Real bad - Got this 640 (-3) and its now plugged. But the grips - the horror and humanity of it all. They need changing. But what - I was thinking (but I smoked too many brain cells working on a bullet buillet problem) of putting Ivory grips, or maybe Walnut grips that would fit my size too...

On the news yesterday as a video clip of a corrections officer wanta-be (wearing the shirt) near the check-outs at a local walmart - playing with his sidearm - it went off - no one hurt - he got arrested. It looks likes like Arizona is passing a new law allowing concealed carry without a...

My home, oh , home... 5 very young little girls have taken over (as section of) the house for a birthday slumber party for my 4yr old grand-daughter. The noise!!! Getting some good pictures - she is very excited about her party.

Hi Folks... My oldest buddy (best man at my wedding decades ago) has a 6906. He likes the gun but not the hammer because it is a pain to cock for single action. Has anyone changed the hammer over? And if you did, what did you use. Please comment on how that replacement went, and could you post...

I have gone back to school. Who else has continued their studies?

Ok I may e pushing these a little fast depending on what book you look at. These rounds were fired from trimed cases. There were fired from a Modern Win 94. The Muzzel velocity came out 2461fps. My 2nd adddition Sierra Boss says this is ok but the much newer Lyman book says it is hot. Wadda Ya...

I handloaded these rounds building each exact to the other. Here is my raw data and the graph I made in Excel. The data shows the relationship between my 357 and 38 rounds as shot and chronographed. The two handguns are a S&W 19 (no dash) 4" barrel, and a 640-3 2 1/8" barrel. Wadda ya think??
