    Good holster for Clark Custom SSR?

    I picked up a S&W Model 66 Clark Custom SSR a while back from oneoff on here. It has the slab sided Clark barrel, and so it does not fit any of my current K-frame holsters. Now that I'm staring down retirement, I'd like to get into some amateur competitive shooting. Some local steel matches...

    Recommendations for action job on Gen 3 DAO

    I a relative newbie to Gen 3 pistols, but have certainly been bitten by the bug. First, I picked up a 5943 off of here. I absolutely love it and the trigger. Of all the autos I have ever shot, this comes the closest to feeling like a DAO revolver. Next I picked up a 3953TSW off of here...

    Model 10-5 - correct grips?

    I have a model 10-5. D serial# should land it in 1970. It's marked on the back strap as being a Metro Police District of Columbia revolver. I got it with Packmyer good-years on it but I would like to get it back to how it came from the factory. So which grips are the correct ones...

    Mechanical difference between plain jane 3953 & 3953 TSW?

    S&W 3rd gen question. Other than the dust cover rail on the TSW, the different shape of the slide cut-out where the safety would go, and the laser etching "9 TACTICAL" ---> is there any mechanical difference between the regular 3953 & the 9 Tactical 3953TSW ?? I'm assuming most parts would...

    5943 first range report

    Well, being a long time DAO revolver shooter, I was hoping I would take a quick liking to my, new to me, 5943. This is my first metal S&W auto, other than my Model 41. Just to level set. I standardized on DAO, no extra safeties, setup long ago as my go to carry platform. As such, I got rid...

    Slimmest grips out there for 5943?

    Just picked up a 5943 with the god awful Goodyears, …er, Packmyers on it. That have to go! Who makes the slimmest contour replacement grips for these? I see Hougue still makes wooden ones, but they don’t look that slim. I’ll also take holster recommendations. No fabric though. Thanks.

    Cylinder strength difference, 64 vs 65?

    I'm thinking of sending a cylinder off to have it converted to shoot 9mm using moon clips. I have a few possible K frames for the project. So here is my question: Is there any real actual difference in the mechanical strength of a cylinder off a model 64 vs one off a 65? I know the charge...

    Trying to track down Fpappano70

    Hey, I'm trying to track down user who goes by the handle Fpappano70, does anyone know him? Sold him a 586 about a year ago and just found the box for it under my reloading bench. He is not replying to PMs, nor is he replying to the email I had for him. Thanks, Pete

    Holster recommendations

    S&W model 10, 2 inch barrel, DAO bobbed hammer. Looking for a secure strong side (right) holster. IWB or OWB. Prefer leather. I've got my favorite holsters for my 3 & 4 inch K frames, but the lack of appreciable barrel might be a problem here. I'd appreciate responses from folks with...

    Valid range rule?

    So I went through an orientation this past weekend to a local range that is just about the only one in our area that has a rifle range over 200 yards. What is really cool is that at special times, you can get on steel at 600 yards. As it was described to me, they stated "we are a muzzle down...

    Proper jargon - is a model 14 a K38?

    I was always of the opinion that the Ks(K22, K32, K38) went the way of the dodo bird when model numbering started. But I run into people all the time that call their model 14 a K38. To me, NO, that's not a K38. What do all you'all think?

    **Found on GB*** WTB - 3 inch barrel for a 64-5- not pinned

    Looking for a 3 inch barrel for a project using a model 64-5 as the base. DOES NOT have a pinned barrel, so I assuming that a knock off from a pinned gun will not work.

    My chop shop model 10

    Took a GunBroker hag, 10-6, heavy barrel and had my local smith put a two incher on it (also off GB), bob the hammer and make it DAO. Total investment was ~$410, not counting the JM grips. What do all you'all think?

    Holster recommendation for 2 inch model 10 w/bobbed hammer

    Right handed, strong side, belt carry. Inside or out. All my usual favorites for my 4 inches - many don't make one for 2 inch. It's seriously butt heavy so fit is everything. Bring the recommendations!
