item is spoken for. it went quickly! hey guys, someone gave me a hammer today for a S&W revolver it looks to me to be a target hammer (wide thumb spur) for a k22 (no floating firing pin or place for such it is oldish,looks casehardened not used much if at all but junk drawer storage for sure...

i have also had great shooting with the lee tumble lube 158 gr round nose bullet in a variety of guns.

i might consider holding off modifying it till you find out more about it. JMHO. (but i do think the barrels interchange)

Hey what'dya know a bunch of folks living "behind the lines" have gone and made a difference, tip my hat and thanks to all those RedSox fans. Regards, Rich

well i'm all mixed up and a little upset at Hoptob for pointing a Colt at me LoL. any how i don't know whats best but heres my experience with a couple of autos. i was issued a 6946 and shot the hell out of it w/o a single mishap over about six years. it was almost compact and very accurate. a...

went and looked at mine, my earliest is a 3" round butt 64-3 AWD9XXX and NY-1 is stamped in the crane but there is no side ser # and the gun is shiney (standard S&W stainless finish) next is a 3" round butt 64-3 AYP3XXX NY-1 and the side ser# are stamped into the metal (rollmarked?) and this is...

i wouldn't mess with it until you know what you have. is it a shiney finish or matte?, are the NY-1 and side serial #'s etched or stamped?, is it 4" 3" or 2" barrel? round but or square? does it have it's serial # on the side of the frame under the cylinder or not? are the grips...

i believe all S&W bobbed hammers are double action only, so the gun that can be cocked isn't factory if my info is correct. Regards, Rich

didn't other people than just NYPD officers get to buy guns from the NYPD equipment bureau? like fireguys and ADA's and feds? anyhow if one of these "Other" purchasers ordered a M-60 it seems that S&W could possibly send them one of the returned guns and then it would letter as sent to NYPD but...

I'm into NY-1's but i have to get into photography....

Hey Fellas, the 3" M-60 stamped NY-1 is one of the M-60 NY-1's that were returned to S&W after NYPD disallowed their officers to carry them. S&W swapped in the 3"barrels and standard hammers then sold them off through regular dealers. i don't think it letters to NYPD but i sure lust after it and...

I always kind of thought of MD as "JerseyII"

i often look around at the various central american folks that are popping up 'round here more and more these days, i wonder if there is something wrong with the sky or the soil or the rocks and trees where they come from that makes them leave those places. then i realize because of exposure to...

i heard 'Cajun just kind of a shortened, mispronunciation of Acadian? aren't 'Cajun's just Northerners? French Northerners to boot! aw its a crazy world.... Regards, Rich

i am the only person on the planet that doesn't like 625's (unless it is in 45LC but even then a 629 to me, is better.) and i would go for the 625. is there something special about the Ruger? it doesn't seem like an even trade imho. Regards, Rich
