I have nearly your exact P226 and I used pau ferro grips, because the original grips have a funny shape right where I grip with my right thumb. I went to a thicker grip (I have big palms and short fingers, the ideal hand for the 226) and I have never looked back. Pretty much my only truly...

Colt Commander, slide was lopsided, finished unevenly, galled in back, trigger was terrible. I got it for a real steal though and resold it for more than I paid for it, but it was a disappointing gun. HK USP in .40, way too snappy to enjoy, life got better once I avoided that round. I own...

A pair of no-dash Smith and Wesson carry revolvers, from about a dozen years apart. A four inch 686, on stock targets, and a 696 on Ahrends Bubinga for comparison. In truth the 686 is probably the better all around gun, but I do keep the 696 around for snake /trail protection.

An X-5 is of course a brilliant, brilliant gun in its own right. My P226 is reasonably close in my hands. Is it as tight? No. Can I put 30 on paper at reasonable distances in the time I could shoot nine from my P210? Absolutely, I've shot it a lot, and it is a really good pistol. And...

The slide release is pretty far forward, I know I cannot reach it with my right thumb one handed. You have to have a pretty long thumb to work the slide that way. The back of the P210 esp with target sights has some sharper edges too, so slingshotting it is not always a picnic. As a pointer...

The P-210 is not really a great weapon for weapon's sake. A few things just make it very hard to work with....the heel mag release, capacity, the positioning of the safety, the way the sights are usually set. It does have a very nice sight picture and because of its weight it has low perceived...

Hickock 45 is shooting a 696 this week on his site, and that little gun...three inch barrel 44 special and he does not miss his first 15 shots, not until it is a very very long shot to a small target. I have one and it is a very nifty very accurate gun that shoots like a 45 with moderate...

That just a great 686. My six inch is my best all around target gun.

This, or 5.2 of WSF. 15 BHN lead. I'll dial it up just a tad for 180s.

686 no dash, 1985 696 no dash, 1997

Yeah they look like Smith and Wesson targets.

For revolvers I use WSF for .44 special, light .44 magnum and .357s. It will also load 38s very well, but I use Unique for those.

Ahrends solids?

Truly a beautiful revolver.

Hmmm. I own a ppk and while it is well made, and I have about a thousand rounds through it, it has jammed on occasion. I don't know if yours is a .380 but in .32 ball ammo and only ball ammo, Winchester white 71 grain is pretty much all you can count on. You had me at Model 19.:D

Call them first. They have a test and you may not need the modification. My four incher is a no dash from 1985.

Oh no, they can make a revolver. Trust me on that. :D

Think the advantage to a dash four is you can rock the seven shot without a lock. The timing is different between the cylinders, so I might pick one....have it set up as either a permanent six or seven shot. What length barrel is that? If is four inches, I think the old school look of wooden...

Spot on. I love it as a subcompact 45.

I have it as a subcompact interchangeable with a seven shot 45 or an eleven shot 40 S&W set up as possibilities. I can also run either with a cut down compact frame and have even more capacity. But it excels as a subcompact EDC esp. in 45 intended for close range, with that doa trigger it is...
