(Sold, please close.) Hi folks, I had some ‘hats’ printed up to replace the missing trigger guard inserts for my 80s-vintage boxes. There are a few leftovers that I’d like to make available to the community at cost. Original thread...

Hi folks, My 617 was deeply in need of a spring upgrade, with the stock Double Action pull maxing out my poor scale (guessing 14-15#) and Single Action at almost 6 pounds. Not good for precision shooting ! Here are a bunch of pics to hopefully convince someone to try a spring swap of their...

Hi folks, This one is for the contributing members; if you’re not one, please consider supporting this forum! It’s a great place. Up for Karma is a new in package Crossfire convertible holster, “The Alaskan.” It is fully ambidextrous, and for Medium Frame revolvers in 3” but would likely do...

Hi folks, I recently came across this beautiful 66 no-dash, and was reminded of a time gone by. It appears to have been engraved as a trophy for a shooting competition, sponsored by a BANK! I believe the gentleman who won was an Indiana LEO, and he won at least two years in a row; I...

Hi folks, It took almost 7 years from the time I started actively looking until today; I finally received the last missing Square Butt Model 60 left of which I’m aware, the 1-of-171 3-inch HB 60-1 made up of leftover 1972 frames and shipped in 1978. This is R56990 for those who track such...

Hi folks, Spring is new Hat Season here, time to get some for my S&Ws. What hats? The little hats in the boxes that get lost during handling! Some call them thimbles, some call them inserts, in this thread we will call them hats until corrected by the experts. I was missing a few hats, in...

Hi folks, With the blessing of Handejector, I’d like to offer for auction a copy of the scarce Armorer Manual for 1-3 gen semi-auto pistols. All funds received will go to the forum, I will ship the manual to the winner on my dime. Here’s what you’re getting: The auction will run from...

Hi folks, Snuck off to the range again with member Shutthefrontdoor, I brought a couple of M52-2s and a 686PC, he showed up with a group of 952s and an ultra-rare 686 CS-3 to enjoy. We did some ransom rest testing at 18 yards, 54 feet, and the M52 we chose did nicely. We then shot some...

Hi folks, As some of you know, I have a soft spot for orphaned stainless guns. The missus would say that soft spot is in my head, but I digress… I came across a pitiful Ashland Distributors 66-2 3-inch (AHL4***) at auction, and was surprised that my low bid was enough to land it. When it...

Hi folks, Went to the range with member Shutthefrontdoor, and broke out the new-to-me Ransom Rest for some shakedown shots. I had a few 3rd gens that needed excercising, he brought some fancy iron. As this was more about testing the new base and hardware, we didn’t shoot enough strings for...

Hi folks, I recently acquired a long-sought 686-3 PC Competitor, and would like some info from the experts, please. The gun arrived with the weight set you see; two weights and one spacer. Is that the full compliment of parts with which it shipped, or were there more of each? Thanks...

Hi folks, Did a trade with member cherrypointmarine, and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Great communication and timely shipping, all-around nice guy. Trade with confidence.

Hi folks, Some of the late 90’s revolvers in the safe that were factory-equipped with Hogue grips were showing some corrosion. I checked the rest and found 4 sets that needed replacement. I reached out to Hogue customer service with a request to purchase the replacement hardware, and the...

Hi folks, I acquired these grips, thinking they were for S&W, based on the 2 other Smith grips in the lot. They are not ! :D These seem to fit a Colt I/E (Python, others) and bear no maker mark inside. A number 13, ink-stamped just inside of the thumbrest, is the only identifier I could find...

Withdrawn, please close.

Hi folks, I just acquired a long-sought 1066, thanks to a member here. Upon comparing it to the big-brother 1006, it became apparent that its slide release was substantially longer than the same part on the larger gun. Were extended releases available on the aftermarket for 3rd gens? All...

Hi folks, Had a transaction with member Super Trucker recently. He was prompt, communicative, and accurate in the item descriptions. I would deal with again, without hesitation. A+++

Hi folks, As per the title, I am searching for one of the early Performance Center blue plastic clamshell cases. Please let me know if you have one available, I have excellent trade fodder (grips, parts, barrels, cases, holsters, etc.) or the ever-popular cash. Thanks for looking !

Hi folks, A small supply of this ammo popped up in our circle, and I was offered some because of known M52 ownership. I passed, but it got me thinking if there was any use beyond a very scarce 52-A? I’ve seen some Colts that chambered the round as well, but is there any way to use it in the...

Hi folks, Had a transaction with member sndbggr1484 and it couldn’t have gone more smoothly. Please trade with confidence. A+++
