bump thanks for all the trade offers but I'm really looking for cash on this one.

For sale is a S&W 386 Night Guard (386NG). 7-shot .357 magnum with a 2.5-inch barrel and weight of 24.5 oz. XS Tritium big dot front sight and Cylinder and Slide extreme duty u-notch fixed rear sight. This gun has been lightly used and well cared for. Total round count is around 500. Very...

**Sold Pending Funds** This is a like new in box, unfired Smith and Wesson Chief's Special 9mm. Comes with one 7rd magazine, box, and all original papers. I have no idea if this originally came with one magazine or two, but when I bought it, there was only one. Gun is in completely original...

I just got a S&W 39-2 from aimsurplus.com a couple of weeks ago. I've noticed that the hammer has a half-cock position, and while in this position, the safety can't be engaged. I was wondering if it's possible that this is an intentional "feature" so that one could carry the gun off-safe, with...

Hah, yes I'm aware of the Durham registration law. From what I've been able to gather, local leo have been told not to enforce it and the last conviction under that law was in the 60s. Doesn't really matter to me though.. I lost all my guns in a tragic boating accident on Falls Lake last...

One more thing! I emailed TGI, the guys who imported these pistols, and asked if they could give any details about where they came from. This is the reply I got just a few minutes ago: Sir, Other than the Austrian Government/Forest Service/Border Patrol/ Regional Police we don't know anymore...

Hey guys. I'm kind of a lurker around here and don't really post much, but this thread has so much great info, I thought I'd say thanks to everyone who's posted. I also purchased a Model 39 from AIM. I'm pretty sure mine was the last one to leave their warehouse. They told me I "almost lost it"...

Thanks for the advice, guys. I took one more stab at it and was able to narrow it down to the hook on the trigger (or whatever the part of the trigger is called that touches the hammer) like I had suspected. Apparently when I first disassembled everything, I somehow slightly bent the pin that...

Yeah, at this point I'm pretty sure something is bent. There are marks on the inside of the sideplate where part of the trigger is rubbing against it and I think part of the trigger is getting caught on the edge of the channel in the sideplate where the hand rides, which is causing it to not...

Yep. All three screws are slightly different and I made note of which ones go where.

Thanks for the reply, 500. I tried what you suggested and reassembled, leaving out the hammer block. Same problem, pull trigger, no reset. The rebound spring I installed was a 15 lbs spring from Wolff so I figured that would be heavy enough. I never had the reset problem before I took it apart...

I bought a used model 65-4 a couple of months ago. Recently, I started getting a lot of light strikes, so I figured I would just try replacing the springs. I ordered a set from Wolff and followed the disassembly instructions in the FAQ here. Got the springs in with no problem, but now when I put...
