    19-9 Carry Comp Finish Issue

    So I’ve had a 3” Carry Comp for a little bit. Got it to carry off duty during the winter, but took some time to set the gun up the way I wanted it. Fixed D&L rear sight. Hogue round butt conversion G10 grips. And plugged the lock. Anyways, I finally got around to shooting (Buffalo Bore 180...

    K-Frame… Round or Square Conversion

    So, I ordered a new 3” Carry Comp last week. Should be at my dealer on Tuesday (7/5). I’m not really a .357 Magnum fan, but I’m considering eventually getting a .357 lever gun with threaded barrel to suppress (have a Griffin Bushwhacker 46, so could do that or bump up to .44; just think .38...

    Moving to Maine, Found a Nice M&P

    So, I’m in the process of starting a new job up in Houlton. Spent a few days looking around, and found a gun shop to browse as I waited for a realtor to call me back. Was a few surplus rifles, but nothing really caught my eye. Also saw a few pre-1964 Winchester lever guns (.30-30), but again...

    Picking Up a M1917 at a Gun Show (What To Look For)

    I’ve been wanting a .45 ACP revolver for some time, and having some cash set aside, think I’m going to do it. Prior to leaving NJ (beginning of April), there are two Oaks, PA gun shows scheduled that I can make; one the second weekend of February and one the fourth weekend of March (March is...

    Hollow Base, Standard Pressure .38 Special

    Looking to see if anyone has a recommendation for commercial, standard pressure .38 Special with lead, hollow base bullets. Just picked up a converted Victory revolver, so trying to find a load that will likely better work with the .38 S&W barrel (0.361”). Not a fan of wadcutters, which Magtech...

    Converted Victory... Worth It?

    Probably with that title, I really need to break it down into two questions... I’m looking at getting a Victory revolver, which was rechambered for .38 Special (originally in .38 S&W), and the barrel was shortened/lanyard ring hole filled in (still with the larger barrel dimension). Not really...

    Carry Option for 9mm J-Frame Reloads

    I'm a big fan of carrying reloads for my carry guns... and when I had my S&W 642-1 shooting .38s, I went through a few options before sticking with HKS speedloaders. They worked the best for me, and was happy with them. Fast forward to me converting my J-frame to 9mm... HKS speedloaders aren't...

    9mm J-frame Moonclip Profile Compared to 9mm LCR Moonclips

    Just wanted to see if anyone had both styles of moonclips for comparison, or at least the LCR, that I can check to see how much dimensionally the two differ. I have J-frame moonclips, as well as a micrometer. I'm thinking the biggest difference between the two is size of the inlet for the...

    WTS S&W 1006 Straight Grip SPF

    I have stock grips from my 1006, which I removed when I swapped in Hogue rubber grips. These are the straight ones, as opposed to the curved grips. No other parts are included. This should fit all full grip length 10mm and .45 pistols, with the exception of those with the SIG style decocker...

    I purchased a Yugo M48A from Richard. Perfect transaction. Good guy to deal with, and the gun was just as described. Always wanted to get into Mausers, and feel this was the best way at a decent price. Thanks.

    Moon Clip Question; Refinishing

    I recently converted my 642-1 to 9mm via buying a converted .38 cylinder (done by Pinnacle), so I have started down the road of moon clips. My original .38 cylinder is not cut for them (refinished in NP3 Plus, so didn't want to mess with it; used HKS speedloaders), and nether is my 629-1. Other...

    .357 SIG Barrel Sources

    Are there any sources left for .357 SIG barrels? I'm looking for two... one being a standard Compact barrel. The other would be to fit my 5" Pro. I'm sure S&W didn't do a 5" in .357 SIG, but a few websites I looked at didn't offer anything other than 9mm conversions in that length. Thanks for...

    My 9mm 642-1

    I've been looking at the 9mm Ruger LCR for sometime now, and really wanting it in the X configuration... but decided to go down another road. I've owned a 642-1 (no lock) for a few years, which I had Robar redo in NP3 Plus. Really happy with it, but it is a .38 Special. I'm not a fan of .357...

    Can a Pro Trigger Be Installed on a Non-Pro Gun

    I just bought a M&P40 Pro (5 inch) and a M&P40C (no safeties/locks, but with night sights). Originally was going to go with a Glock 35 and 27, but due to the issues that have been occurring at a more frequent rate, lately, I figured to put my money into another company (actually saved a little)...

    CT Grips For Ankle Carry

    I have a 642-1 (no lock) that I'm considering on moving to CT grips. As it sits now, I only swapped out the hammer (didn't like the darker stock one, so I found a gray anodized one) and grips (Hogue Monogrip). I am going to send the gun out for NP3 Plus (now makes the trigger seem pointless)...
