Thanks. That is good to know. You've convinced me to try some different ammo before changing grips...

I just ordered Pachmayr gripper grips. Many people on the Amazon reviews said that the Compacs don't work with speedloaders, and they said that the grippers do. And I thought Pachmayr would be easier to install than Hogue, because for Hogue it seems you have to punch out that pin at the bottom...

Yes it would seem that having a grip high like that would give a better hold on the gun, as opposed to just holding onto a handle that is sticking out of it at a 90% angle.

Thanks for that answer! You've convinced me I need to try some new grips....

Everyone I hear from says that I should replace the factory grips on my new model 36 (no dash). Is replacing those little wooden grips with, say, a rubber Hogue or Pachmayr grip really going to make a huge difference in how well I can shoot it? It's true that I haven't yet figured out how to...

Yes, round brush, the kind that's at the end of like a small metal rod

That is a good suggestion. Worst thing that can happen is I have two brushes or two cleaning kits, which will all get used anyway.

Hi. I was trying to clean my new Model 19 (.357 Magnum) according to a video I found on youtube, and it says that bronze brush is supposed to go into the chambers and into the barrel. But it won't fit. The cleaning kit I have is for 9mm, which I understand also works for .38 special and Magnum...

Hi. I live in New Jersey and I don't currently have a gun because I'm still waiting for my firearm permit to come through... and waiting... and waiting... That's the system in New Jersey. I briefly owned a Model 10 revolver but my girlfriend got upset about that so I ended up selling it. But I'm...
