    Simple is Good

    So I headed out to the range today with my cosmetically challenged 10-6 and my 6" 28-2. I was dropping the steel plates with my 38 reloads thru the 10 while struggling to do the same with 357s in the 28. I do have a bit of a flinch with the 357 truth be told - but you can definitely tell when...

    Pinned, HB Model 10-6

    So I bit and bought one of the recent Bud's Model 10s they have advertised for $269. I got it in about 10 days ago. The finish is about 50-60% with significant surface rust underneath the crappy rubber euro grips that were on it. I chunked those ASAP! The side plate is beat to hell and...

    So, how did I do?

    It was one of those days....I wasn't looking for something but this fell in my lap. I traded straight across a 3rd Gen G19 w/6 yr old NS (6 mags) & Sigarms Trailside 6" target model (3 mags) for a 95% 1975 3rd Gen Colt Detective Special in 38 Special. I'd say no more than 100rds thru the Colt...

    629-6 frame wear due to hammer impact

    I picked up a new 4" 629-6 a few months ago as I got bit by the bigbore bug and am really enjoying shooting some of my home-brewed 44 S&W Specials thru it. In the course of handling and firing the revolver, I've noticed that the hammer impacts the frame just below and left of the firing pin. I...

    So....I'm waiting for the "Magnum" in .357 Magnum

    Ladies and Gents, I've owned and reloaded for a 6" Model 28-2 the past two years. In an attempt to minimize the battering to this revolver while attempting to keep performance up, I've limited myself to 158gr plated bullets from Xtreme and powders like 2400 and IMR4227. I've read the posts...

    357 158 gr bullet velocity swings with 2400?

    All, I was just out shooting my 6" M28-2 with a load of 15.0 grains of Alliant 2400 on top of a CCI 500. Bullet is an Xtreme 158 gr. hollowpoint. I was getting velocity swings from 1100 fps to 1300+ fps. The average was around 1200 fps. Just wondering if someone out there has had this...

    28-2 Conundrum

    First of all, I'd like to say hello and thanks in advance for any opinions I get. So to the question of the day... I purchased a beautiful N48XXX 6" 28-2 last September. It had a bit of a barrel gap so I returned it to S&W to have the barrel turned back a thread and the gap closed. After ~ 7...
