I've got a couple of simple target stands that I've used for about 40 years. Just a couple of wooden frames made from 2x2, with cardboard attached to the front to staple targets to. To stand them up, I always carried a couple of short boards and C-clamps to the range with me, and would clamp a...

Hey, can someone with a Model 520 (the blue, six shot, fixed sight, N-frame .357) measure the height of the front sight for me? I have one that I bought a few years back and the front sight has been filed down to only .088 above the top of the ramp. The GB seller theorized that someone was...

It was mentioned in this thread ( https://smith-wessonforum.com/reloading/715585-garmin-xero-review.html ) that LabRadar might be coming out with a new unit to compete with the Garmin C1. I got an email just today from LabRadar that seems to confirm that. LabRadar LX - New Product- Preorder for...

I just bought a couple of cases of CCI .22LR ammo (Blazer and Mini-Mags) and wondered what the manufacture date on them was. I found the following info via Google: Since 1995 SPEER/CCI products have used lot numbers that allow you to discern their date of manufacture. These lot numbers are in...

I know there are a lot of .32 fans on the Forum here so I thought I'd show off my latest Ruger .327 Magnum. (Click on the pics for a larger version.)

I have an uncommon Cimarron-Uberti SAA in .32-20 with an extra .327 Federal Magnum cylinder. Uncommon because they don't make one. Here it is with the .327 cylinder installed. .327 on the left, original .32-20 on the right. Interestingly Cimarron makes a 7/8 scale SAA called the Model P...

The premier website for reviews of digital photography equipment, dpreview.com is shutting down April 10. Apparently Amazon (which bought the site about 15 years ago) is just too broke to keep it going. :mad: This is a huge blow for anyone who is interested in current photographic equipment...

Granted, it's made in Taiwan and it's only 4.5mm (.177 BB) instead of 9mm. The "Authentic Weight, Balance, and Handling" is a bit of a stretch, the 9mm is definitely heavier even without a loaded mag and comparatively top heavy as well. But aside from the slightly thicker magazine base and red...

Last fall I tried to find a new place for us to hold the Southwest Bunch meetings (Saturday evening after the Wanenmacher Tulsa Arms Shows) that we had been having at the Best Western by the airport. I didn't have any luck then and I haven't now...

We've had a hawk hanging around our back yard for a while. I had stepped outside and saw him standing on the ground, so I went back inside and got my camera. I noticed him pecking at the ground and as I got closer and zoomed in, I could see that he was eating earthworms! Doing some googling...

Yesterday I went to one of the small, monthly gun shows that are put on in Tulsa (NOT the Wanenmacher show). It usually takes me about 45 minutes to go through once and this time was no different - nothing of interest. But I decided to check out a couple of local gun shops as well. At the...

As had been reported before, the Best Western that we had previously been having the Southwest Bunch meetings at has closed down its meeting room. Chad Gripp had said that renting the room had cost about $200 and that our meetings were generally 60-90 people. For the low end of...

Has anyone been able to contact the forum as a non-member using their "Contact Us" page, or email? I was banned from the site in January and have been trying to appeal my ban, with no response from them. Their contact page even has a dropdown for "Ban Appeal" but maybe that just means it goes...

So I was the losing bidder in the auction for a 6" 1905 M&P in .32 S&W Long, as discussed in these two threads: Completed auction - .32 M&P? .32 Long M&P Arrived Today To make myself feel better I acquired this 6" 1905 4th Change M&P in .32-20. All matching, including the grips. The sideplate...

The auction for this gun closed a few hours ago. It looks to me like the description which labels it as a Regulation Police is incorrect, and I think it is a pre-war .32 S&W Long M&P. Opinions as to whether it is or not, and on the hammer price? Attention Required! | Cloudflare Item...

The Wanenmacher gun show was held in Tulsa this past weekend. Did anyone come back with any goodies? I found a Colt Army Special in .32-20 that is a virtual twin to my Colt Official Police in .32-20. Aside from the barrel stamping and checkering on the cylinder release they are pretty much...

I had heard good things about the Henry lever actions so I thought I'd try one. I found a used one on Gunbroker set up the way I wanted it, 24" octagonal barrel with a Skinner peep sight set at the rear of the action for the longest sight radius. The action worked smoothly as advertised, and I...

I went to one of the monthly small gun shows we have here in the Tulsa area, that typically take me about 45 minutes to go through and come away with nothing. This time it was a little different. I had never seen one of these before in real life, and really was only aware of the...

I was at my local gun shop when I spotted this in the "used guns" area. "Used" seems to be a bit of a misnomer in this case. With a serial of 9025 (no prefix) the SCSW 4th Edition dates it to 1954. Matching serials in all the usual places except the grips.

I had posted in the Smithing section about a Triple Lock that I have with a too-tall front sight - it shoots about 8 inches low. http://smith-wessonforum.com/s-w-smithing/627269-how-lower-nickel-front-sight.html One of the suggestions was to try a Wonder Sight and since it also shoots...
