My 617 is a better shooter than I am and it will outshoot a Browning Buckmark. You have a tough decision to make or get them both. Buy them you'll like them. Stinger

All of these stones belonged to my father, a machinist. There is one old one which belonged to my grandfather. I use all of these stones along with soft and hard Arkansas stones.Thanks for your help. Stinger

I think I will get some good information. I have some older sharpening stones and I would like to clean them. THEY WILL NOT BE USED ON GUNS. They will be used for knives, chisels and carving tools. Can they be soaked in gasoline or kerosene? These car carborundum stones. Thanks for the help.

I saw an image of a pre Mod. 10, 4" pencil barrel and round butt., circa 1921. The gun has a Hogue grip and NO other grips. Owner is asking $325. or offer. Give me some thoughts on this one. Thanks for your help...

Once the horses are all in the gate. BE READY, if you are not ready IT IS YOUR FAULT. That is horse racing. I enjoyed watching him run and gladthe reins did not come down and trip him up.

Troopers carried the Mod. 38 in a front pocket. Holster was sewn into the pocket. They were taught to have their hand on the gun when they made a traffic stop. They used the guns for qualifications. My best friend was in the MSP and I got the info from him. This was back in the early 70's...

I have two Browning O/U's. The first is a Citori 12ga. I purchased about 14 years ago and I really like it. Screw in chokes and nice wood. About 6 years ago I was gifted a 12 ga. Superposed from the 50's and it has a set of tubes so I can shoot 20 ga., 28 ga. and .410. It is faster and...

PLEASE count me in. THANK YOU very much for your generosity. I am left-handed and a big fan of J-frame revolvers. Stinger

A friend has purchased a Mod. 66-3 the are some slight marks in the area that has been blasted. He questioned me on how to get rid of them. I offer up this to the forum. I have not seen the gun or the marks(abrasions). Would Scotch-Brite pads work on this? Thanks for the help with this...

Please consider me, THANKS VERY MUCH. Stinger

The DPD issued revolvers were mostly nickel plated. They issued S&W Model 10, 5" barrel and Colt Official Police, 5" barrel nickel plated. At time some confiscated guns were stamped and issued. Detectives could have a S&W or Colt snub nose as issued guns. They would be 6 shot revolvers.

Find someone in a harness or tack shop. The stitching could probably be repaired with hand stitching.

What is the price range these days for Mod. 19 with a 4" barrel, nickel? I might have the option on one, friend is bringing it over for a look. There aren't many details, pre-'73, no box, no original grips and was carried by an LEO. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I like a MIKA pocket holster with my 442 and shirt out and over the pockets.

Thank you for your service. Some folks recommend #2 shot and 0 Buck alternating. Only a deaf person would ignore the sound of a pump shotgun loading one into the chamber.
