My first S&W was this 469. I bought it as soon as I could legally buy a handgun, a couple days after my 21st b-day. That was several decades ago. The 469 was a great and innovative gun in its time.

Yes, it is interesting. When I am off it's usually to the right. I blamed the fact that the BG is so small that I don't get a great grip (very possible), but Gnarls suggested that my sights might be off. I guess I need to have someone else see how it shoots for them.

"Best" is personal. What's best for some isn't for others. For my family access first floor hidden gun, I use Hornady Critical Defense 38 Special 110gr (NOT the +P) because the gun is there for my wife and daughter as well as me. The 38 I carry a lot currently has Lehigh XD bullets loaded by...

Great find! We'd love to see a picture when you get it.

Before yesterday's range trip my BG 2.0 had 150 rds. of Magtech 95 gr. FMJ and 50 rds. of Blazer Brass 95 gr. FMJ, and 8 rds. of Speer 90 gr. GD. All flawless. Yesterday I tested 8 Federal 99 gr. HST. Had FIRST malfunction with the BG. The fired rd. of HST got stuck mostly outside of the...

After shooting a couple 100 rds. with it and leaving it loaded for about a month, I can finally get 12 into my 12 rd. mag without using an Uplula. However, INSERTING that fully loaded 12 rd. mag with the slide forward is a different story. For now, I am cheerfully loading my 12 rd. mag with 12...

Haven't picked yet. My only local places to try on jeans are Walmart and Tractor Supply. I need to make a trip to a city and try on several brands. THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE RESPONSES!

Good article. Thanks!

My grandmother got me into coin collecting when I was around 8 years old. Back then, there were no "slabbed" coins, but some rare coins came with papers that included pictures of the coin and vouched for the coin's authenticity. The only coin like that I ever bought was a 1916-D Mercury dime...

If a magnet picks it up, it's fake. Best at home test is weight. Should weigh 26.73 grams, slightly less if well worn.

Nice 29! I'd have used the 2 you mentioned to reduce the price on the 29 if possible. Plastic guns have their place IMO, but a majestic steel classic is an heirloom.

Thanks, all!

With dress pants I always IWB, but I really like pocket carry, especially with a small revolver or BG 2.0. What are your favorite (large front pocket) jeans for pocket carry? All responses appreciated.

I like my BG 2.0 a lot, but with only 150 rds. through it, I don't yet trust it nearly as much a pocket revolver (for me it's a LCR or K6xs; sorry J-frame fans, no offense intended), and I probably never will trust any small semi-auto as much as a revolver. Most of us know the cons (low...

It's always a good idea to read all of the questions carefully. One big change on the newest 4473 is that you can now declare your gender as "other." I won't say what I think about that change.
