    Tired of 442-2 rusting with pocket carry

    i have a pair of 640-1, bought both used as project guns. One had a fair amount of pitting under the grips. They are both refinished, one in chrome. Expensive little guns in the end, but I feel like they will do their job if ever required.

    Ultimate J Frame - Coming home

    porting at night? I shoot my existing ported gun in the evenings frequently. The muzzle flash with 357 out of any 2 inch gun is significant. But I dont have any problems with it either way. As a pocket gun, I can shoot full house 357s comfortably and accurately. I prefer a 1911, but it is not...

    Georgia Arms .38 Special

    georgia arms - fine... I have shot about 4K of 38sp last year. I had a few hard primers or primers that were set a little deep. Otherwise, some of the best priced ammo that I have been able to find. I have been shooting the a range of different loads depending on what was available at the time.

    640-1 will be mine

    only 1? now you need one for your other pocket... Check out gemini customs. I have an Ultimate J Frame package that should be done soon, but I can attest to the excellent trigger work and porting on my "executive" version done by Marc earlier this year!

    Airweight J Frame Durability

    light vs heavier two weeks ago shot my 640 next to a mp 340. I have to say that shooting 125 normal pressure rounds out of the mp, was worse than full house 357s out of the 640! So my view is that it really depends on your strategy. If you like the light weight gun, and fill it with nyclads...

    Ultimate J Frame - 640 - Gemini Customs...!!!

    flames of death... i have not been a fan of the flames of death, or whatever Clint Smith called it... But it shoots very nicely. I prefer a 1911 full size, but in practice I am not carrying it very often. The porting is not as bad as I expected, from a noise and flames perspective. In any...
