    .44 Special conversion of Texas Wagon Train .44-40

    There’s been talk and some have done it before. Well, I had my Texas Sesquicentennial commemorative converted over to .44 Special. Here’s the full story: https://revolverguy.com/the-sw-model-544-customizing-a-texas-commemorative/#more-15305

    Texas Wagon Train is now a Shooter!

    Before and after. 3 1/4” group with .44-40 @ 50 feet 1 1/2” group with .44 Special @ 50 feet Factory Winchester .44-40 bullets are .426 in diameter and S&W used standard .44 Magnum barrels with .429 bores on these Model 544 revolvers. So they don’t shoot very accurately with factory ammo...

    Anyone convert a 544 .44-40 to .44 Special?

    Since the S&W Model 544’s barrel measures .429, despite being chambered in .44-40, has anyone had theirs converted over to .44 Special (or .44 Magnum)? Winchester factory .44-40 ammo has jacketed bullets that measure .426 with a dial caliper. So they’re inaccurate due to being too small in...

    MSRP in 1986 for the S&W Model 544 Texas Wagon Train Commemorative?

    Does anyone know the MSRP back in 1986 for the S&W Model 544 Texas Wagon Train commemorative? The standard version in the blue barn wood basswood presentation case? Thanks in advance!

    New Python Recall?

    Watch Hickok45's video very closely. He is a big man with big hands. The Python's cylinder does not rotate only when he is cocking it single action, never double action. He has his trigger finger on the trigger, putting pressure on it. Again, he has big hands and big fingers. He caused the...

    Case Hardened Desert Eagle

    I used to think the Desert Eagle in .50 AE was neat but had no real practical application, at least not for me. The giant handgun is a cult icon in fictional novels, tv, movies, and video games. Then I shot one at the SHOT Show Industry Day at the Range and I was impressed with how well I...

    40th Anniversary CZ 75 B 9mm

    I saw this CZ 75 at the SHOT Show in 2015 and fell for it immediately. Some don't like the engraving and some don't like the stocks (they're California birdseye maple that are stained purple), but both worked for me. I've been following them the last three years and they've leveled off in price...

    M&P Pro 9mm threaded barrel available?

    I have an M&P Professional .40 caliber that I installed a 9mm Storm Lake barrel in. It's worked great. It's a neat set up. However, I'd like to get a threaded barrel for a future suppressor in 9mm. So I need a .40 to 9mm conversion barrel that is threaded. Storm Lake doesn't have that on...

    Altamont Roper style grips for my 686

    They don't have a palm swell. In this pic it might look like there is a slight difference along each side, but it's really just the checkering pattern causing a tiny illusion. They're pretty much straight along each panel. The left side is cleared for ejection though.
