Thank you much. Other than the "A" or "B", do you happen to know the difference? I understand how important it is to "use the right part number or tool" as such.

Hello all, Preface: I'm not a licenced gunsmith, just an enthusiast, but I am somewhat mechanically inclined. I bought a m28-2 off the Classifieds here. I'm stoked about it, but I was wondering: I'm no SW expert, but where would you expect to see wear on somewhat older revolvers? Should the...

Hello I don't have as much experience with SW as some of the more experienced folks, but I recommend avoiding the pistol caliber 610 and go with the 629. May be more fun!

Wow:0 That is quite an interesting looking gun. I'm no collector by any stretch, but I've never seen anything like it. Crazy, and congrats

I DID think they were Altamont grips. I bought some recently for a 36 I got.

Awesome. Thank you for the reply. As soon as I got it, I changed them out with Hogue wrap-around grips to cover the back strap. Then I bought VZ grips that basically do the same thing, THEN today, I put the original grips on. Go figure ����‍♂️

Hello, I'm relatively new to revolvers. I purchased a 686-6 last year. It is the 3-5-7 series with the 5" barrel. The series comes with "custom" wood grips. I was wondering if anyone knew who would make them? My guess is Altamont, but I don't know the history of S&W and certain manufacturers...

Hilarious :)

Great advice and insight from all, many thanks ContinentalOps: After re-reading what you said about the rebound spring, I was thinking the same thing. I only changed the main-spring. Went from "factory 8.5# to new 8#", so I think only 1/2# difference. I avoided the rebound spring because of the...

ContinentalOp Absolutely helps. Thanks for the insight. Understood. I appreciate the information.

True. I've heard that changing springs is better and easier to change on a EDC weapon, and is recommended.

Great insight. I am curious: should there be a slight "pause" when staging the trigger before firing? I do kinda feel comfortable with that since it is only an EDC gun, not a competition gun with a light DA. Or is it one continuous stroke without the pause?

Excellent. Thank you for the source

I'll take it. PM on its way.

Hondo44 Thanks for the input. Great info. Is there a central source of info on various changes to model changes? Saemetric Beautiful gun, very functional looking. Already ordered the 36-9 hammer. When it comes in and it's installed, I'll post pics and some thoughts

I understand what you mean with a lighter spring. I installed Wolff springs, reducing power to, what it said, "8.5 lbs stock to 8lbs" with spring installed. Do any of you think that my cause light strikes?

Let me clarify real quick: I was thinking about HALF bobbing it, not completely remove the spur. I just look at it as some small "customization', kinda like showing its mine, that's all.

Hello, So, I was thinking about bobbing the hammer on my m36-10, less than 6 months old. I was thinking of buying one I saw on eBay for a m36-9. Does anyone know if there are any design changes to the hammer between the versions that would prevent a simple swapout? Should a 36-9 hammer fit and...

Naw. No wood cleaners. I felt the stock grips were too "cheepy". However, when I initially got the gun, I replaced the grips with VZ Grips, wrap-around covering the backstrap. Fired the pistol with those on, then recently appreciated the stock panel-style grips. Maybe THAT was the fatal mistake

Also, when I noticed it, I thought it was just a stain or something on the backstrap, so I tried to scratch it off with my fingernail. Doesn't really matter to me; I'm getting altamont panel grips coming soon��
