Sorry, 45 Colt vs 45 Auto Sorry, I didn't catch the 45 Colt part of the question.

Auto Rim in a 45 revolver. I have a 1917 S&W revolver in which it will work. I also believe the Model 22 (A replica of the 1917) will shoot it. Likewise for my 625JM. Additionally, while autorim will fit in a Governor, S&W says not to use it. Basically, the S&W 45 models cut for moon clips...

Cross bar safety and "Lock" I've got a 586, two 686s, two 625JMs and a bunch of other S&W revolvers. Outside of the original 1917 45ACP and the three Victory 38 Models I have, the others all have this ****. As far as I'm concerned, these revolvers with the S&W safety capitulation **** are...

I ran into this at WM and did some checking. I bought a box, in fact. I was especially curious about the Markings (NATO STANAG 4172) which is supposed to represent a 5.56mmX45mm cartridge with an SS109 penetrator (steel core) plug (or a US designation for SS109 being M855). The box DOES say...

I can believe this. I've cut a coil or two off a spring in my past and I never could just leave the cut alone. It seemed to me that the cut was at a point in the spring cant (the angle of the spring coils) and that there was really only one initial point of the spring contact with whatever it...

I agree with this. The first thing I did when I bought a Lady Smith for my wife was to remove the smooth wood grip and replace it with a rubber monogrip. She had been used to shooting a Model 10 with +P rounds and shot my daughter's 686 with magnums in it with no problems (all rubber grips).

If you know someone with a Nagant 7.62 revolver, ask them to let you try the pull. It's the Russian gas seal revolver that has the bullets seated all the way inside the rim of the casing. I tried to measure the pull on mine but the pull required maxed out the gauge I have. The spring is so...

This sounds like a problem I had and the answer I gave on another thread. "I have a question. Does it bind after shooting a several cylinders worth of ammo? I had this problem in a SW 625 JM. It turned out that it was a loose extractor rod housing. It had become loose when firing and started...

I have a question. Does it bind after shooting a several cylinders worth of ammo? I had this problem in a SW 625 JM. It turned out that it was a loose extractor rod housing. It had become loose when firing and started backing off (unscrewing) until it finally pushed the cylinder back against...

45 Auto Rim in a Governor. If you look in the S&W Modern Revolvers manual around page 11 or 12, it will explicitly tell you that 45 Auto Rims ARE NOT to be used in a Governor....pretty succinct if you ask me...

Not interested right now in grouping, etc. I went through the S&W recommendations for Ti, Sc & PD revolvers using Winchester Super X 45 Colt 255 Gr LRN ammo. Shot first 5 rounds and examined 6th. It did exactly as S&W warned could happen. Slug unseated at least 1/16". My question is what...
