SPECIALTY TOOL I MADE
It’s for a Walther P38 22 caliber. The thumb button on the Walther is very small and is hard to use, kind of like the button on a Ruger Mark 22 pistol. I bought a Maglula magazine loader but it takes to long and is too mechanical. With the key I’ll call it, you just put it in, turn it to lock it, then just push down as you drop the shells in, turn and remove. I put the clip on so you can just clip it in your shirt pocket when done.

Joe, it works if I select this option. Not sure if this dialog is available to everyone, however.
Are You A Firearms Dealer Now??
Brought to you by the "safer communities act" passed with the help of 14 RINOS. So if you live in a state that has one of these RINOS, remember them in November.

2nd best. The best info is here on these forums and it's always free and flowing. 😁
Re: just saw on the ticker.....
You are free to express your opinion here, but to say "I wrote it knowing it was likely to get slammed. But I did not write it to be inflammatory for the sake of it." sounds to me like you knew it might be inflammatory… either way, the folks that are no longer here were deemed to be posting just to get negative reactions from other members, even after being warned. Go on and keep posting your opinions, many of us do regularly, but not for the sake of inciting others… it can be a fine line and the staff here, including myself have to make judgement calls based upon the guidelines and what we see posted, not what someone's intentions may/or may not have been. Nothing wrong with rocking the boat once in awhile, but I'd recommend getting to know who is on the boat with you before you make them sea sick.
Re: just saw on the ticker.....
Nowhere in the Constitution are you endowed with a right as long as the government approves of it. Those rights laid out in that document are those that are protected from the government, not ones that need to be approved of by the government.

Sold all of mine to a carload of illegal aliens now that they can get them legally. The day before this announcement.
Re: Revolver Recommendation
I used to work with a lot of women and since I was the "Gun Guy" they would often ask me for recommendations on first purchase, personal protection firearms.
My standard answer was that I would no sooner tell you what firearm to buy than to go out and buy you a dress.
When I gave you the dress you would say that it isn't the right size, it doesn't fit, the color is wrong and it is too long/short.
The dress would hang in your closet and would never be used.
The point being simply this : If you don't like it you wont use it.
I also tell them to remember back when they met the man that they finally settled down with. They dated a lot of guys but when the right one came along they knew that this was the one because something clicked.
A gun is a very personal choice. It has to fit and be comfortable to use. A gun left at home because it is not correct for the individual is no good to anyone.
A "J" frame revolver in .38 special seems like a good choice until you shoot it. I am a very good handgun shot and also a revolver guy. I practice with my J frame because it is the most difficult gun I own to become proficient with.
Women are also the most delightful people to train. They take instruction well, ask intelligent questions, and most importantly they have no bad habits.
A man that shot a handgun on grandpas farm in 1980 will shoot that way until he dies. Never mind that they can't hit anything. Men are hardheaded and sometimes stupid as they will not take suggestions.
Take her to a range that rents guns and spend some money and time to let HER pick out the one she likes the best. Spend a little extra money and time to make a one time purchase instead of a mistake. When she picks it up and shoots it the look on her face will tell you that this is the one.
My departed wife liked a Sig 238 with the extended magazine.
In her later years when she lost some hand strength she went to a S&W Shield EZ.
Just my 2c.
This is a busy place this morning!
I've got gobblers gobblin', Ma & Pa Mallard quackin', Mourning doves cooin', Canadian Gesse honkin', killdeer making whatever noise it is that they make, and last night the Wilson's snipe were whoopin' it up.
This morning while out doing chores I could hear at least 4 Toms gobbling. Hopefully I can get a picture of the Snipes to share. They're elusive little buggers.
