    Where are all the .38s?

    The Dick's around here don't stock .38s, even though it's listed in the circular as being on sale (Rem UMC, which would be fine by me!). I shoot primarily 9mm, which they always sell out of WAY fast, 45s, which I can always seem to get, .38s which are nowhere to be found, and 357s, which I can...

    Where are all the .38s?

    Boy, I've been trying high and low to get some reasonable bulk ammo from around here, around the internet, anywhere! The .38s are just gone for some reason. Anyone having better luck at some secret website they can let me know about? Thanks, Mike

    Locks Will Be Phased Out Says S&W!!

    All I have to say is here is my brand new in the box 442, no lock. Oh, and a "shot" of my new to me 686-4, since I finally figured out how to post photos. I think...

    686 sight/grip questions

    Thanks Wayne! Exactly the information I hoped for. I know from hanging out here that the 686-4 was the one to get and I can already tell it's going to be my favorite revolver. I was going to do exactly what you suggested with the grips. Lay it out all fancy from time to time, but keep the tires...

    686 sight/grip questions

    Just picked up my "new to me" 686-4 4". Wow... Trigger like buttah! Can't wait to shoot this thing. Going to the range tomorrow for sure. Here at home fondling it I noticed that the rear sight, if you hold it lightly by the notch, there is the slightest wiggle to it. Always the same no matter...

    Locks Will Be Phased Out Says S&W!!

    My guess about any leftovers is that there are some states that require some type of locking system on revolvers. They would all work their way over there for sale. Smith and Wesson said that since they have to sell to all 50 states they will always have locks on their guns. Looks like they're...

    Locks Will Be Phased Out Says S&W!!

    Seems they're making a few things snubbies with shrouded hammers available now without the IL. Maybe those are the models that even they'll admit had some problems? Maybe they're just testing the waters to see if there is a spike in those sales? I tell ya, I'm considering one of those now. Which...

    Locks Will Be Phased Out Says S&W!!

    Yeah, Doug, I remember reading that issue as well, and usually do so cover to cover. When I looked back to see what issue it was I remembered it distinctly. It would have jumped out at me if there was such a quote. Maybe that reference was to support the Wiki articles claim about the reported...

    Locks Will Be Phased Out Says S&W!!

    Yeah, that would have been a good one! I don't think I could find a better April Fool than that, but if you read the Wikipedia article, it really looks like it's going to include revolvers.... When I looked up the Ayoob article, I noticed I had read that issue (the one with the beautiful...
