I have a Fury II and was looking to either get it to readily accept S-12 mags, or mod the same 12-rd mags to fit this platform. Here are some pictures I took tonight. Feed angle seems exact, pictures don't really do it justice, but many of these angles and widths line up (wasn't able to confirm with my precision tools. Again, these are CFII mags...

GUYS, I ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY FRIGGIN' CHAIR.......... I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THAT "FLOFP-FLOFP-FLOFP-FLOFP-FLOFP" SOUND THAT A FLAT TIRE MAKES. JESS1344 Sorry... I have a tendency to not "sugar-coat" things...

Nope. The idea of a laser training pistol/kit is to build the nerves up and make drawing and acquiring your target second-nature. -

That's kind of a gray area at this point. I wouldn't recommend practicing with live ammo anywhere else but at a range or out in the country with an appropriate backdrop. I'm suggesting something along the lines of one of these products to practice target acquisition: http://www.laserlyte.com/collections/lts -

Most of those lasers that I've seen project a steady beam to allow you to dial in a scope to align it with the bore, but on those applications, we're talking about longer distances, more in line with hunting or pest control (four or two-legged vermin.) The advantage of a strict training pistol is that you would not have to re-chamber a laser-shooting round manually after working the slide while practicing. -

They help, but the rotation created by a rifled barrel will cause your bullet to naturally drift toward the direction of the spin, so they're not exact. If anything, they help to get you close to zero, but you still have to manually dial in your scope with live rounds. Shouldn't be much of an issue with a close-range defense tool, though. -

As with anything, practice makes perfect. Lackadaisical spraying of bullets may work, but is no way to effectively (and safely) defend one's self. This is especially important when the possibility of shooting an unintentional target is likely - be it a family member in your home, a neighbor, or even your TV (the last of which would be the most desirable of the three, of course.) You can purchase a "dummy" pistol that will pop off a laser dot to practice without using live ammo - they're not cheap, but neither is collateral damage. Plus, given the cost of ammo, it should pay for itself. D -

They're damn fine guns - glad you picked one out. It's also good that you tried out JHP rounds in it, last thing you'd want to find out is if your pistol has a feeding problem with hollow points when you need it the most. The laser's main purpose is to allow you to acquire your target with the gun's actual sights quicker. Generally speaking, it's not intended to replace your gun's sights or optics. In another post that I didn't quote, types of lasers were discussed, and the one that goes "under the barrel" you mentioned is probably the LaserMax "guide rod laser" - it replaces y -
We have a .410 Saiga with the Promag 30-rd drum at the shop right now, and it is loose as a Kardashian coochie. Even with a Slide-Fire Saiga stock, it works relatively well, but a shim makes a world of difference when put between the receiver and front gap of the magwell. The drum still wobbles to either side, which I really don't like, and a fix for that will no doubt be my next endeavor on this particular setup.

Not necessarily. There are other options that will even fit on a standard 5.56/.223 lower that allow more than a single shot. -

Oh, for sure - Judge and similar guns are specific purpose firearms, and damned good at their intended purpose. It's wise to keep the cylinders loaded in a specific order so that they can handle a threat in a calculated order. Plus, they make excellent trail guns for hiking where you might run across a poisonous snake (and I have to stress this here - most snakes, and spiders for that matter, are NOT dangerous to humans, and live their lives out by removing far more troublesome insects or disease-carrying rodents from bothering us.) Still, they're nice guns to have. -

More durable than a black oxide finish, for sure. I thought you were in the market for a self-defense tool, though... In that case, the only things you should want to be easily visible are the sights, in my opinion. -

A .50 BMG is something I would never want to bump fire unless I had Tony Stark's Iron Man suit. As far as finishes go, I tend to go towards dull, black finishes on any survival tool. If you're going to have to shoot someone, you should not advertise that intention with a shiny object beforehand. If you're buying a plinker, toy, or anything with collecting or sheer sporting intentions, get whatever looks best in your eyes. Home defense, however, keep it dark and keep it dull. -

Actually, it's rather easy to close a wound like that. You simply close the casket lid.
