I have read a very brief comment about DIY (but not easy) sight replacement for fixed sight revolvers. I think it was in this Forum. If anyone has any idea as to the 'smith who made them and, hopefully, how they were installed please share the comments. Thanks.

I have a pair of Elk stag horn grip panels enroute. Curious to know something about their care, maintence, and dumb calamities to avoid. Kinda like Hoppes#9 (or some such common gunny chemicals to avoid. Never had a concern about bench chemicals on Antique ivory or Stag horn grip panels...

Post WW2 or Korea Zippo I have a bring back Zippo from either post WW2 or the Korean War. Brought back by a favorite uncle. It was 'engraved' but there wasn't anything proper about the engraved image. Although it was brought back home by a young soldier who had gone to see the elephant and...

Cartoon police. I kinda liked the tounge'ncheek comments of Fearless Fosdick.

I will take them.

405 g Crimson Trace grip panels on my 638-2 Bodyguard needs 2 (but considering my poor vision and how forgetful I am) needs two...but would like to buy 4) laser adjustment screw wrenches. If anyone knows for sure the size of those adjustment screw slots I can order mini allen wrenches from...

It is a pre lock 638-2. Although it is a 'pocket revolver' it is kinda obvious in my jeans as well as awkward and slow. If it wasn't a Bodyguard design or my Chief's Special didn't have a bobed hammer there wouldn't be a problem. So far locating an OWB j frame that would securely either of my...

Can't read even with Huge print. Title that reads "own" should read "is OWB".

Vision problems coming up in a few weeks and looking for a way to carry a CT equipped pocket pistola. If it's a J frame I am unsure about to ring a secure own holster for the Bodyguard style. Maybe if Sgt.Joe Friday was still around I could ask him. Your suggestions appreciatec. Thanks, salty.

Thanks to all. Serial number is K 243198. Mr. Watson, its been a long time since THR. Glad to see you again. Didn't know about Model# designation harn't started when this one was assembled. Neither did I know a .22rf could be a 'hand ejector'. I made my inquiry in the wrong sub forum...

Title pretty much explains question. Excelent condition .22rf. Trip panels seem to match, diamonds sharp, one grip panel has serial matches the# on butt of frame. Thing is, I can't find the Model #. Numbers are on the inner surface of crane meets the frame (terminology suks). Anyone out...

It has been a while since I have seen a post from Mr. Watson. I haven't been living in a cave and become reclusive just yet. It is good to see you again. salty.

Thanks for your response. I will not use the 9bple in the Sig 228 or the BHP. But since I have two 3913s and the 39 Series does have an extra bit of grenade preventitive, the le+p+ will see occasional range and some carry use. The price on the 9bple was real good.I I appreciate the comments.

I was gifted a case of Federal 9BPLE +P. My only s&w is a 3913LS. It has a single locking lug. I don't know if that and whatever internal lock-up is stout enough to handle this BPLE +P load. Has anyone had any significant experience with +P in the 3rd Gen 39 series pistols? Thanks

Bianchi marketed a dual magazine carrier identified as their Model 30 'CLIP GRIP'. It was avail in 9mm and 45 for single stack mags. I'd like to buy a few.
