    When will we see a no lock 29, 629?

    He's referring to new ones. I would imagine at least a year. Since they have begun they must know people prefer the no-lock configuration. Having those on the market simultaneously with lock guns would, I imagine, slaughter the value of the IL inventory still out there. Slowly phasing in the...

    686 Mountain Gun question

    NORSEMAN, I was saying to unscrew the knob, NOT the rod. The knob unscrews left hand thread. If using pliers, pad the jaws so you don't mar the knurling. It was pretty tight. You can see the removed knob in the black tool in the picture is posted.

    686 Mountain Gun question

    Left hand. I just did mine. You need to work the knob at the end not the rod. The rod on the ball dent guns is smaller diameter than original design. I just found out the old clamp tools will grab the knob but not the rod.

    686 Mountain Gun question

    Unscrew the ejector rod. There are proper clamps for this as opposed to pliers.

    What was your first Smith and Wesson??

    686 no dash. $350 OTD, 2001, the day I got my pistol permit. Still have it.

    Keg of old powder

    Oh wow! A whole barrel of old mystery exothermic reaction powder! More seriously speaking, I wouldn't try to run that. Even if you get a positive ID, who knows what condition it's really in.

    Brian Pearce on the history of the Mountain Gun

    Interesting how he went from the Model 1950 target and 1955 44 Magnum directly to the 1988 Mountain Revolver, with no mention of the 24-3/624 44SPL reintroduction. I would assume this where Tom Campbell got the stainless 4” tapered barrel for pairing with a 44 Mag cylinder to make the 44...

    Magnum Revolvers With Red Dots

    Now that I'm not a kid any more, I find eliminating the third focal plane makes life a bit easier. I'm surprised I dont have more of these.

    8 3/8” love

    Nice project! Barrel to cylinder gap has a lot to do with achieved velocity.

    8 3/8” love

    The Joker makes an in-the-waistband holster, as seen in the 1989 Batman when he shot down the bat wing, if you want something a little more practical :)

    Mine is perfect. Shoots very well. Also bought the 617 and 686. No real issues. 617 has some FTF's.

    Post your Culina grip photos here!

    Gorgeous! Harlow retired recently, didn't he? Who are trusted craftsmen for checkering these days? The work above is going to be tough to match.

    New 686-7 Mountain Gun Trigger Coating Peeling!

    Wow! I'm surprised they sent you the part as opposed to making you send them the gun. That's great to see.

    My only model 29

    I remember 20 years ago when I thought $800 for a used high condition 29-2 in the clam shell presentation box with tools and paper work was nuts....turns out I was nuts....

    My experience & opinion as to costs of reloading now days.

    Reloading would have to be several times the cost of commercial ammo just to get me to slow down.

    New Smith DA triggers better?

    Completely agree. I have a few new ones that are shockingly smooth. Best in my collection is a 5" 629-6. Bought it used, unfired in the box, for $475! I have several early to late P&R guns. Nonetheless, the new guns done have the watch-like gentle clicks of an S-prefix when you draw the...

    Accurate No.11FS

    Has anyone tried this stuff? Is flash suppressant even noticeable and typical length handgun barrels as opposed to carbine length? If you have used it, is it as fine as AA#9?
