My latest purchase, HK P2000

A friend I shoot with has several EPS rigs for his Western guns. Top notch quality. So I was in need of a belt holster for my 1911. I wanted one for OWB with a snap strap. I ordered the Strongside Select from EPS. Upon its arrival I was, very underwhelmed. The leather on the strap was thin and...

HKS. Been using the same ones I bought for the Academy in july 1981. They just work.

I knew of them, but never saw one in any gun shop in my area. Three years ago, went shooting with a buddy. He brought his two Schofields, both in 45 Colt. After shooting his I became interested. Last year decided to order one from Taylors and Co. They were on back order. Go figure. Well last...

I just bought a new Les Baer Custom Carry. They recommend shooting 500 -1000 rounds through it before disassembling and cleaning. Im at the 850 round mark, and the withdrawal symptoms are starting to subside.

In that case , that part of the screw was missing. It was all threads, and looked to have been shortened at some time. Ok so I just ordered a new Yoke Screw from Numrich. We'll start this all over again from scratch.

Sweet, S&W does good work!

I bought a S&W Mod. 19-4 when I graduated the academy in 1981. I carried it for about five years before we transitioned to semi auto's. Every day I worked it was exposed to the elements, rain (we didn't cover our guns under the yellow rain coats), salt air from the ocean. Even had a chunk...

Ok I removed both screws. Both are the same length. The front screw appears to have been shortened (fitted) at some point. So what I did was take out the yoke & cylinder. Clean and lube things. Reassemble and test. Still too much resistance. Removed screw, and using a fine knife sharpening...

Thats inspiring. I will swap the the side plate screws around. Lets see how that works. Thank You for the quick response.

Hi everyone. Question / Concern. I just recently purchased, what appears to be, a barely used, very clean, S&W Mod. 13-3. Inspected it the best I could prior to taking possession. No problems noted. I picked it up after the ten day waiting period Friday. Took it home cleaned it, and noticed...

Living in Southern California.

Funny it took me two years to post something. Its been about two years since I took that .32 out of the box. Now all of a sudden I have an urge to find out more about it. Good idea on trading the box.

Thank you all for the warm welcome, and Hondo44 thank you for that information on my little .32. Ill get you the serial number as soon as I get home from work. So I was born in 1956, my dad wanted my mom to have a gun because he was out to sea a lot. We'll have to see what the serial number...

My modest collection of S&W Handguns. Mod. 19-4 (Graduation present 1981 Police Academy), 340PD, and lastly ? My question to you most knowledgeable souls. What do I got? .32 Long CTG. 2 inch. No model number. All I know is that my Dad bought it for my mom, early 50's maybe. The box its...
