Been longing for a .44 Special of my own. My LGS has had this 24-3 in their Used case for almost three years. They finally told me I could have it for what they paid the original owner. Need to source better stocks for it. Other than that, range time is on the menu.

I was wondering if the K-38 Masterpiece was produced with different barrel thicknesses. I thought I once read that there was a heavy barrel variant and a recent picture made me wonder about that again. Of the two pictures below, the second one looks like the barrel is much heavier than the...

For the love of all that is good and kind in the gun world...why? It gets worse the longer you look. Yes, that is glue.

I have a 617-6 (4", 10-shot) and I screwed up by dry firing it when working with a couple of new shooters. The gun will now not set off rounds when fired in double action (probably 1 in 8 with fire), but will fire most in single action. I now understand the measure of my screw up. But what do I...

I have a quantity of Black Bullet 147gr. 9mm truncated cone bullets that are out of spec. They measure .358 in diameter, so they have been causing feeding/extraction issues in the 9mm semi-auto that for which they were intended. What are the thoughts of reversing them and using them as 147gr...

Watching a GunBroker auction that closed this weekend. Is a 586-4 with a 3" barrel that rare that it would justify a $4500 final bid price?

I was watching a Model 65-5 with a 3" barrel on Gunbroker because I like 3" S&W K-frame revolvers. I was really surprised that the final price was $1,850. Is there something special about this model that warrants that kind of price, or was this just a fluke? Yes, I know that "worth" is a very...

Does anyone know if S&W ever released a Model 514? I have an acquaintance who is selling a 6" .38SPL revolver that he is calling a 514. The picture for it looks exactly like a Model 17-6 with the full underlug (including a front patridge sight). I've asked him to check the frame for the model...

I recently bought a nice S&W 66-2 4", but when I took it out to shoot it, I couldn't get POI to match POA. The group was tight, but I couldn't adjust the sight enough to push the group into the bullseye. When I looked closely at the gun, I found that the top of the barrel was slightly out of...

Out of curiosity, does anyone know if there is a gun game where the 7-shot 986 is the better choice than a 929? I would love to pick up a 986 because of its look and feel, but I can't justify the purchase if it is inferior to the larger 929 for competition. Thanks!
