there is no problem to solve. Just trying to reduce the amount of ammo to be used for sighting in

Looking for a laser boresight that will work with my mod. 41. I see there are several types out there and would like some feedback what has worked for those in the know. Thanks

Yes I agree that it needs to get lettered. I will look into that. I have never done it before. Thanks for the advice and input!

On the left side of my 15-3's frame it is marked SCPD. Hopefully the attachment shows it well. Does anybody out there know what this stands for? I am getting tired of people asking me this and not knowing the answer. Thanks for any help here.

Looking for an 8 round SS mag for my 639. Can have either a metal or plastic baseplate. 8 round only. Thanks. Ship to Iowa

extractor springs and pins for 39 series Thanks and I would like to order some items from you. I will be out of town until sunday and then I will get in touch with you.

Needing an extractor spring and pin for a 39-2. Are they the same parts as found on the other 39 series pistols eg. 59 , 539, etc. ? Thanks for your replies.

Thanks everybody for the complete and fantastic info. You "experts" and this forum are the greatest and I am not just blowing smoke.

639 magazine Thanks for the reply. That makes sense. Do you know of any source for the 2nd gen mags?

Just acquired a 639 which came with an 8-round magazine. would like to compliment with a few more mags but can only find them in 9-round capacity. And those were still in the original S&W packaging. When did the switch to 9 rounds happen. My pistol was made in 1987 and the 8 round mag says Smith...

Thanks for the info.

I just purchased a Model 59 that is marked CDI SCTVL KY on the left side of the barrel towards the muzzle end. Can anyone enlighten me as to the significance and meaning of this marking. Thanks. I will add pictures if I can figure out how to attach.

Any experience with the LaserMax sights

Thanks for all the replies . Looks like she will be getting either a 642 or 442. How do the LaserMax sights stack up against the Crimson Trace grips. She is not crazy about the Crimson Trace grips but may change her mind.

Looking at the M&P BodyGuard 38 with the integrated Crimson trace vs a LaserMax sighted 642 or 442. Does anyone have any insight as to the pros and cons of each system. She does not like the Crimson Trace on the grips. Thanks
