HKS Speed Loader #10 can be found easily at amazon. HKS makes a medium size case holding two speed loaders too.

Mine was made in 1964 and the way they make the newer S&W revolvers mine is priceless. :cool:

My firearms were legally bought and the last one in 1981. They, the government and or authorities, are welcome to look for all the literal ‘paper work’, but I will refuse to submit any of my firearms for registration under my Constitutional Rights that protect me.

I wear only Carhartt B01 pants which are both union made and made in the USA. Make sure they are the 'Men's Double-Front Work Dungaree and B01'. :cool:

I have four hand guns two are loaded and I check all four weapon at least once every week.

This is the hardest thing any dog owner has to do. My current dog a Pit bull mix I rescued (I was the fourth owner when she was just 8 months old of this abused dog) and she is 11 years old now and the most affectionate dog I have had (she is the fifth dog I have had). I am 68 now and she will...

I am not an employee of Smith and Wesson and I say what I please about the company. The recall has more to do with a ‘Legal Liability’ and I also believe from experience ‘If it’s not broken don’t fix it.’ The ‘New’ S&W revolvers with a ‘lock and key’ on the side plate next to the cylinder...

This is a legal liability for S&W and unless they recall all 686 with this potential problem S&W will be liable and the idea that they would no longer honor this recall is absurd. As for ‘qualified gun smiths’ S&W has a problem here as well as in their production facility. One person has...

As I posted earlier anytime you ‘open up’ a firearm for repair you risk a faulty gun smith having a bad day and having your firearm repaired for one problem and coming back with another. I have a 686 no dash and would only send it in if it had a problem. The ‘Recall’ is only a liability...

As a retired Union Journeymen Mechanic I would not send my 686 (no dash) for service unless I had a problem. Any gun service always has a risk of anyone having a bad day and I feel the same way about automobile repair. If it does not need it, do not open it up. ;)

I have a Model 15-3 and use standard .38 ammunition; I am fortunate enough to have a 686 (No Dash) for a .357 if needed.

I have both the S&W Target grips and stock grips and for my purpose to carry a .22 as ‘Kit Gun’ I use the original grips when I put this firearm as a part of ‘Kit’. ;)

I have one too and is a favorite of all S&W's.

I have a Model 15-3 which I bought new in 1967 and I still have it. It is a great revolver.
