After cleaning my 686 I tried to use the range rod and it gets stuck as it gets close to the forcing cone. Is that normal? I am using the match range rod if it matters. I used a camera to look at the grooves and lands it they appear to be clean.

I have a model 422 that appears to have weak ejection. Sometimes it spits the shell casing out and it barley rolls off the wooden grip and sometimes it stovepipes sticking out sideways and another fresh round wedging it in trying to feed it. I know when my ruger mk3 had those problems I dressed...

Any one have any experience with Bayou bullets button nose 138 grain wad cutters? Im thinking of loading some up with either sport pistol, n320 or solo 1000.

Hey, I have been messing with my 627 ALLOT lately, just wanted to share my experiences. I was not too happy about the weight of the trigger pull so I ordered the Wilson combat spring set. I put in the Wilson main spring and the 12 pound rebound slide spring. With the 12 pound rebound spring it...

I have a 627 Pro, I procured Jerry Kuhnhausens manual. It is a bit different since he talks about forged hammers and triggers and I have MIM hammer and trigger. When I pull the trigger, the DA sear starts levering the hammer back but after a bit of pull the force/levering transfers to the...
