    Mismarked frame 627

    Looking further, the firing pin must be broken. I pressed on it and get nothing protruding toward the cylinder. Looks like I’ll be replacing that soon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Mismarked frame 627

    It shoots great up until today. I’m not getting primer strikes anymore. None. I got it straight from a gun store managers personal collection. He had the action slicked up so it may have something to do with that. I’ll either send it to SAW or have my local guy work on it. Sent from my...

    Mismarked frame 627

    I’ve got a 627 4” 8 shot pro series 357. It’s labeled 629-8. I was wondering if this is rare or common. Thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    How bulletproof is a solid wood door?

    I own a custom door shop. I've used a wood called ipe and I'd put it up against a bullet. That stuff feels denser than aluminum! Taking orders. Granddoorcompany.com No guarantees against bullets though. It'd be so purty that a bad guy wouldn't shoot it anyway. You could take him out...

    A Different Sort of 1911

    My granddad left me a series 70 colt in 9 mm. I'm about to send it off to be built into a target gun. Maybe I'll give it to my future grandson. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    629-1 Info

    I bought that gun in 1988. Don't recall the dash #. It's a Classic Hunter. I originally read that it was limited to 5000 I believe. The model 29 Classic Hunter had an adjustable front sight. 4 position I believe. I regret that I sold it in 2001. I just replaced it last week with a PC 629...

    New to me Stealth Hunter-info?

    Open sights. Resting on a 2x4. Sights covered entire target stand, so my hold may explain the flyers. Optics would help. That's on my list.

    New to me Stealth Hunter-info?

    Howdy fellers. I'm pretty new around here. I had an awesome 629 classic hunter that I bought in 1988. Problem is I went into business for myself and had to let it go in the early years. I promised myself I'd replace it one day. Although it's not quite the same, today is the day. Just...
