I purchased a 610-3 4" 10MM a few years ago. I sent it into the Performance Center and the outdoor package and the as well as the action performance as well. Beveled the charge holes, crowned the muzzle, cleaned and polished the internals, set a trigger stop and adjusted the main spring. My main...

I have used good ole Hoppes #9 since I pulled my first trigger. I feel its adequate for most general cleaning purposes. Sometime with heavy copper fouling something more aggressive on copper is needed, although I messed up once and left some in the bore overnight. That stuff can be extremely...

I picked up the same gun but with the box, unfortunately not the original grips but at $1100. Prices appear to be coming down some but still a hard find and 45 colt is a damn good cartridge.

I bought this a while back but never really got around to using it. I wanted to compare it with my new mountain gun. The Kimber exceeded my expectations. I don’t have any feeler gauges yet but the Kimber appears very tight and locks up nice. Small frame and lightweight so full house 357 loads...

I would expect that every quarter or 6 Months S&W is going to roll out new mountain guns until they lose interest and sales. I personally would like to see the 41 back as well!

I was really anticipating that it would be the bee’s knees and really wanted it to be. However personally I feel 629 outperformed the Kodiak. For me the bear hug grips fit me well and with the wood grips of the 629 it wasn’t an issue even with stout hand loads at max. I put about 100-125 rounds...

So I recently acquired the new MTN Gun and also the new Kodiak. Each has its own faults, but I think Smith won on this 4” Mountain VS Bear go around. The smith front sight is great when it’s low or shaded light with the brass bead, however the colored ramp is visible in low light and bright...

All mountain guns were marked on the barrel old/new ones. They feature a tapered 4” barrel which is the most noticeable feature. The original series I feel were more of a working gun as they had a positive grip rubber composite and the new ones are smooth wood profiled by Tyler gun works with...

It’s not the rarest but still have look hard to find one. Be better if it has the box or paperwork but 11 seams fair.

It might be beneficial to reach out to Tyler Gun Works in regards to the grips. I have had some email correspondence with him and appears to be sincere and genuine about his work and products. Especially since his name is on the grips.

My 686 Mountain Gun just came in as well and picked it up. Now I need to get time to test the 44 and 357. I also have the Colt Kodiak that I want to get out and shoot. I might just have to have a sick day soon! I will post some results of running various types of ammunition through them. I am...

I picked up my first mountain gun today. The 629 44 magnum. I haven’t been this excited about the release of a new firearm in years. The nice partridge sight with a gold bead creates a great sight picture. For years I had wanted one, my neighbor had one in 45 Colt at one time that I had fallen...

I just purchased the new 629 mountain gun. I haven’t been this excited about a new gun in a long time. I’m impressed with the stocks by Tyler gun works, front sight and smooth trigger. Ohh and no lock! My state has a ridiculous law that prohibits me from picking up until a minimum of 3 days...

A lot of neat history associated with the old Starr loaders. They will built to last and tough as nails, and smooth as a Cadillac. I have owned the original Starr loader and the later Starr Universal Loaders. Years ago I was able to get a lot of information from Fitz of Fitz Grips in CA...
