When we transitioned from .38spl 124grn to .357 ammo for the 19 for uniformed carry in the 80s, i went for the silvertips too, on the theory i might have to take a long shot and wanted the mass on target.
still use em on the 686, tho i have went to the 124 gr .357 for short barrel 5 shot guns
Reworked 17
my reworked 1917 is a low number 1917 22xx that has been refinished, adjustable sights, modified to short action.
would like to know who did the work.
I had a 3000 as a patrol car gun. I always felt better with it around.
Picked up an old police turn in a couple years ago (you can tell by the parkerizing wear where the locking mount rubbed.
I cleaned up the wood found an extended mag tube online , added a mounted light and laser, and now...
am an old guy with a fondness for wheelguns, especially S&W, though i am also fond of autos and longarms.
I am here to expand my knowledge and enjoy myself.
feel free to ask if i can enlighten or entertain you!
