I can't speak to the 625 but do own a 986. Other than caliber and the obvious, the biggest difference is the 986 is a L Frame which I think, is a perfect match for the 9mm. Huge difference in both cost and weight going to the range with 500 rds. between the 986 and RO. Big-bore it is not, but...

Pistol and Revolver Error Analysis and Correction

I have one that was bought new as well, and it doesn't have the white outline sights, but it does have Hogue grips.

The Leupold is obviously the "go to" scope for the X Frame, but I have always wondered how the Nikon Force would perform. Any comments on Nikon on the X Frame?

I talked to a guy that did scope testing with the X-Frames. Not saying he's an expert, but he sure seemed to know what he is talking about. He said the issue would be just what you experienced as well as the scope tubes crushing. He tested most popular brand of scopes and I don't remember all...

Can't speak to base, my 460 didn't need one. Spoke to the guys at Warne, who are neighbors to Leupold, before I mounted. They did X Frame testing with a bunch of different scopes. Based on what they said, I wound up returning the scope I bought and got the exact same scope you have and used 3...

To be legal shipping a complete gun, there must be a FFL with either the shipper (you) or consignee (Trijicon). If it is a handgun, it must be shipped priority (USPS), or at least 2nd Day (UPS/Fed Ex). If you are shipping to Trijicon, I would ask for a copy of their FFL to avoid any problems...

Sorry for the quality, cell phone photo

If I'm not mistaken, as far as barrel goes, the only difference between the 12 and 14 is the break. I will shorten the story, but due to a lovely genetic disease, I haven't been able to shoot a rifle or hunt in about 35 years. I can shoot a handgun. The answer for me to hunt game over 100 yds...

I have the exact gun, scope, and rings. I got the same answer from Warne. I got 3 rings on with no problem at all and the setup works great. Not a ton of rounds through the gun yet, but no movement AT ALL. Just FYI Warne's testing was using the 500 with 8" barrel. They said plan on only getting...

I have a 460 with a 14" barrel and Leupold 2.5-8 scope. My concern would be your accuracy with the 5" barrel even with optics. Mine is deadly accurate to 200 yds and then starts to drop off. I will shoot 300 yds but no more. I am shooting the Hornady ammo. I say go for it but I wouldn't want to...

I live in Pacific Northwest, and I have to say, the LGS's that I go to have their inventory to about 3/4 of what it was prior to the big buy. That includes a lot of S&W. I picked up a Shield last week for $399. They had both calibers and more in the back room. I'm also seeing a ton of revolvers...

Thanks to all. I do have a pistol vise that I can shoot out of. I'm going to pull it out for the next trip and at least pull the gun out of the equation. I do shoot both a Kahr and an LC9 on a regular basis and am very accurate with both. The size and grip of both are similar to the Shield...

I just took my new Shield to the range today after cleaning and ran about 50 rounds though it. It was ALL over the place with both sights and laser. I am an OK shooter and can put all of my other 20 some handguns in the X, but an IDPA champ, I'm not. I concentrated on the basics and the 40 in a...

Recently purchased a 460 Performance Center. I have to say, the finest revolver I own. No trigger job, nothing, just go and shoot. On the other hand, I ordered a rear sight for my 29 over 2 months ago, doesn't show backorder, and still have no clue after inquiring twice, when I will get the...
