I've been thinking about getting another j frame as a backup and since money is kind of tight, I'm looking at used guns. I see one that is in good mechanical condition but it has the peeling stainless(?) finish. It's an airweight, so perhaps stainless is not the right term. Anyone ever try...

Pro-Series Model .357 with fluted barrel, Apex trigger kit installed. No Lock! Beautiful gun. Satin Stainless Finish, S&W black rubber grips, Front & Rear Trijicon Night Sights, comes with (2) full moon clips (still in package). Purchased in July of this yeaer, less than 400 rounds through it...

I like to practice with my carry gun (Airweight 638), usually twice a month. I shoot 100-150 rounds each session. I've noticed that the barrel is really hot after my first box. Should I be letting the gun cool off between boxes? Is the J-frame made to withstand this kind of shooting. Maybe I'm...

Yesterday I ordered a 640 Pro Series. It's beautiful AND I can see the sights. Anyone have any experience with this gun??

Anyone here shot one yet? I held one in my local gs yesterday and I'm very interested. I've never owned or even been tempted by any other Ruger revolver. But this gun seems to have a nice trigger and it shoots 9mm, one of my favorite calibers. I haven't met anyone who's actually shot one, but...

I thought I was going to love this gun because I love shooting my .38 J Frames. But alas, I do not like it. I prefer shooting 22lr from a semi-automatic. I bought it new on November 26, 2014. It has less than 200 rounds through it. I had contemplated putting an Apex trigger kit in it but I...

Just got back from shooting my new 63 for the first time. I was expecting to love this but I really don't. The trigger is really long and gritty. Anyone else have this experience on the new 3" Anyone do any work on their trigger? I've put a few Apex kits in .38's, but am kind of reluctant to...

I just ordered one because I couldn't find one anywhere - even on line. But even the distributor didn't have one. No telling how long I'll have to wait. Anyone have any pictures? How do they shoot? thanks (this will be my only non-hump J)

I like to give my guns a thorough cleaning after shooting, but I haven't been able to get into all the little nooks and crannies to get the hardened powder out. (see photo) I tried a little 0000 steel wool and just succeeded in removing the finish. I tried a tooth brush but it didn't give enough...

I just don't shoot this gun, the weight difference between it and my 638 (and 438) throws me off. So I'm selling it to fund something else. It had a little pitting on the left side, above and below the latch - down below the logo, and up along the line of the hump. I cleaned it up with Break...

Bought these because I liked the look of them, but didn't care for shooting with them. They only had one trip to the range. Can be seen on Alamont's site: Altamont Company - Smith & Wesson $24 shipped. PO Money Order please. Feedback can be seen on northeastshooters.com as user maxstravinsky.

Attached is a photo of the Model 49 bodyguard I picked up this weekend for $275. It seems mechanically sound; there was a little pitting on the left side near the top of the grip. I went over it very gently with a little Break Free and 0000 steel wool. Serial Number is ALD38## Can anyone help...

I just got back from my local gun shop, and they had a model 49 Bodyguard in the case. It looks like it hasn't been shot much, but it has some pitting. It's a consignment gun priced at $295. Any thoughts on what a fair price is? It would be my #3 humpback, so there's not a real need, just a...

I've read that I shouldn't use Hoppe's solvent on the 442 or 438. So what is safe to use? Thanks for the help.

I bought this from Mika a while back (can't remember when exactly). It's the round cut pocket holster for a Smith & Wesson J frame revolver. It is green leather. It was only used a couple of times, pocket carry didn't work out for me (I'm a female). I'm on ebay as maxs. if you want to check my...

I put my 99% 3" 686+ Talo Edition (rounded red cocobolo grips) on consignment today. I had a trigger job ($75) done to it and also included a pair of Hogue rubber grips. It has less than 200 rounds through it, and is perfectly clean (could probably pass for bnib). I wanted to list it at $750...

Gone - traded! Blackhawk Sport Serpa Holster for J frame - never used. Bought it online from BassPro, it sat here for awhile and I decided I'd rather have a leather holster. I'll send a photo if you've got something I'm interested in. It looks like a brand new Blackhawk holster. It's right...

Sold pending funds Two newish S&W magazines for the 3913 Ladysmith, 908, etc. One has seen minimal use, the other is still in the bag - never used. I have lots of feedback on Northeastshooters.com at maxstravinsky, and ebay as maxs. (period needed). Photos to come later today.

This 3913 Ladysmith is in very good condition. I have never had a single misfire of any kind with it, and I've put between 500 and 1000 rounds through it. It comes with a spare spring, guide rod and 4 S&W mags (and also the UTG bag I've kept it in) . I bought 2 of the mags recently, 1 is...

Someone on my local gun forum is looking for a 3rd gen gun. I've got a 3913 Ladysmith in very good condition, with 4 mags (2 of them brand new), a spare spring, and a spare recoil rod. I love this gun, but I've had some medical issues which make it painful for me to shoot anything larger than...
