Somehow, I seem to be able to resist the urge to shoot something that kills on one end and cripples on the other. Especially when not certain which is which.....

There are three conceal carry choices in my revolver stable. A Colt Agent 38 Special A S&W 66 2 1/2 inch 357 Magnum A S&W 696 44 Special I know it's blasphemy on this forum, but the Agent usually gets the nod. :)

Hammer bite. A good(bad?) example is the Browning Hi-Power. Really needs a beavertail, but not easily or cheaply added. Some of us with large hands, using a high hold, do get hammer bit, without a substantial tang, The Old Colt Officer's ACP, with it's narrow grip safety tang, was NOT a...

Nothing there on Model 66

Sad or amusing, I don't know which, but a Google search uncovered that very ad. Either a joke, or a prime example of why inbreeding is a bad thing.

S&W manufactured a 6 inch stainless, K-frame 38 special, with adustable sights and shrouded ejector rod, as a special order for the California Highway Patrol. Basicly a Model 66 in 38 special, it's designation was Model 68. I would suppose that a 68-1 would be a later version.

There's an old saying about women and streetcars, that likely applies here.. "If you miss one, another will be along shortly....."

This has come up before. There are threads covering this along with pictures showing the machining required on the slide. Also the decocker only assembly is different from the decocker/safety assembly. IIRC, the slide requires some minor machining to clear the spring on the decocker, along...

Yup. Including "....everything I hear in the inter webs is not true?" And this reply......

"4.800 lbs." "$3829.00 USD" Lemme think..........Uh........Pass.

It is a "safety" only in the sense that it is intended to catch the hammer safely, if the thumb slips white cocking the hammer or lowering it manually, like the Colt 1911 design. Also like the Colt 1911, it is NOT designed or intended to use as a "carry" position. EXTREMELY dangerous.

The 39 Series does NOT have a firing pin safety. I you follow the link, it shows pages from an original owner's manual. Note that under the rear sight, the slide is ONLY drilled for the magazine satey plunger and spring. The extra hole for a firing pin plunger and spring is NOT present. Hope...

Nills Does make grips for the 4506 series, but they do require drilling and tapping the frame for a two screw setup, like the 645/745 series. Karl Nill GmbH I considered getting a set for years, but the drilling (One hole already exists in the grip frame, not sure it lines up) of an additional...

Mine is in this group.VJD08XX serial number. Came apparently unfired with box ad all the goodies including fired case envelope dated 07-12-2001. Fixed Novak Sights. Only modifications I have done is to add Hogue rubber grips and a bobbed hammer from a 6906.

You guys ever see the pictures of the shooter of a S&W 460 or 500 ( I forget which) that had his thumb destroyed, by the blast from the cylinder gap, while using the "thumbs forward" grip? Revolving rifles, especially in high pressure cartridges, would be extremely dangerous to the shooter from...

Frame would have to be destroyed. BATFE considers "Once a full auto, always a full auto."

BTT final price reduction.

WTS Complete NOS 4566 upper end. Slide purchased as NOS, barrel from Midway, recoil assembly from S&W. Barrel fitted to slide. Unfired. Bought to interchange with my 4506 upper, then decided difference in length was not that big of a deal. $300 Shipped Priority, Insured. Payment by Postal...

Actually, If you can detail strip the weapon to get the drawbar assembly out, replacing the spring and rivet, is fairly simple. Punch out the old rivet, removing the broken spring, then insert the new rivet in the spring and drawbar.(Make sure the spring is facing the right direction) Then...
