TALO Model 586-L Comp So what would be the differences between a TALO gun and a "regular" 586-L Comp, if anyone knows?

Bonephish, thanks for your response and for your service to our country! From your post, there's no difference in the triggers, for example? I have the M&P .45 compact and was seriously thinking about the .45 Shield, but it's not worth the $$ just for a .7" shorter barrel and one fewer round...

I have a question that I'm sure I'll get good info on! I have an M&P .45 ACP, and I'd like to know what the difference is between it and the M&P Shield .45. Is it just the barrel length and capacity and things like the slide serrations? And aren't the M&P Shield .45 and the Shield .45 the...

Ruger LCR I sometimes carry a Ruger LCR with Hornady Critical Defense .357 loads, but I'm one of those guys who thinks it's a terrible .357, but a great .38 Special! Having said that, the Hornady rounds are much more controllable than hotter loads (duh!). I also have a Taurus Tracker .44 mag...

Howdy! I've owned a .500 mag for several years that I bought new (8 3/8" barrel). The S&W website says it has an interchangeable front sight, but, for the life of me, I don't see how, unless maybe a gunsmith removes the front sight and installs a new one? I also have a .460 with the hi-vis...

Hi All, I've had a blued model 29-3 with scope cuts (so obviously it has the 8 3/8" barrel) for several years. I don't have the rings for it, although I do have a scope from a previous model 29. For some reason I thought all the long-barreled 29-3s had scope cuts till I saw otherwise...

Good Info! Thanks to both of you - that's good info. I've also read a lot about the triggers on the BG .380 being lousy. As I said, I haven't fired mine yet, but dry-firing it a couple of times when I first got it didn't tell me much, except it seems to have the long trigger pull so common to...

Hi All, I've not been able to get this question answered; hopefully someone here will be able to. I just bought a Bodyguard .380 with the CT laser built-in. Just took possession of it Tuesday afternoon in fact, so I haven't fired it yet. My question is this: everything I read about the first...

I have the M&P .45 ACP that I actually bought because of everyone talking about how comfortable it is and how well it points ... and it's all true! Also, I have a Sig P250 in .45 ACP. I must admit I bought it only cuz is was pretty inexpensive for a Sig! Turned out to be a terrific gun. I...

Howdy! I'm thinking of getting a .38 Super, but I've been reading about problems some people have had with reloading the brass - comments like only buy this brand or that, or only load hot rounds in brand-new cases and use previously-fired ones for plinking. Sounds like way more trouble than...

I'm seeing more & more Model 29-2s for sale that state they have a 6" barrel. My understanding has always been that the 29-3 was the first one to have the 6" (along with the P&R barrel and countersunk cylinder being done away with), and that the 29-2 had 6 1/2" (or 4" or 8 3/8", of course)...

Light Special Load vs Special Light Load Don't mean to be pickin' nits here, but I always thought "light special" load conveyed a whole different meaning than "special light" load. Light special load to me meant a .44 special loaded even lighter than it normally was, which was already light...

I'd be interested if you have a pair to sell. They don't have to be brand-new as long as they're in good shape ...

Sorry - wrongo! The director of Dirty Harry was Don Siegel; not John Milius. Milius was a screenwriter who supposedly did a lot of work on the script but got no screen credit. According to the story, this was why he later was given the .44 by Warner Bros - in appreciation. I say...

I Asked S&W Historian Roy Jenks ... A few years ago I e-mailed Roy Jenks - the longtime S&W historian - about the first Dirty Harry movie, since I'd read so much about it being a .41 mag, the barrel length, and so on. He replied that Clint did sometimes hold a .44 mag with the 8 3/8" barrel...

I've had my 500 since March '08 (SKU #163500), and I've never been able to get the front sight off. I've asked S&W's Customer Service people about it and they just say it will come off by pushing back on it and pulling up, which works fine on my 460 but doesn't budge the sight on the 500. I've...
