While you are possibly correct, I've been doing this for 32 years and never seen or even heard of an occassion where this was the case in a justified shooting. S&W use to teach (and may still) a "PAD" course. "Police Armorer Development" where they taught how to do a proper action job on a duty...

Thirty person department, started off in 1980. Pretty good bet that the majority of the department issued 19's as well as an assortment of personal duty weapons had some type of action job done on them. This continued to the 586's that replaced the 19's and then onto the S&W autos, model 39's...

Looking for a set of Jordan trooper grips for a round butt K Frame

I've had this one apart and back together once before. If I recall correctly I was hating myself by the time it was working again. Don't even recall why I took it apart again. Been probably 14 or 15 years since I took it down. Thanks for the youtube suggestion. May pass this one on to the evil...

Been slowly cleaning out the old shop and moving into the new. About time I guess, only been 3 years since I moved. Found a few things that I had forgotten I still had. A full 5 gallon bucket of once fired nickle plated .38 brass The original box from my Ruger single 6 from 1976 Still have the...

Last time I looked at the stat's. the 125 grain JHP .357 mag. is still at the top of the list as far as one shot stops go! My 6" model 19 that I carried for a number of years has had at the very least 3,000 of these through it and has no major issues. That number is based on 50 duty rounds fired...

I don't mind the dings, dents, and scratches that come with daily wear and tear. But the gouges, cracks, and chunks of wood do bother me. Yes, I tend to work in areas that are rather rough on grips, belts, boots and me;-) Been carrying S&W revolvers for 31 years on a daily basis and have learned...

Not a fan of rubber grips except when really needed. Carried Houges on my model 60, .357 for the past 13 or so years because there was really no other way to control it with full house magnums. Recenty went back to a 19 as my 24/7 gun. Had forgotten how hard my day to day activities can be on a...

Longest would be my Remington model 51 in .380. Been with me since the late 60's early 70's. Passed down from my grandfather. Next to that would be a Ruger single 6, bough new in 1976 and then my S&W 19-4, 6" that I carried for a number of years in uniform. That was in 1980

Smooth combat grips are gone and I have gotten the holster I needed. So, I added cash/Amazon gift card prices to the other items. Open to reasonable offers.

Been a registered member since 2007 but have never posted anything. The fact that I was able to remember a user name and pass word is a miracle;-) Been shooting, carrying and working on S&W's for over 30 years. Been a police officer, fire fighter, gun smith, ranch manager, and business owner...

Ok, got some stuff from S&W "J" and "K" frame revolvers that I'd like to get rid of. Also some non related bullets. A Bianchi #5 "Black Widow" holster. Well used but still very functional. Started off life in brown and was died a number of years back to black to meet uniform requrements. $20.00...

Interesting. As a graduate of several S&W schools on their revolvers as well as the Yavapi Gun Smithing College and spending many years as both a gunsmith and Law Enforcement armorer back in the day. Peening the "hand" was the way it was taught and approved to solve this problem. Guess things...
