    Two piece barrel

    I agree with Scooter. While the vast majority of design changes (in almost any product) appear or in fact are to be to save cost, none of us actually knows whether that is the case with the 'two piece' barrel, and given its design it seems like it would cost more, no less. I don't work in...

    S&W 625-JM Catastrophic Failure/Accident

    Blaming a reloading press for this type of failure is like blaming your car if you have an accident. As someone else noted, obviously, reloading requires careful attention. This is why I load by myself standing up behind my press, no TV, no radio. If my wife opens the door to ask a question...

    .38 Special load recipes for IDPA?

    Federal primers with OAL at 1.500. I use around 3.3 gr Solo 1000 with a 158gr LRN bullet. I have used Dardas, Mid-Atlantic and Laser Cast/Oregon Trail. The latter are my favorite bullet but they are very expensive. I usually buy Dardas if they are available but he has a long lead time now...

    XDM 5.25 vs Glock 34 vs M&P Pro 5"

    All of the things you mentioned, inability to shoot lead in a Glock factory barrel (which is not true), lousy triggers and spotty accuracy all have solutions of one sort or another. Some of the solutions may cost money. Which one is best is a matter of personal preference. I agree with OKFC05 in...

    S&W Model 64 help.

    With the 2-piece barrel the muzzle will look like it has a "cap" on the end. For the Model 64 I think only the 64-8 is or was a 2-piece barrel. For the Model 67, for example, the 67-6 was a two piece barrel and now the new 67's without it are 67-5s. I believe that as long as you don't buy a 64-8...

    IDPA Holster Suggestions for Mod 19, 4"

    I don't like leather or IWB for IDPA and don't mind what kydex does to the finish. I use the Ready Tactical revolver holster Ready Tactical

    Do I have a Problem?!! Flame cutting? Worse? Help!

    They were expensive but I bought a set of brass picks specifically to clean around the forcing cone and other areas. Scratches don't bother me as the revolver gets used over time but I don't like the idea of scratching it on purpose if I can avoid it. Given enough time, Hoppes will eventually...

    Cheating Advice

    I'm not in LE but I don't think S&W made the PPC 5906 as a duty weapon. Aren't these 5 inch barreled 5906s specifically made for PPC or marketed for PPC? If it's an "accurized match gun" it should be disallowed according to the rules whether or not someone actually could carry it on duty. I...
