🥑's!

So I took my Bodyguard 2.0 to a GPA match, I do have to say it performed better than I expected especially for a pocket pistol, recoil was present but manageable, iron sights aren't ideal but serviceable (especially for long range shots) reliability depended on ammo, my gun does not like steel case but will run Winchester ball just fine.

I'm having trouble finding a replacement rear sight or sight leaf for a 36-1 I recently acquired. I used the parts diagram for the 36-1 on Numrich to order a rear sight assembly, but as you can see in my second photo it is completely different than what I have.

I'm having trouble finding this rear sight assembly or sight leaf for this assembly that matches.

Thanks in advance for any help!

My gunsmith broke three tools removing my front sight post today.

Hardest decision will be choosing what optic i want now.

Smith and Wesson model 10-5. Found this at my lgs I found the little note from the original owner and laughed. I paid a little bit more than that but it seems unfired and has all box and papers.

Hello everyone! I’m new to owning a revolver and decided to make a post. I did a lot of research over the past year and finally decided to make the decision of getting a 632 UC TI. So far it has been a dream. Even though 32 H&R magnum is a bit hard to come by where I’m from, I feel that it’s the best cartridge to carry out of a J-Frame revolver. Super lightweight, mild recoil, 6 shots, and solid ballistics. What’s not to love? I decided to pair this with a PST holster and a Checkerboard Creek Customs Smitty wing. Also to comfortably carry my HKS Speedloader I have a Last Resort Tactical R.A.C. 6-shot holder. Lastly I decided to throw in my knife to complete my EDC.

Took the carry comp out to the range for the first time and it was making good groups I guess

Did it shoot left like everyone says?

YES!

This gun was angry with me!! It cut me up bad. Wanted me to treat her bad but I was still gentle.

I think I need a beaver tail on this gun to prevent the slide bite

The gun has my DNA all over it now!

One lite prime strike but other than that it ate up 180 rounds. 30 were hornady hollow points.
I put that lite strike in the gun again and it fired.

What do you think of the groups for the carry comp?

7 yards standing slow shooting unsupported

I'm excited to try them out. So far, they at least look great!

Both are 2.5" and both are about $900 before tax and shipping.
I can't decide! What are your thoughts? I'd carry this gun as my EDC.

I shot my wife's 9mm EZ Shield today and it seems to shoot a bit low with a combat hold but overall the groups are good and the gun has a nice recoil impulse. This model has the grip safety and also a thumb safety.

I field stripped it to clean and lube when I got home but when I put the slide back on the frame I can't seem to get the slide to go back far enough to lock the slide so I can then flip the take down lever back into place. Weird. My M&P 2.0's reassembled like butter.

I am not depressing the beavertail grip safety and the manual thumb safety is disengaged as I move the slide back on the rails. The recoil appears to be centered and in place. What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: FIXED. I checked YouTube learned the trick, thank you! The end of the recoil guide rod is not perfectly circular like every other pistol I own. There is a flat side that needs to be in a specific orientation where it butts up against the barrel I had the flat side going up and down but it needed to be sideways. That did the trick! Thx!

My other post started fire storm because of my “dog shit grip” and the cut the body guard left on my right knuckle

Look at my grip and in general, what is wrong?

The body guard is so thin my right knuckle pulls right up against the slide. This gun will require I change where I place my right thumb or buy a beaver tail from eBay

I’ve seen many people hold a gun like this so what did I do wrong?

Excited for the upcoming BELT circuit….. lets get that bounty!
