    US Customs Service 686 CS-1

    Hello Folks, I came across a CS1 today 3" and I had to get it after reading all of this for a long time. I have wanted one of these, I just never came across one until today. Apologies for this question if it has been answered already, but what I don't understand is this: inside the crane it...

    Needing 45acp/Bullseye powder suggestions....

    4.5 grains of bullseye with a 230 grain LRN bullet works perfect for me. It is extremely accurate and will cycle in my SW1911 & a couple of Kimber's, my 625-4 model of 1989, my 25-2, 1917/37 brazilian contract, my Governor, the list goes on. Honestly, it has become my favorite powder for 45 acp...

    Tyler T Grip company shutdown - shipping again

    I said if I received my T grips, I would inform folks. Well I have them now but I am less than happy with them. Not all of them but 2 or 3 do not fit snug as the older T grips I have. So my apologies for saying you'll get ripped off. I didn't get ripped off but I wasn't quite happy with that...

    Tyler T Grip company shutdown - shipping again

    I have been waiting 6 weeks or more now. The real kicker is that when he told me he had them in stock, he (JR) stated he would mail them USPS the next mailing day which would have been a Saturday morning.

    Tyler T Grip company shutdown - shipping again

    The Latest Victim Well, like an idiot I didn't look for this thread or do a search for any response on Tyler T grips & now I have paid for it; literally. I paid for 6 T grips and have received none. JR won't return phone calls & if you order from this company get ready to be ripped off. My...

    WTB Models 14,17,19

    Email sent, check your spam folder it may go there. FYI I have never seen a recessed M14 as it is a 38 SPL, but the M17 & M19 are both recessed & all have pinned barrels.

    Model 625-4 in 45 Colt disappears off Gone-broker

    I posted a link to that auction too when it came back because I thought the owner had canceled the auction. He did but it was still live at the time and my post was deleted. My bad, didn't mean too. I'll make sure not to post links at all to any auction expired or otherwise. That way I won't...

    M25-2 barrel length question

    My 25-2 has a 6 1/2" barrel. It is a Model of 1955. I don't have the SCSW (w/e it's called) catalogue to give me a date but I am fairly sure it is early 1970's. It is a great shooter, I love to take it along with my 625-4, & even my 1917 or 1937 (same mechanically to me) to the range. The only...

    S&W 581 no dash/need advice

    581 For $425 a 357 magnum in my area is a great deal. If you are buying one here it will cost somewhere between $500 - $600. If you add the matching box & grips (assuming functionality is good obviously) it is a guaranteed $500 - $550 purchase plus tax. Where I am we do not have to pay $13 or...

    Model 19-5 2.5" value?

    It's too high for me but I have also been known to pay too much for a gun that I really wanted. I would offer him $500 and meet him in the middle @ $550. If you really want the revolver. He has no box or anything else as you say, the blue book value is $550 for a 19 in 100% (that means box...

    Taurus revolvers, any good? Opinions appreciated

    I had this same model and I didn't get a lifetime warranty for the gun. My cousin was shooting mine & using CCI Maxi Mag in it and had a case to blow up in the cylinder. I think he was shooting DA when it happened. It hurt his hand but thankfully he had gloves on which offered some protection...

    .41 magnum

    I really like the 41 magnum. I have a M657 and a M57 in a 6" configuration. Ammunition is expensive as all get out to buy, so you have to reload unless you are rich ;) I find that these shoot really flat and very well but even reloads on the light side tend to be stout. This caliber is almost...

    Smython???++PIX ADDED++

    I'm pretty sure that is why. I can't remember anything out of the ordinary. Everything looked just like my 19-4 without the Python barrel. I believe he just didn't want his serial # photographed and this is probably why b/c it would be here on this forum, maybe copied and put on other forums...

    Smython???++PIX ADDED++

    More Pics Added I saw this at a gun show this past weekend. I took a couple of pics; the man selling it wouldn't let me take pics of it with the cylinder open. I did look inside the cylinder, there was no ball detent. This gun is a 19-4 and serial started with 9Kxx or 7K can't remember. He...
