    Picked up a new production 642-1 no lock yesterday...

    I want one, too. There are a couple locally for $580 and $560, but I think that is too high. If I found one for $470, I'd do it. -0-

    A strange little 640 ,pictures

    They look like some Glaser Safety Slugs. I have some from when they were unbelievably low priced at $3 a pop, six to a package. They are small shot suspended in clear epoxy. -0-

    Model 29-2 4" in Nickel - Have a question.

    I have had a few nickle guns. Currently my only Smith nickle is a 29-2. I used to hear from guys that know more than me that Hoppes #9 is a no-no for nickle. S&W nickle is very good stuff. If I remember correctly, there are three coats of plating. Copper, chrome, I think, and the final coat is...

    Has anyone gone 100% revolver?

    I always thought of a fine revolver as a piece of art, and semi-autos more tool-like and utilitarian. There was a time when revolvers outnumbered my autos. Now i think its about even. Most of my autos are Sigs, while S&W are the predominant wheelgun. A single cartridge like .357 makes a lot of...

    My 625 is my house gun, and its moonies all the way. Fastest darn way to load/reload!

    I just bought a nrw polished stainless steel 1911 5 inch,Black Pearlite grips

    That 1911 is a fine looking gun. Let us know how it shoots. I really want to get one, but they are hard to find and kind of pricey. Nice choice!

    Went to buy a 9mm, came back with a .38

    Yes, you did the right thing! The last gun I bought was a Mod 64 two inch, my second one. I like'em too!

    Here is my newest Revolver. Finally i can add a Cal. 32 to my collection

    To Swissman; "No gun hunting anymore" At least you have left yourself an out. That is, some of the best guns are the ones you just stumble across when you are NOT EVEN LOOKING!! Ha!

    S&W revolver 45 ACP question

    Absolutely get one. My favorite is the 6 1/2 incher. Newer M-25's had 6 inch barrels. Just about any 625 is good, but I like the three inch. The 625 has a round butt while the older N-frames are square.

    There is nothing bad about a M-10. All pro, no con!

    Some interesting NEW auto loaders from the SHOT show

    The wood palm-swell grips sure look a lot like Roco Firearm Technology grips. They are in the Brownells catalog, page 166. I have a pair on a Sig 220. They do have palm-swells, and they are great.

    For home defense .357, .44mag or ?

    The .357 in the 125g sjhp load travels at such high velocity the bullet tends to fragment. The pieces travel separate paths, causing additional damage. The .44 mag over penetrates. Any more info than that and I will be forced to use footnotes!

    For home defense .357, .44mag or ?

    neither one. Too much blast and penetration for indoor shooting. However, the .357 is said to be a better man-stopper than the .44...Use the .44 on game animals. A big, slow round is better for home defense. If you have a .44 mag, use .44 special Winchester Silvertips or Speer gold dots..
