Ruger Speed Six Thank you guys. I appreciate your input. Oh and Erich I promise you i will have the biggest pork tenderloin I can find which is served at an Irish eating establishment called Nine Irish Brothers. The darn things are as large as a formal dinner plate and at least 1/2 inch think...

Hi Guys, I know this is a S&W forum and the only forum I belong to but I was hoping one of you might be a Ruger Speed Six fan. In the 1980 when I still had little knowledge of revolvers and what I liked I purchased a new Ruger Speed Six 4" barrel blue 357 mag. I shot maybe a box full and for...

Can anyone tell me if any model 66's or 67's (pre lock) has front sight blades that could removed and exchanged for other shapes e.g. ramp vs blade? WP

Hi Guys and maybe Gals, Has anyone ever had Mark Hartshorne of Pinnacle High Performance out of Quakertown PA. work on their revolver? I was looking at his website and he offers an interesting conversely for S&W K, L ,and N frame 357 revolvers. He changes the cylinders to shoot 9mm, 38 super and...

The Plug Thank you so much guys. I have more than enough info to order a couple of plugs. Oh and Blackshirt putting in the pic of your modified revolver let me see how great the plug looks. I understand why S&W added the lock but I don't understand why they put it in such and obvious place...

Hi folks, If my question has been beaten to death please forgive me. My priorities have changed this past year and I don't have the luxury of checking this forum as often as I would like. My question is "does any one manufacture the plug these days?" A few years ago I was corresponding with a...

Luger Hi again, Sorry folks...I don't want to keep posting but a number of you have contacted me off line suggesting places to purchase a Luger and I truly appreciate the information. My problem..I think..is that i know nothing, nada about Lugers and I know most people are honest but I would...

Luger Thanks everyone, As usual you've all given me good info and I have some places to start now. I'm looking for a 9mm. The parts can be mismatched. It just has to function well and be "reasonably accurate". This will be a gift for a friend who just wants a "shooter". He's big into 1911's...

Good morning everyone, I have a very strange request and I'm not certain where to post it but want a place that reaches lots of readers so I'm hoping the moderators don't ding this. I am looking for a Luger (a shooter...not collection piece). It doesn't matter how it looks but needs to very...

Hi Guys, At my age I have most of the firearms I need or perhaps even want. Now I'm looking for those select few. Here is my dream: I want to find a matching set (not serial #'s etc) of revolvers. A 4" N frame S&W blued 45 Colt and the same frame, barrel and steel in a 45 acp which I believe...

3.5 combat 28 Very nice Jim. Who did that wonderful bluing job? Remember the 3" 41 Mag I got from Mike G? You posted some pics for me on this site. If you still have those or I can resend some for you to look at. Mike had someone in California make a very small fixed rear sight to fill the slot...

When I first saw one of the new 686 pro models my first thought was "Ugh" but somehow over the months I've "developed" an appreciation for the shape of the revolver especially the 4" model. Does anyone have experience shooting one of the 4" pros? How does it compare to the "old" style 686? I'm...

3" 686 Lew Horton etc Jim, Oh boy, Oh boy, Oh boy, Oh boy, I may just have to pay you a visit this summer. So Cool WP/Bill

Who wants plug I would take 2. One for 686 and one for 617, Also I'm saving my money for a 686 SSR and I would need 1 for that two. No that makes 3 :-) WP
