Exactly! If I wanted .40 S&W ballistics, that's what I would have chosen. My M&P 10mm 2.0 suffers all of the problems noted in these threads. Mag drops, failures to feed, sending loaded rounds from the magazine out the ejection port... I have installed the Apex extractor, heavier recoil and...

Love the .30 Carbine, and like you, I had to have the Blackhawk.. I don't find the recoil very bad... BUT IT IS FREAKING LOUD!!! :)

I have been trying to get my 10mm M&P to behave now for a couple of years. I have tried different recoil spring rates, magazine springs and have installed the Apex extractor. Failures have decreased, but I still can't trust the gun to fire a full magazine without a failure to feed (round...

I mostly use 9mm because that's what I carry. And I do leave most of the brass on the ground.... But I will not leave any .22 Jet brass!

Just a little update on my continuing saga of getting a "Modern" .32-20. I built the liner out of the AK barrel and got it installed in a 4" Model 15 barrel. I found an old .32-20 Cylinder on Ebay and have it installed in the frame with a Power hand, and is indexing right. Just have to get...

So, just a little update on my old post... I bought one of JS Sales Model 10 barrel less actions and have fitted an old 1905 .32-20 cylinder to it. Now I just need to rebore that Model 15 barrel (gave up on the .22 barrels), make the liner from the AK barrel and get it fitted. Slow progress...

Be wary of the P365SAS sight system. I made the mistake of buying a P365SAS. The neat sight shot 4" right and 7" low at FIVE YARDS. This is a common problem with them. Ended up cramming some .005" shims under and to the side of the sight, now it is good windage and only an inch or so high...

Ok, I have an AK47 barrel. I know it isn't the best diameter for this project at .310" but I can adapt in my bullet sizing. As a machinist, I have no problem cutting and turning it down to make a barrel liner for this project. I envision boring out the Smith and Wesson barrel to just a little...

I have a .30 Carbine Blackhawk.. Wonderful gun, but much heavier than what I envision. I just want a K frame, non underlugged 4 or 6 inch .32-20. I wish I could go back in time when someone was still reboring and rifling short barrels! Thank you all for your input!

Hello folks, and thank you for letting me join here. To get to the point: I want a Modern .32-20 Smith and Wesson Revolver. I have finally accumulated what I think would be the necessary parts.. I have a Model 15 .38 Special, a 6" Model 48 barrel and a Model 17 cylinder and crane. I...
