So.... My question today pertains to factory J frame combats, the bit older style that they don't make any more. I have a specific question but it got me to thinking I don't know the history behind them. I see people have them on J frame and K frames. I don't think I've ever seen Square butt...

OK, I'll try to keep this brief. I just like making a record of my thoughts so I know I get long sometimes. And I always like to hear thoughts from people as long as they aren't negative. I mean I realize I can shoot better. That's a given. But I'm working on it. So.. First thing, I...

Been feeling very 80's nostalgic lately and I was just wondering what people think the Smith revolver that ruled the 80's might be. I'm thinking a model 64, but would like to hear what everyone else has to say. Maybe a 686?

I think I'm going to order some for my 637. I have never tried them yet and wondering if they install and uninstall easily. I'm sure some of you can relate as I change grips around sometimes to see what works best and I don't want it to be a huge chore. I had issues with the larger set of...

Just curious. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a round but 15 or 67 in 2"..... Can't recall.

I'm trying to figure out what my next one should be..... Since I have a 442 with a broken hammer stud back at the factory right now. I'm hoping they replace it or give me an opportunity to pay more and get a steel model. Or trade up for one when I get it back. And not to be a killjoy but...

On my 442 I painted it white and that worked well. At least I think so. I think the contrast between the black rear and front white made the front sight way easier to see in lower light. Obviously outside during the day it's not a problem. But the stainless airweights seem like the sights...

You guys that have bobbed J frame hammers on your airweights. How did you achieve this? I went on apex tactical and they only seem to have them for K, N and L frames. No J. Unless I'm missing something. I guess I should qualify this with I'm curious for the newer style frames. I might...

Sooooo.... While my 442 is back at the mothership I decided I couldn't live without a carry j frame and found one at the gun store 5 minutes from my house. I paid $350. Maybe that's high, but around here it doesn't seem like it. It's dated 2017. First I'll say the things I don't like...

Sold elsewhere. I would like to trade a Springfield Armory XD .45 Tactical 5" for a J frame. FTF only I'm thinking. I'm in SE Wisconsin. Comes with 3 - 13 round mags and the holster, loader and holster carrier as shown Looking for Airweights or steel framed J frames. .38 special / .357...

just curious. might be able to trade into one

I was at an LGS yesterday and they had a 3" and 6" 686+. Brand new. Both were very nice and I could not see a seem on the muzzle indicating a 2 piece barrel. Is this always the case with 686's? Or was I just not seeing it?

So..... I have 3 revolvers and I'm not necessarily a newb but I feel like I still have a lot to learn. 442, Colt DS, and a Model 19. So.. both of the snubbies seem to hit their primers off center. I have not really looked at the Model 19's real closely but I will next time I shoot it...

LGS has a 637-2 DJN62XX for 350. I have an XD Tactical with 3 mags, 14 rounders. It's a nice gun but it's huge and I need a carry gun more than I need a big gun. The 637 seems like it's relatively unscathed. I see some leading or junk in the barrel, but nothing crazy. Just a bit dirty. I...

My Step Dad was a California Highway Patrolman in the late 60 s early 70's. Some of you know all this already but I'm just briefly giving an overview. He was from what my step brother tells me a traffic cop and also worked as an engineer on a project for steam engined powered patrol cars. Or...

I would like to see how much difference there is. I've been carrying my HiPower lately AIWB and I'd like to see if the dimensions are even close because I may have an opportunity to get a 10-5 tapered barrel 4". Trying to find a good carry gun while my 442 is at the mother ship. I so...

I did this exact same thread on arfcom, so if you are members over there, I apologize. But there are a lot of guys here that aren't over there and I'm wanting to hear their thoughts as well. So... I'm just wondering, does stainless have typically a smoother finish for triggers to be better...

Serial number is 5D891XX (I think there was only two more numbers. The person wanting to trade me blanked it out. Maybe three x's for all I know. I could ask. But maybe you guys know) Somebody wants me to trade a 4" model 10-7 in pretty darned good shape for my Model 19, 6" er. I'm not...

OK, so while my 442 is at the mother ship getting the busted hammer stud sorted out, I'm kind of wanting a j frame while I wait. Then I'll have another one as a BUG. But the dilemma is if they give me an option to upgrade to a steel j frame I'd rather spend the money there. But then again...

The midway youtube vid says there should be for and aft movement of the cylinder. Well, I was at a gunstore today and it had a few nice smiths. I checked out a 15-4 and 10-5. Both were ones I would've liked to own. They also had a 15 with bone stocks for 1500 bucks. I was like waaaa? But...
