Good advice. Luckily she has shot in the past but mostly with 9mm and 22 cal pistols. I actually have some different types of 38 special ammo currently so she can try a few to see what works best for her. I just wasn't 100% confident I could use +p's without damaging the firearm in the process...

Hi all, I recently picked up a Model 10 through J&G. This gun is to be a home defense gun for my Mom. I was wondering if it would ok to fire +p's in this revolver. I have done some reading on the forum and found some mixed responses. I currently have a variety of +p's for my 642 but just don't...

Very nice. I am waiting on one just like it but in black for my 642.

I put a set of Taurus m85 grips on mine. Cost me $5 and cover the backstrap. No more difficult to conceal than the standard grips. I usually pocket carry so I wanted a grip with no more length. Haven't had a chance to shoot it yet but they do have a better feel. Fbird

Depends on what I am wearing. Cargo pants I prefer pocket carry since I have extra pockets to carry my other stuff in. If I am wearing jeans I prefer IWB since I need a pocket to put my phone in. Sometimes it depends on where I am going. If I'm going to have to leave my gun in the car because I...

PM sent. Do you make a holster for a Taurus Mil Pro PT111? Fbird

Thanks for the response TLG. I will definately post some pics if I get one. Sipowicz, that holster looks great. I have a similar set up for my 642. Holds the gun real tight to the body. I can wear a regular fitting tshirt and there isn't any printing at all. I hope he makes one for a Taurus...

I'm looking to purchase this same holster for my 642. How well does this conceal in just a t-shirt? This will be my first OWB holster. Looking for something more comfortable than the IWB I have currently and hoping not to give up concealability. Its amazing how easy the j frame disappears with...

Thank for the tips! :)

Thank you for the explanation. I really appreciate it. What did you use to cut the grips? Do you feel these are a better option than some of the other grips out there such as pachmayr, hogue ect.?

Are these the ones marked J synthetic full size grip w/ S&W logo? When you trim the "3rd finger" off are they good for pocket carry like the standard grip? How much improvement do you get as far as recoil? Is the rubber so sticky that a tshirt will catch on it if I carry IWB? Sorry for all the...

j frame iwb holster I just purchased an IWB and pocket holster from RBKA holsters. Very nice work and I received it in about 3 weeks. Heres the link: S&W J-Frame fbird

Wow! I never expected that many responses that quick. This site ROCKS! Thanks for the feedback. Sounds like this will be a great defense round with no worries. I might pick up some of the 158 grain at some point to try it out. I definately won't firing a large amount of the Buffalo Bore at over...

Hi All, I'm new to revolvers and Smith and Wessons. I recently picked up a new S&W 642 and was looking for a good defense round for concealed carry. I picked up some Buffalo Bore 125gr +P's. I've been doing some reading on the internet and have seen some folks warn about using +P or at least...
