    S&W Titanium Cylinder damage..***

    While I definately see the flame cutting at the face of the cylinder, what I don't see is the factory coating that is applied to all of the titanium cylinders. Have you "cleaned" it off? If so, you may have warranty issues. Swampy

    Snap, Crackle, Pop - Night Firing Exercise Disaster

    One missed point I think there is one good note to add to this. The gentleman in question had the common sense and decency to alert the range official and stop. He didn't attempt to continue with impaired vision and other senses. He may not have chosen the right gun and certainly did not...

    Bulk Ammo Purchases

    Maybe the reporter needed something sensational to add to a story that has been reported often already. Notice that the actual individual's name was not given, nor were they personally interviewed? Likely more yellow jounalistic sensationalism fabricated to sell the story. Most reporters now...

    Flying Ashtrays

    Back when I was a kid, I had a real foul mouth for an adolescent. I was constantly dodging flying ashtrays until Dad quit smoking.

    facty messup

    After the purchase of a M329PD, I opted for the Buffalo Bore "reduced recoil" load made specifically for that gun. I could only get through an average of three rounds before I would experience misfires. Inspection of the failed rounds showed what I thought was light strikes. Knowing that newer...

    629-4 Price Check?

    M629-4 "Classic" with Power Port 6.5" was my last Smith purchase two months ago. I found it at a gun show, used, but in overall good condition. Light wear, with box and original papers, including warranty card. I paid $525.00 plus transfer to local FFL and background check. The selling dealer...

    Sales tax at Smith & Wesson

    This explains alot, but doesn't cover the fact that when I order from Gander Mountain's website, I am not taxed even though there is a GM here in Jacksonville. Just wondering. I haven't asked for any money back, but if there is a tie to Florida through Smith & Wesson, does the state of Florida...

    Sales tax at Smith & Wesson

    I just ordered the M500 monogrip for a 629-4. I purchased it directly from Smith & Wesson through their website. My order includes sales tax. I am a bit confused. I thought that sales tax is not applied to interstate sales and purchases due to states fighting over who receives the revenue. Am I...

    Stupid Question from a Newbie

    Welcome to the forums Vistula, Be sure and tell your insecure buddy that Colt no longer makes revolvers and generally does not accept them for repairs. Your Smith has a well respected repair network in place. Colt is a fine gun, but give the Smith its credit. Gun prices are not necessarily...
