    45 Shield, 2.0 or not?

    How do I tell if 45 Shield is a 2.0 or not? It doesn't have a safety if that matters. Kenny

    .41 Magnum vs .44 Magnum

    Is there really much difference between the .41 Magnum and the .429 Magnum as far as "power" goes? I don't have a 4" M-29 to compare it with my M-58. Is there a noticeable difference or not much??

    My second favorite .357 Magnum

    My second favorite .357 Magnum. My Model 640-1 shipped April 12, 1995. I swapped the factory rubber combat grips for these beautiful S&W Goncalo Alves Combat grips. It was my EDC for 6 years. When I carry it today its in my Galco shoulder holster. This was the very first gun I...

    My favorite .357 Magnum

    I've shared this before and I'm sharing it again. :D Good morning. My Model 27, 6.5" barrel wearing Coke Bottle Stocks that was shipped March 11, 1960. This just my own opinion but this is the epitome of .357 Magnums. ;)

    I got my M642-1 back today from the UHP today.

    Back on Feb 27th I had a seizure coming home from work and drove my truck and camper off the road totaling both of them. :( At some point the investigating Trooper took my handgun. I literally don't remember anything, not even the ride in the helicopter. After a few attempts to go get...

    From ten 27s down to two.

    Shipped 3/11/60, my 6.5" M27. This one's my favorite and I have no idea why. ;) For me this is the epitome of .357 Magnums. And my 5" M27-2 shipped 9/4/75. Its beautiful and carries a lot of sentimental value. I've had a few that monetarily were worth a lot more than either one of...

    I lettered my Model 640-1.

    Model 640-1, .357 Magnum. This is how it came to me. This is the first handgun I ever purchased. Not the first one I've owned, just the first one I purchased. I bought it from my brother back on May 11, 2008 with my stimulus money. :D I'm pretty sure that's what they wanted us to spend it...

    Bought a new project.

    I bought this 1976 Ford F-250 last week from a good friend. Its ben sitting on his property for 19 years. He'd start it and drive it a short distance maybe once a year. I took the brush guard off and had to replace one side of the grill that was busted. I bought new tires and cleaned...

    Feeding problem with ammo

    A close friend and I both bought several boxes of 45 ACP from Western Montana Technical. We shot about 250 rounds today in three different guns. My full size M&P, my Shield 45 and my friends Performance Center Shield 45. All three would jam when feeding the next round. Not just once but at...

    Took the Shield 45 to the range today.

    With the first shot I eliminated the hostage situation. :rolleyes: :D All I took today were my two M&P 45s, my Shield and full size 45. We had a few different targets to shoot at. We had a good time and I really need to spend more time here. :rolleyes:
