Nice. I picked up a CDOC 2" 64 a few years ago when a batch hit the market. It's a fantastic gun. If more hit the market I'd be likely to get another.

Maybe I misunderstand, but I show a whole ton of PC wheelguns on the S&W site. Performance Center Revolvers

I was at my local shop trading a couple bottom feeders for a 3" 686 3-5-7, and another fellow was in there interested in one of the 5" 3-5-7 models. The owner had a couple of those, and let him pick between one from the back and one from the case. The one from the back had the 357 grips unique...

I'd think a good sibling to that 69 would be a 66. Family resemblance and all.

Part of the problem is that Sandy Hook happened right after Obama's reelection. There was a run on stuff right after his first election, then another after the second, and SH hammered that one home in a huge way. Depending on what one is looking for, it can be easy or hard to find. Primers...

I have both a 642 and a BG38. IMO, the 642 is a better comparison to the BG38- both are DAO 5 shot .38spl revolvers. The 642 definitely feels like a higher quality piece in every way. Still, I find I shoot the BG38 just as well. Reason being, the trigger is a bit lighter and the plastic...

I see a lot of that complaint with the new mod 66 too... my thinking is similar to yours- with the detent slightly off center when in lockup it provides just a slight touch of thrust to keep it closed. If it were perfectly centered then it would potentially allow some wiggle unless everything...

This. A SRH Sourdough with the belt loops should work just fine.

I'll admit I don't have a large round count through my TRR8, but so far so good. If you shoot hot loads with light bullets you might have a potential issue with eroding the shield above the chamber/cylinder gap, but mine is just fine (I prefer 158gr loads). It's surprisingly easy to shoot...

As far as I can tell, the only difference is the barrel "shroud." The M&P R8 has the molded in rail with no cut out (so they can put the big rollmark there), the TRR8 has a detachable rail there and a cutout. The frame, cylinder, barrel, sights, grips, etc., all seem to be the same. I'm really...

Wow, I had no idea they made so few of the TRR8/M&P R8 guns (I'd say they're siblings more than cousins; that TRR8 lower rail being detachable is the only difference). Mine is outstanding; it's astonishingly accurate. While it's a light gun compared to a full steel N frame, it's still very...

Somebody more knowledgable is certainly welcome to chime in here, but generally, you will find that a gun's sights are generally set up for a given load. For a .45ACP, the standard load is a 230 grain bullet moving at ~850fps. If you go to a lighter bullet moving faster, the trajectory changes a...

The OP wasn't... said it was 125gr +P, and that will shoot a shade low (not high). But as for yours, given how S&W regulates their sights, I would expect POI for 158gr standard pressure rounds to be right at POA. If something is off with yours, then something is off... as I said, if things...

Regular 27s seem to be chambered for 6 (never seen one that wasn't). The 627 and 327 will be 8 round cylinders (again, every one I've seen was an eight shooter).

From what I've found with my fixed sight .38spl revolvers (I don't have one of the new Bodyguards, but that's not to say I wouldn't mind one), they seem to be regulated for 158gr standard pressure ammunition. If you go with lighter +P rounds, I find those tend to shoot to a lower POA. But I...
