    New to me 68-2 with LAPD Roll mark

    So Essentially, this is a M27 (Highway Patrolman) in SS and rechambered in .38 Special? Looks beautiful and if it shoots anything like my 27, it’s a winner!

    Any S&W Owners Have a Korth Revolver .357?

    Yes, I own four Korths I have posted a response earlier about the Korths. I have a .38-only snub and a 3" .38/.357, both in blue and a 4" and 6" .38/.357 in "Plasma," their flat, silver-colored coating. They are great. So are the Colt Pythons and M27's. The advantage the Korths have is size...

    Beginning To Understand Why A Korth Mongoose Revolver Is Worth $3,499

    Great, but not beyond comparison... First, let me explain that I have four (4) Korths; three .38/.357s (3", 4" and 6") and a .38-only snub nose that I believe was made in the late sixties. I think they are great. The ergonomics and the fit and finish are top notch. The bluing on the 3" is so...

    You Walk Into A Gun Store in 1978...

    Take out a mortgage I'd find the money somewhere and buy all four! They appear to be pristine and each is capable of becoming the pride of a collection.

    Progressive press question

    You get what you pay for... I have had a number of "C" type, turret, and progressive presses over the years and since I want to spend my time loading and shooting, I always want a reliable, easy to use system. As a rule, when you add options and components the reliability goes down. That rules...

    What do people think of the 9mm revolvers like 929

    A lot of people like using the 9mm in a revolver because the ammo is cheaper than .38 0r .357 and some recent test have indicated that even out of a small snub nose (like the new Ruger 9mm LCR) have better terminal ballistics than the .38 +P loads. I dunno. I just picked up a [virtually] never...

    Model 1917 commercial in .45 Long Colt ?????

    Yes, there were a number of 1917 S&Ws chambered in .45 colt. A couple of years ago, I asked Hamilton Bowen to make me a replica 1917 from a Ruger Redhawk that could handle heavy loads, something to handle dangerous game. He suggested .50 AE, because they would load in a moon clip like .45 ACP...

    MOD 29 2012 issue finish issue>

    Gunsmiths take a special training course in being sour and disrespectful to their customers. Out of 25 or so (including many well known "Gunsmiths of the Year") only my friend, Venry d'Aiguillon (deceased) and Dane Burns (retired) treated me politely and with the customer service one might...

    Wanted a Sigma ended up with a SD..with pics Sigma vs SD

    OK, I hate to break up the love-fest, but these are both inferior pistols. The M&P handguns (all versions) are so much better that I don't know why S&W still makes the Sigma. I had the opportunity to try out most of the M&P line during a combat training course and I was very impressed. There...
