I am looking for some help locating a rubber n frame grip with an open backstrap. I am aware of the hogues but I want a rubber grip I can modify at the bottom to be a boot grip, and obviously the hogues attach at the bottom and therefore can’t be chopped there. I have read that the older...

Is the trigger stop on the 327 PC 2 inch snub adjustable? Additionally, is it susceptible to backing out and making the trigger stop short of a full stroke to fire? Should these be removed from a gun intended for self defense, and if so, how are they removed? Thanks in advance!

I had a set of Truglo sights installed by a gunsmith. They required a fair amount of fitting.

Thanks! Have you had any work done by him, and if so, what was it if you don’t mind me asking?

I ordered some m pro 7 ammonia free gun cleaner. I seem to recall the S&W customer service guy mentioning it. I’ll give it a go. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know!

Is Hoppes elite an oil or cleaner?

So far I’ve just used gun oil and a nylon brush but I’m looking for something more effective for the charge holes. I’m not too worried about burn rings as I don’t clean those off my stainless cylinders either.

Someone at S&W told me not to use any product with ammonia in it. Does standard solvent have ammonia?

What cleaning products are acceptable for use on titanium cylinders?

The title says it all. Can anyone recommend any good revolver gunsmiths in the Kansas City area? Thanks!

Is the 686 a 7 shot or 6 shot? Strictly speaking, as a defensive gun (not considering value) I’d rather have 7 shots over 6. If they are both 6 shot then there’s no reason whatsoever to make the trade.

targetsportsusa has some 32 SW Long in stock right now.

I would shoot the 631 and see if you like it. The recoil will be low and gel tests show the Hornady FTX 32 H&R Magnum performs well. If you are worried about it being dirty, etc, just take it to a gun shop and ask them if it looks fit to shoot. Post some pics here and folks may be able to tell...

I use the 5 star 8 round speed loaders.

Last I checked, PrecisionOne had Wadcutters in stock for a reasonable price. They are a small outfit but all the ammo I’ve tried from them was good. Their Wadcutter is actually FMJ as well and they also have a very low recoil 125 grain fmj available.
