I have a 67-1, and that is the perfect assessment! Andy

The striker block prevents the gun going full-auto in case of sear/striker breakage, like Marlin said. The articulated trigger on the Sigma prevents the pistol firing if dropped on its butt/rear of slide (you would have to drop it a long ways, I would think). In theory, on the Glock, the...

I fear that is my thought as well, only without the Hogue grip. Andy

I have owned a SW40VE for years, and have never had a problem with it. I don't keep track of rounds fired, but I have to have fired at least a 1000. My sons, my wife, a lot of my friends and their wives have shot it, it has never jammed. Andy

C 1032XX, i guess they ran out of nickel :)

My circa 1974 (I think) model 67's red sight insert has kinda shrunken over the years. Is this common; is there an easy fix? Thanks Andy

I picked up my new (to me) Model 67 yesterday. My wife says her mid-century 5" M&P is prettier, I can see her point. I like the 67 though, it looks like my 629 Mountain Gun, only smaller. Same tapered barrel look, and it has a great balance. Other than an ugly screw or two, the revolvers is in...

A local G/S had a pallet of primers the other day. I bought 5000 of each size for 149.99 per 5000. The last primers I bought were 20 a brick of 1000, not all that long ago (couple years) Andy

It amazes me so many people bought the Prius so everyone would know "I'm driving a Hybrid" when the Honda was a much better car. My wife and I just bought a new Focus as our 3rd car, her SUV was burning way too much gas when it was just her and one or two kids in town. It handles well, and is...

I think the Backpackers (and all 3" N Frames) are beautiful, but my 629 Mountain Gun is a more practical gun, to me. Andy

If your Sigma is as reliable as mine has been, you will be happy with it for a long long time! Andy

I do have a quick question, did the Model 67s come with target grips, or only the Magna style? I put a Model 67 on layaway this weekend, it has target grips that sure look like they belong on it, although the bottom corners of the grips are "chewed up" I assume from a seatbelt when holstered...

And S&W did make the Model 15, which is more or less identical to the 19. The Model 15 had a more tapered barrel, an un-shrouded ejector rod and a slightly shorter cylinder, but even side by side, you have to look twice. I don't know if that answers your question Andy

My 629-4 Mountain Gun was new enough to be cased in a plastic box, but for what it is worth, it came sans sight tool or cleaning gear. The 4" MG makes a large enough fireball in the right conditions, cannot even imagine the snub. Great looking gun!! Andy

Ruger gambled that people still love the 38 Spl, with their LCR. The only 38 Spl in my house is a late 40s, early 50s 5" M&P, but I have burned a LOT of the ammo in my Security Six and SP101 357s. Even +P handloads are pleasant to shoot in my 357s, compared to magnum loads. Andy

Hi, all I just finished cleaning my SW40VE tonite, so I thought this thread was timely. I have owned mine long enough I bought it before the AWB sunsetted (10 years old?), and it has always been perfectly reliable. I said I just finished cleaning it, I should add for the first time in 2 years...

Like Dan said, the top of the front post is still level with the top of the sight groove. Andy

I don't have any experience with the Fobus auto holsters, but I have one for a k-frame revolver. I don't really dislike it, but I don't like it well enough to buy another one, plus most of the Fobus holsters sold locally are paddle holsters, I would prefer a belt holster. Holsters are a pretty...

I am considering picking one of these up for my 40 Sigma, for general purpose use. Does anyone here own/use one with the Sigma (9 or 40)? Would you recommend it, or an alternative? I have considered and rejected a Blackhawk Serpa and Fobus. I realize that a SW40VE is a pretty big pistol to...

I posted a WTB for some Checkered Diamond Magnas, grips13 responded, and I ended up with the correct grips in outstanding shape for a fair price. Grips and I spoke on the phone, and he was very friendly and helpful. The grips were shipped quickly, packaged carefully, and when they arrived, they...
