    Your least favorite S&W revolver

    Don't think I have found one yet.......Like 'em all. If I had to sell one, simply had to, it would probably be......a..........Taurus 856.

    Your least favorite S&W revolver

    Bolt hole? Please explain, I am not familiar with that term. Also how did wadcutters enlarge it? Thanks

    J Frame Grips

    I have a new 60-8 3 inch; didn't really like the factories. Had an old pachmeyr compac laying around; like it better than the factories. Fills my hand a little better. Just put on a set of hogue monogrips; seems to point a little more naturally haven't shot it though so I don't know yet if...

    Your least favorite S&W revolver

    not a smith, sorry, but I had an sp101 3 inch. trigger pull was around 14-15 pounds (my scale goes to 14 and it was off the scale). had to use two hands and a small crane to pull back the hammer to cock it for single action. changed springs and got it down to 12 pounds, but that still was too...

    Pocket Pistol

    Yeah if it is truly concealed how would they know if you are carrying? Unless they have metal detectors and security at the front doors but how likely is that?

    S&W Equalizer Shoots Low

    Change aint all that bad. Gives us old farts a new challenge to keep our minds focused and sharp. One of my biggest fears is for my mind to go to mush for lack of use. I already sometimes to forget things, like where are my keys, or the name of an actor that I should know instantly, without...

    S&W Equalizer Shoots Low

    I dunno about the gunsmiths. I have a 380 EZ and a 9mm EZ that were made around the same and both subject to recall due to a problem with the way the hammers were made. Sent the 380 back and got it back within two weeks and if I read the "work done" paperwork correctly, they replaced the hammer...

    S&W Equalizer Shoots Low

    Had an equalizer, same basic problem. Not sure if this is your case, but when I used a proper sight picture, sights lined up straight across it would shoot low. I read somewhere that the dots didn't coincide with the top of the sights being lined up; the orange dot was a little lower. Same...

    S&W repair question

    You can also email them with the info. I recently did that with 2 M&Ps (one 380 EZ and one 9mm EZ) that were subject to recall (they were both made in the same time frame with hammers were subject to breakage) Sent them an email, day later they emailed the shipping label for FedEx, sent them...

    J Frame Grips

    Take some time and learn to use it like it is before you consider grips. I have bought a few aftermarket grips and usually go back to the ones they came with. Only gun I have with other than stock grips is a model 60 I recently got; part of the reason is I don't really like the curve of the...

    Need help choosing good 1st Revolver for a beginner..

    Stainless requires less maintenance as far as finish, they make a special cloth to clean stainless with, and with stainless you can really see the crud so it's easier to clean. As far as sunlight, it is brighter but it doesn't reflect like, say, a mirror. The newer dark finishes (I can't call...

    Need help choosing good 1st Revolver for a beginner..

    I also picked up a NIB Model 60 3" with adjustable sights that is a sweetie as long as you keep magmuns out of it. Hot 38s are fine (I use mostly wadcutters) but the Magnums hurt.

    Need help choosing good 1st Revolver for a beginner..

    If you can find a late run 66 combat magnum in 2 7/8 (3) inch or 4 inch you might consider that. By late run I mean the nomenclature would be 66-8. I picked one up that was made in 2018; doesn't look like it has been used much. With the -8 (don't know if that was the first model they did...

    Another disappointing gun show

    I did, however, find an older set of Pachmyers for a J frame for 15 bucks.
