 6.5" in blue. The Mona Lisa of handguns. Or a S&W 627 with the 8 round cylinder.

I won't sell mine. It's a keeper. It makes shooting hot .357 magnum loads a pleasure. My daughter shoots it and loves it.

I'm having handgun withdrawals. Is there a 12 step program for what I got? I just about have enough money to buy a new handgun but I just don't have any burning desire. I want an old school Smith and Wesson revolver but they are so over priced, maybe I should learn to shoot the pistols I have....... 1) Colt Government 1991A SS 45acp 2) Springfield XD-45 45acp 3) Glock 36 45acp 4) Springfield XDm-40 40s&w 5) Glock 19 9mm 6) Diamondback DB380 .380 7) Ruger Mark III Hunter 22lr 8) Ruger MarK II Bull Barrel 22lr 9) Ruger GP-100 4" SS .357 10) S&W M-36 3" Nickle 38sp 11) Ruger Bisley Vaquero .357 12) Ruger Single Six 9.5" blued 22lr 13) Ruger Single Six 6.5" SS 22lr

I bought a BSA red dot from Midway for $60 (I think) It has seven different sight patterns. a cross, a circle with a dot in it, a cross woth a circle in it, yada yada. The only one I use is the red dot. I works great! Better than a "laser" and I can focus my eyes on it without my glasses. Just remember all you need is a red dot you don't need a lot of extras.

He said "Will, I love you man....but don't ever eat any of those mushrooms again!" That is a true story. My grandmother lived on a farm in Lower Alabama. They had 70 acres of pasture. I was 17 at the time and to this day I have never eaten any more of them mushrooms that grow in cow dung. I never even wanted to... I do understand your point and I guess I can't prove there are no beings living on other planets. It is an infinite impossibility therefor it must be.

Those Federal Low Recoil loads are not really that low. I bought some for the exact reason you gave, for my wife. What I finally found were, as has been suggested, 1)Wadcutter target loads and 2) Cowboy action loads. These two have the least recoil of any 38 special load I have tried. I also had some success with some Independence Semi-Wadcutters loads, but I won't be buying any more Independence ammo. Some of the rounds in the box were defective. The primers were sticking out and they caused my revolver to jam when fired.

The way I understand it Christ still exists. He spoke to me once when I was younger. You want to know what he said?

These supposed "aliens from another planet" obviously don't want us to know who they are or they would land on the White House lawn. They have the technology to fold time and travel vast distances, they can sneak in without showing up on radar. SO.......WHY DO THEY ALWAYS TURN ON THEIR LIGHTS AT NIGHT? Don't they know we can see them? Is their some kind of intergallactic FAA that says "All space ships must use their running lights at night when sneaking around Earth". Why don't astronomers ever see UFOs? Why is it always some Goober living in a single wide out in the sticks? Ya know why? Because UFOs don't exist and ya know what else? Neither does Big Foot!

I ordered it last night from Midway along with one of them Farfegnugen fancy grips. I can break down my Mark II and Mark III but I want to try this strip kit. It says it reduces the trigger pull to 3-3.5lbs? I also bought a new blade for the rear sight. The original is a "V" notch, this one is a square notch.

Here ya go. Speed Strip Kit

Does anyone use this Majestic speed strip kit for their Mark III? I love my Mark III Hunter with the 6 7/8" fluted bull barrel. The guy I took my concealed carry class from was so great I told him I'd buy a pistol from him. The man just opened a gun shop in Bahama NC. It's a great little gun shop. The class was $65. The instructor was a retired cop who I new back in the 80s when he was an undercover narc (no he didn't bust me). The guy fired up the grill that morning and while teaching the class cooked a half dozen chickens. He not only taught the required material but taught us how to spot and avoid assaults and carjackings. He even went over how gangs operate, how to recognize them, their signs and their graffiti. He told us stories about is LEO days and gave demonstrations about how quickly a person can cover 21 feet. The chicken was excellent! So I forked out a bundle for this Mark III he had in his shop that nobody would buy.........

It's dated 2013. It is what things could be like if we do nothing to stop them. I saw a politician on TV tell me that I don't need a high capacity magazine, that I only need ten bullets and if I dissagree with her, then I'm a fool. I must be a "gun nut" because I dissagree. Because I think that monster in Arizona would have done the same thing regardless of whether he had a 30 round mag, a 6 shot revolver or an SUV.

Rossi no longer makes the 3" model. Your brother gave you a great deal.

San Francisco, California: 2013 Legislators in the 12 disctrict have proposed new gun control legislation to ammend the new 3 round magazine law. Proponants have suggested that having 3 rounds in a pistol poses a serious threat to society and have introduced a bill that would allow pistol owners to carry a concealed weapon only if it is unloaded. They will be allowed to keep one bullet on their person which should be in their shirt pocket. You think this is stupid? Me too, but is it too far fetched? Write your senators and congressmen and let them know how you feel.

Dude! $650 and you want a new handgun. Life is good. I could recommend a totally different gun than the two you mentioned but I won't. The Glock 30 is a great little pistol. I choose the Glock 36 because it was slim and easier to conceal. I kinda wish I had bought the G30 instead. The Glock 36 pinches the crap out of my pinky finger, with the original magazine. The +1 extension does OK. The Glock 30 is about the same size as the Glock 19.

Tactical = Shoot me first !!!! That makes a lot of sense, tactically. So........"Say hello to my new FISHING vest." Thanks for the striaght talk!

"Is that your fishin' vest your wearing?" "No it's a TACTICAL vest." "Hunh?" My shorts are TACTICAL shorts. I have a TACTICAL pocket knife, TACTICAL watch, TACTICAL boots. TACTICAL sunglasses. I even have TACTICAL underwear. Putting the word TACTICAL on something makes me want to buy it...............I'm such a nerd. I wonder if they have TACTICAL pocket protectors?

You have to understand that this is North Carolina politics and take it with a grain of salt. I ain't saying they are doing wrong, it's just when politicians are involved sometimes people do things differently.

You will need a flintlock rifle and a bullet mold. That way you can make your own gun powder and shot. Learn how to make bows and arrows. Humans are social critters. We need numbers to survive. You will have to find a tribe. You will have to breed prodigeously to keep birth rates up. In "The Road" when they reached the shore, they found a beetle. That was the first sign of life in the movie. That, to me, was a sign of hope.

Holy Crap! I meant to vote NO. I bet the other two guys that voted yes did the same thing.

Bersa makes a good pistol for the money. My Diamondback 380 runs flawlessly and stays in my pocket. You will do fine with the Bersa for now. The only two things I would suggest is that you save up a little more money and that you learn to embrace recoil. My daughter, bless her heart, will shoot any pistol I put in her hand, from .357 magnum to 45acp to 40 S&W. As long as a gun doesn't hurt to shoot, then you can learn to appreciate the recoil. Maybe you could learn to shoot a 9mm? A 40? Now your talking:) good luck!
