I think that keeping the ammo shortage continuing has a great affect on financial leverage. You have a guaranteed sales proforma for the next several years. This especially works if you have a vertically integrated factory. You do have to meter commodities like lead and brass so you don't have...

Thank you answering the question.

The DA pull was off the scale having a 15 pound limit. The SA was an inconsistent 7 to 8 pounds.

My son bought a used 986 and it has a very heavy DA trigger pull along with a heavy SA trigger pull. I am concerned that because it is used someone may have tinkered with it, messed it up and traded it in. I shot two cylinders through it and when I went back to my 686 Competitor I prematurely...

My fail to fire with CCI has been very rare until recently. I have had 3 mis-fires out of one brick in the last two weeks.

No. I returned it to the store I bought it from.

Hello. I'm Jeff from Michigan working as a gunsmith in my own shop. Getting older (72) and looking to slow down at least to semi-retirement status. This looks like an active and informative site.

Last week I bought a Sig Romero3 Max Pro for a Smith 686 Competitor revolver. Shooting reduced load 38 special rounds I shot 300 rounds over two days and at the 300 round count the zero jumped 4 inches left and 2 inches low. I had checked the zero every 50 shots up to that point for zero and...

You have to look very close as there is a pin holding the front sight in.
