I leave the powder in my electronic powder measure/scale (with a note as to powder type) but i remove it after each session from the powder measure. I thought i had read that it should be replaced as the measures use volume and not weight and the powder could slightly compress over time /...

springs! In emailing with Dickinson Arms I was referred to PISCO - they are in Oregon (PISCO - Home) They were able to sell me 2 mainsprings. I had hoped to pick up a few more just in case but apparently the factory in Turkey didn't share too many. Springs were $25 each. It was very easy to...

I had checked brownells and a few other sites. Now that i know i can get factory replacements i will wait. I have one working one already, so waiting for some springs wont be too bad. I also asked the rep if they sold the same chokes, he will be getting back to me as he had to check. Seeing that...

Well - for those few interested - I was in contact with a rep from Dickson arms - he confirmed that their Elite is the same as the S&W one. So - the broken spring i have can be replaced however he indicated that their supply is zero and it will be about a month and a half before they get more...

Hello - I have recently purchased a lightly used Elite Silver - I recalled when they had come out and lusted after them since. It was only after my purchase that i came to find out that parts weren't exactly that plentiful. I was lucky enough to have a friend that happened to have one of the...

When in doubt pull them out. I pulled well over 100 rounds after i blew up a kimber after a double charge. Wasn't able to find any clear bad rounds by weight alone, wanted to not have that issue again.

Were you able to see the page after you clicked "contact us" for faq #49? Thanks again for replies

When i try to access the 'contact us' section in the FAQ re: Quality Issue I receive the following.... "HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found. Internet Information Services (IIS) The page you have been looking for might have been removed, had its name changed or is temporarily...

I tried to get the contact info off their site however the page loaded with errors. I will try again tonight.

The ammo used was Winchester white box, 150grn LRN, not +P. (Edit: i think i previously indicated it was 158 - my mistake) I found a manual online and didn't see any mention of the use of 150grn out of the 642 (but i only had time to skim it, will read it later tonight to be certain) I looked...

Yes, it certainly has some snap to it. I bought it used and don't have the manual, now might be a good time to look one up. I didnt mention brand of ammo as i wasnt sure if this was known for this size pistol etc. I still think it shouldnt happen but if manual says dont do it, then i shouldnt. I...

Hello all - haven't posted in here for some time... I recently picked up a used 642-2 and so far, love it. (it fits well with the other S&W's -686SSR and 1911sc). I was using some factory ammo this weekend and the 5th shot never happened as the cylinder jammed. I opened the cylinder and...

oldman - i forgot to add I'm jealous too. Rpg - looks great ! (i had added the AMSH to my kimber - felt much better)

with how often i misplace my pens I'd be afraid to spend that much money on a 'tactical' pen. don't get me wrong, i'd love one but i'd probably chip a tooth or two when i go to chomp on it at work. it's only a matter of time before somebody spoofs them and puts a rail attachment on it with a...

That sku is for a perf center pistol.... that should be able to eat up any and all factory ammo without issue. Are you asking about +P ammo? or just regular factory ammo? I've got one of the 1911sc models that i picked up used not long ago - have only put a handfull of JHP's through it and...
