There seems to be some confusion on part # 6215. I seem to recall that both my -2 models have this screw, but I am not at home right now to verify this. I thought that screw limited how far forward the trigger could move. What this screw is used for on the later models is where the confusion...

Well I'll be Exchippy....I didn't know you could do that with a M-52. Did it matter which version model 52 you had? I thought I had heard most everything regarding a M-52, but never heard of one being converted to D/A-S/A with 3rd Gen parts. Did this conversion change much with trigger pull...

t4halo you did exceptionally good on the trade. If all is well with that pistol one could say you stole it, but that's such an ugly word. Let us know how it shoots for you but clean and oil it first to give it a good chance of working well for you. Don't lose any of the stuff that came with...

I agree with you Dave in all respects except one. Is what we hear or read about M-41's really the truth? We all expect everything to work as it should right from the get-go, but rarely, if ever, does it turn out that way. Have you bought a new car lately? Was it perfect right from the moment...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I had bought into the BS about older M-41's being the best to buy and ended up with a great paperweight that I spent money on trying to repair and ended selling at a loss. Not long after I bought a new PC M-41 that needed a new ejector, but has been...

I can't say I am surprised at the response from the person you spoke with at Smith and Wesson, but to say the Model 52 is " just another old gun" is a slap in the face to those of us that have them, shoot them and cherish them. All of my M-52's have been far more than just another old gun...

During my "I've sworn off Model 41's phase" I bought a couple of Ruger MKIV's and upgraded them with Volquartsen parts. While they were both pretty good shooters neither were similar in feel to the Model 41 by any stretch. When I bought my PC M-41 I sold off one of the MKIV's because I didn't...

Late to the party as it looks like the deal is done. The only point I have is any extras, other than magazines, mean next to nothing for me. Condition of the pistol itself means everything because that it is the best indicator of how well it was taken care of. Had I one word of advise other...

tlawler: It looks like you got a really nice M-52 for yourself. No bushing wrench is needed for that pistol. I tighten mine up finger tight and leave it there. That was how I was told to do it years ago by a factory armorer at a department school. I have used that method with great success...

Hal, I'll bet you a breakfast Cadillac dealers have had customers come back for paint issues more than once. Perfection is a VERY elusive animal rarely seen in the wild. If man can make something it can and will be imperfect at times. When I buy something new of any real expense I expect it...

I don't know if 52-1's had a better trigger or not, but the 52-1 being discussed by the OP certainly looks like it is worth the price of admission. Even a casual look at firearms auctions sites reveals the prices of Model 52's and related parts such as magazines is definitely going upwards...

There is no arguing that newer M-41's have issues, but is the pistol really that bad? Seems to me I have read a lot of posts where owners are having issues with their older M-41's too, so I wouldn't be too quick to burn just the new ones. Truth is we really don't know what the warranty return...

I had Clark fit two of their barrels on two of my Model 52's. I couldn't be more pleased with the results. From a personal perspective I think both pistols shoot better, but I would have a hard time quantifying that without expending some serious range time. What I do know is both new Clark...

It's funny how so many reloaders follow the same path. Start with the cheapest equipment to see if you like reloading and then start buying more expensive gear to make the job easier and faster. I too, did the same thing, but went on some different side trips. I currently use a Redding turret...

I have had the same experience as Tom S. I purchased a brand new Model 41 PC pistol and almost immediately had problems with it. Contacted S&W and they sent me a shipping tag and instructions for sending the pistol in for service. I did as they directed and about 6 weeks later I received my...

That's the same thing I heard from a long time S&W factory rep years ago. We were both at a S&W Armorers school and the Model 52 came up in conversation. I always thought that was good advice. Rick H.

If I do the math correctly it looks like the Geco ammunition you are using runs about 870 FPS at the muzzle. In my opinion this is a bit faster than "normal" .38 Special W/C ammunition runs here. The last box of new Federal W/C ammunition ammo I chrono'd was 755 FPS out of my M52. So the Geco...

Unless someone rechambered an early model 1873 for some reason, my guess is the OP purchased a later Winchester 1873 model made under license in Japan. These are very well made rifles from what I have read, but the OP needs to be a bit more detailed in his desires. Are you wanting reduced...

Never having looked at a 52 no dash I am just guessing but I agree with Sevens. I think 6215 is one in the same for the lock out of the double action feature on no dash models. 6216 is only responsible for overtravel of the trigger. I have never needed to adjust 6215, only 6216 a very few...

Not to question your pics Cougar015, but isn't the screw immediately behind the trigger a trigger overtravel adjustment screw? I thought I read the double action lockout screw was an internal screw that could only be adjusted with the slide off the frame. I could be wrong on this as I have...
