A day at the range with my SW460XVR and my friends SW629 Magnum Hunter (on table). I happened to catch Mike bench resting while aiming at a steel plate at 100 yrds using the XVR with a 454 load. He missed the plate, but I captured the fireworks. All in all a great day !!

Buick, Great looking revolver you picked up. I'm in the "High Polish Camp". I had a 1970 (very used) Chevelle SS as a kid, but as long as the chrome bumpers and beauty rims were polished, I never noticed the dulling paint. I took the Mother Wheel Mag approach on my 3 revolvers and I am very...

Got back from the range a little while ago. The Prvi Partizan Ammunition 357 Magnum 158 Grain Semi-Jacketed Hollow shot well, accurate, nice kick to it but had a different odor (hmmm, not harsh..just different. The range is well ventilated so I'm good with it. I also fired a box of Magtech .357...

Thanks for the input everyone. I bought it from AIM Supply for $17.50/bx of 50. When I saw they were still in stock, I began to question if I was the only customer. Then I saw Midway had for a little bit more but the rep couldn't give me any details on it. So once again I find my answers...

Perhaps a two-fold opportunity.....1) Badly beaten stock and 2) perhaps the need to run "end of year promotions" to move inventory.... Here is the story.... Smith & Wesson Shoots Self in Foot with Q1 Earnings Report Firearm manufacturer Smith & Wesson (SWHC 13.10) dropped as much as 15%...

Hello all, Has anyone seen the "detailed" specs on the 627 V-Comp PC regarding factory trigger pull DA/SA? I am documenting trigger pull across all my handguns and I am having difficulty locating any specs on the factory settings for this and my Ruger GP100 Match Champion (I know another forum)...

I'm happy to say "it was the ammo". Fired 100 rounds of brass and zero problems !!! "The Lesson"?.....buy "Smith & Wesson" (and good ammo).

PetertheFish, I plan on running a few rounds though it again on Friday with brass ammo, the "Magtech Sport Ammunition 357 Magnum 158 Grain Semi-Jacketed Soft Point" was nickel (cause? don't know). Will keep you all posted. Thanks for the input. I would usually be concerned about a factory...

I bought a 627 V-Comp yesterday and was able to fire 60 (thrilling) .357 rounds through it. I live in NJ and have been waiting 9 weeks for additional handgun permits, therefore I can not take this baby home yet. Any NJ resident will know we are at a disadvantage for timing our purchases when...

627 V-Comp Just bought it yesterday and fired about 60 rounds of .357 through it......all I can say is WOW !
