I use FMJ in all my semi-autos because in my mind anyway it is going to be more reliable and I feel more defensible in court than HPs, should it come to that. It's been stopping men in all calibers for a long time. And no, I don't worry so much about over penetration. You can't have it all in...

I'm sure a believer in this concept as you can see below. My reason may be different than some though. As I age I find that the fewer manuals of arms I need to remember and practice the happier I am. Plus, being able to count on muscle memory in the hopefully slim chance of an emergency is...

PUI maybe?

That's beautiful! Is that a 3", and is that a round butt? I thought the larger frame revolvers only came square.

I should say up front with no lock and never had one. Otherwise I'd be plunking money down for a 325PD right now. Years ago, late '80s if I remember right I had a beautiful stainless .45ACP revolver but it's long gone. I also remember having a blue one in a presentation box, maybe model of...

Will any of the old round butt grips fit the newer aluminum and scandium frame revolvers (642/442/340PD) with no modification? And, is there a J-frame grip that is any easier to conceal than the newer rubber grips on the aforementioned revolvers? Can anyone explain to me exactly what a "boot...

In my personal case anyway, you have not been misinformed. As I have aged a bit I have become (like many) subject to bouts of vertigo. The last one, which lasted several weeks, was brought about by simply watching a bit of a strobe at a concert on my big screen TV. I can only imagine how...

I'm trying to find some .357 SD ammo online and evidently it's now made of unobtanium. What's up with that?

+1 on what Tom said for sure. You did fine on the price. Around my neck of the woods they run 369.99-399.00.

Can anyone clear up something for me on the Speer rounds made specifically for "short barrel" revolvers? Are they loaded hotter in order to make up for less velocity from a short barrel, or are they loaded lighter to make recoil more manageable on a short barrel gun? If it's the latter, does...

Joni that was my bad for not looking at the date of your post and I apologize. I just wasn't thinking about a ghost thread popping up. It probably wouldn't have helped me anyway if I had noticed, because I just got back into my guns a few months ago and until the didn't even realize the IL was...

$850. They're spendy for sure.

I concur with this. If you'd allow me to make an unsolicited suggestion, since you're already buying a fairly expensive gun with the M&P spring the extra couple hundred bucks and get the 340PD. I can't imagine a better revolver for pocket carry. Mine weighs 14.1 oz. loaded, which happens to be...

That is incorrect. I just bought a brand new one, current production about 3 weeks ago. The S&W catalog # is 103061. You may have to tell your dealer which distributor to order it from like I did. Here's the distributor who overnighted mine to my dealer. They'll send you as many as you can pay...

I'm just looking for any suggestions for online ammo sources anyone has had good luck with, i.e., inventory, price, shipping, service, etc. I'm sure there are many good ones but I've never bought any online before and even in a huge metro area I'm not finding the selection I want. Or maybe I'm...
