    model 342 & ????

    I have a 342PD that weighs 10.85 oz empty 13.15 oz loaded. It's a sweet carry gun and yes it has a little bite when shot, but not unbearable by any means. I typically shoot lighter loads for practice and then shoot a "carry load" (plus p) to refresh my brain and reflexes. There is a similar...

    M&P .22lr

    I took my new M&P22 pistol out today for its first run. I had cleaned it first about 2 weeks ago to have it ready for the first trip, so let the fun begin. I ran 200 rounds of CCI thru it without a single problem. I was very pleased with the accuracy and function and probably most exciting was...

    Parts (take down lever) for M&P22

    I recently bought a MP-22 and took a thin, very flat blade pocket knife (maybe called a gentlemens knive), put a piece of black electrical tape on the blade, then slowly worked the blade under the take down lever after turning it to 6:00. It worked fine for me, just tried to be patient and went...

    No new gun NO Ammo

    If General Motors was having trouble getting tires for the new cars they were wanting to sell, do you think they would sell tires from their warehouse to the used car market. I don't think so, other wise they would have a bunch of $40,000 paper weights. How can you expect a gun shop to sell you...

    How many 650's

    I've only seen 3 of the 650's before and 2 of the 3 are ours. I got my in 1985 along with the additional 22 LR cylinder, and my wife had one when we married. (I guess this means we were meant for each other!). I added a red ramp myself in the 80's just for fun, not sure if it really helps...

    Eagerly waiting for my 908 to get here! (Pictures added now)

    The wife has a 908 and we both like it. I agree the plastic guide rod is wimpy, and I also would like to replace it. Did you get the guide rod from S&W also. Approx what's the cost on replacement steel guide and spring?

    just picked up a pre lock 342PD

    I had a small local gunshop order me a 342PD in November of 2001. (No Lock in those days) I had been reading about them in a few gun magazines for a short while. No one here knew what I was talking about, (probably thought I was nuts) but called their supplier and found me one. It cost me $550...

    617 - 6 SHOT OR 10

    Well I did it! Yep, I replaced the one (model 17) that I never should have sold. I traded for a 617 6" 10 shot over the weekend. Now i've got a great plinker/target shooter again that will outlast me. I appreciate everyones input and opinions and now I hope to break it in on Turkey Day. Thanks!

    617 - 6 SHOT OR 10

    The first S&W I ever owned was a model 17 6". Why did I ever sell it? Now I am thinking of getting a 617 not realizing I need to decide 6 or 10 shot. It will be a target/plinker gun that I won't sell after 20 years like I did the "17". It will be a keeper. Any input as to which you prefer 6...

    386Sc/S - Keep, shoot, sell?

    I've got the 386Sc/S myself, had it to the range once and really like it. You have any ideas where a guy could find a stock holster (leather) to fit it or a custom one that wouldn't take 3 months to get. Thanks

    Smith Wesson Model 042.

    I bought a 042 approx 15 to 18 years ago. Ended up trading it for a 638 3 or 4 years ago. My mistake, 638's are pretty common, 042's are rare and pretty pricey. Didn't realize that when I traded. Finish on 042 is far superior to current blue guns. I sure wish I had it back.

    342 PD Question

    .38 S&W SPL +P JACKETED on the barrel. I've shot +P's thru it, carry them in it, but mostly shoot 158gr RN rainier with 3.5 gr bullseye reloads in it for practice. It weighs almost the same as the Ruger LCP 380, but I alternate between them for pocket carry.

    342 PD Question

    I got my 342PD in Nov. 2001. No one had heard of it at the gun shop I ordered it from. I had been reading about it for a while.They thought I was crazy to pay that much for a s&w snubby. It is an awesome carry gun and my shooting buddies seem envious of the lite weight. I would buy another or a...

    I've got the big brother a 622 stainless or aluminum I suppose in 6" and the baby brother a 2214 3" in blue and love them both. I would give $159 to have the middle brother. fun to shoot and a little different look from some other 22's. By the way, this is my first post. Been sitting on the side...
