    Which long gun after a pre-64 Model 70 and a pre-Mil Savage 99

    You have two great rifles. Since you have a bolt and a lever, how about an auto or a pump ... Browning BAR Safari or perhaps a Remington 760 Gamemaster 30-06.

    The ultimate Model 19/66 Combat Magnum thread

    19-4 6" Nickel TTT My first S&W Revolver, a 19-4 nickel 6" Triple T. I also have the rear sight leaf with white outline. My other S&W is a 1977 Model 41 with 7 3/8" bbl.

    How much would drilling and tappping a 19-4 impact value?

    Thanks all, that's what I was expecting to hear; I won't D&T it. I had not heard of a non-drill option. Anyone have more information on a non-drill scope mount for a 19-4? Thanks, Keith

    How much would drilling and tappping a 19-4 impact value?

    I have a good to vg condition 19-4, 6", nickel, with Target grips, hammer, trigger and sights. It is not drilled and tapped. The model 19 started to be D&T'd with the 19-7. If I were to D&T it for a scope mount, how much do you think it would negatively impact the resale value of the pistol?

    19-4 - 1st firing of 158gr LSWC - horrible groups

    Alk8944, I did mike about a dozen of the bullets. Most were just a tad over .358" (none under .358) and one was .359". They are BH 18. I'll pick up some lead bell sinkers and slug the barrel and then drop into the cylinder. Thanks for this info. Keith

    19-4 - 1st firing of 158gr LSWC - horrible groups

    I have not slugged the barrel. That is on my list to do ... will pick up a few 1/4oz bell sinkers next time I'm in town. I did mike a few bullets; they run a tad over .358, a few ran .359. FWIW ... firing from 19-4 6", I chrono'd 7 rounds of each Unique load. The 4.2s averaged 820fps with...

    19-4 - 1st firing of 158gr LSWC - horrible groups

    I have a S&W 19-4 357 I recently purchased. I get good groups with Remington and Winchester 38 special 130grs. Today I loaded up some 38 specials with 158gr LSWCs with Unique (4.2, 4.4 and 4.6 grain) to try them out. Roll crimped at the crimp groove. .... horrible groups, at 25 yards...

    Point me to a recommended Model .357 mag

    Here's the first 10 rounds fired from the 19-4. I'm the OP. I picked up the 19-4 from my FFL yesterday (transfer) and just fired it from my bench. My first revolver; I've fired lots of 1911 .45 and .22 (S&W 41). I'm pretty happy with this pistol. I think I got a real deal for $300. A...

    This is what I ended up with; got a good price on this 19-4; I'll pick up a rear sight for it.

    Point me to a recommended Model .357 mag

    ' Gray wolves came within 100 yards of me the last two years while bow hunting. 4 years ago, I had two pass within 30 yards while walking rifle hunting; they avoided me and kept going. I would never fire at one unless it was coming at me, closing in with apparent intent.

    Point me to a recommended Model .357 mag

    I am the OP. Today I had a chance to handle 4 Rugers: SP101 4.2", GP100 6", GP100 4.2" and the GP100 Match Champion 4.2". I certainly now understand all the comments on the 4" ... just felt and balanced better than the 6". The Match Champion is a very nice pistol. I have not found a S&W...

    Point me to a recommended Model .357 mag

    Great feedback all. Thank you. I don't ever intend to shoot a wolf; but after they came so close that last two years, I want to have a pistol with me. I will certainly also give a hard look at the 4" M60-15 and Ruger SP101 ... you are right, if I ever have to use it, it would be in...
