Appreciate your comments. One observation - depending on the course of fire, I may be done shooting with rounds still in the mag when dropped and a bullet in the chamber. We pull the slide, jack the chambered round. With magazine safety I have to obtain an empty magazine, show it to the RO...

I have been shooting and competing in Action Pistol and Bullseye for years. I know the purpose of the magazine disconnect. For use in Action Pistol, having to swap in an unloaded mag and fire to clear the gun could lead to an unsafe situation while under pressure to fish out an unloaded mag with...

I started action pistol again and have begun using the 952. At the conclusion of shooting stage, range officer commands clearing the gun, then dry firing before reholster. The gun has a magazine disconnect so it won't clear fire without a magazine. That involves taking out an empty mag, showing...

Ultra dot for Smith 617 Having trouble focusing on the target and sights. Time for a red dot. I have dots on my 41 and HS Victor. I have an extra Ultra dot, 4 Dot with rings. Is there a mount you recommend and is it something that requires a visit to a gunsmith? The Ultradot is a great glass...

Got it for run and gun games and got away from the sport. Very lightly shot, 99% condition. I'm thinking of selling but have no idea what one would go for.

Smith mdl 28-2 Purchased new in 1969. A few hundred rounds through it, mostly .38s. S/N: N105--. Local shooter interested. Is there value as a collectable model or just a 50+ year old revolver?

What do the numbers after the dash mean?/

I'm thinking about getting a 617 with 6" barrel for target work. H Richard, does the Burris FastfireIII swap on and off easily with the open sights? I'm a little confused about the 617- x's. Are there different options besides bbl length and number of rounds in the cylinder in recent ones? This...

Sorry for the late reply. Been away from the forum for a long time. I have a Les Baer .38Super. Paid for the guaranteed group size and gun has extras with grip etching, flared magwell and custom sight. Center to center, 10 shot, 50 yard test target is a shade under .70". Smith 627 in Super never...

I didn't know another place to pose the question on the board, so putting it here. A friends' son, new to pistol shooting just bought a Beretta INOX 9mm. Does anyone know if the gun has a magazine safety that keeps the gun from firing when the mag is out of the gun? Thanks, PB

Would also swap my 3 mags for 2 comparable preban magazines.

Recent gun came with three post ban 15 round magazines not legal to shoot in NYS. They are original S@W mags, in great shape and appear lightly used. They will fit in Smith and Wesson models 59, 459, 659, 5906, 5903, 5904, 5943, 5946, 910, 915 and others. Will sell to residents of state where...

Upstate NY. My gunsmith, who is a retired sheriff told me that preban hi cap mags are legal in NYS, so I want to be sure the mags I purchased are in fact NYS legal and verifiable. I have other semi's, but wanted to be able to try shooting in unlimited division.

Is there a completely verifiable way to determine where hi cap magazines are pre ban or not? I purchased a few from a repurable site that advertises limited number of S&W pre ban mags and was assured on the phone when ordering that they were both original and preban. For legality purposes, is...

Anyone have a 952 and willing to share what they use for a good, accurate plated bullet and load? Thanks, PB

The Performance Center had my new 627 in .38 Super in for a 'checkup'. Smith and Wesson uses the Corbon 125 grain, jacketed bullet, .357 diameter for load testing and grouping and I'm trying to duplicate the Corbon load for my .38 Super. Anyone know what powder and amount Corbon uses for this...

Smith has come out with another limited run of 627's in .38Super. Mine is on the way to me but they come with garish, composite wooden grips. I'd like to put 1 piece Hogues on them, the same as my 625. Anyone know where to order the one piece Hogues, no finger groovers for a 627? I did a...

I found plenty of 'attitude' in the parochialist comment re where its being held instead of an attaboy for the club and volunteers who are giving up their 4th of July to set it up for a July 5th match. This is a match to benefit shooters and revolver enthusiasts. In the match site there are...

I'm sure that the match director and volunteers would be happy to have you run the match next year. Would it be OK if the match were held 30 miles east? Great attitude towards a match whose goal is to provide competition and enjoyment for shooters and to spread the popularity of revolver...

Pls excuse me if this is the incorrect section to post this notice. The NE Revolver Championship is being held this summer at Watervliet F&G, just outside of Albany,NY. Pls see this for details: http://www.icore.org/pdf/2009_...ional_Match_Info.pdf For application...
