I ordered an all black set of the VZ high horn J frame grips and decided to put the set from my 432UC on my 442-1 in the meantime. I almost think I might prefer the red ones. Kind of gives me 3rd gen Detective Special vibes, having fat grips on a snubby.
I inherited this Smith & Wesson from my mother, who got it from my grandpa. Unfortunately i am not super familiar with the older S&W models. It is in .32S&W long. Any help would be much appreciated.
Palmetto State Armory is running a deal on 686s right now. 699 before taxes. Best deal I’ve seen in a while🤘🏻
Picked up a S&W Model 638-3 the other day. The caliber stamped in the barrel shows “.38 S&W SPL”. Now I know .38 S&W and .38 SPL are different and not interchangeable. However I’m not completely certain if it’s good to shoot .38 SPL. Am I good to shoot it or do I need to find ammo that specifically says .38 S&W Special?
Can anybody I’d this for me? It is the one John mcafee had in one of his interviews.
4” one is a 19-7, well used and very nice trigger, very smooth. 2 1/2” one is a 19-3. Same as above. NFS.
Hey guys new to revolvers I want to replace my rear sights on my 586 L comp. I bought the gun used from someone else. I took out the three screws on top but the rear sight still won’t come off. Am I missing something?
Looking to get everyone’s 2 cents about this topic.
A short barreled revolver might be better because it’s quicker to draw and is lighter to carry.
But a long barreled revolver would have less felt recoil and muzzle flip, a longer sight radius and higher velocities.
Hello gentlemen, I’m in the market for an ultralight budgetish 38 special to be my athletic shorts carry gun and I’m stuck between the ruger lcr and a Taurus 856 ultralight. I much prefer rugers pedigree for revolvers but the Taurus holds 6 rounds instead of 5 which I really appreciate and it’s noticeably cheaper. My dad has one of the Taurus’ in the black finish and my cons for it are the finish is really bad and the sights are also pretty bad but I’m not sure how old his is. Do yall have any input? People seem pretty divided on Taurus being awful or good to go these days.
(I’m also considering an lcr in 327 federal magnum instead)
Thanks in advance!!!!
Well, I picked up a new Colt King Cobra .22 lr 6” last week (late 2024) to keep my S&W 617 company. I’ve run 2,000 runs through the Smith without an issue. The Colt, on the other hand, immediately blew out the side of the first round’s casing resulting in tiny shrapnel and a large cloud of smoke—it did this for ten out of ten rounds (see photo). Nice job Colt 😏
I determined the extractor star slots are bored out larger than the cylinder chambers (see photo). This creates a situation where pressure is concentrated in a small area for each round resulting in the ruptures.
We’ll see how Colt handles this, and/or the GunBroker business with 22k reviews I purchased from.
Thoughts?
Ok so I’m going to buy my first s SAA, I want it in .45 L, what manufacturer do you guys recommend? Is Taylor or Cimarron good? Or should I stick with a ruger. I have also been very interested in a birdshead.
I have a S&W Model 29-10 and the factory grips are some of the worst I’ve ever had the bad luck to use. Love the piece, hate the ergonomics of the OEM grips. What’s everyone’s recommendation for a better feeling/more ergonomic grip set?
Hi guys, i went shooting for the first time with my revolver (Holek 841) and stumbled upon unpleasant problem. 1. lots of rounds i tried to shot did not go off and had off-center mark on primer, which i dont think is normal, secondly if it did go of, cylinder was hard to rotate with trigger push, it did not even let me pull it like it was blocked and the notch on the bottom, that locks the cylinder either didnt sit well, i was given advice that i shuold try to clear the ejector rod, if anyone wants to help me i could provide photos, thanks, im in my ends with that gun
Have model 64 , thinking it will be looking cool with acid wash finish. Any suggestions?
Also want to pair it with watch , have citizen chandler, any ideas how mineral crystal will react on acid ? Should I do it?
In y’all opinion what would be the best 2 “production “ 357 mag on the market? let’s say 1 above 1200$ and one sub 1200$ Edit those are new prices unless you can only find them used now
1 by production I mean mass produced
2 you can find it rather easily. Its not something that only 1 or 2 men in country x make and you have to be on a list
3 barrel length of 4+ inches
4 aftermarket support
5 reliable
for those of you who have owned/handled both the s&w 629 deluxe 3” and the ruger super redhawk alaskan 44 mag, which do u prefer and why? been thinking about either one of those for my next purchase and just can’t seem to decide on one or the other.
Coworker gave me his mint model 28-2, with box, tools and papers! Absolutely in love..
