    New to Me M36 3"

    Not bad for a unfired with box from what little I know. I basically got this for about <$300 the value of the Karh. Never could hit with the Kahr good. First time out with this one SA I was hitting 4" steel at about 20 yards. I have never done that before. If these had the sight width that the...

    New to Me M36 3"

    If my serial number is 6j20XX, and the J's run from 1J1 to 999J99 how is mine from that era? If the highest number only has 2 digits after the J and mine has 4 digits? Confusing to me.

    New to Me M36 3"

    Picked up a little m36 with a 3" barrel. Very nice condition and nice SA trigger pull and is accurate. I traded a Kahr CM9 for it and think I made a great trade since these aren't everywhere and I can always get a new Kahr CM9 for less than 300. I'm trying to figure out the DOB & real world...

    What is your personal grail gun?

    Guess it would be a old school S&W 29, 4" barrel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    .38 Spl Load Suggestions

    2.6-2.7 gr WST with 148 gr LWC. Good light load that seems to be pretty accurate shooting cans around 15 yards. I also use Clays, BE, W231 and the occasional 2400 for heavy to max load.

    S&W Victory model serial number lookup

    I have a chance to trade for a Victory model. What I am wondering if any Victory models shipped with a nickle finish? This one is a nickle finish. I've only seen the pics so can't say anything else about it except ser# V5630XX, flaming bomb stamp and he says it is 38 special caliber.

    Loads for 38 snubbies

    I'll continue to load my own. I hear this all the time but never have seen proof of anyone convicted because they loaded there own ammo. If it is a righteous shoot you've nothing to worry about. That being said if they want to go after you they will go after you. Oh and I would bet that most +P...

    Please Help Identify This 38 special.

    Thanks to all of you guys! I could have never found the wealth of info that I found here about these handguns. I am glad to hear she is as good to go as my 10-9 because the 10-9 is one of my favorite and most accurate revolvers I own. I hope the M&P starts a little competition with the 10-9...

    Thanks Dave I kinda feel that way myself about it. You guys have the experience hence why I like asking you guys. But I'm new to the Smith game but am loving every new acquisition I make. I now have this M&P Skinny 4", a M10-9 skinny 4", M64 snub and a m60. Really hoping to find a deal on a M10...
