Been a while since I've logged in, work and all that good stuff..... I found this local and appears to need a reseal, picked up the kit and was trying to locate a decent YouTube or other good how to guide. Any air gun followers with suggestions?

Lifting brother.

Picked it up Tuesday and will dust the barrel soon. I'm probably going to try it out with the red dot then swap out the original sight. Will pretty much any K or L frame grips fit these ? Thought I saw a statement that dry firing without a snap cap is not recommended, is my memory serving me...

The owner says he has it, I just need to find out how it goes back on.

Here's a couple pics from the soon to be previous owner.

It's a 6" bbl. and blued finish. Unfortunately no box, original grips, or other goodies. Will have to reinstall the original rear sight as there is presently a rail installed with a red dot. From what the pics I've seen it looks good and will definitely post up some eye candy. Thanks for...

Serial number is AJD 30XX. Present owner thinks he may have bought it mid 80 ' s but not sure. Any other info is greatly appreciated! ! Thanks in advance.

Picked this up and about the only thing I've found out about it so far is it is from 1980 or so. I've seen the video of it firing in its Odd Ball way, trigger holds bolt back until released. Also came across a link about a possible recall due to firing in safe mode position. Sent an e-mail...

Buddy picked one of these up and we were both curious if 45 GAP ammo can be safely shot from this revolver? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks JCS&W!!

Hello all, was hoping to find out DOB on a Model 49 ser# J814XXX. As always thanks in advance!!

I traded away my XD45 Compact for this Model 66 no-dash awhile back and still ended up with only phone pics. It was a local trade and I'll have to dig out some of the ammo he also threw in. It came with box, all papers and extra set of Hogue grips. I finally took those off and put the wood...

Nice!! Happy Birthday too!!

OK that was some helpful info and some beautiful looking specimens. I'm pretty sure a trade is in the works, can someone also give me a year off the serial# of 9K85XXX. This has the black or blued rear sight and the red insert front sight. Thanks so much in advance!!

Can someone tell me when these first became available and last year for the no-dash.
