    Safety thought of the day

    It was factory ammo. it was determined a "squib”. I have no Idea, but with lawyers involved who really knows. My understanding is in some cases, like powerful magnum loads can cause a cylinder disinigration. blowing the top strap and cylinder apart. i don’t know, just what I was told. It would...

    Squib’s happen. Never pull that trigger if you feel a really weak reaction. This was not a pleasant experience I’m sure

    586 no dash Silhouette value?

    I tend to give much more worth to the -4 and older S&W revolvers because they were hand fitted and better overall guns. And when they are somewhat rare like the Silhouette, I would pay a premium for a gun like that with a box. i am selling a 629-4 in excellent to like new condition for $950. I...

    Four inch vs Five inch 625

    my Bro in law has the 1986 stainless 625 in 5 inch. It’s his but I own it. Can stand there and eat the center out of a target at 30 feet. I can just flat-out shoot that thing. He can’t do that on his best day and he can shoot. We both shoot our 629’s at clay pigeons at 100 yards on the shot gun...

    460 PC Bone Collector Cylinder issue ?

    Look at the right side of the revolver. There is a screw that is a key screw that holds the internal cylinder pivot rod. It is advised to tighten that screw that gets loose from the pressure and impact of the round. This can be very dangerous. This screw can be coated with purple threadloc. then...

    Thornily Stopping Power

    Thanks for adding that Ivan. I have heard that term for many years. this one is different and by a respected authority at the time. For what I gather, he tested it out in field use, not in theory. I have shot the new FBI rounds and quite honestly, I am not impressed. Not at all. I do see how...

    New Toy

    Yes, he owns a company. When I contacted him, this revolver was on the site for less than an hour. He wanted this Sig I had. When I met him, I couldn’t believe it. He was in his late twenty’s at most. He is a very avid bow hunter and was going to use this handgun as a backup when hog hunting. My...

    New Toy

    Weapons Education shoulder rig. Don’t think I’ll fire it. I was looking for a 44 mag Marlin rifle, either the 16 1/2 inch 44p made in 1999-2001 or a SBL 44 magnum JM or after 2016 manufacture date. After nothing came up, I got this for trade for my Sig. Slick hand gun with removable weighting.
