    659 Magazine Disconnect

    Yes I am sure it is the junk mags. I have three pre ban S&W magazines that work well. Living in California I try not to take the pre-ban mags to the public ranges just to avoid situations from unaware LEO if questioned. The rear of the promag at the top where it is u-shaped and the follower...

    Karma! Finally bought a S&W 28 4"

    Hi Rudy Welcome to the Forum It is really hard to find any older S&W in California due to their darn laws and the need to be on the approved list. I know the LEO are exempt from the list but don’t know if that applies to retired LEO. I do not know what agency you were retired from but if you...

    659 Magazine Disconnect

    Fresh off the Bench!! S&W Schofield

    I cannot add any more words than what has already been said. Your talent is exceptional. Engraving almost seems as a dying off talent. I am so glad you are keeping it alive and on Firearms as well.
