I use contact lenses - in my dominant eye I have a distance prescription contact and in the other eye I have a reading prescription contact. It's been working out well for me for years now. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I vote for the Model 638. I bought one the other year and it is sweet. I like the shrouded hammer and the gun is lightweight. I can't CCW legally but it is a nice back up handgun for home defense. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I shot about 200 rounds of +P 38 special ammo through my Model 638 and I had numbness in my hand for a couple weeks. I can't imagine what punishment I would have taken if I shot a 357 magnum J frame revolver. Sent from my using Tapatalk

Congratulations on acquiring the J frame. I wanted one for years and finally got a Model 638 Airweight a couple years ago. Fun to shoot. Too bad Hawaii don't allow CCW as a J frame revolver is nice to have. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I have a Model 638 Airweight and normally shoot between 7-10 yards with it. Getting my shots to group in a 12 inch paper plate size target is fine with me. If I want more accurate shooting I'll use my Model 686 Plus with 4 inch barrel and go out farther. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Nothing is perfect. Take it out and shoot it. Enjoy. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

Awesome! Beautiful gun. Have fun. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

My first revolver was a Model 686 Plus with a 4 inch barrel. I bought it new about eight years ago. I still have it and it is my favorite gun to shoot. I shoot only 357 magnum rounds through it. Recently I changed out the rebound and main springs with Wolff springs. When I do my part I'm...

New springs is a cheap possible solution. I do on occasion have some FTE issues but its because of the ammo (American Eagle ammo gave the worst results). I don't have much access to SV ammo and notice CCI Mini Mag ammo gives me best results. I do have an extra power Wolff recoil spring and...

You must be the unluckiest S&W owner I've heard of :-(. I've owned three brand new S&W revolvers all with locks and a S&W semi auto (Model 41) all of them performed flawlessly. I always say third times a charm. Hope you the best. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I really enjoy using these Nil walnut grips with my S&W Model 638. No problem using speed loaders. Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

My 686 Plus 4"barrel was bought new about eight years ago. I just love the double and single action pull of this gun. I just received a Wilson Combat Custom Tune spring kit and plan to install it tonight to see how it compliments the revolver. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

Are there any special tools that I need to install the springs with? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

Mahalo 8Ring for your response. The Apex is exactly what I'm looking for. I'll check it out. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

Aloha to all. Looking for suggestions on a spring kits for my Model 638 bought brand new about a year and a half ago and a Model 686 Plus I bought about eight years ago. I am looking for reduced DA pull. I want a do it yourself set up and I don't want to be stoning or filing. I just want a...

I bought my Model 686 Plus about six or seven years ago for about $670 brand new. I put a couple thousand rounds of magnum rounds through it and it is in top shape. I just cleaned it yesterday which didn't take long. I love stainless steel hand guns. (^_-) Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk

I found mostly CCI Mini Mag ammo and HV ammo here on the island. Had some luck finding American Eagle standard velocity ammo. I installed a buffer in my M41 and a Wolfe spring. I've owned my M41 since new for five years now. There had been no ill effects on using the CCI Mini Mag or HV ammo. In...

I've got a 686 Plus with 4" barrel and it is my favorite gun to shoot. I can shoot it all day or until the ammo runs out. I normally shoot at a distance of 7-10 yards though. Real nice shooting OP. Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX using Tapatalk 2

I didn't think my Model 638 Airweight would be a handful when shooting +P ammo but for me it is. I actually had screwed up my right hand with numbness in my thumb and first two fingers lingering for a while after shooting a hundred rounds of +P ammo. Even shooting regular 38 spl ammo was a chore...

I've sent firearms both from FedEx and UPS. No problems with any of these companies. I would just go to their main office, fill out their form, pay them, and it's all good. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2
