Taking the lead from the "spare grips" thread, I thought I would ask a similar question, yet really about all the carry gear, not just holsters. How do you store/display your carry gear? I have a number of pairs of leather holsters, one black and one natural or cordovan. I store each of those...

Now the proud owner of a S&W 30-1, 32 S&W Long, pinned barrel, serial # 777---. The bluing is 90+%, I figure, and no real wear on the grips, pretty much a collectible. Sobering prices being asked for these, but any nice Smith is at least a $700 proposition. I have one more die coming on...

In my first pass at loading 32 H&R Magnum I found that my Lee case-activated powder drop did not have the ability to do loads much below 5 grains on many common powders. I went to mounting a Hornady powder measure on my Lee turret and did okay, but it has since occurred to me that I might simply...

Got some new grips from Altamont (their SMED-1) to replace the rubber that came with the used gun. I had a false start with another grip that wasn't suited to J-Magnum ejected cartridge clearance. Even these will stop one case, but it can be dropped by moving the cylinder. We'll see. Pretty...

Having recently acquired a model 60-10, I learned that some fancy grips will not allow the 357 case length to eject from a J-frame. I struggled at the range yesterday and now have the rubber back on that came with the gun. I ordered a set from Altamont and hope they will work...

I have tried the Hogue nylon combats for J-frame on my Model 60 Pro Series and like the feel and recoil control they provide. The combat grip also fills in behind the trigger guard and does more to fill the palm. The nylon material is better for carry than rubber combats because it isn't tacky...

I would welcome some help thinking this through. I would like to get stronger, easier to see night sights on my 60 Pro. I have seen references to this as a recognized problem with this model. Should I expect S&W to actually do something about it, or do I just need advice on which sights to use...

walnut square butt from gungripsupply.com:

Seriously?? An eBay banner ad on a gun forum?

Thought I would share that I now have (6) guns in the shop to have the ILS removed and The Plug installed, (4) N-frame and (2) J-frame. They are all keepers, so I am making the investment. I didn't feel qualified as an armorer to do it myself and was glad to pay to have it done. YMMV As a...

Excellent condition, no dings or scratches, $560

Gun has only been fired one box of 100. Recently back from S&W to relieve cylinder cramp when warm. Gun functions perfectly. Bead blast finish throughout. S&W box (no label), paperwork. Fair price but no steal. Will accept $750. Serial# series CCJ.

Can't believe it. I actually received one of my grip orders from the Smith & Wesson shopping site's blackhole today. Maybe there's hope. I know others mentioned waiting extended periods.

Better pictures to follow than this GB pic. Yes, I own plenty of ammo.

Have acquired a 67-1 that clearly has seen some service but is not beat up. I like it already. I haven't shot it because a) the gunsmith hasn't stripped/cleaned it and checked it out yet, and b) the cylinder, when open, will clear the retainer bump thingy on the frame and come off the spindle. I...
