Fantastic revolver; need to start working on my upper body because this thing starts getting heavy after a while with that long thick barrel.
Which would you buy for concealed carry?
Question about the grips on my new to me Colt Cobra, 2018. I'm thinking about switching the grip. The gun has the factory grip which is the Hogue rubber grip. I like to tinker and I like nice looking and nice feeling things. But, I also appreciate function. Would replacing the grips with wood grips result in an uncomfortable gun to shoot?
I have some big changes to make when i upgrade the stash…
But right now i’m waiting for a while before i purchase my next 2.
& then i’ll add some Wooden Altamont grips & exchange them around to add to the aesthetics.
I've been wanting to get a model 327 TTR8 but I have smaller hands. I can handle my model 586 no problem but never held an N frame. My main concern is if I'll have to reach for the trigger so to speak. Any advice?

Hi! I have a 1979 Taurus 66, I currently have a pair of houge rubber grips on the gun but it’s not a perfect fit, I was curious if anyone has any recommendations on good rubber grips, I was looking at these Taurus 65 grips since the 66 is mostly the same, if anyone has any recommendations that would be great!!

I want a revolver to carry. I know they are not the same but these are the options I have. Pros and cons of each to carry? Opinions?
Hey all, New to owning a revolver (just took home yesterday), but not new to firearms.
Doing dry fire with my new Smith and Wesson model 19 carry comp and noticed something that might be nothing, but concerned me enough to ask.
I noticed that sometimes, the firing pin will not retract while dry firing. It is not isolated to specific charge holes in the cylinder, and it appears to be random. Will happen in SA or DA.
Is this a phenomenon just because of dry firing? Or is my concern that it hangs with live ammo valid? Haven't gone to the range yet but hope to try it out soon when I get a weekend off from work.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for poor formatting as I am on mobile.
15-4 (that’s pinned) and 15-6
I have to confess; I've never especially liked shooting J-frame revolvers. They look nice enough and they're some of the easiest guns to carry, but they're generally a handful to shoot and not particularly fun at the range. With Lipseys recently debuting their Ultimate Carry series, however, I was lured in by an excellent feature set and a modem S&W that wasn't afflicted with that hideous internal lock. Six rounds in a J-frame was also a welcome addition!
A dead front sight out of the box necessitated a trip back to S&W, and turnaround was about a month. I was concerned about some reports of light primer strikes that I'd read about, but I'm happy to say that I experienced no hiccups. 150 rounds of mixed 32 S&W Long and 32 H&R Magnum went off without a hitch. The sights were excellent, the chamfered cylinder chambers made loading full wadcutters much easier, and the reduced recoil of 32 Long/H&R Magnum was noticeable and especially appreciated. This is the first J-frame that I felt I could shoot relatively comfortably for hours at a time. The action was smooth too - decidedly smoother than a stock 642 I had a little while back, and comparable to a previously owned 1980s-era Model 36.
As with all of my J-frames, I was having some difficulty with my trigger finger hitting my thumbs and causing a short stroke. I''ll have to play around with thumb tucking /placement or swap to a set of Pachmayrs for comparison's sake. All in all though, these are some of the best J-frames S&W has ever put out IMO. Especially in 32!

I was reading about how their was a company called PAST that had recoil protection gloves. Looks like the perfect sort of glove a revolver enjoyer would want. However, the company is gone now. And their doesn't seem to be anything that quite fits the bill that I can readily find. Any suggestion for recoil mitigating gloves? Particularly something that does a good job padding the webbing of the hand.
