    Sights for high power service rifle competition?

    If you are serious about 'Service Rifle' competition, you should consider getting a purpose built upper receiver just for that. I've had really good results with the Krieger 1/7 free float upper with 1/4 moa sights from Compass Lake Engineering. Compass Lake Engineering, Best choice of weapons...

    Well any love for the Smith 422/622

    Check out the 2206 as well. Same frame, only in Stainless Steel. The 4" shoots right where it's pointed and so far has not had any issues with ammo. The newer 41 magazines fit the 622, 422, 2206 and 41. Extra bonus, you can replace the barrel nut with a thread adapter to add a suppressor if you...

    S&W Model 63

    The Hunter 1100-8 series holster should fit the 63. I particularly like that the holster can be removed by straps that snap without having to remove your entire belt. They come up occasionally on e-bay, as a matter of fact there is a used one offered now. The Hunter holsters cover the trigger...

    S&W Logo Holster for 60-9, J Frame Magnum

    I've been looking for a S&W Logo Holster for 60-9, J Frame Magnum. S&W stopped manufacture of their leather products way before the J Frame Magnum made it to market. I was lucky to find a new-ish S&W 21-42 Holster which was originally made for a Colt Agent. The 21-42 Holster is a perfect fit!

    My 'grail' pistol, HK P7

    The P7 Series is amazing for what it is. Highly accurate, very fast, very safe. It does have some drawbacks though. It gets supremely hot after a few magazines. It needs to be kept clean as carbon builds up in the gas cylinder and needs a special scraper to get the crud out, often. There are not...

    Model 65 with .002 B/C gap

    This is something I would strongly consider... "As a used revolver, I suspect you may find the cylinder may have had some Power Custom endshake bearing shims installed. They are hard to detect, as they slip down the central bore of the cylinder and rest against the internal face. Work great, but...

    Winchester Q4296 38 Special +P+ 147gr. JHP

    I assumed that was a carton number. I opened up all 10 other boxes I have and the only stamp in any of them is 6PD61.

    Winchester Q4296 38 Special +P+ 147gr. JHP

    "This round is fine in any S&W .357 Magnum, and its limited use in any 38 Special (including Airweights) will not cause any problems. Extensive use will cause accelerated wear. There is no danger, assuming the ammo is properly manufactured, and assuming the gun is in proper shape, of a...

    Winchester Q4296 38 Special +P+ 147gr. JHP

    What do I have here? Its a white box with black lettering marked 'Winchester Q4296 .38 Special +P+ 147gr. JHP 50 Centerfire Pistol - Revolver Cartridges'. Also marked 'For Law Enforcement Use Only' and 'Not For Retail Sale' and 'Pressure Levels Exceed Industry Standards'. I assume this will be...

    Blew up my 629 today..embarrassed

    Dutch, good read and very informative. I just started reloading and have taken much of what you experienced to heart. Glad there was no bodily injury. When I finally saw a picture my first though was 'that will buff right out'. Best wishes...
