    My Old School EDC

    Very nice. I love J frames. It's too bad that Federal doesn't make Nyclads anymore.

    Spring kit for a newbie

    If you're new to revolvers, be sure to use proper hollow ground screwdrivers. Brownells sells screwdriver bits specifically designed for S&W revolvers. Don't use standard screwdrivers from the hardware store because they can slip out of the screw heads, causing damage to the screw heads, and...
