    Forum Beginnings Question?

    I almost forgot... ...to mention Victor Louis. I couldn't remember his username. I remembered him as "that forum member I met at a gun show in Tyler, TX or AZ (Phoenix or Tucson). I also wonder what happened to the "ILIF Log?" Right after S&W started adding the Integrated Lock, we started a...

    Forum Beginnings Question?

    Long Ago... So the oldest post from me that still remains is dated 8/29/07. I was a moderator on this forum when Parabellum was admin, maybe the owner. When I was big into this forum, I was working with guys like Parabellum, SmithNut, and rburg. The forum currently has my join date as 1/23/01...

    http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-revolvers-1961-1980/79395-p-through-model-12-test-done.html Not specifically a J-frame, but there was a lot of good discussions about cracked Airweight frames. :) sprey

    J-Frames and + P Ammunition

    Saxon, it's good to see the new generation is still debating the Airweight destroying power of Plus-Zero ammo. :) ... :) sprey

    Which classic J frame would you choose?

    Well, if you insist on it being "classic"... "Classic" sifts out most j-frames until you get back to the blued steel models so I'd go with a classic M49 Bodyguard. ... :)sprey

    637 Wyatt Deep Cover info

    Does anyone know if the WDC grips are available aftermarket I always run my Barami Hip Grips with a Tyler T-Grip in front of it. I'd like to try a set of these WDC hip grips. Second question: Is the trigger DAO on the WDC? ... :)sprey

    Can't handle +P

    I wouldn't worry about a little modern day commercially available +P in your Airweight. I once put 1,000+ rounds of +P through a model 12 that S&W specifically prohibited the use of +P ammo. The gun survived. If you crack an alloy frame around the barrel, its mostly likely cause is an over...

    Why the Shield?

    The debate between "capacity" vs. "carriability" is easily resolved. If you don't carry your hi-cap then the lighter, smaller, lower capacity gun is the way to go. However, there are, of course, other, very important, variables. Style of dress, characteristics of one's daily activity (job...

    M&P vs Beretta 92 Compact

    This post kind of reminded me of a "polymer" vs. "metal" debate we were having at the office, a spin off of a Sig (P-series) vs. Glock debate. A point I made in that discussion was that we have 100+ year old metal guns still shooting today, but we're missing a few decades of polymer data...

    Model 12-4 question

    I ran 1,022 +P rounds through a Model 12 many years ago... http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-revolvers-1961-1980/79395-p-through-model-12-test-done.html Long story short, the gun survived, but these old model 12s can't be repaired. As a result, shooting +Ps through your M12 subjects it to "low...

    Those humpbacked Bodyguard revolvers...

    AirLite Bodyguard I've always liked the Bodyguard. I just wish that S&W continued its development into a "338" or "349" model. ... :) sprey

    Notable Thread Suggestion.

    Not so fast... Before I can go, you'll need to tell me which police agencies have jurisdiction over the party location. ...;)sprey
