    Barrel Swap on Model 10 2" to 4"

    Riposte 1 and SSGRock. Just when you think you know your Smiths, it's not enough. Glad to find out that parts would be a "process". Thinking about purchasing off ebay a 4" pencil barrel complete from a 10-7 and a cylinder/ crane set up from a 10-6 to obtain a center pin and ejector. Parts are...

    .38 Special or .357 for EDC

    Blast and recoil from a 2" 357 is more than I can effectively use at this point. 3" is negotiable, I have a 60-15 that has 357 158 JHP Blazer ammo and it is managable and accurate. My EDC is a Kimber K6xs loaded with Federal Punch 120grain doing 920 from a 2 inch barrel. I'm a big fan of 2" 6...

    I have an EZ9 and it is a good shooter, but wish I had the safety equipped one.
