    Saw a nice 66-1, P&R, 2-1/2 Incher

    My square butt 2.5" 66 no dash is a more comfortable & controlable gun [to me] than shooting a full load 357 round thru a round butt K frame. S&W converted it to 2.5" for me from a 4" over 40 years ago, carried it regulary for a number of years concealed in a Bianchi high ride pancake holster...

    New guy from Australia

    Welcome from Central Florida near Walt Disney World. You are correct in assuming that many of us cringe as to the draconian laws and regulations that Australian's need to jump through to own firearms, and can only presume that former military and police may have it a tad easier to acquire and...

    Is this normal BCG wear?

    it looks brand new to me, mine are very smooth and very shiny and are in perfect condition after a heck of a lot mil-surp ammo being put thru them---the wear on the contact areas is totally normal and will become more evident as you put a lot more ammo thru it, as said by others keep it lubed...

    Magnaported

    I feel reduced recoil most in shorter barreled MAGNUM loaded handguns, the bigger the magnum the more you feel the difference. With barrel porting I have a faster followup shot picture especially with longer barrels. I feel/ see the differences more now as an older shooter, when I was younger...

    29-2 Metalife Hard Chrome

    I was very familiar with Nitex in the early 80's. Back then when offering it to our customers we called it the SST finish, which stood for "stainless steel type" I had quite a few handguns done there both personal and customer guns. I can remember a few of mine that were done, a PPK/S, S&W...
