    Clark Grips for K Square?

    I can't tell if they are Bill Davis grips or copies of his design. They were very popular for shooting Practical Police Competition (PPC) were a two hand hold is allowed. They are no longer made and usually sell in the $50 range. Mike

    K38 Fixer Upper

    I have a matched set that came out of the same gun but you will have to put the double action sear from your existing hammer into this one. It is an older "speed hammer" used in the early 50's. I also have a selection of both standard and target hammers and triggers for the K frame center fire...

    Model 57 serial number confusion

    I did magnify it. That's why I am seeing a "2". Do you have the barrel in hand? Maybe a better picture?

    Is there a trick....

    Sounds like it is rusted in place. Time for a 48 hour soak with Kroil.

    .45 acp/auto rim and plated bullets

    When John Giles developed the taper crimp die, he said the end of the case mouth on .45 ACP should be crimped to .460 - .465 diameter. Read whatever you want into that. Mike

    Model 19-3 6” ramp sight height?

    The correct measurement would be from the center of the bore to the top of the sight. It would be the same for both a patridge or a ramped front sight. 6" model 19s came standard with a patridge target sight. Sorry, I don't have one to measure but I'm sure someone here does. A faster answer...

    Guns with presentation cases?

    "I always thought the banding was there to lift the fragile plastic insert without damaging it" That is exactly what it was used for. I have never seen a revolver "strapped down" with it. The guns were wrapped tightly with the VCI paper and placed in the case. When you flipped the case latch for...

    Credit Card Funnies

    Our Visa card is also thru Barclays. Received the same letter. Have never, ever once paid any interest on any credit card purchases. Must be a standard type procedure to cover their behinds in case everything goes south in these "we have no inflation" times. It seems these days if you are a law...

    K-38 Masterpiece Rear Sight Compatibility

    Be aware that there is a groove around the base of the elevation nut that has a round spring wire that holds it in place in the sight body after the spring & plunger have been installed. I see that Jack First has the tiny plunger but I did not see any of the tiny springs to go with it. The "pre"...

    45 auto rim

    "All you need is an inexpensive Auto Rim shell holder." NOT that simple! Forster is the old Bonanza single stage press and the shell holder is a complete set of "jaws" that need to be installed to load Auto Rim brass. I have done it and just love using my Auto Rim loads in my 25-2. Mike

    How should I fix my model 60 cylinder latch

    I pulled out my J frame bolts and yes, the threaded stud is pressed in. If possible, press it back in place with red locktite. If the part is not useable, I have a "S" marked bolt I can sell you. Mike

    My friend was cleaning his 4" 19-5 yesterday and saw that the barrel was cracked at the forcing cone. Knowing that I had the frame wrench tool he called, HELP! I can't seem to find one out there in all the normal places so I am putting up a request here. Please let me know what you might have or...

    So You Think

    This is only MY opinion but the harbor and channel are very important to the WHOLE United States. The bridge is only important to Baltimore and Maryland. U.S. taxpayers should pay for the cleanup and Maryland taxpayers should pay for the new bridge! It wouldn't even have to be built in the same...
