The biggest blemish on the gun is on the grip and after shooting it Saturday I discovered where it came from. The brass being ejected hits right there. (you guys probably know that already though) So the advise to get some rubber grips makes 100% sense and that is exactly what I will do. I shot...

Your hand and eye are not my hand an eye. Each is different and each will feel more comfortable with a different gun. I had never owned or even shot a Glock before until recently. I owned a Ruger SR9c and thought I shot it well... and loved it... and defended it against those I termed "glock fan...

I go to the movies and I pay around $10 bucks to get in. I go to the gun show and pay $6.00 and am just as entertained. I get to spend the whole day browsing and handling guns. Some that I may not get to see anywhere else. I also take a list of things I may need or want with the retail prices of...

I saw this S&W advertised locally and approached the seller with a trade offer. I gave him a Ruger Sr9c with a holster and 8 spare magazines and got this model 19-3 +holster and about 150 rounds of .357 magnum ammo. It's the first revolver I've ever owned/shot and I love it. The SN is 7K...

I placed a maximum bid of $625. It sold to someone else for $700. Thanks for the info. I will definitely know a little more going in next time.

It's listed as a 586. Here are a few more pics.

I don't know much at all about revolvers but I stumbled across an auction with many Smith & Wesson's available. About the only one I might be able to get in on is a stainless finish 586. From what I've read and seen on youtube the 586 is a great revolver but they all say it's a blued gun. The...

I HATE ProMags for my pistols. I will never buy another as long as I live.

My Shield is a little finicky to reassemble too. I sometimes have to take the slide off and readjust the recoil spring assembly before it works smoothly. After a while you will get a feel for it and have no problems. Until then, don't panic if it doesn't go back together at first... just start...

Thanks arjay for actually answering my question.

I want to swap out the full length guide rod/spring/bushing with a GI length short guide rod. What parts do you recommend and from what company? Thanks, Kevin

Love mine. Plain Jane or not it puts big ol' .45 slugs downrange just fine.
