i have no idea... were there ever Tyler T's for I frame revolvers? A search turns up nothing. Looking for a T for a transitional Pre- model 30.

I just ran across a reference on youtube to the "long version" of an i-frame S&W. Is there such a thing, and if so, what is it? Or is it simply the writer's awkward way of referring to the 32 S&W Long cartridge?

Funny you should ask... I was going to post this today and might as well make it a response to your request. I own two identical 1911sc bought a few weeks apart in the Summer of 2020. Haven't had any time to shoot of late so gave them each about a 50 round warm up right after buy them, then...

Because Rossi beat them to it (the M720) and also did an uncharacteristically good job of it. I own one, and it is quite a well-made revolver with none of the customary Rossi/Taurus flaws. Just guessing, but I suggest S&W wanted to go Rossi one better, rather than appear to be a complete...

I refer to the 9mm as the King of the Mouse Guns... (only half-jokingly) The only 9mm's I own are as small as J-frames or PPKs, or even smaller. In fact, one is a J-frame, another a Kimber Solo (completely undeserving of its bad reputation), and... Oh, one P365; that's as big a platform as I...

First, contact S&W to find out what they can do and what the price would be.

I just bought the exact same 720 model a couple weeks ago at a gun show. It was a little sluggish but I guessed the lubricant inside had dried out and turned to glue over the years and that it had not been cleaned since purchase (quite likely from the looks of it, that it was either never fired...

How is this in any way relevant?!!

I removed nothing.

I cock it, pull the trigger and it fails. It must be pointed upward and several tries are necessary before it happens. So, why is it "obvious" that something needs clarifying? In your opinion, a failure is OK under some other circumstances??!!! S&W is responsible for this device and they need...

Why? What difference would video make?!

The gun pictured is a brand new Model 329 PD picked up from the transfer agent about three days ago. It remains UNFIRED. I was dry firing it. What you see happened while dry firing. I can reproduce the effect at will. Call it 'hating on S&W' if you like. Except for one Ruger Redhawk, I won't...

bump, please

I really hate to part with this... 696-No Dash This has been my beside gun for the better part of ten years. Grabbed often, shot little. Butter smooth double action and perfect single action. If you live in AZ and are willing to drive to Globe to get this, it is yours for $900 cash...

I shoot a lot of .44s. Nothing to worry about in those photographs. The good thing about the .44 Mag is that there is little reason to load them any hotter than factory and plenty of reason to load them down just a bit, especially with your lightweight frame. I save the factory loads for carry...
