Thanks, I found a tutorial with pics and am thinking maybe this is more than I want to bite off, what with the fitting of parts, etc. It looks like you have to do some detailed disassembly just to get to the part. I can do Glocks and Ruger SR's not sure if I'll tackle this. Thanks a mil for...

Thanks for the help. Wondering if this is something I can do myself with the right parts. Gonna look into it. Thanks again.

My son's 659 has developed an issue wth the safety. With an empty mag in an empty gun and the hammer cocked the hammer won't drop when the left side lever is actuated and yet remove the mag and it works every time. The right side (left-handed) lever will actuate the drop, but feels "sluggish"...

Just got a Shield last week for wife. I find it's easier to lock slide back, push disassembly lever down, close slide, pull trigger (as in Glock) and the barrel/slide practically shoots off the frame. I don't even fiddle with the sear lever gizmo. But YMMV, as they say.

It'd be a long drive from Idaho, but I wouldn't mind a trip to heck's and back, just for a peek.

Thanks alot. I'll check with S&W.

If the 45 GAP is indeed dead, please send me all your brass and I'll see that it gets a proper burial.

Thanks for the help, I knew it'd be worth coming here. I did see the Desantis on S&W site and it wasn't exactly what I wanted but have some options now. Appreciate the input.

Anyone here carry this gun? Mine has factory adj. rear and hi-viz front, full under-barrel lug. I can hit pretty good with this gun and need ideas for both an OWB cc holster and a range holster. Looking for something "off the rack" if possible as I know a guy locally who can make me custom...

Just joined. Have owned S&W firearms for many years, but wife brought home her Christmas present, a 3 inch Mod 60. Don't know that much about J's; currently have M27 & M19's. Hoping to find some info here @ how to reduce what must be a 15 lb D/A trigger pull on her new 60. So, guess I'll go...
