I've never heard of a Model 292...can you provide more details? It looks like it has a Bodyguard-type configuration, but there is no slot for the hammer.

Thanks,

Dave

Kahr K9 9MM upstairs, Kimber Elite Carry downstairs, and a speed six in the kitchen, I never want to be too far from safety

Currently a 6.5" M624 on my side of the bed and a 6" M10-5 on the wifes side of the bed.

Double-O-Dave I believe Revolver-King meant Model 242 as I see a 7 shot 38 spl L Frame Centennial..
The only other revolver S&W made that looks like that is a Model 296 which is a 5 shot 44spl..
I also note that His Titainium cylinder has been cut for 686+ Moon clips.. Plus I see a Big dot nightsight & CTC Grips..
Great Pic of a Great carry Piece..

The Gun I have closest to were I sleep currently is a Beretta92FS with a 3" 686 sitting right beside it.. Just In Case!!

RK and DOD,

I think the model number is actually 242. I hadn't heard of it before either, though I knew about the 296, which is a similarly hammerless .44 special (five shots, like the fabled 696).

In these titanium models alone, the "hump" completely encloses the hammer. They resemble the Bodyguard style, but they are functionally DAO Centennials.

RK, is the moonclip feature original with your gun, or is that the result of after-sale smithing?

Edited to add: Headknocker, you got there a minute before me. Thanks for the additional observations about this interesting L-frame. I think I may want one.

Mine vary, most of the time it is a 4" 64.

Glock 23 with 13 rounds of Remington's 165gr Goldensaber's, and a spare magazine on the holster

Don't worry, there is also a 624 close at hand

25 mtn gun 45lc 255g SWC

Nice thing about a nightstand gun is that size and weight is pretty irrelevant, as opposed to a carry weapon.

Mine has varied, from 1911s, to a 627, to a Bond Arms Derringer loaded with 410 3" 00 buckshot, to the current favorite, an FN Five-seveN 5.7x28.....20 rounds of sound and fury and not a lot of sheetrock/innocent-bystander penetration.

Whatever I've been carrying. Lately, that has been a Model 12.

Thanks for the information. I wasn't aware of the L frame models and configurations.

sawed off double barrel 10 guage with buckshot and a colt 1911 in 45acp.

A 1990 SA Standard worked over by my retired Coast Guard Gunners Mate friend with Ranger 230 gr. JHP's, no round in chamber. Reason is for safety as my grandaughter cannot cycle the slide and I want to be awake and aware if and when trouble comes. Also a 870 riot loaded to the hilt with OO. no round in chamber. Cell phone a must also.



A 3" 657 in the living room with 210 gr. Speer Gold Dot's.



Also a alarm system to assist my 85 lb. American Bulldog buddy Bruno. We sleep VERY secure at night!



Merry Christmas All!

With all the S&W's I have, this is the one I keep there....Logic? If I have to use it, a S&W will not be kept by the Police!!!
It really is a great pistol!

Usually the 5N7 with 20 rounds of 40gr V-Max because of wife and grandson in the house.



But sometimes I have the DW on duty, but usually will have the 4" barrel installed.


The main reason for the FN is without a round in chamber and the manual safety it is pretty secure around a 4 year old if he got hold of it some how. Also the 40 gr V-Max are not big wall penetrators and that might be useful in the house.

I don't like nightstand guns. I can handle guns in my sleep and they scare the heck out of me. I keep an M-16A1 clone across the room and I can grab my 629 out of the safe if I want to instead. Two or three steps across the room, in order to get the cobwebs out of my head, are a good thing IMO.

S&W Model 66Combat Magnum!

My side: EAA Witness .45 ACP loaded with Remington Golden Saber 230 gr. HP.

Wife's side: M67 with Federal Nyclad 125 gr. HP

Various others where they will do us some good if we aren't in the bedroom when TSHTF.

Anyone know much about Federal HydroShock boolits? I have a couple dozen in both 230g and 165g and I've been tempted to switch from the Silvertips to those. I don't need the latest and greatest, hell, it's a .45acp and close range at that.

Don't use either if you don't know they're 100% reliable in your gun. You have to fire enough of them to find out.

Currently, a Glock 22 with Glock tac light attached. Stored in a small electronic safe not secured to anything, but with a motion alarm. Lately, I've been thinking maybe I should switch to one of my lesser value S&W revolvers (64 or 681) so a burglar don't end up with a loaded Glock 22. However, I can go out tommorrow and buy another G22 just like the one I have, no muss, no fuss. It would take some doing to find a replacement no-lock S&W.

Oh, they feed well. This Sig eats everything and I've fired them all. I'm damn near convinced this Sig would feed a caliber other than .45acp if I asked it to.

My question is about effects on BG's, not feeding.
