I have dealt with a few S&W Bodyguards here in the shop, customers having problems with them cycling properly. I sent 3 off to S&W so they could work them in their custom shop, polish feed ramps etc......overall no real help. I think you really have to find the ammo it likes and stick with just that brand.

The Walther's are a really nice firearm most I have seen run smooth and reliable. I am partial to the small Kimber's myself, basically small 1911s and we all know how great that platform is.

Check out the Micros....this "Bel Air" is trying real hard to find a home here lol ( I have always been enamored with the 55 Chevy Bel Air ) I prefer a toned down version for myself but I have to be realistic when dealing with small handguns around here. I have multiple safes full of guns and all the small ones tend to disappear and end up in my wife's possession Kimber America | Micro Bel Air

Evening - - - grabbing a 1/2 cup of ph00 - - too late for more. Been running all day. Off to meeting at 7am, doctor at 10, friend's mother just died and I had to get to their house to help plan the funeral for Saturday. They asked me to conduct the memorial, so need to plan out my notes tomorrow and put the order together to get ready. Need lady - - her husband was amazing -- he died about 10 years ago. He built a gorgeous tri hulled sail boat, 42' long, at his house. He retired and his wife and he sailed across to Europe, down to Africa, across to S. America. Lived on it for something like 3 years before buying a home here in Florida, but they still would take long trips in that boat. I could not believe he built it at his home - - looked like a professional poured hull. Wow. It was very nice. Great family. At least he was ready to meet his maker, and now his wife is with him again. Great end to the story.

Wrapping up my day and heading to the beddy bye. Morry.

Good morning from Paradise where we are still enjoying great weather, in spite of it being crazy March.

Coffee and ph00 is almost ready. Be patient. It is soooooo hard to wash out the dried up crud from the old stuff that nobody drank.

Bob, seems to me that you are having too many not so nice experiences lately.

Anybody experiencing any warnings about insecure connection to DTR? Mine started yesterday and can't seem to fix it.

Off to start my day. See yuh.

I started getting the same warning about 3 days ago. My laptop did an update of some kind and that is when it started.

Another very busy week ahead. POTUS is dropping by speak in Louisville. Guess I'll be back in the Command Post again. I kinda miss the days of actually working patrol. (Unless it's cold, rain, snow, hot, windy)

-9° and clear. Getting tires of all this cold, we are supposed to be in the 30° by now. Off to another day of doing things other than what I need to do.

One of the advantages of being a "big boy", I can carry anything I want. My preference is a SP101 or XD9 Service. I have carried much large.

I can conceal my .40 XD sub compact in jeans and a tee shirt or 1911 in winter clothes.

Kinda just looking for something smaller, more comfortable, get off of me gun.
