    Huge mistake with new 57!!

    Being a big fan of the 41 Magnum, I purchased a NIB current model 57. Shot like a dream...then I cleaned it. Used Hoppes on bore and cylinder charging holes and CLP on rest of gun. Immediately notice the bluing coming of the cylinder. Did not know what caused this. Called S&W customer...

    N Frame VZ Grips?

    Anyone try the new VZ grips for the N frame? Their site has them and they really look good. Lots of different choices. Almost pulled the trigger on a couple while they were on sale. Ended up buying a bunch of other stuff. Still thinking about it.

    Me Too

    I just got my 10 today. Number 649. Have added the MagPul grip, midlength handguards, ACS stock, and a Leupold VXR Zombie scope w/single piece Leupold scope mount. Took everything apart and cleaned/lubed and put one of my 20 round Magpuls in to see how it feels/weight distribution. Just...

    Cleaning Cylinder Front?

    I have mostly stainless Smiths and clean the front of the cylinder with Flitz, just to make it look clean to me. Personal preference...Today I shot my NightGuard with the blackened stainless cylinder and wondered what would be a safe cleaner that would return it to the "clean" look.

    New 357 Mountain Gun

    Just came from my dealer and to my surprise he had one of the new releases of the 357 Mountain Gun. I have never seen the original releases and had gotten used to all being the N Frame. This is the 686 L Frame and seems really small. It weighs in at 33oz and is just a few ozs more than my N...

    627 Canceled?

    Looking at the new format of the S&W site and noticed there is not a 4" 8 shot stainless steel (not pro series) listed. Did I just miss it or is it gone? If it is gone, it will speed up my decision to get one.

    38/357 Differences?

    I know there are posts but cant find them. I am wondering the difference in muzzle velocity between a 2.5 inch 357 and a 4 inch 38 special +p with same bullet weight. I realize the shorter barrel may not provide length for the 357 to get to speed and maybe the 4 inch gets the 38 +p closer to...

    Input needed...Night Guard OR

    Having a heck of a time deciding whether to get a Night Guard 327 8 shot or a 627 4 inch 8 shot. It would be for general use including vehicle gun. I have been over the plus and minus ideas for quite a while and have not gotten off the dime. Just thought tonight I would just get both and be...

    New 66 Carry Load PD

    I recently purchased an as new 66 2.5". With cold weather coming on I thought I would give it a try for carry. I have a choice on hand of: 125 Hydra Shok, Glasser Blue, or Black Talon 180. Or just continue to carry my Glock 23 which gives me 13+1. I cant imagine being involved in a situation...

    Another Bad Experience with S&W Customer Service

    Yesterday I found a S&W 66-7 2.5" 357 in new or as new condition. When I got it home I did the usual cleaning of a new Smith. I noticed on the top ramp leading to the front sight (where all the lines appear) that the two outside cuts were noticably higher than the inside. They actually stick up...
