    My gunshow BOOTY

    I would think it is part of the Schrade Walden family of knives. Some years ago, they changed the name to Schrade only and were the makers of the Old Timer and Uncle Henry brands. There is probably some info on bladeforums.com. They have a schrade collectors forum. And then there is this...

    Does Anyone Really Shoot-Practice Using Their Weak Hand/Side?

    I have days when I go to the range I call Lefty days. I will only shoot with my left hand on those days. I shoot mostly .22 LR but try to shoot some centerfire on those days. It is a challenge but I have found I get better with practice. Work on it and see if you don't get better over time.

    Nyclads...

    My 442 and 642 are both rated for plus P. I still try to practice with standard pressure loads though. I got both j frames used for 350 so if I break one, it won't be that big of a deal. I can't find anyone online that carries that Nyclad plus P load. I wonder if I should go buy up some more?

    Nyclads...

    Yep, I got one box right here with me. Federal Premium 38 special (+P) 125 gr. Nyclad Hollow point. The number on the bottom of the flap says P38N. Not sure if that is the load number or what.

    Nyclads...

    I got 100 rounds (2 fifty round boxes) of Federal Nyclad plus P (125 grain IIRC) for 44.00 at my local shop. They had a ton of them the other day.

    PPK What is the secret

    I was not happy with the amount of time they had my PPK. I let them know that in an e-mail correspondence and offered up the fact that the PPK had been around for dozens of years and they were managing to hose it up. I never got a response to that e-mail. My letter also said my feed ramp was...

    Federal Hydra-Shok?

    After reading BreakerDan's review of this ammo I was rather troubled as I bought a box of this and had it in the cylinders of both my 442 and 642. So I went to the range today and fired off all of them. Pathetic isn't the word. I could literally see the projectiles as they flew downrange...

    How does the hand spring fit on 442/642

    Got her put back together now. All seems well but I have a shooting session planned for early Monday morning to ensure it is all right. Many thanks to you sir for the help. The pics made all the difference. That spring is a bear to get installed.

    How does the hand spring fit on 442/642

    Okay, I got mad and wiggled that trigger off. Now I am gonna attempt to get the hand back on the trigger. I may be seeing light at the end of the tunnel.

    How does the hand spring fit on 442/642

    It's the wiggling the trigger off the stud part I am stuck at. It doesn't want to budge. Do I have to relieve the pressure of the trigger return spring to get the trigger and the part behind the trigger that encases the return spring out? Do these parts come out together? Gonna give it a...

    How does the hand spring fit on 442/642

    So trigger removal is pretty much mandatory? I don't see anyway of fishing that thing in with the trigger installed. If this is right, can you give me a guide on removing the trigger? I have removed just about everything else. Thanks for the help.

    How does the hand spring fit on 442/642

    Greetings and thanks in advance for any assistance. But how does the hand spring install in a Smith 442/642? I have one apart and can't figure out how that little spring goes back in. Any help/links would be appreciated.
