    New Data on History Letters - Post 1 Update

    I mailed a Letter of Authenticity Request last month. S&W cashed my $50.00 check. I'm hoping I got it in just under the deadline. Anyone have any information?

    New model 41 first day at the range

    Took a chance and bought a new Model 41 with the 7" barrel. Read lots of posts here and elsewhere listing issues with FTF, FTE, Stovepiping, Tumbling, etc. I was a little concerned to say the least. Went to the range today with CCI standard velocity and.....No issues. None. Zero. Shoots...

    S&W Model 17 Not ALLOWED IN CA.?

    The Jan. 1st exemption was SSE single shot exemption not SAE single action exemption. SAE is still ok here.

    S&W Model 17 Not ALLOWED IN CA.?

    I'm in California (not Kalifornia please) It's sad but true about the M17 not being legal in Ca. if it's not 50 years old or a Single Action Exemption. Yours looks like very early 1980's. M17-2 was around 1964 so they may qualify. They are legal in Ca if they are being sold in Ca by someone...

    Just got a K-22

    I have a 1953 k 2075xx and I love it. Bought some Eley Pistol Match (splurged) and it shoots nice small groups at 20yds. Let me know if you have any tight extractions after a few rounds. I think this is pretty normal because of tight tolerances in the cylinders. Could be heat or maybe the...

    Model 27 Front Sight - Can't See It

    Here is the way the front sight (a dab of white out) looks to me and to most other shooters who are far sighted. It's better than black but still blurry without the correct magnification. The rear sight can be a little out of focus but the front sight should be crystal clear.

    Model 27 Front Sight - Can't See It

    Nice posts. For those of us that are farsighted (we can't see clearly up close) the color of the front sight can be an issue but having a red, yellow, green or white front sight that is still blurry or fuzzy doesn't solve the whole problem. It's more distinct with the color but still very...

    Model 27 Front Sight - Can't See It

    Rolf. Sounds like the same vision issue I have. Take a look at the Elvex safety glasses on ebay. I think the .5 might be the ticket. I wear 2.0 for reading and the .75 puts the front sight in focus for me. They look like shooting glasses not readers.
