When I got my M&P 2.0 I thought the trigger was ok and not worth upgrading. Now that I have my Shield Plus I am not liking my 2.0 so much. Do you guys know if the new full size M&P trigger that is in the 10mm is available for the other M&Ps?

Hey guys I wanted to let you know about an issue that I just discovered. I picked up an extra 13 round magazine at Cabelas in Grandville Mi and noticed that it would not drop free. At first I thought that it might be my gun. Then I tried the 13 round and the 10 round magazines that came with the...

I went to the local Cabellas yesterday and saw that the have a couple versions of the Shield Plus. One was the plain jane version with a set of ear muffs and a range bag. Standard sights came on this gun too. That was $499. The other was the one with the optics ready slide and night sights. This...

I was in a local shop yesterday and they really didn't have a lot. But they did have a Shield 2.0, 40S&W from the Performance Center. It was pretty cool. It had a 4inch barrel and the fiber optic sight. If I didn't already have my 2.0 Compact 40 I would have considered buying it. Do people...

I picked up some 15 round magazines to use with my M&P Compact, 2.0, .40. I used up the two collars (not sure if that is the right terminology for these) that came with my pistol but I am looking for a couple extra. I can imagine that I can get some from S&W but I am curious if there are other...

I have an Airlite Ti 342. I carried it as a back up for many years. In fact I bought it the first year they came out. It is one of the original grey or silver finished ones. I am thinking of having it cerokoted in a different color. Probably matte black or maybe a color like blueing. I would...

Hi guys, I am in a quandary about my little .32 Top Break revolver. I bought the revolver at least 10 years ago. On the outside it is in excellent condition. On the inside, not so much. I had an issue with it working ok in double action mode but not in single action. If you cocked the hammer it...

I am hoping to find a hammer and a pin for my .32 top break Smith and Wesson. I sent it off to a gun smith who didn't complete the work and it was returned without the hammer and the rear pin above the trigger guard. I am hoping that someone here might have an idea where I should look or...

I keep seeing a lot of 66's here and I wonder if I need to add one to the collection. I have 342, 586 and 686 and I am starting to feel like I need to add to my .38/.357 mix. Why should I start the search for a 66? Jay

What do you look at to evaluate shootability on these? I look at the hinge, cylinder lock up, tightness of the latch ant it's hinge too and then look at grips and overall exterior condition. What other things should I consider? Thanks, Jay

I have this 586. I got it at a pretty good price last fall. I like it a lot but I am not crazy about the 6" barrel. That is why I have the 4" barrel in the picture. I am thinking about having S&W change out the 6" for the 4". I am having some reservations. The biggest one is that the gun is in...

Title pretty much says it all. I thought they were a great idea and wanted to get one and the next thing I know, they disappeared. Was there something wrong with the design? Jay

I have this old Model 36 box and paperwork that I have been hanging onto for some unknown reason and I am not sure if I should keep it, toss it or try to sell it. Not sure if they are collectable or not. What are your thoughts on the matter? Jay

Of the antiques, which model do you personally prefer? I am partial to the safety hammerless I think. What are your favorite models? Just curious, Jay

Looking for some .32 S&W top break load advise. My .32 double action top break needs to be shot and I was wondering if you guys had some reload information for smokeless loads that would equal the pressure of a black powder load. I am leaning toward Trail Boss powder. I know these guns are...

I was in the LGS last weekend checking on if these out and thought it looked pretty nice. I reload .45acp and thought this might be a good shooter for me. Was wondering what you guys might have to say about it, what the pros and cons might be. Thanks for any insight you might have. Jay

Hoping some of you can shed some light on a problem that I have with my antique S&W. I have a .32 double action, 4th model with a broken stirrup. Not sure what I can do to get a new, or at least a working replacement. Numerich and Jack First do not have what I need... Any advice would be...

I broke the stirrup, or at least that is what I believe it is called. It is the part that the hammer and hammer spring are attached to each other by. I am not sure what to do. I looked on Numerich's web page and they don't have them. Any suggestions that you might have would be appreciated. I...

Thanks for all the advice that you guys gave on my "topbreak" posts. I think this one will make a fine little shooter. there is some nickle flaking going on but I have seen a lot worse looking nickeled antique Smiths that is for certain. If it were 95+ I probably wouldn't shoot it. It locks...

This H&R top break is my first top break. It belonged to a fellow cowboy action shooter who pasted a couple years ago. I bought it from his estate. I like it but have no plans on shooting it. On the other hand it has enticed me into getting another top break .32. See my other post about the one...
