Saw one for sale today and am inquiring because, with a 10-round magazine, my pinky rests near the floorplate. I'm wondering if the 10-round mag is too small for such an extension for me?

I'd like to get your impressions. Thanks.

A friend just got his carry license and has asked me to recommend a small, simple handgun. Given the fact that he needs to learn how to shoot and practice regularly, I thought he should start out with the new S&W Model 36 that came out, rather than complicate things for him and eliminate him...

Anyone ever buy a handgun without having handled it? I just came from my range where some of the guys were divided on the topic. Personally, I couldn't do it. Could you?

Curious as to what you guys think. I don't have any "safe queens" and I use every gun I own, even if it's only once in awhile. So, I've always disliked the narrow, ridged trigger on some J-frames because it eventually ends up giving me a sore finger. I have a J-frame trigger, I believe the...

Kinda interested in the above but have a Sig P365X. Anyone own both and can compare for me? Thank you.

Are there different crane screws for the various years that the model 36 was made? I understand the crane screw secures the cylinder, etc., to the frame, but there must be more to know - can someone educate me? Thank you.

I hope this question is in the right Forum. I like both and my collection reflects that but I still feel more secure about my revolvers than I do with any semi-auto I own. I carry either depending on my mood but when the SHTF it's the revolver that will go bang every time. Does anyway...

So, with a lot of patience and careful examination and questioning of several sellers, I found and bought this 1972 Model 36. I'd rate it as about 98% and I'm so pleased to have it. Have a look at my photos - and thanks to everyone for weighing in on my previous post about looking for this!

Greetings All - A long, long time ago, in a far, far away place, Smith & Wesson put serial numbers on revolvers. They were easy to look up the year then, but sometime after than they added a letter in the middle of a serial number, such as 62JXXX, or 19KXXX. How does one date these...

I've been looking for months for the above. It doesn't have to be unfired and I don't expect it to be. I just want nice, original, unmolested bluing. I check here regularly as well as Gunbroker. Nothing. Are they really that scarce? Mods: This is NOT a wanted to buy ad. I'm just...

First target today at 21 feet. 50 rounds. Flawless.

I have the past 3 Standard Catalogs. Do you guys keep them when a new one comes out or do you give the older ones away. Personally, I keep mine for reference purposes.

Thinking of picking one up despite my predilection for going on Gunbroker and finding an old one in excellent shape. If you have bought the new, blue 36, please tell me how you like it? Thank you.

Why make it right when you can just color it?

About 3 weeks ago, my BG 2.0 totally crapped out. The trigger could be pulled all the way to the stop without engaging the firing mechanism. The slide locked 3 times with a live round in the chamber. I've been through 4 recoil springs/guide rods, and so many other problems I'm probably...

Re: 442-1 Trigger Poundage - Does anyone know the exact poundage of the 442-1 trigger straight out of the factory? Thanks -

Does anyone here have a name and address for the CEO or Director of Operations for Smith & Wesson? I feel compelled to write a letter. Thanks for your help. Rich

Yesterday at the range I had, for the first time, 3 light strikes with ignition (Ammo was Blazer 95gr round nose .380). I assumed it was the ammo and perhaps it was; I don't usually like Blazer because of the aluminum cases. Went back to the range today and tried Aguila ammo (.380, 95gr...

At 21 feet, this is the result.
