yeah - do it slowly and watch the parts carefully. If it was like mine you wont have to dry fire it many times for it to happen!

I found this pic online. These are the exact two mating parts that were sticking. Take the cover off and dry fire it until they hang up and then re-release the trigger and see what clicks into place. I bet it is the same issue. If you are comfortable doing it that is - don't risk it if not...

I recently bought a new 642-2 - this was probabaly the 3rd or 4th 442/642 either my wife or I have owned in the last 5 years. Great tool or all around carry / self defence that is easy to carry. Sadly this was the first ever one I had a problem with (most of my S&Ws are older). I noticed as I...

I had the LCR in 9mm. It was a good gun in all aspects but I struggled with an easy and effective way to carry spare moon clips. Usually I use speed strips with snubby revolvers because they are easiest to carry without creating any bulges. It eventually had to go because I never carried it...

I bought a couple sets of the Lee dippers and customized several of them by trimming the size of the bucket with a sharp razor blade. Now I have a dipper for 5.0 gr of Unique exactly. A little trial and error with your scale but you should have the dipper where you want it pretty quick.

I'm 48 and I EDC a 442. Some times I add a speed loader to the other side of my belt. I'm confident in my skill and if I cant get out of trouble with the set up then I doubt I could with any set up short of my AR15!

Thanks for the heads up - 2 boxes on the way - should last a long time!

Usually my EDC is my S&W 642 .38 special and every once in a while I will pack my Glock 36 .45 acp

I have 3 M64s and they are, by far, my most shot handguns. I probably reload 3000 + .38 special a year so I can keep feeding them!

I have always had great service from MBC. My most recent order was 2000 148gr DEWCs which I received about 3 weeks after placing my order. I also applaud them for not price gouging - I was looking at prices from Rim Rock Bullets (I have bought from them in the past too) and saw they took a...

I ordered one of their .45ACP sample packs (250 rounds) about a month ago and after waiting 3 weeks I followed up to check the status of the order. I was advised they did not have enough .45 brass to fill the orders. I canceled my order ... they were very friendly and helpful though. Maybe...

Went to the FFF in Middleburg Hts. on Saturday and found the same bare shelves in the powder / primer area everyone else is reporting. They had a decent amount of factory ammo on-hand and the gun cases were the usual mob-scene.

Lots of love here for M10 (4") and it's shiny sister the M64!

Not many unfortunately! I remember the American Rifleman had a back page article about the m10 a few months ago. I used to subscribe to Combat Handguns but it seemed to me that almost every month the cover was dedicated to a different top dollar 1911. It became annoying after a while.

EDC 642 here with the belt rig. Shown are the Gold Dot 135gr +p but it can also be seen frequently loaded with Rim Rock 158gr wide nose SWCs over 4.4 gr of HP-38.
