It is my understanding that the SFS refers to "steel fixed sights" also. But I am not a Glock owner so I could be wrong. Best to aviod the confusion and just get a 1911. Just kidding.

Yep, smooth as silk. I love my little Star.

It was a good day today at the range. Decided to send a few rounds down range and have a little fun. First up was the new Sig P238. This little sucker rocks! Lots of fun and very accurate. No problem hitting where you aim it. No FTF or FTE problems. 50 rounds without any issues right out of the box. Got to love a gun that goes bang every time. Next was my Star M40 in .40S&W, The trigger on this pistol is outstanding! One of the smoothest shooters I have ever had the pleasure of wasting lead on. It is a shame the company went out of business because these are excellent carry weapons. Last pony out of the gate was my Taurus Tracker in 44 Mag. I wanted to test out a new set of Hogue one piece grips I just put on. The original grips caused my middle knuckle to bash the trigger guard. The Hogue corrected this problem. Although neither helps with the recoil of this behemoth. Funny Note, a young lady was checking in as I was shooting the .44 mag. As she heard it go BOOM, she asked the range officer what is was. He replied, "A Penis Extension." She was not happy about being assigned to the post next to me. Sorry nice lady:nervous:

The shooting of a quality 1911 is like the love of a good woman, a smooth cuban cigar and a shot of 12 year old scotch all at the same time. I am exaggerating of course, but you get my point. LOL

Very nice rod man.

OMG, an intellegent investigation about the truth behind gun laws in america. Say it aint so! Love the video and have already Face Booked it to all the Libs on my friends list. LOL:clap:

I saw one at the Outpost in Murfreesboro today. It was $719. I can buy a whole lot of cool for that kind of change. I will just stick to my P238 in the Nitron finish. Rainbows and guns just seems wrong.

Cool, learn something new every day.

I considered the Judge also but like JPS, went with the Bond Arms Snake Slayer. It is very portable and quite accurate with the .45 lc. I also like the fact that I can put my .45acp barrel on it and it becomes a mid-range man stopper. Plus it just looks cool as balls! One down side to the Judge is you can only shoot 2.5" shotshells.

I've got the same one in my family. Amazing how many relatives of John Browning you can find.

Found some online also for $20 per box of 50. Will probably order some and head to Reloaders bench for Defense rounds tomorrow.

Thats funny, I called them this afternoon and they said they didn't have any. My brother said they have it in his local gun store in St Louis for under $20 a box of 50. His is going to ship me a couple hundred rounds.

OK, you guys got me. You know who you are. You teasers with your new Sig P238s. You've infected me and the only cure was to purchase for myself the last P238 Academy Sports had. It was a good price too. Unfortunately Academy was out of .380 ammo so the range time will have to wait until I can find something to feed it. And now for the required porn.

Can not wait to see it. Post a picture when it is done. Might contract you for one.

Welcome to the Fold JPS, and it was nice meeting you today.

FireStar M40S&W in an Uncle Mike IWB. Heavy gun but very compact.

I have the SA GI 1911a1 and it shoots great. Eats anything I feed it without issues. I have shot both the Taurus and the RI and went with the SA because it fit me the best.

The hammer automatically changes which barrel fires and rotates to the next barrel after each shot. You can look at the side of the hammer and tell which barrel will fire next and just cock and decock until you get it set on the one you want.

The .45 ACP is very accurate too. Pulled a head shot out of the bottom barrel at 75 feet.

I keep a rifled slug in the bottom and 000 buck in the top. It is set to shoot the bottom barrel first since that is the one the sights are set for.

It is basically a double barrel shotgun in your pocket. How small do you think it should be?

Only problem is the thought of having to search this guy makes me want to void my stomach of said pie and slim jims:puke:

Bond Arms Snake Slayer with extended grip and 3.5" barrel vs my other ccw's. 3" barrel and regular grip makes it much smaller. First up is a standard 1911 Second is a Taurus PT111 9MM MilPro Third is a .357 Magnum Snub Nose And last is a Star 40 s&w

For those interested, I have posted a range report on the Handguns forum. It is a comparison of the Bond Arms Snake Slayer vs. Davis Arms Big Bore .38 Special.

For those of you who expressed an interest in the Bond Arms Snake Slayer from my post on show and tell, I have the following range report, and basic firearm review. I have always had a love of double barrel pocket pistols. The nature of these little wonders has always interested me. Years ago, I carried a Davis .32 when out delivering pizza to the bad areas of Jacksonville Fl. The problem with these pistols is they required a good amount of practice to become accurate beyond the average size card table, and Derringers over .22 cal hurt to fire more than 10 or 20 rounds. In comes the Bond Arms Snake Slayer. This is a very meaty pistol and weighs a ton compared to the Davis Derringers. It is milled from solid Stainless Steel (the Davis being aluminum frame with steel barrel inserts). It is also about a 3rd larger than the Davis in size, which helps greatly with the recoil. The Davis used for comparison is a Big Bore .38 Spl with 2.5" barrel. Range Report: The Bond comes with a 3.5" barrel and is chambered for .45 LC and .410 shot shell. A second barrel for the Bond in .45 ACP was also tested. Since the range used does not allow shot shells they will not be part of the review. The Davis is chambered in standard non +p .38 spl. First shots from the Davis at 10 feet show the sights are set for the bottom barrel and are dead on with the top barrel printing about 6" high. This is likely due to the recoil of the upper barrel forcing the gun vertically. Shots fired at 20 feet show the bottom barrel still on target, with top barrel printing about 8" high. Accuracy beyond 20 feet was non existent and difficult to even get a shot to print on the 8x8 target. Recoil on the Davis was rough, and about 26 rounds of fun was all my hand could take. Now on the the Bond. First shots from the bond in .45 LC with 3.5" barrel at 20 feet show the sights are also set on the bottom barrel with the top barrel printing about 2" high. 35 feet out, and still hitting dead on with the bottom barrel, with the top barrel printing about 4" high. I did however, notice that some rounds were key holing. This was probably due to the barrel rifling being only .5" of the barrel length. This is done to accommodate 3" shot shell. Accuracy beyond 35 feet was difficult. Bond with 3" barrel in .45 ACP was outstanding. Shots at 35 feet were dead on with bottom barrel and top barrel printing about 3.5" high. Recoil was very manageable due to the over-sized grip, which allows you to get your pinky around it. Accuracy beyond 35 feet was reduced to center mass body shots with an impressive head shot from the bottom barrel at 75 feet. Although the trigger requires an unusual downward pull, it is easily mastered with a little practice. Bottom line, the Bond takes the Derringer to a whole new level. It is no longer a belly gun, but a full-on reliable shooter in a very compact package. Although the 2-shot design is a draw back, the availability of running .410 in 000 buck and being able to hide it in any style of dress, puts it back on my ccw list. Great little gun and a very solid shooter. Plus it just looks Cool! For
