Picked up my Smith 627 at the gunsmith on return from vacation. We recently replaced the MIM bobbed hammer with an Apex Evo IV hammer as well as installed the Apex Competition Firing Pin (for Federal primers) and also installed a Miculek spring kit with balanced mainspring and trigger return spring. Had some initial problems with mainspring set screw backing out during firing leading to some light primer strikes/misfires. A bit of blue loctite and voila, problem fixed.
Also recently picked up a DAA competition double belt rig with magnetic holster and magnetic moon clip holders. Took some dremel work to get the holster retention mechanism to accept the 627 trigger guard dimensions, everything working hunky dory now.
Looking forward to SCSA match at then end of the month.
Also have a Defensive Small Gun training course coming up with local training venue on May 19th. As a glutton for punishment, will take my Smith 642. Right after that have an advanced handgun training course that I'll take my 627.

Training day today. Morning class on Defensive Small Gun. Taking my Smith 642 in pocket holster with a couple speed strips. Looking forward to getting some training time specifically with my EDC gun. Afternoon class is an advanced course for review of draw and marksmanship fundamentals, improving rapid fire shooting, shooting on the move, and shooting on multiple targets at varying distances. Taking my Smith PC627 for that class and also using a new DAA holster rig (double belt) with magnetic Alpha-X holster and magnetic moon clip holders for the first time. Time to vet the new equipment and start getting used to running it. Gonna be hot in South Central Tejas today, 92 degrees with high humidity. Gonna have to suck that up for the sake of burning powder

Took a newbie out to the range. BIL from California. He is a conservative but never shot firearms before. He shot 2x 38spl, 1x357 mag, 2x 9mm and a .45ACP. He absolutely fell in love with the CZ75.

The girlfriend and I went to Paul Bunyan last night, as I had a couple rifles I needed to sight in.
Had an interesting experience. Apparently Paul Bunyan bans the open carry of firearms that are secured in a holster. My girlfriend had her Shield in a level 2 retention holster, and the RSO barred her path as she was heading to use the port-a-potty and forced her to disarm.
Claimed it was a safety issue. Because forcing someone to remove/unholster a firearm and remove the mag and clear it is so much safer... the RSO said if it was concealed it wouldn't have been an issue.
I'm pretty livid at the whole experience and am seriously reconsidering my membership there. I can't find anywhere in the by-laws or rules that state open carry is not allowed. I've been a member for almost 10 years and have never had this issue before.

I've been a member for almost 10 years and have never had this issue before. This proscription of open carry seems to be the norm, or is at least common at rifle clubs. Get active in the board meetings of your club and push for a rules change, or just conceal carry.
