Just won a very lightly used 640-1 on Gunbroker, wondering what is recommended for defensive ammo. Looking at .38 Special and +P only, planning to use the old Uncle Mike's combat grips on it. So far, I'm considering Underwood 125 gr +P XTPs, Underwood 158 gr LSWCHPs (standard and +P), and the Underwood 150 gr wadcutters that I currently carry in my 442-1.

Looking for a new daily driver in 357. I am aware of the significant weight difference. My main concern is the longevity of the titanium barrel in the 327 (flame scoring, etc).

Shooting this contraption sure makes me appreciate a modern revolver. I can't imagine what it must have been like having to deal with it under the duress of battle.

Horrible ergonomics and turtle like reloading aside it is a fun range toy.

Is this too heavy to carry daily? AIWB ideally.

Super red hawk 44 magnum with a 9.5 inch barrel.

I assume those tiny grips are to allow easier carry, can I put some big grips on the 2.75” Redhawk 357?

I have a lead on a pre lock 629-5, I think they fixed any “hot load” issue well before dash5 right?

What’s the “standard” grain range ammo for 357 and 44 mag ammo? I have some revolvers I honestly never got into shooting and I want to get them to the range

My family makes fun of the 1970s model 36 saying it’s “it’s a used gun why not buy a new one” they will never understand :(

I want to stress this is discussing a nonfunctional prop from denix

The juggling prop im using is based on the Single Action Army and came with some fairly cheap wooden grips (scales? handles?). I was hoping to replace them with something that is durable and threaded. The revolver came from denix with the two wooden parts held together with a wood screw, and so the wood pieces move a fair bit.

Ideally its just a black polymer situation, as im still learning to juggle and it gets banged around a fair bit. But if folk have any suggestions on brands to look at, im all ears. I dont need it to look "historical" or anything. It just needs to be hard wearing.

Bonus points if you can ballpark a price point.

Thanks again!

Hello everyone, I was given a High Standard Sentel by an old neighbor of mine. It's in almost mint condition, and I don't think it was ever shot by the previous owner (maybe once, he wasn't a gun guy). I've taken it to the range and put probably a couple hundred or so rounds through it. Out of every cylinder, I end up with about three misfires. Upon inspection, the rounds were struck but just didn't go off. They all ended up going off when stuck a second time. All this leads me to think the gun is light striking. How difficult of a fix is this? Is it something I should just let a gunsmith do? I really don't know what a fair price for a gunsmith to fix something like this is.

I have four Smith & Wessons. The 586 Classic opens and closes like butter. My Model 19 Carry Comp is a bit stiff to open. My Model 442 UC is also a little stiff to close. My 442 offers less resistance than the 442 Ultimate Carry.

While the Model 19 Carry Comp is a bit stiff to open, is that necessarily a bad thing? It shoots just fine. Lock up is tight and the gap between the forcing cone and cylinder is minimal. Is a difference from one revolver to the next common? Does it vary by frame size, generally.

My working theory is that the 19 Carry Comp and 442 UC are a more fine tuned and have tighter tolerances as a result. Is this something that others notice as well? Thanks for any insight or advice you can offer.

Just grabbed this 586 4". Went ahead and got this over the python but I'll be getting a 4 or 6 inch python also for the hell of it
