Dependable, Accurate
Written on Jul 20, 2025
This load was for initial use by police to penetrate 1930's thick vehicle siding & engine blocks... w/ lead bullets! I can't foresee that exact use now but w/ sjhp's it's nice to know. It's use now is more for hunting & protection in woods (watch for backstop ). I carry in a 4" S&W and feel secure.
reliability, accuracy for use as personal defense

Installation of grips
Written on Jun 26, 2025
Had problems installing the grips. They are supposed to be a "drop in" fit. When placing the grips on the frame & pressing on them very firmly, there were large gaps w/o the screws. When Installing the screws it created gaps either at top or bottom. Your techs were concerned & helpful and provided a video of someone installing these grips. Unfortunately the actual installation wasn't covered. Finally before giving up I tried the screws again but alternated them v. gradually. WOLA!!! .
A great assist in less than bright lighing

I have a medium size hand so the grip supports all fingers. The rubber has a tacky feel ( Not sticky ! ). When griped naturally the laser turns on w/o thinking about it. The grips have a checkered pattern, similar to wood grips. The laser aligns well w/ the iron sights. I don't have strong lighting in my house so the laser is very visible. However outside in a bright overcast condition the laser is very hard to find and really not useable. It's difficult to coordinate aiming w/ iron sights verses the laser because the laser magnifies sighting error corrections, but this'll just take practice.
Good for moderate brightness

Leupold Katmai Sunglasses
Lenses are large and somewhat convex which prevents most bright light from entering from sides. They are not darkly shaded so staring at direct sunlight is fairly intense, but avoidable. The vehicle's instrument panel and surrounds are still visible. I bought these hoping for that. Not sure about reflected light on water. They are good for driving and comfortable to ware.
What I was looking for!

Had been shooting .38 spl & .357 158 gr loads in a snub nose. Looking for something in between. Saw Speer's w/ Short Bbl.+P 135 gr. The low smoke may indicate complete combustion in the 2" bbl. Unfortunately by the time these arrived, winter came. Will be waiting to see if 35 - 40 deg might come back once more.
Big Drivers for Little Screws

Grace USA 6 Piece Micro Screwdriver Set
drivers for tiny screws seem to be limited to"jewelers" and those w/ pocket clips. it's hard for me to hold these much less keep them engaged in the screw head while turning. these Grace drivers have handles large enough to hold and therefore enable control while turning the screws. since there's control there's also a feel for when the screw gets snug. the shafts are long enough to enable seeing the screw you're working on.

Great Solution to Great Problem
Written on Feb 07, 2018
was trying to rifle mount a long eye relief scope/ w Warne QD mounts & a TLR-1 HPL Streamlight in same area on 45deg. offset rail. needed to control light w/ support hand thumb. no matter where they were repositioned, always installation interference. saw this baby but was concerned about the 1/2" height & short length. put it on and was able to slide it most anywhere. it fits the TLT-1 perfectly! height was actually an asset for thumb activation of light. i can remove/ reinstall scope & light. NO Problemo. a VERY solid mount.
nice thought, poor execution

bought to replace original on tlr-1. sometimes when grabing rifle fm. rack i would trigger light in my face. wanted a "safe off" feature. on this modification the sw. lever is short and pointy. jabs into thumb, unlike the wide pads on original. with the stubby lever you have to feel your way around the batt. door to locate switching positions and they are difficult to operate. also the supplied gasket was way too thick to allow latching of batt. door.
