Nice leather OWB Don Hume for Smith 3913. Holster is not even broken in. Looking for a holster for a 4" L-frame. Pic below shows holster and the pistol I owned. Very concealable and comfortable.

Looking to try out the xtream 158 grain SWC bullets but cant seem to find much load data. I have w231 powder and look to load in 38 cases. They will be fired from a 4 inch 686. Are these a good shooting Bullet? link 38- 158 SWC What powder charge would you all recommend? Thanks

I am new to loading but have done well with 223 and 45 ACP rounds, but the 238s are baffling me. I am getting inconstant loads I and loading 125 grain Berrys plated flat point bullets. I have used 2 different primers 2 different jframe revolvers and 2 different powders. The most recent loads...

I am a new reloader and have loaded 45 ACP rounds on my Rock chucker press. I would like to make some 38 special loads for my J-frame since 38 factory loads are very pricey. I do like to shoot the little revolver a lot and would only use the reloads for range play. I need dies and was...

A friend took his new shield 9 to the range last night and on the second round it locked open. we removed the mag and had to work like hell to get the slide to close. Tried different mags and shooters the problem continued. We field stripped it and didnt see anything obvious. So its going...

I am looking for a pocket pistol that is less bulky than my 642 and was thinking of a bodyguard. I want to the LGS ad they did not have any in stock to check out. I did check out the LCP custom and it seemed pretty good but could not make a direct comparison to the bodyguard. I know the LCP is...

I have a 642 that all the sudden the trigger started to act funny. I have a lighter rebound spring in it, but have fired several hundred rounds through it with out issue after the spring swap. The trigger acts like its bound up and hard to pull, and after the hammer drops the trigger wont...

I saw a 3913 in what I consider ok condition with 1 mag sell on gunbroker for $590. It did have the original box but does that make such a difference?

Well thanks to many of you that posted in my thread about trading my shield for a 3913, the trade is done. Any info, or advice would be great. Here are a few questions. 1. The pistol in in excellent condition the guy I got it from said he bought it new and fired it less than 100 rounds and I...

I am currently seeking to trade my 9mm shield for another pistol that would be a little more range friendly. I have been offered a 3913 in "like new " condition. I know nothing about the pistol other than the basic stats form internet search. So, would a 3913 be a better range pistol than the...

Have not seen this posted, thoughts M&P Shield 9mm: 8 Rounds From a 7 Round Magazine - YouTube

I would like to slightly reduce the trigger effort on my 642, it has already been fired a good bit as well as dry fired a bunch. I have read mixed reviews on the the spring kits and decided that I do not want to change the main spring. Wolff claims the factory spring is 18 lbs and the have...

Wow, is all I can say.... REVOLVER SPEED RELOAD RECORD! 16 rounds in 4 seconds on slow mo! S&W 929 Jerry Miculek - YouTube

Has anyone used the UMC in a shield 9mm? I have an opportunity to pick up a 1000 round bulk pack but dont want to have that much ammo if it doesn't run well.

While shooting my Shield 9 today I pulled the trigger and click, no bang. The ejected shell had a hit on the primer but the dent was not as deep as the other fired cases. I loaded the shell back into the gun and it fired. The ammo was PMC bronze. i have 400-500 rounds through the gun and this...

I am still real new to handguns and not to sure about LRN ammo vs FMJ. I am a little odd that I am not a carry often shoot little person with my 642, I find it is a ton of fun to shoot. The problem is that ammo for the 38 is expensive and the FMJ prices are about 50 cents a round compared to...

Its official, three boxes down the pipe I love shooting the little revolver!!! Some friends told me I would be lucky to hit the target at 10 yards. So this is the picture I sent them showing what the 3rd box of ammo looked like.:D

I have taken my new 642 to the range twice and had the action lock up on me 3 times. The first 2 times I had no clue what was up and was quite concerned. The last time I slowed down I looked things over carefully and found that the cylinder was locked in the frame but the ejector rod was not...

I have a 642 on the way and wanted to get some ammo. I am looking to get range stuff but dont know what to look for or what to stay away from. It sees as if I could get American Eagle, Winchester white box, or Blazer brass. Also if I were to start reloading does one of them have a better...

I saw a 642 no lock at the local store, went back to buy it and it was sold!! The sales person said let me check in back and came out with a box I was excited... Opened the box and it was the lock model. I probably shouldn't care but I dont want to have regrets down the road.
