i know exactly how you feel, ive been in the same situation multiple times. i want one of these quite badly

Im looking to buy a Smith and Wesson 547, and have been for a bit, preferably the 3 inch round butt model, but also possibly the 4 inch square butt. Unfortunately I am located in California, which means I require whoever wants to sell me this gun to be in California as well. BUT if you are in...

thanks for the help everybody i really do appreciate it... so do yall think a new ejector rod would most likely fix my problem? could i order this part off the internet or through a gun store? i just tried searching online and cant find any sites..

hey everybody, so the cylinder on my model 36 seems to get stuck in 2 places, i dont know all the terminology so ill call them "cylinder holes" (if someone can tell me the proper term id appreciate it) when i try and swing open the cylinder. it turns fine when i pull the trigger or hammer, the...

1. model 36 with 2inch barrel 2. remington 158gr Lead Round Nose

hey, so i went to the range about 4 or 5 weeks ago, and was never able to clean the gun afterwards since i got hit by a car and broke my foot.. well now that ive got all this spare time in my house and since it has been so long i decided i needed to give my gun a good cleaning.. so i just spent...

id go with my snub nose model 36.. since this is hypothetical and all... what can i say.. i always bet on the underdog..:p

thats a beautiful looking gun you got there. I love the way the bodyguard style revolvers look

ok ok, yall can be a bit more calm.. I understand that i may sound like im being cheap, and its true id like to save money i mean who doesnt.. but if you didnt notice me asking if these were good for self defense.. im not going around claiming anything... so please just take it easy, nobody...

thanks for the reply, everything you mentioned were things i was curious about, i think i might have to pick up a 438 pretty soon:p

have any of you had experience with the 438, ive been jonesing for one for a while now, although i love my model 36, when i practice with a holster the hammer tends to get caught.. also wondering what the recoil is like since its a good 8 ounces lighter than the 36..

well then what about 158gr lead round nose? im asking about these 2 because thats all my store carries and the other gun stores in my area charge twice as much for a box of 50 than i can get from my work, and id rather be paying 18 dollars a box than 40

So Ive got a 1965 model 36 that is not +p rated, and I usually shoot remington UMC 130gr fmj at the range for target practice (i get it cheap from my work with my employee discount), Ive also tried 158gr lrn (the only other .38 special we carry) but from my experiences I like shooting the 130gr...

I was wondering if there was any difference between these two guns, after looking at the smith and wesson website the only thing I could tell was the finish of the gun was different, and that the 638 was a bit cheaper price wise is there something im missing here or is that it?
