LVSteve- you hit that nail right on the head! I was using it in a hospital setting. I just tried it at home, and it was fine. Thanks to all who chimed in. I love this S&W Forum! Chuck

Hello. I have a new HP laptop running Windows 11. I can't access any shooting sites, getting a message that they are blocked on my computer. Anyone have a suggestion about how to break through? Chuck

I have a 67-3. The balance and accuracy are outstanding. It ain't going anywhere! Chuck

.38 Specials and the Model 67 go together like bacon and eggs. If you don't like bacon and eggs, we don't have a lot to talk about! (just kidding!) Chuck

I've only experienced this problem with .38 Special brass. Never had it happen with 9mm or .45ACP. It could be frustrating to have to stop reloading, hammer the primer remnants out (so the case would then slide off the shell holder). Curiously, this was happening a fair number of times 1-2 years...

Welcome! And I really like my 67-2. I did some minor slicking up of the internals (Thanks, Jerry Miculek). I like shooting .38's, but not .357's so much. The 67 is a sweet gun. Chuck

My (former) LGS sent out an email blast that it had "limited amounts" of 9mm, at the "give away" price of $39.95/50. Thank you, but no. Chuck

I love my 67! Great gun. Chuck

Regarding tax on components: There's a bill in the House that would add a 30% federal tax on firearms, and 50% on ammunition and components. I don't recall the bill number, but you could find it in the latest issue of "American Handgunner", in the Second Amendment column. Hopefully it won't...

My "local" Cabela's no longer stocks reloading supplies. And the nearest Bass Pro only had a handful of powders on a shelf- and none that I would need. Chuck

"Just my personal opinion, but for a self defense/carry gun, if I were going to have any kind of action work done I'd have a gunsmith smooth and polish the internals but retain the factory springs. This will smooth and lighten the DA pull but still retain reliability. It would also be more...

Some folks just don't want to hear the truth- like take a lesson, and/or practice! Chuck

Hello. I'm selling a black DeSantis Safety Star full leather holster. It is a perfect fit for a K frame S&W. It's in excellent condition, with only minor wear. Please note that it's a left hand holster. It lists for $135.99. I'm asking $85, plus $8 for packaging and Priority Mail delivery. If...

I guess I'm alone with the OP. I have a Model 67, shoot light target and defense loads, and I love it. If, God forbid, I have to shoot an intruder in my bedroom, I'll feel confident with six hollow points, instead of losing my hearing with .357's. Besides, I prefer a k-frame over an L. Just my...

Wow. I guess we're getting soaked up here in Ill-Annoys. Chuck
