Welcome from NC. An older smith or any quality revolver usually trumps the newer wiz bang version imo provided the bore is good, timing is good and it has a correct lockup. Good hunting,

Phenix, my thoughts also. But still pretty cool. To the op, maybe get your artistic smith to add a solid steel base not as large but copying the general outline of the stone top. Would make it sturdier.

My ss Ruger Vaqueros rusted under the horn grips where they were in a safe that unfortunately was on my screened porch. Had desiccant in the safe. I assume it was the moisture being trapped in the buffalo horn along with the humidity. Rest of the guns were fine.

Not all guys who show up are scammers out to get you. After hurricane Irene in 2011 my yard was a total wreck. Trees down, power ripped off the house, broke limbs everywhere. A foot of water in the house before it blew by and the water was gone. Two guys pull up and ask if I could use help. I...

Agree. There is a bottom to the well. If you have a job keep it and save all you can. Cut back. Leave the cc’s alone. Play with the toys you already have.

Instead of blue steel and walnut how about brass, blue steel and walnut. It will accept a bayonet and sling but no picatiny.

An older iteration in 45acp that uses greasegun mags.My newest Foxtrot Mike/G21 mag build.

Uglier than pharting in church.

My tale of favorite .22 rifles would start with a beat up Winchester 67 [my first], then become a salty Browning T-Bolt. I could cut reeds with it in my youth when it had my 3x9 Redfield TV screen scope on it. But since my retirement I have these two favorites, a Winchester PreA Model 52 and his...

Never liked dot sights, prefer to paint or nail polish the front sight. I did go with hi-viz for my 625 that I was using for combat shoots. Black on black sights are hard to pick up fast.

Been using Hornady Critical Defense in my .38 spcl Jframe and Hornady Critical Defense in my .380 Mustang. Don’t know if one brand is better than another but they both have a polymer insert and when I hunted I had success with nosler ballistic tip bullets. They were lethal on deer.

Hi from eastern NC. A fine forum here. Pull up a chair and sit a while.

I tightened up my cylinder in a 617-10 by getting a better fitting cylinder stop if that's what you are referring to. But I can’t understand how wadcutters would affect your lockup. The 638 does have an aluminum frame so I guess a whole lot of aggressive double action cylinder rotation could...

Same old Mustang PocketLite.

^^^Agree with you. Why I installed a smooth target trigger on my 617-10 rebuild. Much more comfortable and easier to pull than what was in it.
