I carry either a Sig 239 in .40, with one in the pipe, which is 8+7 or a Sig 229 which is 13+12. I am good with either set-up.

...and a pistol.

Hell, no !

A Sig 229 or 239 in .40 (presently) in Mitch Rosen Premiers.

The Collings Foundation appeared at our local Regional airport a few years ago and my assignment was to help old guys into and out of their B-17. The raw emotion was something to see and the stories something to hear, just like it was yesterday...

I would almost bet that the Marketing Department, the bane of the Engineering Department, prevailed in that one. Wooden Dan Wesson grips of that era were unusable and Pachmyers had to be fitted.

No question.

Just looking at the Smith website, the Combat Package appears to be $155 more than the Master job which is how much the glass bead blue job costs. So I am guessing that you get the listed Master stuff plus the bead blue which makes for the Combat job. Just a guess...

Check these guys out: Boone Trading Company - Ivory and Scrimshaw. Lotsa stuff about ivory and its selection and working and care. Also you will find other attractive alternatives to ivory. Worth a look...

This is a good post from this forum: http://smith-wessonforum.com/reloading/172167-thoughts-bore-fouling-cleaning.html

I can see where it is bothersome. If I just pull straight through in a business-like manner, I hardly notice. If I go to stage the trigger, there it is...It will be great to hear from you when you get it solved. Thanks!

Hello, corgi!. Is this the same trigger-not-smooth M66 you posted about a couple of days ago? I just responded to that thread wondering if it was OK to shoot my very low round count M19 that does the same thing. Did you have it repaired or shoot it as is?

I just bought a really extra-clean M19 4" that exhibits this behavior exactly as described. Is it OK to fire the gun or will that cause accelerated wear or any other damage?

Thanks! I used to live in Decatur when I was a kid and would go to B'ham with my parents to the airport to pick up visiting relatives. Our neighborhood paperboy was 14 years old and had a motorcyle of some sort. That wasn't you, was it? Cal

Hello, all. I just turned my 2.5" 19-3 with many issues into a really nice, cherry even, 4" 19-4 for only $250. The serial number is 73K89xx. Could anyone tell me when it was manufactured? I am guessing late in the 19-4 run. Thanks! Cal
