Love my stainless revolvers. Every one of these is a shooter, which is why they all wear S&W OEM rubber grips. I know...boring. But I've tried numerous aftermarket grips (wood and rubber) and always come back to these as I just shoot better with them. All were purchased new (including the 1989...

I have a chance to purchase a Model 10-7 factory nickel plated snub with box and original grips. Looks like a square butt? I was told it's 1978 vintage and lady owned. Asking Price is $549, but on consignment and will probably take a little less. Looks to be shot very little to me and lock up...

Fired 110 rounds at the range today (675 total). No FTF's or FTE's until around the hundred round mark when this last case in the 10 round mag gets stuck in the mag after the slide locked back and didn't eject. I've been uncomfortable with the random ejection since new with brass thrown...

I currently have 565 rounds and have not had any FTF, FTRTB or FTEs. However, ejection is weak to me compared with other my semi-autos (P355 and SA 1911). Pattern varys form 2-6 o'clock, even with the same box of ammo. I've had a few shells land next to my right foot and hit me in the shoulder...

Followed up my initial 100 FMJ round range session with a good , cleaning/lube.One More New BG 2.0 Review Returned to the range to put 200 FMJ (Fiocchi, SB, Magtech) and 75 JHP (Federal Punch, Hornady XTP) through the new Bodyguard 2.0. The Good: 1) Again zero FTE/FTF all ammo fed and ejected...

For those with a new Bodyguard 2.0, what speed loader are you using to get the magazines loaded to full capacity? I know some people use UpLula, but there are several models, "Universal", "Baby" for .380 but looks like single stack mags. Would appreciate name of P/N. Thanks.

Picked up a new Bodyguard 2.0, $399 at LGS yesterday. Took it home, cleaned, lubed and went to an indoor range to shot 100 rounds (50 Fiocchi/50 Sellier & Bellot) FMJ ammo with it. My observations, YMMV: 1) Clean and lube before shooting when new. Some left over manufacturing grime and...

Picked up a BG 2.0 today and put 100 rounds (50 Fiocchi/50 SB). Function was flawless, no FTF, FTE, etc. Brass looks good but there is pretty heavy primer swipe. (This was a big deal with early Sig P365's and reports of firing pins breaking. Sig beveled the firing pin tip to solve the problem)...

I have read that the bodyguard 2.0 back plate can not be removed to clean out the striker channel without having to remove the rear sight. I verified this with a call to S&W CS. I typically like to clean the striker channel out and inspect the striker assembly every 500 rounds on a carry pistol...

629-5. Zero cylinder end play, no play in the yoke and timing/carry up are perfect. Gun shoots great. Would this yoke to frame fit (bottom right gap facing the cylinder front) bother you? None of my other stainless N and L frames have that large of a gap. Is it my OCD or does that gap look...

Picked up this used 629-5 w/box at LGS two days ago. Probably paid too much at $800 but functionally it checked out 100% and had great cosmetics. Judging by the recoil shield it's definitely been shot some however lock up is tight with zero end play and timing/carry up are perfect. Cleaned and...

Looking for the date of manufacture on a new to me 629-5 Classic. Product code is 103638. Serial #CDM2501. Thanks for any info.

LGS has a 629-5 with 6 1/2" barrel in approx. 90+% condition with box but no papers. It checks out functionally. Excellent carry up and trigger but with a .010"-.012" side to side B/C gap. Good forcing cone. Cosmetics are very good with no blemishes on the frame, cylinder or barrel, but it does...

Thank you armorer951. See post #5. Took a new 629-6 to the range for first time today. Cleaned and lubed prior to shooting. Gun shoots great, but there is a very slight "hitch" at the very beginning of the single action pull. If applying pressure to the trigger quickly after cocking, you...

About a month ago I foolishly traded away 629. Too much recoil, arthritis, expensive ammo, I don't hunt, etc. etc. I did pick up a 686 with 6" barrel that is a tack driver and just plain fun to shoot. Swore I was done with .44 Magnums. Never again. I had a small stash of .44 Special and Magnum...

What are these machining marks on the cylinder throats, (the rings at 12 and 8 o'clock, not the chamfers)? Tooling? Not my gun but have seen this now on several new S&W revolver cylinders. If the purpose of the throat is to help size the bullet for the forcing cone and bore and typically has a...

I have a dilemma with my new 686+ regarding the factory B/C gap. Input from this forum may help me with my choices. Background: This is a fun to shoot range toy to shoot steel and paper outdoor. Will never be used for hunting or self/home defense. I have other options for that. The gun is...

Early Feb I got into N-Frame .44 Magnums as range toys on impulse. First used 629 had carry up problems. A self proclaimed S&W certified "gun smith" butchered the action making it worse. Gone. Second NIB 629 was perfect according to measurements and tests, but shaved copper/lead badly and...

Not a Classic, Deluxe, Hunter, PC, etc. I enjoy the "classic" looks and feel of the standard half lug 629-6 w/6" barrel, but wanted some retro style wood stocks. I ordered S&W factory Walnut round to square conversion grips (believe made by Altamont) and gave it a little polish with Mother's to...

S&W Classic SKU: 163638 and Deluxe SKU 150714. What exactly is the difference between the two 6.5" barrel models? The obvious is the wood grip on the Deluxe (no Hogue rubber grip comes with it). The not so obvious is the S&W specs for the Classic weighing 49.3 oz. at 12.0" long and 50.7 oz for...
