    342 Ti

    I too carry a 342 in an ankle holster or pocket holster, I have no interest in a 340 with magnums after shooting one, once, for about three rounds. Luckily it was a range rental and then I bought a 342. Good 38's will do just fine and the weight is great. BTW I purchased mine in 2004 and it...

    Priming Tool Recommendations

    I have had several off press priming tools and my current favorite is the Forester, I like the feel and like this reviewer I mounted in to a board. No extra shell holders to buy. I have some other 21st Century tools and I am sure that it is good stuff as well. Both companies make top notch...

    Suppressors - do they make sense? If they do, then when?

    I have 12 cans, a can on a 22 semi auto is the most fun. Great way to introduce someone to shooting. I do have my own 100 yard range at home and my neighbors appreciate the quieter shooting. I have a can on a 300Blk 8.5" AR that folds, it is my discrete carry gun for Church. The case also...

    New member , looking to get my first gun

    Welcome to the group. One other suggestion, see if you can find a Women on Target Clinic near you. My wife went to one at a gun range about 30 miles away and enjoyed it a great deal. Most of the women in the class were very new to shooting and the instructors took them through several types...

    This makes no sense does it? Model 28 Frankengun

    I have a few revolvers that were modified by Jim Stroh, they are all things I wanted, S&W didn't offer but I love them. It is worth it to me, does it make practical sense...probably not. Here is what I ended up with 629-3 44 magnum 5" barrel with a tuned action, Stroh front sight on both of the...

    SOLD S&W PPC and Shorty Forty Mk3 / 357 sig

    Boy this is an example of a poor memory. In checking into Red Cardinal's question I went and checked the box and the original front and rear sight were in a small bag. When I sent the pistol to Bar-sto I had asked them to put on a fixed rear sight and a front sight with "night sights". They...

    SOLD S&W PPC and Shorty Forty Mk3 / 357 sig

    Not a far as I know Red Cardinal, the sights have not been changed as far as I know. I did not purchase the pistol new. I could send more photos if you would like.

    Model 65 3" dilemma, need help

    Personally I too like the shrouded extractor rod on the LS but from a practical point I have never bend the rod on my J frame that I carry in my pocket. Granted it is in a holster all the time. I don't think the weigh difference is significant at all when it comes to recoil. I think I am...

    Convert a 686 from .357 Mag to .44 Spl

    kensnra, You had asked if anyone knew of a pistolsmith that could do such a conversion. Jim Stroh the owner of Alpha Precision (Alpha Precision - Custom gunsmithing at it's finest.) did a similar project for me. Jim does all the work himself and he does an excellent work. I started with a...

    make a .44 spec from M27?

    It could be done but it will cost you as much as another revolver. To rebore the barrel to .429 is $150. Then you will need a new cylinder from S&W which will be about $80. You will need someone to fit it and probably reblue it and of course freight back and forth for the various places. If...

    Anyone know what frame size the S&W model 53 .22 Jet Magnum is?

    According to the "Standard Catalog of Smith and Wesson" third edition it is a square butt K frame four screw produced from 1961 to 1974. Hope that helps.
