    Strange blemish under crane on 642

    I had my inclinations but wanted to be sure. Out of the hundreds of pictures I've seen I'd never seen a mark like that. Wait, WHAT? You mean yours doesn't have that too?:eek::D

    Strange blemish under crane on 642

    I've had this for well over a year now. At the time, no lock 642's were somewhat of a rarity around my area so when I found this one at a great price I didn't check it over as best I could. It wasn't till a few days after I had purchased it that I noticed this strange mark under the crane...

    J-frames & 60 Pro grips!

    Thanks again Stainz for all the info. He ain't kiddn' about the comfort these grips provide. They also almost force a high hold grip, which is great for fast shooting! Here's a 642 with them on.

    One more time (642 finish ?)

    Thanks Decker, that's all I needed to hear. I contacted S&W just to get some info, but every time they give me the catch all "send it in, we need to look at it", which I really don't want to have to do, not for a small part on the inside of the frame.

    One more time (642 finish ?)

    Sorry guys, I know this one has been beaten to death, but I just need some clarification. Like an idiot, I used a lead remover cloth on my 642 around the forcing cone and low and behold, removed the finish in that area. Apparently I have OCD when it comes to guns and couldn't leave that spot...

    AMMO TALK

    Fed A-M Anyone have any experience with Federal Auto-Match? Googling M&P15-22 and Fed Auto-Match brings up quite a few reports of OOB incidents, something I'd like to avoid if at all possible.

    Help me understand lockup.

    Last Time! OK, I swear to GOD this is my last post on the matter. I rigged up a crappy $70 camera and got a video of the play in action. YouTube - M64.mov Note that this gun is DAO, so to get to full lockup I need to dry fire. Again I'd like to thank everyone for their responses and look...

    Help me understand lockup.

    To be clear, the place I brought my pistol to have it checked over is actually a Gander Mountain that works as a warranty center for S&W; although the gunsmiths there did seem extremely knowledgeable. What's kinda weird about my gun is that while lockup and rest exhibit similar levels of...

    Help me understand lockup.

    Thanks for the reply's.:) There is little to no endshake and the timing is alright. Accuracy is good to. So yeah, it seems I'm obsessing over nothing.

    Help me understand lockup.

    A couple other bits of info I should have included. Mine is a 64-6, so MIM parts but no IL. It's been rendered DAO. I HAVE fired some 150 rounds or so without any lead spitting or any buildup or noticeable wear on the forcing cone.

    Help me understand lockup.

    Howdy! New S&W owner here who is a little confused. Just recently I purchased a Model 64 trade in from J&G Sales. Not to long ago I inherited my grandfathers pre Model 10 from his time on the force and found myself completely smitten for K frames, and while I was (am) in love I didn't want to...
