To buy or sell? Buying that model 19 for $450 would be a screaming good deal. If you are selling it, $450 is waaay to low. I'm guessing the package is worth $700 or better.

Yes and yes.

Sorry Old Navy I wasn't making a comment on your function test, I was offering some friendly advice that Don K. asked for in his original post. Both of you guys are made of stronger stuff than I am to subject yourselves to what must be punishing practice sessions.

Sometimes you have to learn to walk before you can run. Keep your DA speed slow and deliberate until you can consistently keep a tight group at 5 yards, then do the same at 7 yards. Don't speed up until your groups are tight and consistent...then start back at 5 yards and add a little speed...

What a great looking S&W. The wood stocks are beautiful and an improvement in my opinion. After you put your revolver back into the safe for the night, turn that glass over and pour yourself two fingers to celebrate.

Congrats on your new model 13. It seem that a whole new generation of shooters are rediscovering the joys a good revolver can bring. I can't advise you on an IWB holster but when I carry my 4" model 19 it's in a Bianchi Model 7 pancake style holster and an untucked shirt or with a jacket. It's...

I really like the set on the bottom.

Don't believe that for a minute. She knows. Just like you can't tell one pair of her shoes from the other.

Remember the pistols in 'Logan's Run'? I'll bet this revolver belched brimstone and fire like those rocket guns did.

Do it. They won't look new, but they will look clean and well seasoned.

It looks like he wants all his money back for his modifications. I personally don't think what he did is worth all the extra money. I don't think he added much to the defensive capabilities and absolutely ruined any collectible value. He does look like he's adding easily $100 or more in ammo and...

You know what's funny is all of those revolvers that the good guys threw down in the movies would have looked like this.

Your dad would be proud (with the gun and the son).

I'll err on the side of putting more oil on my guns than too little. When I finish cleaning, I oil the firearm until it's almost wet and dripping with oil. Then I lay it on a towel for an hour or so and then wipe off the excess with the towel or a silicone cloth. The "drop here and a drop...
