    About as good as it gets.....

    Smithnut, Did they use the 4 inch heavy barrel from the Model 10 to create the HB version of the M15?

    S&W Model 14 Question

    HG356, Are these 686s built with .38 length cylinders or are they regular 686s simply chambered for .38? I actually just picked up a 14-5 last week from a great gunshop here in NC that took it in on an estate sale. I'd been thinking a model 14 with a 6 inch full underlug barrel might make a...

    Current Model 67

    Hi 18DAI! Two piece barrel! That's where I draw the line - it shows up on the J&G site when you enlarge the pics. I may try and find one of the late model 10s - say a dash 7 or 8 that had a heavy barrel. That would do the trick. As for your old 66-3, it has become my main IDPA SSR gun and it...

    Current Model 67

    Thanks! I didn't know the dash 1 was offered with a bull barrel. I don't see one on the forum for sale board, but I'll keep looking.

    Current Model 67

    Excellent – thanks panamajack310. It is the balance that a bull barrel configuration gives that intrigues me. I have a 64 – 5 and a 67 – 1 and often thought if I could combine the handling of the 64 with the better sight picture of the 67 I’d have close to the ideal SSR gun. However, I couldn’t...

    Current Model 67

    Being a K-frame kinda guy, I’ve thought that a model 67 with a heavy profile barrel like the model 64 would make a really nice IDPA SSR gun. In looking at the new model 67 on S&W’s website and in their 2009 catalogue, it appears to have a heavy barrel – at least I see no sign of a taper. Has...

    Clays powder

    Clays is all I use for .38spl SSR loads in IDPA. 3.9-4.0 grains under a 147 or 158 lead bullet will make power factor in most of my revos - note that this is a +P load. Clays is very clean - just the ticket in a revo. It's accurate and soft shooting as well...and relatively cheap. What's not to...

    revolver "action job" idea

    +1 I had never taken the sideplate off a revo before I got Jerry's Trigger Job DVD. Including assembly and disassembly, it took me about 2 hours to do my first action job - with excellent results. I can do one in about 45 minutes now. It is a simple, straightforward job and all you need is a...

    Fiber optic sights

    I actually used the Hiviz FO front sight on my M&P9 to replace the front sight on my 4586 - worked like a charm. It's the right height and fit the dovetail cut w/o any alteration.

    Clays for dillion 550

    I reload with Clays on a 550 and a 650 all the time with excellent results. The body of the Dillon measure is just an aluminum casting – it’s none too smooth. Fire up your Dremel with a felt polishing tip and apply a good helping of Flitz or a similar metal polish. Disassemble the measure and...

    38spl load recipes for 180gr Lead

    I've had very good success with either 3.1 grains of Clays or 3.4 grains of Tightgroup under a 180 grain TCFP lead bullet from Mastercast. Both of these loads gave me about 730 fps out of a couple of 4 inch K-frames. I was looking for an IDPA SSR load and they would have worked like a champ...

    3rd gen .45's ?

    Do a search on the 4586 and you'll see tons of folks singing their praises - including me. Reliable with a wide range of ammo, accurate and smooth handling, they make a fine HD gun as their weight is an asset in that role rather than a problem. Stainless OEM mags are readily available for $20...
