I do have some wood grips on the hopefully sometime this week so we'll see if out makes a difference. I did mean to bring my Oakley gloves with me this last time but of course forgot. Wish I would have kept my model 36 that thing was such a smooth sweet shooter but I haven't given up on the air...
Hoping when my new grips get here I'll be able to hang on to it a little better with a 4 finger grip but if not it may go up for trade. Hopefully for a all steel version
Finally got out to shoot it and to be honest I'm surprised by how punishing it is. I didn't think that it would be that much worse then the model 36 I had or any of the other all steel snub nose but man. I fired about 50 rounds half +p and half regular and while shooting the plus p the recoil...
I like the pocket holsters too. I have a uncle mikes that I've had for years. Carries a m36 a charter arms undercover a Taurus 85 and a Rossi once a long time ago it works perfect. I'm still thinking D about the hip grips it is convient but for the pocket I thought maybe wood would be better so...
Another thing I was surprised about that I see a lot of people complaining about with these newer smiths is the cylinder to barrel gap. The gap on this one is almost non existent. Much less then my 76 77 produced model 10
Thanks guys I was pretty pleased. Been doing pretty good with the smiths lately. Got a pretty much flawless model 10-6 with rosewood altamont grips for 350 a while back too. I'm happy to have another j frame really missed my old model 36.
He said he only bought it new a few months ago and I believe him. He replaced it with a glock 42 not sure why but yay for me. Here's a few pics. This one is it with my sig p938 that was my summer carrying ill myself ode decided to snatch it.
Well picked it up today and it's deffiently stainless. I've had a few of the all steel snubs but never have had a airweight and am honestly surprised by how lite it is. It's a 637-2 so it has the pointless lock on it but the bore is clean and shiny the lock up is better then my model 10-6 and...
Been looking for a j frame since my wife decided that my sig p938 was her new carry gun and with warm weather coming I don't want to lug around my m&p. Found an ad on armslist for a 642 so I messaged the guy and set up the meet for tomorrow. After getting pictures I noticed it had an exposed...
