    No (Safe) Guns

    There are some really nice bench gun on the market. I've been shooting a 22 bench rest league at my LGC for several years now. Started out with a 10/22 and quickly switched to CZ Varmint, then bought a Tikka, now I'm shooting a Bergara. All very nice guns. So far the Tikka has been the...

    Tried a "new to me" Bourbon this evening

    I'm hearing their 14 Year Old is one of the best bourbons out for 2025. But at $150 A bottle I don't expect to be sipping it anytime soon. I don't care how Jack Daniels want market their whiskey, it's bourbon. Be it Tennessee or Kentucky or any other US state if it meets the definition of...

    If you could only pick 2 ultimate classics

    Only two? Pre-Model 29 5-Screw w/cokes or 29-5 DX 5" and a Model 17-1. That's three I know. Since the OP requested wood stocks I guess I have go with the 5-Screw 44 & 17-1. I got to say I'm getting close to my picks. I lucked out and found a real nice 29 No Dash with a set of cokes, my...

    Tried a "new to me" Bourbon this evening

    That's the problem, I shouldn't say problem it's just a matter of opinion. Everyone's palette is different so when discussing taste or heat it all subjective. I haven't had the triple oaked but I've had Angles Envy and it good but not that good, A bit over priced & hyped. My brother gave me...

    My recently acquired Model 10

    The humble Model 10, it's the gateway drug of revolvers. I was fortunate enough to receive this gun as a gift from a friend. It was his fathers gun and my buddy not being a gun guy gifted it to me. Everyone should have one.

    General revolver values?

    I have to agree with the consensus here, those prices are high. A good source of information on S&W is the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson, 4th or 5th Editions (Amazon). They will answer most of your questions. Detail descriptions of each Model and value guidelines. Also, Gunbroker as a...

    Why is this happening

    You mention that you've used these primers in several other calibers with no problems. What kind of 10mm brass are you using? Possible bad lot of brass? Oversized primer hole?

    House fire gun

    Considering a S&W project gun that went through a house fire. Cosmetic work a side, my question is about the functioning parts? At minimum, I would think springs would need to be replaced. Would trigger, sear, hammer be affected? Also, is the frame still structurally sound? Just trying to...

    Decision on What SW 44 Magnum to Buy

    5" is the sweet spot for me. I have a 5" 629 & 610. I also have 6-1\2" 29 but it's a no dash, she's my collector.

    One charge hole won’t stage - help

    I agree with your response and understand the effect of and difference between inertia carry up and mechanical. I've been aware of that and when testing timing would use the dragging method you described. When shooting (I'm lefty) I normally thumb the hammer back and have never experienced a...

    It's 610 day, lets see 'em

    One thing I've learned on the S&W forum, when it comes to S&W never say never. There's nothing in the latest catalog about why or when they moved the serial #.

    One charge hole won’t stage - help

    This all sounds good in theory but I can't believe its a very common occurrence given the number of S&W revolvers out there. Are you saying it's a combination of tolerance stack ups creating enough play in the action to affect the timing? Make me understand. Back to the OPs question, his...
