Maybe it's my phone but that picture is about the size of a quarter and looks like it was taken with a calculator. Edit:never mind I got it to load.

I bought a 640-3 about six months ago and shoot it every time I go. Today I noticed that I'm more accurate with this stubby than any other handgun I own. That includes my model 10, 36, Glock 19, and my Colt .45. All the same distance and shooting the same speed as far as I can tell. I thought...

I shot it this morning. Great gun. I found shooting it more enjoyable than any of my other Smiths. I do not like the grips and will be buying some replacements. Probably just some Altamonts. After getting it home and looking more into the grips I do believe they are real pearl. Any idea how...

Is there any way to find out? All I know is an elderly lady came into my local shop with a few guns to put on consignment. Her husband had died a few months earlier and she had no surviving family. My shop called me straight away because they knew I would want it. I believe this gun to be...

Thanks jack. I will do that.

Thanks dude!!! That would work perfectly. Is there any places online that make them new?

I have a sport model M&P and want to put a carry handle on it. I already bought the detachable one and didn't like it. I want to buy an A2 upper with sight and dust cover. My questions are: Can I transfer the barrel and bolt and all the other stuff to the new upper? If yes will it still be as...

Is there lead in the smoke?
