Bought a Model 60 round butt for the wife long ago and she has never liked it. Even with light loads. In her defense, she is little! 5 foot, 100 lbs. shoots a Ruger Lcp and MK 2 easily but I would like for her to use the 38 for, just in case. Any grips out there which would help. We have tried...

I am leaving SE Texas tomorrow morning, crossing Oklahoma and will end up NW of Denver, Co. for a few days R&R. I have no LTC in Texas and do not plan to CC in Colorado but I do want to have personal protection in the vehicle and rooms along the way. Is there anyone in OK and CO that can clue me...

The junk mail, unsolicited requests for business from credit card companies, energy companies, charitable organizations and the like, usually come with a postage paid envelope. I will mix up the offers from different companies, black out any pertinent info or shred that part if right kind of...

I guess this is , for the most part, a question for the Texas folk but others may chime in if you want. The rules say that if you qualify with a revolver, you are only good to carry a revolver, but if you qualify with an auto(semi)you can carry either. But I can find no mention of caliber. Can...

I was recently given bare upper and lower Anderson receivers for birthday and Christmas presents (yeah, about this time last year). Already having a .223, Mini-14, I decided to build something different. Settled on a 6.5 Grendel due to .270 getting a little hard on the shoulder during a long day...

I would like some kind of explanation of the frame designations, AKA J,K,L,M,N. It's probably out there somewhere but I have done some searching and haven't come up with anything short and sweet. I'm not a big time collector as my collection consists of a Model 60(J) and a Pre-Victory (?). But...

I have been on this site for a couple years but not much posting, just looking. This time it is a little different! My dad was diagnosed about a month ago with Terminal liver cancer. He is 85 years old and since the diagnosis was terminal, He has decided the best thing for him to do is to die...

I know I haven't Logged in and done much posting since I became a member a few years ago but I'm in need of some divine intervention now and hoping the members here can put in a good word. A couple weeks ago my father, who is 83 yrs old,was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. His doctors...

Hey, Locolobo here. Haven't posted here in a while due to forgetting my password. That "save password" thing works great till you have to get a new computer. Lose all kinds of stuff then. Not a whole lot has happened in the meantime. A few acquisitions but none S&W. Father quit hunting @ age 83...

Local gun store has several model 10 38 specials for sale. Some thin barrel but most are heavy barrel. All are former service revolvers from a local PD. Not interested ( i think) in the light barrel guns but some of the heavy barrel guns are pinned and some are later, unpinned later models. All...

As I see it my pre-victory is not a really valuable firearm as millions were made and still in use. The finish has a medium case of surface rust due to being left on a closet shelf in a leather holster for the past 20 yrs. The bluing on the frame has complete coverage with almost no wear but the...

Just realized I had not formally introduced myself. I just walked in and started asking questions. I apologize for that. Locolobo 56 here. Older fella from S.E. Texas. Don't consider myself a gun nut but have played with them all my life. I also do not consider myself a collector but have...

Noobie here,Think I am in the right place for this. Have just aquired a 5 screw with 5" barrel in 38 S&W. and am interested in learning all I can about it. No pics as I do not have a digital camera ( Old fashioned, old fart ). Serial #943007 found on butt and back of cylinder.The condition is...

NEW member here, wanting to find out about this revolver. Just "inherited" what I believe to be an M&P from, probably, the 40s or 50s. It is a 5 screw, double action revolver with a 5" barrel and 38 S&W caliber. The serial # is 943007 as far as I can tell, they are sort of fuzzy even with 2 pair...
