    Bulged cylinders on .357 K frames?

    Same here. And only two ripped forcing cones since 1976.

    Tuned up M-57

    What a beaut! Glad you're shooting it. I'm not much for safe/picture queens myself. I shoot em all then clean em real good,followed by a wax job or a coatof Militec-1. The .41 mag is my favorite round by far. Love the crowned barrel on yours. Had my forcing cone recut at around 12 k rounds and...

    What's your favorite 38 spl with adjustable sights

    By far my 2" 15-3! Bought it unfired but HAD to run a cylinder through it after I slapped on a Tyler T. From 25 yards and 3 cups of coffee in me kept them all on a 10" paper plate. Pics coming.

    Hornady 357 Magnum 158 gr XTP in a K Frame?

    I humbly disagree sir. Practice with what you fight with. Big difference on the recoil between a .38 and a .357. If you're not used to the sharp slap from a .357 how are you going to perform when needed after practicing with light recoiling .38's? They are great for your trigger control and...

    Grashorn stags plus tyler t equals comfort and style? Show off your Grashorns!

    This pic really has me wanting a nickel 27 to match my blued 3.5" 27-2! Been looking for a S.A.P.D. for awhile with no luck.

    Grashorn stags plus tyler t equals comfort and style? Show off your Grashorns!

    WOW! Some real beauties here! Great thread. Love the classic look of his works of art. Only have one set for now on my 19-3. Am slowly saving for 2 more sets, one for my 2" 34 snub and its big brother a 2" 15-3 snub. Nice grips and revolvers/semi's guys! Here's mine with my old stag handled...

    The 586 is back!

    Nailed that one! I've said it numerous times on here. When I saw a IL 686 lock itself up at a match I became a disbeliever and still am. If I were to buy a new model first thing I'd do is disable the IL and plug it. For the price of a new model one can go out and find a very nice one way...

    Bidding on a Smith&Wesson 66-3

    "The 3" 66 is my all time favorite S&W revolver and if I could only own one this would be it". My sentiments exactly! Perfect for about any chore, ammo's plentiful and they shoot just so darn good and are perfectly balanced. They all think they have 6" barrels. Least mine does.

    Bidding on a Smith&Wesson 66-3

    This fine gent nailed it IMO. Have a 3" 66-2 thats crazy accurate and a delight to shoot. Used to blow up water filled milk jugs at 100 yards on a regular basis. I wouldn't take $1500.00 for it as it was my first .357 and still have the box with everything that goes in it. I used to carry it as...

    Which to buy:???? .41/.44

    I've owned 3 really nice S&W .44 mags and now have 5 .41 mags. The .44's are history, never to be seen in my safe again. My vote is for the .41. Owned one since 76 and it's my favorite caliber by far. More factory ammo is becoming available for it and it's also a great round to reload. If you...

    TWINS!

    Squid, Beautiful pair. Fat Tom pulled the 17-2's out from his sleeve. Very slight of hand and two beauties with their cokes! Both pairs are beautiful. We really need to hook up at the next Hamptom or Va. Beach gun shows. Been a long time and would like to shoot the bull again. Really glad you...

    Holster find for my Model 15

    my first photo - maybe!!!

    Excellent advice! I and many other computer challenged folks have had the same problem as yours when trying to post pics the first time. Do it a few times and it's a piece of cake. I had my daughter teach me as I was getting flustered on my numeous attempts when I first tried doing it:). Good...

    S&W Model 686 3 inch CS1

    Some nice revolvers folks. Mine does shoot great, especially with the original full coberage rubber grips. My one and ONLY complaint is for a pure fighting weapon they should have at least installed a tritium night sight on at least the front for nighttime use. Mine does not have the stamp, nor...

    price help on a 629-2 3 inch

    Does it have a fluted or unfluted cylinder. Would help if you gave us the serial # leaving out the last 3 numbers (XXX). My guess would be $800.00-$900.00. More if you had the box and fixins.

    S&W Model 686 3 inch CS1

    Very cool revolvers. You did real good on that baby and congrats! That CS-1 might bring ya $1300.00 on GB. Hogues are great grips if you're going to shoot it. A nice set of Spegals with a dark grain would really set it off IMO. This is my second one. I got a better deal on this one than the...

    New to me, Nickel 586 PICS

    Sweet. Have a 4" in nickel and its my most accurate revolver (centerfire). You might get a lil more accuracy with that extra 2 inches. I never polish it for a mirror finish since its a shooter. A wax job is all it needs and gets after cleaning. Since it's already been shot I'd be shooting the...

    686 3" or 4"

    My sentiments exactly! Well worth the wait on a custom from Lobo holsters IMO. Have a few 3" S&W's and all of them are extremely accurate for a semi snub. My old 66-2 will out shoot my pre lock 686 and is the most accurate of the bunch. I will say the most accurate centerfire I own is a 4" 586...

    Model 58 Trigger

    Thats how a gun thats loved, carried and shot should look! It's loss of finish shows character IMO. Love seeing the safe/photo queens but there's something about a well used weapon that does something for me! It looks better than me and its 2 years older:).
