    Single action revolvers- Any fans?

    Nope, not for me. Never can seem to keep them around as I loose interest quick, especially since I've taken to shooting DAO all the time. For me, it's all about consistency. Don't tell anyone, but I don't even own a single action 1911 😨

    Smooth Triggers

    Personally, never understood the reason for serrated triggers of any kind?!

    Can't see the target, remedy.

    I simply use a std 8.5 X 11 piece of white paper. You fold it or cut as small as you want.

    Replace a barrel on a 686-5

    Just curious - you really hate the porting so much your willing to pay 100s to replace it - please explain. While I wouldn't pay to have one ported now, I did pick up a 657 that's magna-ported and I don't mind it one bit. Actually, truth be told, I like the ball detent lockup that the...

    S&W Model 16-4 .32 H&R Magnum

    Yeah, I have to agree mtgianni. It does not say where you're at in the country, and I think that matters some, but here in PA it would probably go north of $900 even with no box and missing the stock grips. I've seen exactly two of them in the last 12 years while in my travels locally. One of...

    Pawn Store 10-5

    That's one of the best descriptions I've ever heard for beat up rubber grips on a beautiful S&W! I'll have to remember that one. Good luck.

    Year for model 10-5

    I was running the same math in my head too! BUT, maybe the OP is that old and the one he remembers from when he was 12 was stolen and the one he just found is a replacement his father got along the way?

    Smith and Wesson Military & Police Revolvers

    Yeah, me too. For the longest time the model 10 was THE one missing from my K-frame collection. I've since over compensated! That's why I stick to 158 grain loads for all my fixed sight Ks. That is what they were regulated with back in the day. Also, I find that most folks don't understand...

    HOW MUCH DO I DRIFT MY REAR DOVETAIL SIGHT TO MAKE SHOTS MOVE OVER TO RIGHT OF AIM

    Yeah, sorry marathonrunner but I agree with others above that your going about this all wrong. The fact that you actually said the above quote proves the point. You don't go about drifting the sights every time you want to switch from slow deliberate shooting to fast shooting! You can't blame...

    642-1 or 442

    442 gets my vote!

    Ported Shield banned from Craig "Southnarc" Douglas' ECQC classes.

    Now, X-frames aside, THE WORST report I've ever stood next to on a firing line was a ported 4 inch 686. Not even my own ported 44 mag rivaled it!!

    Ported Shield banned from Craig "Southnarc" Douglas' ECQC classes.

    yeah, I agree when it comes to pistols........but like you mention, all revolvers are "ported" via the cylinder gap and no one bans them from classes.

    Grip suggestions for N frame 5" range/target gun?

    Miculek's all the way. They are by far my favorite grips for DA work.

    629 hunting question

    Iron sights all the way until my eyes finally fail me. I'm putting off my next eye checkup for as long as I can, but time will eventually win. I'm also a DAO guy so it's makes it a challenge on par with archery if you ask me. I too have a 50 yard self imposed limit. Cheers

    Shot my 500 today

    Sorry, dude - that is not technically correct. The mass of the unburned ejecta moving out of the barrel with the bullet is counted as the mass moving in one direction that imparts force in the opposite direction. With that as a given, then the only thing that is left to mitigate "felt" recoil...

    Holly cow....never thought of it like that until you just put it out there!
