    Quality Control

    I have new Taurus and S&W as well as Ruger and never sent any back. They all worked as they should, no problems. Except the Bodyguard 2 that had a really hard to operate slide. I sent it back and they sent it back to me with a note "cannot duplicate problem" but I guess that at my OLD age I...

    Aluminum Case Ammo

    If they make the cartridge with a cheaper aluminum case they are going to reduce the cartridge cost. So one has to think what else are they cheapening up??? The powder??? the primers?? They are going for the cheapest cartridge they can make and sell for the cheapest price.

    What was your first Smith and Wesson??

    I got a 10-5 in 1979 from a fellow that borrowed $50 from me since he said he couldn't pay me back the $50. It was like new then but I sold it in 2014 along with most of the many guns that I had.

    This may or may not have already been done

    Be careful keeping the gun in its box. They have a tendency to rust on the side touching the liner in the box. You can put it up a little on toothpicks so it doesn't touch the liner.

    0W-20 SYNTHETIC OIL???

    Absolutely true, but a lot of guys think Mobil 1 is 100% synthetic which is not. There are only 4 oil manufacturers that make 100% synthetic and Amsoil, Penzoil, Royal Purple (don't remember the 4th one). However I have used Amsoil since they started making it till last year. Now I use Penzoil...

    Favorite 38 spl self defense load

    I don't know what bullets are in my 38, I have loaded it with whatever I had around a year or so ago. I'm sure that I bought a box of bullets based on price and that is what is in the gun. I figure that any bullet that I shoot at the bad guy will do the job.

    Was gifted a 1955 Chiefs Special

    Since there are 2 versions just buy them both and when you find out which one fits just send the other one back for a refund.

    Questions on refinishing stocks

    I believe you can buy checkering tools at Numrich. Not really that hard to do but takes a lot of time because you have to work slowly. I think they have a video on rechecking too.

    Bodyguard 2.0 with safety

    Personally I wont buy a gun without some sort of safety, preferably a thumb safety. I don't like the grip safety on some pistols, just prefer a thumb safety on at lease one side of the gun.

    Decision on What SW 44 Magnum to Buy

    I looked at the S&W guns and also the 7.5" Ruger Super Redhawk. I ended up buying the Super Redhawk and the 5.5" Redhawk. It was the trigger that convinced me to buy these. The trigger on the Redhawks is the best, smoothest, most perfect trigger of any production gun out there.

    Bodyguard 2.0 with safety

    I really like my BG2 with safety. However I had to send it back because I could not rack the slide. 10 days later it was returned with a note that they could not duplicate the problem. It seems that I'm too old and don't have the strength to do it. I got the "Handi- racker" and that worked on my...

    Anybody interested in this?

    I used to do woodworking but not that type to make boxes and such. But the one you made is very nice (coming from an old woodworker). Can't wait till you show us how you make them.

    Whats your latest purchase? "guns/accessories"

    I have for many many years wanted a Luger, however I could never bring myself to pay the really high prices they want for one. Now around 2k to even 17k for one. So I bit the bullet and bought a Stoeger 22 cal Luger for $360. It has the steel receiver so it should last a little while. Now I need...

    Seaking a gas checked 180gr .40cal HC FP

    I know this may be a little off the subject here but I thought it may help me in determining if I'm doing the right thing. A few friends of mine that shoot and hunt with black powder rifles asked me to alter some bullets for them. 50mm, 360 gr, solid lead bullets that they have some problems...

    Ok - need to fix an accident cleaning my 617

    I have lost a spring from one of my guns so after looking for it for 2 days, I decided to Email S&W and ask for a new spring. I said I'd pay for the spring and shipping cause it was my fault to have lost it. In a week a new spring arrived at my home and for free too.
