    M&P 22 compact

    Brought one home the other day and got to finally shoot it. I must say, I am IMPRESSED. I love this gun. Not one issue with it on its first outing. Ate everything I fed it, was very accurate with it. S&W did a fine job on this pistol. My wife and daughter keep me busy finding .22lr ammo as...

    Midway magazine shipping disappointment

    This type of shipping is called Mail Innovations. I just had an issue with them myself today. I live about 90 miles from Midway...and ordered last Wednesday. I received my package this evening in the mail box. Way to long if you ask me for being somewhat local. I spoke with a Customer...

    .44 mag ammo questions

    Thanks for all the replies and suggestions. I am fairly new to revolvers...but I would hate to think that shooting lots of rounds the gun was made for is a bad thing. I am not shooting thousands of rounds at a time through it. If the gun can't hold up to 100 full house mag rounds every month...

    .44 mag ammo questions

    I have been shooting my 3" 629 Talo and loving it. I have shot mostly magnum loads through it. The mag loads I have been shooting are the Hornady 240g. XTP's. These sure are a handful in this gun. I have shot .44 Specials through it and there simply seems to be NO recoil with those. My...

    Ten shot 4" 617 ??

    First I am not authority on such things, so may I ask why you have to drill and pin this sight? Isn't it a simple part swap? I have been considering doing this to my 617...thus my interest.

    617 sight change

    Ed, No...I am only 37, but I have a 2 eye disease's that are robbing me of my sight and also eye movement control. Believe it or not, shooting is therapy for my eyes...so I am going to do it until its no longer safe...which hopefully will be a long time from now. I have read many others state...

    617 sight change

    I am giving serious thought to changing out the sights on my 617. My eyes are to the point that I have alot of trouble with the stock sights. I am leaning toward's the Hi-Viz sights. My concern is that this changes out only the front sight. My thoughts are that the rear blade will not be...

    629 3" Talo .44mag

    Jesse, I took advantage of some natural light and flash in the gun shots. I waited until late in the afternoon when the sunlight would be coming through the window in my home office. I pulled down the shade to that window (its a white shade) which mutes the sunlight but allows alot of light to...

    629 3" Talo .44mag

    Thought I would try to capture some muzzle blast shots near dark with my "little" .44mag. Due to the slow shutter speeds (I didn't take my speedlight with me) some of the shots have motion blur in them, but the muzzle blasts came out ok for my first attempt. My brother was the shooter...

    This is the one I will be getting! Thanks a million...a few others on other forums suggested this same rig. It appears to be exactly what I am looking for.

    Holster for my new 629 3"?

    Richard I went there right after buying this gun...they have one listed for a 4", but not a 3". I was hoping to find an exact fit, may not be able to though.

    Holster for my new 629 3"?

    My recent purchase of a 629 Deluxe Talo 3" .44mag has me looking for a holster for it. I would prefer a shoulder or chest mounted rig for this but as of yet, I have not been able to find one. Granted, revolvers are new to me...but I just can't seem to find one. Recomendations and or reviews...

    Overtightened barrels. A big problem?

    I just recently bought my first .44mag, 629-8 3" Deluxe. Soon as I opened the box (ordered it) I looked at the barrel and saw it was canted. I showed it to my dealer and he said that more and more he is seeing S&W come in with canted barrels, more with it than without it. It bothered me...so...
