Hi, guys. I keep reading about certain heat treated "components" of the K-Frame .357 variants of the Model 10-6 / Model 13 and I'm curious whether the frame itself was ever heat treated? Or if it is just the barrel and cylinder for instance? If the frames were never heat treated, and just...

Upon review, these aren't very good close ups. I'll take better ones and post them. Erik

Will these show what you're looking for? -Erik

Not yet. But I'm going to order a box of .38 to check it shortly. I'll post my results back here when I know and have a better idea of what needs to be done. It's got such a wonderful action and smooth trigger, I would be loathe to give it up if I can shoot .38 specials in it. -Erik

Replacement .38 special barrel and cylinder? Hi, all I'm coming back around to this gun after having done a little Googling and discovering the cost of used cylinders and barrels for the model 10 are pretty cheap. If it is a 38 S&W, can I replace the barrel / cylinder on this to set it up for...

Thanks everyone for the speedy responses! I'm intrigued by the BSR identification. It was in the attic of a house owned previously by captain of the local PD force. He passed away in 2017 at the age of 79, so, I suspect it must have been his and he stashed it up there as so many of the older...

@ Silversmok3 4 separate documented incidents of lives saved vs. 0 documented incidents of lives lost due to a magazine disconnect? As to the outcome of this challenge, I say: Game, set, match, and victory dance. Thank you for the statistical support of my position. Despite the fact that I...

RE: Running with scissors No matter which way you look at it, it's a far sight better than a wife who insists that I DO run with scissors. ;) Erik

Thanks for the replies @arrowslinger#1 Thanks for that fact. I'll make sure to get the thumb safety model as a starting point for adding the magazine safety since it cannot be done the other way 'round. @1fly2ty Thanks for the reply as well. I should explain a bit of my thinking... Firstly...

Hello, to all Can anyone help me with this one, please? I have a very specific list of criteria for a firearm purchase, and I don't know which way to go with it. I have been in love with the M&P9c/M&P40c since I first held one in the shop some months back. It feels terrific in the hand, and...
