Does the 686 Pro with the cylinder cut for moon clips require the moon clips for 357 and 38 special? Also, since moon clips are used can 38 super be used in the revolver?

I got a chance to shoot a friend's LCR 38 today. I have to admit that I really liked it. We traded guns for a few days so I will try it more throughout the week. I have been carrying it in my pocket to see if the wider grip would bother me. So far I don't really notice it being there. The...

I didn't get to dry fire them. I couldn't even open the cylinders. They had them locked. One of their employees was killed showing a gun a while back and I guess they have really tightened up their policies. I have fired a LCR 38 about a year ago. Like any snub, the recoil was snappy, but the...

I had a chance to look at a 642 and an LCR 38 side by side today. I am going to buy either one of these 2 or a 442. They are almost identical in size except for the larger trigger guard on the LCR and the larger grip. Both felt the same in my hand. The Smith seems to fit my front pocket a little...

How does a 642 fit in the front pocket of shorts or pants compared to other small guns? The only 2 small guns I have are a DB9 and a PF9. I'm sure the DB9 would fit better, but what about compared to the PF9?

Thanks for the help. I got the gun about 30 years ago new as a gift and have probably put less than 60 rounds through it. I was given a box of 38 S&W ammo with the gun at the time and for whatever reason thought that was what it used. I have bought one box since then. It fires the ammo fine, but...

My mistake. I have been using 38 S&W and I just checked and it chambers both 38 S&W and 38 special. All these years I have thought that was the only round the gun would use. I feel really dumb right now. So, I could use either in it?

But the gun only fires 38 S&W. It won't chamber 38 special.

I have what I have always thought was a Model 36 snub chambered in 38 S&W. I can't seem to find any background on the model. Everything I have read states that the Model 36 came only in 38 special. Can anyone point me in the right direction?:confused: Thanks

Would this work on a 22tcm with a double stack magazine?

Converting the RIA 22 TCM/9mm to also fire 38 super sounds interesting. Which lbs recoil spring would you need with the 38 super barrel?
