    WTS 1951 K38 Combat Masterpiece 5-screw

    I've decided to sell my 1951 Pre-15. It is a great gun but has become a safe queen for me and it deserves someone who appreciates and shoots it more than I do. I am a home-based dealer though this is a personal gun. The story behind this is I purchased it a few years ago from a retired Detroit...

    Gen 3 DAOs...is the trigger that bad?

    One of my first gun purchases was a former CBP 5946 many years ago. I liked that gun, the trigger was decent and it shot well. Frankly, it was a better trigger than a ton of the DAO stuff out there today (Ruger etc). If I were to carry one I'd go DAO since I really dislike the slide mounted...

    52-1

    Just a couple of quick thoughts since it's been some time since I last played with one. -Check the trigger reset and sear springs -There's a pre-travel adjustment under the rear of the trigger, hex if I remember correctly, that setting can be sensitive to getting grunged up -Check overtravel...

    Quick value check, 52-2 .38 wadcutter Targetmaster

    I appreciate all the feedback. I'm aware of the ammo issue, I don't currently reload but used to and was planning on doing so again. There is a mold for sale with it though I have zero experience with molding bullets. I'm meeting the seller at a range to see if this works for me. Thanks again.

    Quick value check, 52-2 .38 wadcutter Targetmaster

    That's the impression I got too, needs a buyer. He's asking a grand, my guess would be 850-9 might take it...I just don't know if it's for me. Still, it really is interesting to me.

    Quick value check, 52-2 .38 wadcutter Targetmaster

    I have a line on a 52-2, used but very good condition, one mag. No box as far as I know. I know nearly nothing about these other than they don't often come up. I know what the catalog says, but does anyone have current market value on one?

    FrogLube?

    I've used froglube, it works fine, but I'm a bit usure of what all the fuss is about. I ended up switching to Slip 2000, also non-toxic and non-petroleum but doesn't have the cloying smell. As others have mentioned, any good product works well.

    1951 Combat Masterpiece 5 screw

    I appreciate the comments guys. I'm not looking to sell and am actually looking for a matching target masterpiece to keep this one company.

    1951 Combat Masterpiece 5 screw

    I'm the second owner of the following pistol (purchased from the widow of a police officer) and was just curious to its current value. It isn't collector grade, there is a turn line on the cylinder but apart from some very slight bluing wear at the muzzle and on the cylinder the gun is in great...

    *SOLD* Alessi APX black for M&P 340/J-frame

    I've an Alessi APX holster in black for sale. I sold the gun I use it for so the holster is also up for sale. This is probably my favorite holster of all time and I currently have 3 others on order for various guns. Slightly used but still looks perfect. Made for my M&P 340 but should fit any...

    *SPF*WTS M&P 340 No Lock .357

    I've decided to sell my M&P 340. I purchased this new about 9 months ago. It has since been my daily carry gun and shows some mild wear from it. Any wear is purely cosmetic and shown in the pictures, the gun functions wonderfully, timing is dead on, very tight lockup. First I'll take it. Round...

    S&W M&P340 better than LCR 357? YES!

    I can't disagree with what you've found, I have a 340nl also and absolutely love it. I carry it nearly every day. I haven't found a snubby I can shoot nearly as well as this one.
