Greetings, My Airweight spends most of its time in my pocket or IWB. I just noticed the rubber is pulling loose from the nylon/plastic grip frame. Any recommendations on proper adhesive to resecure them with? I really do like these stock rubber grips. Just a fantastic effective grip on...

A co-worker recently sold an excellent condition 1976 3" 36-1 to a large local gun store as part of a trade. He did receive an almost fair price. It was offered to me first but I passed as I just didn't have a passion for it. When offered to me he said he had the box but never could produce...

Acquired a large amount of 38 spl ammo as a gift from a very generous co-worker. Assorted bullets including +P. Had a gas blasting away with my 10-6 and 10-8. But when it came to single action "precision" shooting I was reminded of the difference between these two Model 10's of mine. The...

Greetings, A dear lifelong friend has forwarded me pictures of a friend's revolver he wanted me to assess for him. I was expecting an old 38 but what the pictures show is a strange looking "S&W" emblem on the stocks and frame. Likewise, there is a stamp on metal "SPAIN". Sooo, is this a...

Pictured is a 1980 17-4 that my best friend can acquire for $700. He has inspected it thoroughly and the condition exceeds this picture. No real finish wear at all. Another friend of his is offering it at $700 after it failed to go for $850 on GB. I have told my good friend that he is not...

Relaxing on my patio last evening and a call from Idaho comes through. And it is Craig Spegel! I honestly don't remember how many years it's been since I called him with my interest in boot grips for my 442. Well, now I'm up near the top of the list and I oughta have a nice Christmas present...

Greetings, One of my Model 10's is a dash 6 with only holster wear. It even has original stocks in excellent condition. Now that I occasionally scrounge for kindling in the woods behind my subdivision home (North GA), this revolver is screaming to be on my belt. After all, there are...

I'm coming clean on this. My collection consists primarily of high condition pre-80's and I shoot them. I'm meticulous about not exacerbating cylinder turn lines by always carefully closing the cylinder onto a notch. So as far as observable wear, on many of my revolvers the only evidence...

I'm a 60 year old longtime collector and mostly gun range shooter. Many years ago I lived out west and would openly carry while on the range or in the forest. Now I want to make sure I have a good quality 1.5" leather gun belt should I wish/need to carry in OWB holsters. Could be anything...

A testament to a fixed sight 4" barreled S&W from 1978 Hits POA at about 12 or 13 yds. I've a 1965 10-6 almost as good. As for the other targets, it's full disclosure of the good the bad and the average off hand at this distance for me. The grip adapter, BK's, on the magna's just held the...

Curiosity got the best of me so I bought a big spray jug of Ballistol. I'm almost 59 and I've used Hoppe's No. 9 and BreakFree CLP for as long as I can remember. But I'm gonna give Ballistol a shot on some shooters/EDC. After only wiping down, and lubing ejector rod, it seems like it has...

None of the guns. Presents were the two BK grip adapters, 25 RIMZ moon clips, and all the ammo. Can't say enough good regarding the BK grip adapters. I'm confident they'll help my shooting. As for the RIMZ, I decided to go that route when I saw the need for tool(s) with the steel moon clips...

Mentally brutal week but got an early break this afternoon. Took late 70's 28-2, 14-4 and a '65 10-6 to my nearby range. I'm 58 and have never been a great shot, but I'm getting out to shoot as often as I can now. While my hold needs lots of improvement, my eyes are pretty bad too. My best...

On Friday I ordered two pairs of BK Grip adapters. One for a 10-8 and another for a 4" 28-2 with magna's. Both shooters of mine. The arrived today!! And I'll post pictures after they're installed...which will not be until Christmas. I don't even get to open the package. Boy my wife has...

Sorry, April 1979. I was 19 at the time. My Dad would purchase some items from time to time, and I was buying NOS USGI M1 Carbine stocks that were unbelievable. Never seen anything so clean since then. Was rummaging through the old estate recently and found this old Shotgun News.

Not that this amounts to a hill of beans but it's the minutia like this that makes us break out our SCSW. I probably bought this 63 no dash in '86. The SN is listed as an '85. But why do you suppose it's not a dash 1 with an '85 date?

My late six inch 28-2 just came back from Springfield. I'd sent it in thinking a canted barrel/bent frame. Here's a picture of the target from their test firing. Other than the handgun printing good windage, is it shooting high or low? I just don't know what the point of aim relative to...

My wife had work after church and I'd done yard work yesterday so a range trip was guilt free. And with a box of PMC 357's only a couple bucks more than the range store's 38's, magnums it was. What was different about today's trip was that I shot from a rest. The results should surprise no...

I did Google the subject and saw that it's certainly not a new topic. Am referring to surface rust on the head of the stocks screw on my 442. It's my EDC and almost always is in a DeSantis in my front pocket, whether cargo shorts, jeans, or dress slacks. This revolver is otherwise in great...

While I'm fortunate enough to have multiple Smiths and USGI M1 carbines, these are four that are usually loaded and get the most range time. 1944 IBM and Underwood manufacture. 1978 10-8 and 1965 10-6 (w/ numbered grips).
