My Governor seems to have problems with foreign made .410. It has no problem with any American made ammo.

I have about 20+ NEW S&W revolvers. No problems with any of them. They are outstanding firearms. But I do take a lot of time to properly check them out prior to accepting. I had a 629 I bought from Bud’s that had a timing issue. I found it at my FFL and refused the transfer. Bud’s sent a...

My 19-9 has a blotchy blue finish on the barrel as you describe. Probably the worst finish job I have seen come from the S&W factory. My 19-9 is a shooter and I really don’t personally care that much. I draw from the holster and shoot steel on my country property and it has finish wear on the...

Same here. I have 2 .40 Glocks and rarely shoot them. I saw a 4006TSW CHP model on gunbroker and decided to get it. I just recently got into 3rd gen S&W autos. I like the 4006TSW so much I ended up getting a second one. Great shooter. The gun is heavy enough it gets rid of the muzzle flip you...

Bud’s had them about a month ago or so. I snagged one before they were all gone. Mine was brand new. Great shooter. I hadn’t owned a 3rd gen S&W for almost 20 years. I liked my new 5906 so much I have since bought a CHP 4006TSW and a 3913 that’s in great shape. Now I want a 4013.

I have 2 617’s. A 4” and a 6”. I’ve shot up to 1000 rounds in each between cleaning with no functionality problems at all. Each gun may experience one or two light primer strikes per 1000 rounds but I have identified which ammo this occurs with. If I use higher quality .22LR ammo such as CCI...

I ordered one from Bud’s yesterday. It shipped today and will arrive at my FFL on Tuesday. Looking forward to it!

I have a new Python and it’s been outstanding. 1200 plus rounds so far, no malfunctions with 5 different ammo types. I am very happy with it. I have 2 Pythons from the 1980’s. I would say I like the single action trigger in the old guns better, and the double action in the 2020 Python better. I...

I have one and it’s been great. No problems of any kind.

Sure did, and your right, the new grips are nice but pretty thin. I personally like larger grips, especially on such a large revolver. The grip I put on the new Python is an Altamont grip I had laying around. And yes, it looks like grips are all interchangeable between the old and new Pythons...

Well, you can’t go wrong with a 629! 😃

Nope. No lock on any of the new Colt revolvers. I wish S&W would finally dump the lock!

YES! A 2.5” 19 Classic would be top of my list.

I got the new Python and it’s an outstanding revolver. In many ways it’s just as awesome a weapon as my two Pythons from the 80’s. Very impressive! I love my 25+ S&W revolvers, but this Python is fast becoming one of my very favorites! I would like to see something new from Smith come out at...

I have 2 Ruger revolvers in .327 Fed Mag. Funny part is I have never fired even one round of .327 Mag through either gun. I like .32 long for a light load to practice with and I shoot .32 HR Mag at the range as well. The .32 HR Mag is a nice higher velocity round with little recoil, especially...
