Hi, I' need a standard (not a night sight) fixed rear sight for a 5946 - I believe Novak made them for S&W. I think any 3rd gen 59XX sight will work. Well worn is fine, as I'm gonna do some whackin' on it. Thanks, Will

Yes - yes again

Has anyone ever chrome plated their revolver chambers? Seems like it would aid ejection and make cleaning a snap.

So Lee was several years ahead of Clint in running a 29!

Have you ever seen the film-noir pic "Point Blank" (1967) starring Lee Marvin? Great flick! Lee uses an N-frame Smith with a 4inch non-tapered barrel and a red insert front sight. Does anyone know what model he's using?

I've got two 625-3 and a 625-4 with the 5 inch barrel - they are great fun to shoot. You don't need moonclips, but clips are easy to use and make for fast reloading. You can get a 100 new clips from Ranch Products for something like $35, that will last you forever unless you shoot a LOT. Have a...

What is your preferred method of chamfering an extractor on a S&W revo?

I’ve found that all else being equal, there is no difference in accuracy in bullet type – it all depends on the individual gun/ powder combo. WC, SWC and RN are all capable of excellent accuracy when mated with the right load in the right revo. But if you’re looking for a quality BNL bullet at a...

Is it the ammo or the gun? If your HP has run fine for 100's/ 1000's of rounds and it was just this one box of .357s - suspect the ammo. Try running it through a know good revo and see if you get FTFs. If you suspect the gun - make sure the strain screw is fully tightened. Tighter = more spring...

You can actually get very good deals on once fired 38/ 357 brass from guys who have contracts with indoor ranges. The brass is almost certainly once fired - all revo shooters who reload just eject their emptys into their hand and keep their brass. All the folks who have a model 10 or a GP 100...

They didn't

I may be mistaken, but the newest two peice barrel 67s are the dash 6 models - Craig Buckland is using them to dominate the SSR division in IDPA. S&W has gone back to the one piece barrel this past summer and I think those are dash 7s. The revo pictured with the failure is a dash 5 - could it be...

Very True 18 DAI. I was just covering my bases should the right priced -7 present itself.

There are a fair number of 66-7s coming on the market. Most seem to be Australian LE trade-ins with the usual “carried a lot, shot a little” disclaimer. They have the advantages of the later K frames, such as a beefier fame, and the disadvantages, such as the IL. I’m interested in their accuracy...
