Thank you! They are easy enough to find! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks so much for the great info. I’ll try to get a few pictures. Actually, I bought the pistol new and it was tucked away in the back of the safe until recently became interested in the .356. Pics coming....... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I own a new in box 3566 compact in .356 TSW. I also obtained a 9mm Barrel from Scott Sullivan. I have ammo and brass for the .356 TSW. But, I’m uncertain what recoil spring(s) could be used to replace the dual springs should they wear out; or for the 9mm conversion. I did contact S&W and they...

Thanks all. I actually placed orders for Cor Bon on two different occasions and, despite leaving several messages (and receiving a confirmation e-mail) never received any ammo. I wasn’t charged so I assumed perhaps they were waiting to make a production run until they received sufficient orders...

I was searching for reloading data this evening and discovered Underwood Ammo appears to be loading 356 TSW and has it in stock in two different bullet weights. Just ordered a few boxes - here’s hoping since Cor Bon also had it listed some time ago and never came through!! Sent from my iPhone...

I recently sent a 686-2 in for the combat revolver package; and to correct timing which was slow on 2 cylinders. Prior to doing so, I had it evaluated by a well known custom revolver smith and was told it was functional but couldn’t be tuned to his satisfaction because, even after installing an...

Actually energy (kinetic) is mass times velocity squared (momentum is mass times velocity). As such, energy calculations favor higher velocity. This is why a 230 grain .45 ACP and a 115 grain 9mm often have similar energies despite the .45 having twice the mass. Energy transfer to the target is...

FWIW, a 427 wasn't available in the '63 Corvette. All '63's came through with various versions of the 327. Having said that, the Model 59 was innovation for its time. Judging it by today's standards is very much like judging the 63 Corvette to a current Stingray. Sent from my iPhone using...

I have the compact and I too wish someone would resurrect the .356. Nonetheless, has anyone sorted out springs to use with the 9mm barrel? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I also purchased a barrel from Scott and am well pleased. I bought it for the compact and fit was perfect - and machining better than the original. I have not seen a run of .356 brass in years. I have occasionally found some on gunbroker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's not NCIC- it's NICS, the National Instant Check System. And many of the recent "outages" of PICS were due to unavailability of NICS (PICS queries the NICS databases in addition to others-so, when NICS is "down", so is PICS). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I really love the 3906. I had a very early production which I, unfortunately, sold to a friend many years ago. Excellent ergonomics!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great pistol. I lament the passing of the third gen guns and simply do not like the MP line-up. I remember when the third gens came out, they generated a great deal of excitement. They were a marked improvement over second gen guns in terms of ergonomics and trigger pull. I carried a 4506 as an...

Response to your first question- you answered it to some degree yourself. The frame has vertical serrations. If you use those as a depth guide, you are likely ok. Otherwise, you may be able to measure the thickness with a micrometer and go from there. Your second question- I believe smith and...
