    Next grail... 686 or 629 MG:

    Get a 629 6" and have it cut down to 5" so you don't have to deal with that ugly full lug! I did this, had Mark Hartshorne do the work plus some extra. I'll make a separate post with pictures but it was my "grail gun" since Smith and Wesson never really made one.

    S&W Model 19 announcement

    We youngins (just turned 30) are keeping them in business and this should help too! Let me offer a little insight as to why any of us are buying pistols like this. I know that an IL and MIM is a deal breaker for the forum guys but the younger and newer crowd who love wheel guns have previously...

    Winchester .357 mag 145 gr Silvertip

    Not to gloat (too much) but I found several boxes of the 145gr for $27.95/50 in Salt Lake City today. I honestly thought the packaging was a throw back but when I looked at the font it seemed original. Does anyone have any production dates or know when they were discontinued? I'm interested to...

    Personal Intro and new Model 66

    Apparently I made an intro 4 years ago when I got the 686+ and the simply rugged holster for the 6" but the rest of the post still stands. -Stephen

    Personal Intro and new Model 66

    Hi, I've owned 2 other revolvers which were both 686+'s (the 6" super tuned and a 2.5") but never fell in love with them and sold them as the market got crazy (6" in Sept. 2011 and 2.5" in May 2013). In June, I purchased one of the new Model 66-8 4" pistols. I feel like the 4" K frame is the...

    New Member, New Gun, and looking for a holster...

    Thank you everyone especially those who took the time to post pics and make suggestions. So far it seems that the Simply Rugged gets the vote. I'll be sure to post pics of whatever i go with. As for now, it turns out that the Uncle Mikes (another wise suggestion from the community) that I had...

    New Member, New Gun, and looking for a holster...

    Hello everyone, In the past, I have shot revolvers here and there. Most of them Tarus or another generic wheel gun so I always just thought of them as just another redneck hunting division. Until about a week ago when I shot a few different Smith and Wesson's at my range side by side with yet...
