I did the bath scale (acurate as heck, I know) & it said 11lbs. It was a digital scale so it held the reading for a couple of seconds. I probably will still have a smithy check it out. I like to err on the safe side. I appreciate the imput. Sent from my SM-T377P using Tapatalk

As I stated in my first post, I estimated the push at about 7-10 lbs., which apparently, is more than needed for the test. As another poster suggested, it shouldn't break at any push (at least, that's how I interpreted it), so that concerned me. Now, you say 4-6lbs. should be a better indicator...

The only problem I could foresee for me, would be a ND if I carried it around cocked, which I would never do. The only time I would have it in SA would be in a precision drill at the range...&it would be pointed downrange at that time. DA is how I would shoot in a defensive situation as I have a...

That's strange. If it's not a safety issue, why would gunsmiths have a jig to "fix" a non-issue? The only thing he could have sent would be a new sear or trigger assembly, which is what the gunsmith would "true up" or replace if too much material had been worn off. After checking it again, it...

It's a "72 year model, in excellent condition otherwise but just guessing, it's probably way out of warranty. That would be a blessing if that could happen. From the little I've been able to find on the internet (nobody wants to be responsible...I get it), it doesn't appear too difficult to...

Somewhere on one of the many forums, posts, comments I read concerning S&W revolvers, I remembered reading about push-off, or the breaking of the cocked hammer by thumb pressure alone. I never really gave it much thought but last night, I thought I would check my 66 out. To my dismay, it may...

That's kind of what I ask my wife when she asked me why I carried in the house. Sent from my SM-T377P using Tapatalk

D (real name withheld for privacy), I want to once again thank you for the very gracious gift of the holster for my model 66 S&W. It was a true act of kindness that is rarely shown to a complete stranger & I will do my best to pass that kindness to others. I finally got my gun back from my son...

Straight forward answer...if you have a permit to carry, there's no valid reason to be concerned over a stop. Your uncomfortableness is probably human nature. If, however, you're not permitted, there is a very valid reason for concern, so just don't do it. I dont know the laws in your state for...

Well, that depends on the state. In TN, you don't have to have a permit to carry open, concealed, loaded or unloaded in your vehicle...but you do need a permit to carry on your person. No duty to inform either but unless you're not permitted, there's no reason to hide the fact & can actually...

What this thread has got me to thinking is, I may not go after an auto-loader next but add a brother or sister to my 66. There are some handsome guns been shone & I see several in pawn shops around here when I go out drooling...I mean, looking. Still would like a (forgive me) Beretta but that...

I use a Canon camera bag. Padded well, lots of pockets & will hold my 66 & room for my Beretta I'm getting someday. Room for eyes & ears too...along with several boxes of ammo. Sent from my SM-T377P using Tapatalk

I feel you on that but to be honest, if I had a $150 Hi Point taken, I would lose sleep. I don't like people taking my stuff whether it's a crook or the courts. Hopefully, I'll never have that opportunity to lose it & I'm sorry your daughter had to go through that & lose her gun to boot. The...

Yeah, I've checked them out. Not bad. Thanks. Sent from my SM-T377P using Tapatalk

Thanks. My son put these grips on. He said the originals were too slippery. I still have them though if I want to go back to original. I'm not real concerned about CC because we do have open carry in TN as well...but I'm not one to flaunt, so as long as it's not a shining beacon, I'm ok with...

Correct on both! Thanks. 😊 Sent from my SM-T377P using Tapatalk

That's been one reason I haven't gotten one, despite the upwards price...the "coolness factor". I'm looking for praticality that works for me, so I wouldn't NOT carry. A shoulder rig would be practical but I don't want to be all "Dirty Harry"...I'm too old for that. Probably shouldn't let that...

Thanks to all for the warm greetings & nice comments. This looks like the place to be. Hope to make some good aquaintenences & maybe a few friends. Wayne Sent from my SM-T377P using Tapatalk

Thank you! I plan on it. Seems like good people! Sent from my SM-T377P using Tapatalk

Beautiful pieces! I bet that snubby is easy to carry. Sent from my SM-T377P using Tapatalk
