    From what I know (not much) the 19-6 and19-7 have the round butt, previous models don't. Cosmetics not important, but no rust or pitting. Mechanically sound, and good bore and chamber condition very important. This will be a house gun. I'm in WA state, about 35 miles north of Seattle.

    Muzzle Velocity and Recoil

    I've been trying to figure this out and it's making me crazy. 1. Say you have two different cartridges, same caliber. 2. The bullet weights differ by a significant amount (25 grains?). 3. Powder loads are such that both cartridges exit the same revolver at the same muzzle velocity. My...

    3953 Night Sights Maker?

    Came on a nice example of a 3953 today at a pawn shop. I'm liking it. Asking price is a little lower than what I've seen on line. The night sight lamps are dead, so I'm thinking that if I go for it, I'd want to replace the lamps only, if possible. The fixed rear sight is marked MH3 on the...

    When to change 3914 recoil spring?

    Is there a factory spec or recommendation as to when to do this? If so, is it based on spring length or round count? If not, what do folks use as a guideline? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

    ted1trading: Great Seller

    Beautiful 3914 at a fair price, quick to ship, and helped when things went a little sideways with the receiving FFL. Transaction couldn't have been any better.

    3913/3914 extended magazine release

    I'm right-handed, use the "thumbs forward" two hand hold. My right thumb is too short to operate the mag release without major grip shifting. I can do it with my left hand but that's real awkward for mag changes. I know Ed Brown made these years ago, discontinued them, and sold the remaining...

    Bore light recomendations?

    I'd like to pick one up, I see there are two types at least. This: MILITARIA AA BATTERY BORELIGHT - Brownells And this: FLEXIBLE LED BORE LIGHT - Brownells Note these are type examples only. (That LED light has some pretty bad reviews, I wouldn't touch it with a fork.) Any specific or...

    Is this yoke bent, out of alignment, or just "normal wear"

    Looking at an S&W up for auction. Attached is a cut from one of the pics in the listing. The areas that concern me are highlighted by red. To me they look like significant gaps when compared to my wife's new Model 632. (The first of many S&Ws I hope follow me hime.) Asked the seller about this...

    Price advice for model 940

    This is available locally, Washington state. I've handled it, cosmetics are very nice. Action is a tad rough, could use some smoothing and maybe lighter springs. Gun comes with no box, papers. moon clips, tools, etc. No nothing but the gun. Seller asking $1k which I think is high given it's the...

    New Model 632 cylinder issues and questions

    Yesterday my wife had her first trial of her new Model 632, shooting .32 S&W longs. Some "issues" surfaced, and being a complete noob with S&W revolvers I'm not sure what, if anything caused them and what to do about them. After four cylinder's worth of shooting she couldn't open the...

    Range Report Wife's first time out with her new Model 632

    By way of introduction, she decided she wanted a gun for HD. She chose the 632 for herself, liking the weight, balance, and fit of the grip. This was after shooting a 4" 617 (too heavy) and a Ruger .38 Special GP-100 (too heavy, too much recoil). We both liked the fact that she could start with...

    Long-time semi-auto guy, revolver noob in Snohomish

    Been a 1911/Browning Hi Power fan for more years than I care to remember. What brings me here is my wife's desire to learn how to use a gun for HD. Since arthritis in both hands makes racking a slide very painful we've been looking at revolvers. This looks to me like a great source for info and...
