This is a bummer! I just learned about this because the URL I had didn't work and google search showed this thread right away. I really loved his selection of options, his service and the fact that he was in PA.

Model 36 no dash. It has CINB stamped on the back strap. Any ideas what CINB stood for? Thanks!

3 inch is the PERFECT carry K frame size in my book Only have one, a Model 64 DAO that I had built from an old police trade in with a 4 inch barrel. Found a 3 " and had my local guy make the switch. Carry it in a Milt Sparks Executive Special IWB.

Yeah. According to the Calendar, the next one is Sunday, June 12th. Events | Lebanon Valley Sportsmen Association

Yeah, Rossi's design is ok, but you will notice the hottest caliber they have it offered in is 45 colt. They do NOT make any "magnums", and that is for a reason.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but if the barrel is under 16 inches, it's legally a Short Barreled Rifle and will require an ATF Tax stamp.

YUP - I took the same path. I just had to have adjustable sights, but most of my use in the beginning was hunting and target shooting. I didn't even think that those old fixed sight guns looked good. As I started carrying revolvers for EDC back in 1998 I started my switch over to DAO and then...

That was very nice of you to go into such detail. Thank You!!

I have a model 10-5. D serial# should land it in 1970. It's marked on the back strap as being a Metro Police District of Columbia revolver. I got it with Packmyer good-years on it but I would like to get it back to how it came from the factory. So which grips are the correct ones...

S&W 3rd gen question. Other than the dust cover rail on the TSW, the different shape of the slide cut-out where the safety would go, and the laser etching "9 TACTICAL" ---> is there any mechanical difference between the regular 3953 & the 9 Tactical 3953TSW ?? I'm assuming most parts would...

Agreed - you shouldn't have to. Also agree with most here that CCI tends to work better, at least in my 41. My go-to for years has been CCI green tag - again - if you can find it. BUT - my experience with Wolf Match Target - Don't bother! It sticks every time in both my Model 41 & Model 17...

I'll take it per our PMs

Yeah, armorer951 suggested them on my other thread and I so I went out to Midway last night and they were both in stock and on sale for $12.89 a piece ---- so I purchased both to try out.

Well, being a long time DAO revolver shooter, I was hoping I would take a quick liking to my, new to me, 5943. This is my first metal S&W auto, other than my Model 41. Just to level set. I standardized on DAO, no extra safeties, setup long ago as my go to carry platform. As such, I got rid...

armorer951 - Thanks. For the price at Midway, I will get one of each and see which one I like better. Then if these don't work, I'll look at KSD, but from their pictures, they look nice but also look like they will be bulkier. Next up, where to get a bigger or extended mag release button?!

Just picked up a 5943 with the god awful Goodyears, …er, Packmyers on it. That have to go! Who makes the slimmest contour replacement grips for these? I see Hougue still makes wooden ones, but they don’t look that slim. I’ll also take holster recommendations. No fabric though. Thanks.

A fellow member!! I've had a ton of fun at this event over the years, but most of the time I only make the September one. This year I did not because of rotator cuff surgery. The best I have done is 5th overall a couple times. I've used the following models, shooting DAO every time: 657...

Great find! I actually have a couple of grips for my -4 MG. When shooting standard stuff or 44 specials - I use my JMs. BUT when I load up for black bear, 250 grain hard cast LSWC GCs, over a max load of H110 - I have to admit to slipping on the Packmyer decelerators .....yes, I actually...

That is cool. After finding my model 16-4, I have had a hankering for pre-war hand ejectors in both 32 S&W Long & 32-20. Some day............

Sorry, original or not - I would get that thing off ASAP - MHO. since it's pinned, it would be an easy replacement to a standard patridge blade.
