Great buyer, fast payment, good communication. Can't ask for any more than that!

I picked up a 4" 10 shot recently. It came from an individual on a website in my state. I paid $625 for it, but it came with a target hammer I sold on this site for $40, so I've got $585 in it. It was practically new, so really anywhere around $600 +/- I think is alright. Fantastic accuracy-...

Greetings! To your question: There are several reasons the trigger pull could be heavier- none of which we can really answer without handling them. Yes, it can effect accuracy. This effect can be overcome through practice and training. Neither- put a couple hundred rounds through the...

****SPF to SAFireman****Holster on left fits a 4" k-frame. It is stamped S&W with the numbers 22 & 34 on the back. Shows sign of use, wear and skuff marks; stitching in good shape. Holster on right fits a 4" l-frame. I was told it was made by Gould and Goodrich, but I can't confirm. Shows some...

In a word- "no."

****SOLD*****4" Model 66 No Dash, P&R, all Stainless Sights. Revolver has signs of normal wear with some scratches and an odd "patch" of scratches underneath the grips (don't know what caused them- don't even see how it could happen, but it's there). Grips have a chip (see photo) and minor wear...

Monday-Wednesday, the -4 is the "best." Thursday- Sunday, the -5 is the "best." :D I can say that my 6" -5, full lug is one of the most accurate handguns I have ever shot. Locks up in such a way to make a Colt blush and has a great trigger. It is MIM, but that's given me zero problems so far...

Hmmm...maybe Yep!:D

Can't quite go with the OP on this one. Even if the sp101 was $250 lower than a 617, I wouldn't bite. In the long term scheme of things, $250 is a small price to pay to get what you really want. I've owned (note the tense) 3 sp101s. I own (note the tense) every Smith I've ever purchased. I am...

PM sent for ftf or shipping.

Correct- or better said, I didn't hear the primer go off (I wear some pretty intense hearing protection). I thought it was a misfire. When I went to check it is when I found I couldn't open the cylinder. I agree with you, that is a good practice. But I have seen guys continue to fire after a...

The round that jammed everything up was the round being fired; in-line with the barrel. The bullet was stuck in the barrel with just a hair left in the case. I wouldn't have noticed it after all was said and done except I saw that the primer had been struck.

OK, a little update here. It bothered me greatly that the bullet "pulled" because I always put an ultra tight crimp on them. I checked out my reloading gear and all was fine. I then happened to look at the cases and rounds that came out of the jammed cylinder and that's when it hit me...

Swooo! OK, I was wrong and you guys were right. I did have a bullet pull out BIG TIME. Long story short, I have spent the evening learning more about j-frames than I ever thought I would. At least now I know I can tear one down (as in, to the frame) and put it back together. I had to do...
