    S&W .32 Long

    My advice is to keep it. These are perfect trail guns. The Model 30 will stand up to heavier than factory loads. I load the .312" diameter Hornady XTP with 3 grains of Bullseye for about 900 fps. Pressure testing in solid barrel with strain gage via Oehler M43PBL assembled in R-P cases with WSP...

    .380 ACP: Flat-Point FMJ vs JHP

    Does user Abnormal own the patent for the cartridge drop fixture which produces uniform flats of one half bullet diameter by the thousands? If jackets are THAT soft I would like to buy some expanding FMJ ammo in .380. Link please!

    Hammer Bobbing...opinions, please.

    My only bobbed hammer gun is a S&W 325PD Scadium .45 ACP which came from the S&W Performance Center that way. At only 21-1/2 ounces it is a handful with hardball at 740 fps.

    Jerry was an artist. Also a perfectionist. Correct keeping the factory hammer spring.

    Hammer Bobbing...opinions, please.

    I prefer not to mutilate a carry gun from factory configuration. No Fitz mods or bobbed hammer. If you want a snag free pocket carry just buy a 642. +P capable and only 14-1/2 ozs. My NPE pocket carry EDC. You can buy one for about the cost of the gunsmithing you are contemplating having done...

    Mainspring adjustment screw

    The purpose of the screw is to tension the leaf mainspring. The screw is backed off only to relieve strain on the spring to facilitate disassembly.
