Looks like the Supreme Court denied Revell's petition for a writ of certiorari today. This is a fairly bad result since it pretty much leaves us with the position that we can never take possession of firearms at an airport until we reach a legal destination. In essence, Revell was delayed in...

Yes, except for 22s - see this link at Smith & Wesson: FAQs - Smith & Wesson

With Clint you not only get Dirty Harry (S&W 29) and Unforgiven (S&W Schofield), but you also get the S&W 627 "Bloodwork". And how about that Model 66 in Tightrope? I'm sure there are a lot more, but these are the ones that come to mind. The only thing is, I don't remember him using S&W autos...

A great gun; shoots well and handles nicely. I did have a problem with end shake on the cylinder. I used to shoot a box of 357 magnums about every other month since this was my carry gun before I switched to an automatic. I used 125g JHP. Smith & Wesson repaired the gun and the gunsmith...

I'd be interested but the batch of Starline Brass I have now has quite a few loads left in it, have to wear them out first. Not only am I not dead, I don't feel old either!

Thanks for the follow up. Looks like this load is pretty close to what you guessed in your original post (894FPS). Based on your velocities I think I'll step up my next batch to a little higher load. What type of primers are you using?

Did you ever get the results? I was wondering if I should step up my load a little to what your using. Thanks for any info.

The only true rights are rights recognized by judges, not by the constitution. It is easy to forget that five people, unelected and serving for life, can override the constitution any time they choose to. That is why it is very important to ensure that appropriate judges are appointed to our...

Got a kick out of S&W web site for the SD, they finally got it right! They called the 10 round version "Low Capacity" and the 16 round (9MM) and 14 round (40S&W) guns "Std Capacity". If only the media would get it right now.

One side of my box has a standard hand written label with no indication of NYSP. The other side of the box has a printed label marked "5200014051" and "357 NYSP 4IN". The gun is unmarked and NIB.

I think the best solution is for you to buy an old S&W lend lease gun in 38 S&W and start loading it yourself. There are also some decent S&W top breaks, and quite a few old Enfields for under $300.

I'm loading all my 455 Webley on the single stage using the #5 Lee shell holder. I thought it would be nice to load some on my progressive press, but Hornady does not have a shell plate for 455 Webley. In looking at the other cartridges shown for the #5 shell holder in my Lee kit, I noticed...

I'm shooting it out of a Springfield 1911 with a stock recoil spring and 5" barrel. I do not shoot action pistol, only paper targets; they may not have enough go to knock down steel. Remember that this is for a Berry's bullet, and that Berry's suggests using lead data. The Accurate data is...

I'm using 5.5g of AA#7 with a Berry's 147g RN. I did not have great luck with accuracy with +6g loads. This load is fairly accurate, and so far has had enough in it to cycle the slides on everything I used. You might want to try a few rounds down at this level just to see if it works for you...

I didn't notice it, it just sorta happened; one day I became a pistol man. A lot has to do with the available alternatives. When I was younger, you didn't have much choice in carry autos. Now, there are not just a few, but a number of good choices that combine small size, shootability, and...

Disappointed, but not surprised. I thought it was coming as soon as they brought out the M&P poly frame guns.

One more vote for a 22lr. A 617 or any good used revolver you can find. Money is tight in college and you can sure shoot a lot more with the Wal-Mart 375 or 550 packs.

None of my collectible blued S&W guns go into "long term storage". They are far to valuable to me to risk any kind of rust. Why not just pull them out once in a while to check on them and enjoy them. Even the most diligent storage process might have left a fingerprint or small area of...

Here are pics of a 6906 and 3913, both seem more silver then yours. The 6906 is a carry gun with lots of use, and the 3913 mostly sits in the safe. Both look similar.
