Not so much the 3" Model 19. I purchased the the new 3" Model 19 (Carry Comp) and, last I looked, it was still showing up on SW's website..

I've seen a couple of references to insurance companies paying the $73 million. For example: "The $73m amounts to the full amount of coverage available from Remington's four insurers." Families of Sandy Hook victims settle with Remington - BBC News. So, nobody had any skin in the game except...

Timely Thread I just picked up my 3 inch 547 today. I'm bad at estimating percentages but the only thing wrong with the blue is the turn ring. The photos don't really give it justice. I paid $695. P.S. Were these regulated for the 124 grain bullets? I usually shoot 115 gr rounds in my...

I got real lucky. I stopped by the local money pit yesterday and saw a 3 inch round butt 547. I knew it was an unusual gun but had not realized how unusual until I did some Internet research. I called back this morning and they put it back until I could get there this afternoon and put it in...

I have 115 gr. Winchester Silvertips loaded right now though I use Gold Dots in several other guns of various calibers. I carry in two holsters: a DeSantis "Tuck This" and this one from RafterS:

My 4-inch Model 27-3 was my first "real" handgun I owned. I don't count the RG I bought when I was a student. I think I've holstered it twice. It has seen the range a bit and worked as my nightstand gun for many years: Funny, I went into my favorite gun store today and they had several Model...

Since Smith and Wesson gives a limited warranty for a year, they would still have to comply with the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act. Ruger, which does not give a warranty, does not have to comply with the Act. One of the key provisions of the Act is that it requires companies to provide an informal...

Congratulations on your purchase! As for mags, a lot of people swear by the Magpul Polymer Mags (PMags). They may be a bit hard to find. CProducts makes a mag with an orange, anti-tilt follower (Magpul follower) that is good.

Nice rifle! You asked about optics. Not an expert but this represents perhaps the holy grail of AR optics: http://www.trijicon.com/user/p...k_row=4&categoryID=3 If you don't mind paying more for the optics than the rest of the rifle.

The 15T version has a folding front sight and free floated front quadrail. The 15X has the A2 front sight (birdcage fixed front) and a quadrail which is not free floated. Free floating the front rail is more expensive to install but allows for the mounting of optics on the front rail. If you...

Thanks for the info. I'll take the cost of a new holster into consideration in deciding whether I want a 4013. It's kinda' borderline now.

I have a 3913 LS and really like it. I've seen a 4013 on the net and am curious as to whether it has the same size frame (for holster purposes), assuming rounded trigger. Thanks.

I actually carry my Model 38 a fair amount (pocket carry). For general plinking and paper punching, I usually should 158 gr Lead Round Nose or the 148 gr Wadcutters. For carry, the Buffalo Bores are fine.

I saw a Model 19 (unknown variant) at a local gun store today for $600, no box.
