You sleep with a gun on your hip? You take it in the shower? You ever exercise? You do that with your gun on?😊

How’s it compare to the 1.0? I know the trigger is lighter but I mean feel and recoil between the 2? My 1.0 has been flawless and it’s shot almost nothing but my own reloads. Don’t shoot it more than 7 yards and it’s mostly yank and crank to simulate self defense shots. They all land in a...

The 2.0? How has it been treating you?

Do they still allow off duty revolvers? 1992 was the last duty revolver but off duty revolvers were allowed until 1996, I believe. In 2018, the hundred or so guys still carrying duty revolvers were forced to get the 9MM.

The NYPD issues 135 grain Gold Dot +P ammo for the few guys still carrying an off duty revolver. Last guy who could be carrying one would have about 29 years on the job so there aren’t many left.

I know what a shim is. Just never seen one or really where they go to make them Work. In all the many revolvers I’ve bought used, I’ve never had one in the gun.

Here you go. Just a couple of quick snaps. I’m no photographer. Gun is really clean. I tore it down and it wasn’t too bad inside but surely needed a full cleaning. The previous owner had a shim in the cylinder that I’ve never encountered in all the used revolvers I’ve owned and tore down. I...

Cylinder is back together. Thanks for the help! First time I’ve seen a shim in all the used guns I’ve bought. Guns seemed really tight. Obligatory pics:

The entire cylinder was taken apart. I've done it on every used revolver I've owned.

So pop it in the hole of the cylinder when the rod is out, make sure it's flat, and just assemble the cylinder, as always?

Ok. And where would I put it back?

Serial 1D72890. Thanks.

I just grabbed one today. In very nice shape, but I always break down used revolvers to see what's going on inside. This one was reasonably clean, but still had some old grease and oil in there. I took it all apart and gave it a sonic cleaning, and it is now drying in a case dryer for my...

I’ve rescued quite a few revolvers. Seen some nasty stuff under the sideplate from well meaning owners squirting oil into the action. But cutting coils off rebound springs and filing down strain screws? No thanks. I figure S&W engineers knew what they were doing. I get maybe trying out a Wolff...

Or a bit of dirt or powder under the ejector star that is gumming it up.
