I hear you, brother after hearing all these horror stories lately I’m done too.

You’re better off, giving them a call and explaining to them what happened and talking to a live person.

As long as we keep buying nothing will change. I believe they don’t even test fire any of the firearms before going out the door they leave that up to us to do. The only way to get their attention is to stop buying and letting them know why. If you’re on this forum you’ll probably an experienced...

Mother‘s mag wheel polish some Q-tips and a Dremel with a very small tip. A Dremel with a felt tip on medium speed and I can’t emphasize this enough take it slow and don’t go too far into the chamber after you’ve done the chambers use some Q-tips and swirl them around to clean the excess out...

There is a set on eBay now.$$$$

Don’t discount the Kimber K6S it’s all stainless steel six shot 357 Magnum. I know Kimber had issues and always did with their semi auto’s but I own one of these revolvers and it’s beautifully made beautiful trigger. It reminds me of one of the older colt Python’s..

What you want is a pre 1996 640-1 no MIM parts. There were some transition guns made where they did a mix of both in early 1996. You can usually tell by the forged trigger and the older style cylinder latch.

As much as I love my J Frames my Ruger LCR has the best trigger then all of my Smith’s

Did a deal with him today. Very nice person to deal with great communication and super fast payment.

I had the bright idea of getting a Ruger LCR in 9mm….it wasn’t one of my better ideas. No matter what grip I put on unless it was a giant one which defeated the purpose of a nice small pocket size gun. Sold it after 3 range visits.

SOLD I’m putting up for sale my brand new discontinued S+W 438 38+p 38 special. It comes it comes in original box with all the paperwork. I believe the gun was test fired. The fired case envelope shows it was made in 2011. The barrel on this has a beautiful blue dark finish not like the guns...

This thread is so sad to read what a great company Smith & Wesson WAS i’ve been buying their revolvers all my life. I stopped about 10 years ago. The ones I have are keepers the last one I bought after carefully inspecting it was a 438 it was mint condition but it was sold as used. Like someone...

I would keep it as a collectors item and not a shooter cylinder parts for that are pretty hard to come by.

You can try backing off ever so slightly on the cylinder release screw.

I don’t think they ever made a 638 without the Hillary hole. I wanted the 438 because of the black finish I find it holds up better than the silver finish on all their other J frames.
