    Model 422

    Excellent price I just paid 4x as much for a 6" model. Don't dry fire it alot. Mine really likes standard velocity ammo - huge difference in accuracy and reliability between it and high velocity ammo.

    S&W 5946 "New Old Stock" at Cabela's?

    My local Cabela's had them marked down to $599 or whatever the last best price was on them. No longer in the new gun case but there is a used one in their Gun Library for $799!! hahahaha

    Pre-lock 342PD

    I'm sure Green Top will offer you a whole $350 for it and put it in the case for $749.

    Anyone Here Own the Talo Exclusive 642?

    That's the thing about these clips... you get the set for Speer ammunition and they work. Then you buy a new box of Speer - different lot number - and they all of a sudden don't work. Same tool, same unbent clips. I suppose since that little crease at the bottom of the case adjacent to the...

    Anyone Here Own the Talo Exclusive 642?

    I've got two of these in no-lock config. Great action, the polished trigger rolls on the finger and the polished thumbpiece doesn't cut my knuckle when it smacks into it during recoil. I got into the moonclip thing, but it ended up not being worth the hassle. Moonclips would work with a...

    Activating your Crimson Trace Laser ...

    I don't have that problem but i've seen it on an older guy who had poor flexibility in his fingers and couldn't reliably bend his finger around the grip to activate the button. I suspect he just wasn't gripping hard enough with a squeezing/wringing his fingers around the grip rather than...

    M&P Shield comparison to similar 9mms

    I have had a 2 Shields, still have a Walther PPS M2 and a G43. Depends on what you want to do with the gun. I primarily pocket carry... so the G43 was the one choice for me between the 3. Unbelievably, mine has a better trigger than either of my Shields or the Walther. The Shield and Walther...

    Trigger work

    I have had a performance center j frame and Teddy Jacobson j frame action job... not work the price and hassle of shipping over the apex kit which I installed myself using their youtube video.

    M&P 340 or 340 PD

    My M&P340 stings enough to shoot, couldn't imagine shooting a 340PD. The LG405s do help though. My 642 came cut for moonclips, can't say that I could recommend the whole moonclip experience though just for reliable ejection. Tilt the gun directly up and smack the rod with the other hand, they...

    BUGBite Holser

    Yeah that looks like you can barely get one finger around the grip to pull it out. Under stress? You'll be like Cleavon Little "excuse me... while I...whip this out"

    Most powerful .38spl 158gr fmj?

    I used that Speer +P 158 before IDPA changed the rules. It was ~135pf out of my 3" M66 which was around 850fps.

    Do folks like their M&P 340 no lock?

    I picked up a no lock M&P340 in August. Had to go back for a canted shroud but it was returned fixed in less than 2 weeks though their test fire form said something like "within spec, no correction done" but windage is fixed. I put in an apex kit, lightly stoned the rebound slide and a dab of...

    442-1 Moonclip size

    Got two of the 642 talos that are cut for moonclips with the intention of using them for the in-gun load to ensure extraction of all rounds during a reload. I bought some extra clips sized correctly for Speer ammo and a j frame mooncliptool. Worked for a few loadings and then they just...

    Equipment, caliber or training?

    Equipment and caliber are relatively low hanging fruit compared to bettering yourself with training. Add to it the years of watching gun play in TV/movies and there are tons of people that believe in handgun "stopping power". It's just the way humans are until the lightbulb clicks and makes...

    Holster for 442/642 with Lasermax

    I've only found pocket holsters for that setup. You will probably have to find a holster maker willing to make one either by searching online or going to a local gunshow.

    Georgia arms 38

    I've shot their wadcutter ammo. It was reasonably priced and shot fine.

    642 Pro

    Saw a couple at the local gunshow this past weekend. And gunbroker has numerous ones available now.

    Up to date replacement for Fed 9BPLE load?

    "Updated bullet technology" I think would mean a more barrier blind load which seems to be opposite of what you're looking for though.

    Got my 642 today!

    Get the LG-405s. They are great for dry fire too. Really need to do a lot of that to master a j frame. On the pocket holster try the desantis nemesis. The holster is properly cut for the trigger guard on the J frame. The Sticky holster, uncle mikes, etc can allow you to pinch the holster...

    442 PC Shooting Way Left

    Had to send one of my 642 talo back, they reset the barrel and had it back quick. I personally would not put up with blisters. If you can swing it, the crimson trace LG-405 have a nice recoil pocket and since the laser is on the grip, the holster options are huge. I had one of those lasermax...
