I'm interested in the opinions of the Performance Center's "M&P Pistol Action Package" from anyone who has had the service performed on their pistol(s). Currently, I have an M&P9 Shield & M&P9 Thumb Safety. The Shield is one of my carry guns; the M&P9 a range gun that I never carry. Both are...

For those of you that check your handguns for POA/POI, how do you do it? Do you use sandbags, some kind of DIY rest, a commercially available rest, or something else? Do you have any pictures of your set up? I don't have a private range or gun club anywhere near me that I'm aware of; I can...

Hi folks. I just scored a LNIB transition 645, complete with the factory box. However, there is no manual for it. The model on the box label is 6450. Can anyone tell me if the manual for this gun is different than that of a "regular" 645, or maybe a 4506? I'd like to be on the lookout for one...

I'd like to buy a set of the original black plastic (vinyl?) grips for a 645. Not the 1-piece wrap-around of the transition model, but the 2-piece grip panels.

I have a question or 2 concerning refinishing. I am not questioning the merits of refinishing - there are plenty of discussion posts in the forum concerning "to refinish or not to refinish" & I've read a bunch of them! I've made no decisions yet; my gun collection is primarily made up of...

Happened to stop at a LGS yesterday (Northfield Guns) after work to see if any of my "must have" guns might be for sale. I didn't really see anything, but after some casual discussion with the owner (Jim) in which I mentioned one of those must have items is a M27, we walked over to another...

Let me say right off that I am not bashing S&W Customer Service. But this is a comparison that I think bears consideration. On 02-March, I sent a letter created on my laptop & printed on stationary via the USPS to Ruger, the exact text of which follows here: Dear Customer Service, I am in...

The XDs 4.0 in 9MM. This gun makes a lot of sense to me - a 4" barreled, single stack 9MM. With the grip extension on the mag you have 9+1 rounds; without the extension it is 7+1. The grip is less than 1 inch wide. I think it might be a great nightstand gun for my wife. Five more rounds than...

Folks: I believe there is a difference in the barrels of the above, but does anyone know what the differences are? For instance: the M4506 utilized, I believe, the M645 frame. Were the slides the same too (except for the sight cuts)? If so, were the barrels interchangeable? When the M4506-1...

I have 2 questions concerning a newly acquired 645. First - can anyone help me with an approximate date of manufacture? The serial number begins with "TBT1". I know I have to get the S&W book, but if anyone can look that up for me I appreciate it! Second: I've come to understand there are 2...

Looking for a set of Model 645 factory black plastic grip panels. Please PM with offers. Thanks!

Bought another set of grips from 00Buck2. The grips are better than he described them, shipped quickly & packaged well. He is to be trusted!

Hi folks, I have wanted a clean 4506 for a while. This gun does not fit my definition of "clean", but it did catch my interest because it is a no dash & is built on the 645 frame. It does appear used to say the least. I haven't had my hands on it yet, I've only been sent these pictures by...

I went to the gun show in Akron yesterday, armed with a wallet full of greenbacks & shopping list. Came home with all my money minus the $6 to get in - plus the $1 to park in a mud bog. :rolleyes: There were a few nice guns. There was one vendor who has a nice group of M19s he was selling but...

Anybody here seen the Bill O'Reilly & Dennis Miller Bolder Fresher show? My wife & I attended the show in Pittsburgh last night & really enjoyed it. Dennis Miller is just as funny today as he was so many years ago! Sent from my HTC Droid DNA using Tapatalk.

Is the BRatliff that won this auction the BRatliff that posts here? If these are the going prices today, it looks like it will be a long time before my 686 collection sees a 2-1/2" barrel model! But - congrats on a winning bid!

The grips I purchased from 00Buck2 are as advertised, packaged very robustly & shipped very quickly - definitely a seller I would buy from again!

Hi folks! :D I have a question about S&W factory grips. I have a 4" M57-1 which I purchased used, & I have a 4" M686 on the way from a GA purchase. Both of these guns are wearing rubber grips & I want to replace them with factory wood. I keep my eye on EBay & the prices asked for used...

Hi folks- long time member here & hardly ever post (but I do read!). I was hoping to get some info on a 57-1 I own. I bought the gun used, on impulse, back in 2002 for $250 with no box or papers. It's a 4" blue with a nice tight lock-up & minimal end shake. It has a little bluing wear on the...
