    S&W: Time period for warranty repair

    The time frame for my warranty repair is long. But with the massive sales of new firearms and the negative impact of the virus on worker schedules, I give S&W a pass. My J Frame is repaired and in the holster.

    S&W: Time period for warranty repair

    No other damage, my hip was a little sore. The bull head-butt was unintentional and nothing major. It was feeding time. Goes to show-- be on the guard when around livestock.

    S&W: Time period for warranty repair

    Thank you. Lesson learned the hard way, check the screws and extractor rod every time after firing. A proof-point: This handgun has had only something around 40 rounds fired, all 38 Special factory loads, one time at the range. BTW, I purchased my first revolver in 65 or 66, a Hawes Western...

    S&W: Time period for warranty repair

    My inoperable 642 Airweight was shipped to S&W Springfield for warranty repair. It shipped on October 12, was received by S&W on October 19, repaired, and shipped back on December 7. Today, December 9, my J Frame is back in its holster. The problem: The cylinder would not open. Per S&W the...

    New GP100 or Model 66 or Model 686?

    Much appreciated, I will check out the King Cobra and the SP101. Price matters but is not the primary driving factor.

    New GP100 or Model 66 or Model 686?

    The Kimber K6S is too much gun for me. This, the lightest 357 mag revolver, does not appear to be a shooter/plinker. Just purchased a 642 Airweight in June. An in-stock option at Cabellas was a J-frame 357 mag. Even as my primary carry weapon, a J-frame 357 mag too was too much gun for me...

    New GP100 or Model 66 or Model 686?

    New GP100 or Model 66 or Model 686?

    Did not know Kimber makes revolvers. A friend owns a 1911 model Kimber and holds it in esteem.

    629-1 "3 Ts"?

    Thank you. This 629 has never been modified. I am the second owner, the original owner is a relative. He kept it stock as well base barely shot. The source of these terms comes from the "Revolver Guy" https://revolverguy.com/rg101-hammers-and-triggers/

    629-1 "3 Ts"?

    Help please. Is this correct for my 629-1, Hammer: "Target" ? Trigger: “Combat” ? Grips: "Service" ? How common is mixing these types? Thank you.

    Revolvers making a "come back"

    When I recently took my grandson to the range his favorite shooters was the 629 with magnum loads. Shooting a 44 mag revolver is like driving a big-block 60s muscle car: An unforgettable rush and so much fun. Teach your (grand)children well.

    629-1 "3 Ts"?

    Help please. Is My 629-1 a legitimate "Three T" model? If it is, what does the "3 Ts" mean as far as value and capability and collectability? Serial #N8971**, 4" barrel. Thank you.
