Thanks SoCalDep.

Did you use the S&W plastic plate or an aftermarket plate on the 10s? I used the S&W plastic plate on my 10MM with a 507K. I have less than 100 rounds through it and everything is still tight but I am not impressed with the quality. After reading about the problems others are having I ordered...

Wow! My experience is similar. I started in 1963. I had a Pacific C Press and then a Rock Chucker. I also had a Star progressive which I sold to buy a 550B. Now I have 3 Square Deal B's, the Rock Chucker, and the 550 B. All get used frequently.

The S&W 10MM is about the size of a 19. I just bought one. I only have a few rounds through it. So far no problems but it will take a lot more rounds to wring it out. It is much smaller and lighter than my other 10s which for me is a big plus if I want to carry it. If it is reliable that will...

Or a police holster. That could be a badge number or property number.

We bought 12 six inch 586s when they first came out. Mine came with a red ramp and the sight was part of the barrel.....no pins. My buddy's had a patridge sight.

Oh well! I guess we missed out on that brass.

Thanks guys! I just saw one at the LGS with a pinned front FO site and that's why I asked. I don't remember the older 63's being pinned.

I saw a Model 63 with a pinned fiber optic front sight. Are all 63 front sights pinned?

150 Grain Cutting Edge Raptor? Are they still in business?

I think we might need a test of pistol primers in long gun ammo. I can see two possible issues. Are they hot enough for reliable ignition and is the primer cap thick enough to prevent puncture.

There is a difference but it depends on the manufacturer. I think primers made in the US are less likely to be a problem. Primers made in other countries can be a problem. Recently I had a few hundred rounds of Egyptian Military 9mm ammo. It was manufactured for sub guns. It would not fire in a...

I find it incredible that this gun has been on the street for years and no one checked the bore.:D

Wow! I hope someone can explain why it brought that kind of money.

Jul Thanks for posting the thumbnail. I was concerned that mine was not locking up but after looking at your photo I can see that mine looks just like the thumbnail you posted.
