That's a nice one!

I picked some up and after hearing warnings about light strikes, I hand seat each primer with my older trusty Lee hand primer tool. So I size and deprime on a Dillon 550 with a toolhead with only a sizing die. Then I hand prime all the cases making sure the primers are fully seated. Certain...

Super Senior Rob making a reload at the Maryland State USPSA match. Slow and steady with the 929. lol!

I'll take the Dawson Ice magwell.

So my issue is if I want to shoot other 8 shots in Minor division I have to shoot 38 special or pay $400 to get THAT cylinder milled. Or get a 929. You basically had your 627 converted to shoot the same moonclip and ammo, as a 929.

I did it myself by getting an 11 degree forcing cone reamer for 38/.357 as a complete cutting assembly from Brownells. I also got a 45 degree cutter for the barrel crown. My Brownell's account will not let me see past orders, so I can't provide a link. Here's what they look like. Remember, this...

My wife and I this weekend with 929's.

I have three 929's. All 3 needed the forcing cone cut and the barrel crown cut. The forcing cone is the most important part. Two of my 929's were untouched from new and would print about a 4.5"-5" group at 25 yards. When you would look at the groups, there would be about 5 to 6 bullets in a 3"...

My 686-6 does too. When I bought the 5" Pro Series gun new, the shop owner noticed it too and told me that the action was so perfect that nothing was getting in the way of a perfect hammer fall. Not a ting, but a ring! He was smiling, I was smiling and I still own the 686. That was 15? years ago...

I'm not sure if they made the JM model in 5". The 625 PC models came in 5.25" and 4". It's possible someone re barreled a 625JM with a 5" barrel they had laying around.

One of the dealer specials back in the day. I think there were 2 versions of that 5" revolver.

For all of my revolvers that need moon clips, I use Ranch Products brand for my general practice and maybe the first loading while at the starting position in a match. Ranch Products moon clips accept a wide variety of different manufacture brands. When we buy once fired brass, my wife sorts the...

In the early 90's, I went to his shop in Pipersville Pa. and waited while he did a trigger job on my High Standard Victor. Had the pistol out yesterday and it still works great. He always thought outside the box.

For someone who shoots action pistol matches, time is important. A moonclip full of 357 ammo would be difficult to get in fast and more importantly, they can hang up on the way out. The short 9mm cases drop in real easy and because of the slight taper of the 9mm case, the exit from the cylinder...

The action shooting that I do in USPSA and Icore, the accuracy is fine. If I was shooting at a slow fire NRA Bullseye target, I'd shoot a .358" bullet.

I had TK Custom moonclip and rechamber my 586 in 9mm for ICORE 6 shot Limited and some falling steel matches that limit "Stock" revolver to 6 shots. My 160 gr 9mm loads that I use in the 929 drop about 50-60 fps when they are fired in the 586. So the .356" coated bullet slows down but...

Here's another front sight that came on the PC 646. I don't like it at all, but I'm leaving it alone. Mine too came in the older aluminum box. It's one of the few revolvers that I bought and don't shoot. Would make a nice carry gun with its light weight.

Here's my 929 with a moonclip full of Bayou 160gr round nose bullets. I load to 1.200" and around 3.1 of WST. 10's of thousands of rounds over the years. The 160's, being heaver, drop into the 929 real nice. 160's are popular in USPSA revolver division.

I had my 52-2 out on Monday at the indoor range. Amazing pistol. I too over the years shooting never ran into anyone having trouble with their 52-1. The weight I have on my 52 is not marked S&W, and was bought by me as an aftermarket weight. I think mine was branded Cal Custom. Still a nice...

I one time adjusted the over travel too "tight" along with the screw inside the frame and had a couple failure to fires. I just backed out those two screws, and everything worked fine. I used Bullseye powder, about 2.7-2.8 and had no problems and still have powder from the 90's. If I ran out of...
