I have had a Model 84 for well over 20 years. It is my pocket gun and it works perfectly. I too, as others have said, think it looks great. Also, as others have said, it is large for a .380. It was in existence well before all the wondernines came out and you can get firearms with more...

Thanks to all of you that replied to my post. It does seem prudent to take it to the horses mouth and give S & W a call to see what they think I should do. I really don't want a cobbed up job or homemade looking repair. The pistol is too precious to me to do that. Thanks again. Bob

Wildfire: I think you have hit it right on the head. It looks like some kind of coating on the barrel instead of a blued finish. I also believe you are right when you say there must have been something on the foam that ate the finish off, although I don't know what it could have been. I am...

I was going through my gun cabinet/safe trying to get things in order for a move out of state when I pulled my Smith Model 41 out of the shelf to find to my utter dismay, that the bluing had literally leached off the barrel onto the spongy foam stuff that they put in the gun safes for...

Armoredman: We will be taking up residence somewhere in the Phoenix vicinity. We have two kids that live there and want to be near them. We haven't found a place yet. The house sale is all but a done deal so we have to find a place by hot time, July 1. We have been thinking of...

WDLSGUY: That sounds like it covers it to me. Thanks a million. Bob

SatCong. That is exactly what I had in mind. If I lock them in the trunk of the car and a police officer stops me and asks if there are any firearms in the car, I am not going to lie to him. Is this some interstate trafficing of firearms, especially the several handguns I will be moving too...

I am going to be moving from NY state to AZ in the next couple of months. I want to move my firearms with me. I am beginning to hear horror stories about how hard it is going to be for me to move my guns with me. I contacted the mover and they are telling me they are not sure they can move them...

In retrospect, this seems like the deal of a lifetime to me. We are talking 1972, now. I had owned a Browning Challenger in .22 cal. I had been shooting it in NRA bullseye when a friend of mine let me try his Smith Model 41. After shooting the 41, I simply had to have one so I went on a...

I wanted to pass this along to everyone to remind them to continue to be ever vigilant when it comes to being safe at the range. Two fellowshooters and I where shooting a friend's .500 and .44 at some bowling pins today. We had finished shooting with the .500 and had put it away and were kind...

I can buy the idea that the aluminum cases extract differently than brass. Brass is about four times denser than aluminum. I would think that cases of equal dimensions would weigh a quarter as much in aluminum and fly farther(higher into your face?) than the brass. Just a thought from an old...

I was wondering when someone would eventually get around to talking about the Beretta in .380. I have a model 84 with 13 rd mag and I use it a lot as a carry gun. I love the looks of it and it functions flawlessly. I bought it at about the time when gunmakers were starting to downsize pistols...

Perhaps some of you have seen a similar post by me in other forums. My neighbor has a very nice Sako rifle chambered for this cartridge. We were talking in the yard about it one day and he was dismayed because he was very low on ammo and didn't know where he could get some. Being a...
