    65-5 show and tell

    This was an as-new M65-3 .357 heavy bull barrel acquired a few years ago. Less than one box of ammo thru it. Kept the original hammer, bobbed a NOS replacement, converted to DAO and added a proper grip.

A new Taurus M85, bobbed hammer and DAO conversion as well; work horse for range practice to minimize wear...

    Front pocket /appendix holster for J frame, replace Uncle Mike's sidekick size 4 ?

    Uncle Mike's have always been the least common denominator for cheap holsters. Most of their holsters expose themselves like yours after a short time......yours has been in hibernation decaying for decades. Elite Survival Pocket & Safariland are much superior products in construction and...

    Cup Tip Punches for S&W Revolvers

    Starrett has never made parallel punches with a cup tip. WTF?. IF they made them, I would own them. The cup tipped ones are tapered nail setting punches to be re-purposed as "starter" punches to get the domed head pin moving for a few millimeters. Now however, most of Starrett mfg. has been...

    Cup Tip Punches for S&W Revolvers

    IF you cannot easily source them, you can modify a common punch to complete the task. Either a brass or steel parallel pin punch host with Dremel ball to create the "cup tip" OR use nail finishing punches that have a cup tipped surface. FYI- Most of the S&W & Beretta punch shafts are so small...

    "But I would much rather have a 590A1 than a Shockwave." No worries for me. I am quite familiar with the Rules. They are registered with BATFE as SBS's; $200 / each. No Tax $ now! The 14" 590A1. Have it your way.

    Question - chamfering cylinder charge holes

    Just an amateur but this is how I do it. Pretty easy to do. It's a simple hand-driven cylinder chamber chamfering tool with a caliber specific pilot. After the primary chamfering, polishing with a burnishing bob and finalized with a Spyderco ceramic cylindrical polishing tool. Here's a M65-3...
