    I might still have to get a new 29 with the lock..

    … but in the meantime, I’m picking up this dash-2 today (If I can find a clever excuse to sneak out of the house past my wife. Its raining today, so the “car wash” excuse is untenable.) The PACHMYR grips are my absolute favorite for actually FIRING any revolver. But for nostalgia sake, I...

    Model 29 "Classic" - sleeve or shroud barrel?

    I can't seem to get a clear answer on this. One youtube "reviewer" even talks about his new gun, and about how he doesn't mind the sleeved barrel, and while displaying the muzzle that to me looks like IT IS NOT SLEEVED. The picture on the Smith and Wesson website looks like it is NOT SLEEVED...

    29-3 in stainless?

    I just acquired a 29-3 in what genuinely appears to be stainless. Anyone else ever encounter a stainless 29-3? It has some light pitting on one side of the frame where I guess something caustic found its way under the squishy HOGUE grip. Pic shows some residual rubber-schmootz on the pitting...

    swap cylinder on model 442 (install 642 cylinder?)

    I am trying to swap the cylinder on my Model 442 with the cylinder from a Model 642. Why?... Because I want to for the heck of it. And because I am thinking about having the 642 cylinder cut for moon-clips so I can have the option to shoot the 442 with 38's with the original cylinder, or with...

    45 ACP moon clips OK for current version of Model 25-15

    I'm looking at the current version of the Model 25. I believe it would be the 25-15 version now. Two questions: 1. Can I shoot 45 ACP with moon clips in it? 2. Is it a conventional barrel like the old days, or does it have a tube-and-shroud arrangement? I think I know the answer to the second...

    Beretta 92S review

    Beretta 92S review I couldn’t resist the sub-$300 price on the Beretta 92S from Palmetto State Armory. I’m quite satisfied with the specimen I received yesterday. Not a museum piece by any means, but well worth the price paid. It appears to have been very well-kept all these years, but with...
