    Big LCR Grips to prevent Crimp Jump?

    What are the largest, heaviest grips available for the LCR? I hope to improve reliability for Crimp Jump (ammo falling apart) by adding as much weight as possible to my 9mm LCR. This is a range gun only. I really wanted a 9mm SP-101, but they are unobtainable. I have a J-Frame with 10 oz...

    Chiefs Special Fixed Sight Model 36 Ammo Options?

    Hi, I love my classic Model 36 chrome snubby but it shoots low with ammo thats not 158 grain. I like the small fixed sight allows me to shoot tiny groups, but with modern bullets there doesnt seem to be a good load of 158 HPs that expands out of a snubby. From my research it's all Short Bore...

    J Frame Grip Weights? Bantams/ Monogrip / Compac / Compac Pro / Gripper

    Hey guys, do you know how much the rubber J Frame grips weigh? I'm trying to decide on the best balance of recoil control and concealability for me. I happen to have a Pachmayr Gripper which is excellent but heavy at 4.2oz. How much do the following grips weigh? Hogue Bantams: Hogue...

    Hogue Tamer Grips fit on older J Frames?

    Howdy folks... I'm shopping around for grips for my classy old model 36. From what I can tell the Hogue Tamer grip seems a good balance of light weight concealability (2oz?) and a covered backstrap. Do they fit all round butt J Frames? Is it just for Bodyguard / Centennials? Can anyone...

    Model 36 Fails to Fire!

    I've got a classy old model 36 from the early 70s which fails to fire a lot more often than I would like. I replaced the spring with a standard power 8lb (edit 8.5lb) wolff spring and it still failed, so I bought a used DA only hammer. It STILL fails to fire, especially magtech and not so much...

    Changing out a hammer spring on a model 36?

    Hi.. I was wondering if anybody has any tricks on reassembling the hammer spring on a model 36? It's a beast to press it down without damaging anything. I've figured out that if you use a key ring to pull the spring down then pop the cup on it helps. Then you spin the key ring off. I bet...

    Bodyguard style Hammer on a Model 36 Chiefs Special?

    I'm interested in a bobbed "Bodyguard" style DA / SA replacement hammer for my early 70s (5J6XXX) Model 36 Chiefs Special. Are there any bodyguard style hammers that are cutdown for pocket DA carry but still have a usable SA nub for the ocassional tin can? Will a fork style hammer I buy off...

    Advice on a Chiefs Special Model 36

    Howdy there, I'm seriously considering buying a Chiefs Special Model 36. It's a nickel model, a bit rusty but locks up nice and serial number 58XXX (1955 i think). I was looking for a newer snubby Airweight but I found this one in my area for $350. I hope that a little flitz polish will clean...

    19-4 cylinder lock sometimes doesnt 2nd click

    I just aquired a 19-4 and it's a beauty. Its in excellent condition. Not a scratch on it, no flame cutting, no cone erosion. The previous owner claims nothing but 38 specials shot out of it. On one or two of the cylinders the cylinder lock fails to engage, thus there is no "second click"...
