    Gen 2 Glock Thread

    I have every generation of the Glock 17 and this is my go to. I've found Gen 2 to be the most comfortable and the most nostalgic of all the generations. Although I will admit that the Gen 3 and Gen 4 19 & 26 feel significantly better than the Gen 2. But when it comes to full size Glocks I find...

    Need opinions on this warranty work

    I had to have my two month old 637 warranty serviced. The hammer was offset hard left causing the hammer to strike the frame, shearing off the aluminum, and causing permanent damage to the frame. After six weeks I've taken receipt of the pistol and they replaced the hammer, trigger, and...

    Pocket Wars - 637 vs 36

    So I’ve recently picked up the Model 36-11 from S&W. Great little revolver and it sits nicely next to my 637-2. After a couple weeks of carry I’ve began to feel my instincts urging me to move back to the 637. While the extra weight of the 36 handles Underwood wadcutters beautifully I’ve found...

    Preventing rust on a blue finish for carry?

    First off I’m asking this here simply because I believe this section is the most relevant to a time when this was very common. I recently acquired a new Model 36 and really want to carry it everywhere I go. I much prefer a steel J frame over the airweights and I have a major affinity for blued J...

    2025 Model 36-11 Review!

    The new model 36-11 is here and in my company. I’m not going to waste any words so I’ll just get right to it. Box The box is the usual blue hard case with foam padding. This case does not and did not support the pistol adequately during transit but luckily this did not harm the pistol. I would...

    Do I really need to completely de-lead the bore?

    I took my 10-9 out today and fired a box of LRN from PPU. The leading today was quite substantial, a lot more than I’m used to. I got home and scrubbed the ever loving mother out of the bore with CLP and a brass brush. That was a lot of lead that came out. Point is, would yall think it’s...

    Just ordered the new 36-11 again

    After a bad first impression on release I’ve decided to make another go at it. Total after transfer will be $750. The pistol will be accepted for transfer regardless of what arrives and if I have to send it back for repair or any other reason I will provide updates. Wish me luck…

    .32 Long Hand Ejector - Did I Get Hosed?

    I don’t wanna say how much I paid for this but despite the patina this piece literally functions and locks like it’s brand new. I’ll reveal what I paid later but I just want to know what kind of price I should have paid for it. Thanks frens. Serial #353xx

    Newer smiths - Better In Some Ways?

    Alright hold your horses folks, this may be spicy. First and foremost there is no doubt that an older smith is going to look better than anything made today, especially a blue. I also want to be clear that I am in no way dismissing the fact that many newer smiths suffer from greater QC issues...

    New 637-2 in place of my 442

    I just bought this new 637-2 to run in place of my 442 while it's in for warranty. Granted, when I bought the 442 I never really verified it for cylinder gap or end shake. I've been really wanting a 637 airweight ever since I got the 442 so I figured now is a great time while the 442 is being...

    442-2 Endshake and ejector rod trouble

    I bought a 442-2 a year ago, probably today, and have put maybe 100 rounds through it and probably three times that in dry fire. I was inspecting the firearm and measuring gap/endshake and found the standard gap to measure at .007" with an expansion to .011" when lightly pulling back on the...

    The Model 10 - Why the bull barrel?

    I have a Model 10-9 made September 1991. Pic attached. I absolutely love this wheel. The 10-9 is well balanced, accurate, and reliable. Although, whenever I see discussions about the 10 I always seem to notice a general preference for the bull barrel. Why is that? What does the bull barrel offer...
