Thanks for the input. Sounds like y'all had a blast.

I inherited a Winchester Model 20 single shot .410. Using the serial number, I determined it was manufactured in 1919. There's nothing I can see on the gun stating the length of shell it's chambered for. Any ideas on what length shells I should use? Thanks, Volgunner

Just turned 60. Either 642 or Glock 27.

Remington rifled slugs for my Western Arms .410 SXS.

I was a died-in-the-wool revolver guy (mostly j- and l-frame Smith & Wessons), until last week when I went over to the dark side by acquiring a new G27, gen3. While I rented a lot of 9 mm's in the process of deciding on the G27, I'm really learning on the 40 cal platform, and, so far, it's...

Congratulations. Great revolver. I've got the 4", 7-shot. It's sweet. Welcome to the club. Russell

I've not acquired equipment yet, but I've been investigating getting into reloading for about six weeks or so. In addition to having read Lyman's #49 manual, I also purchased and read the latest edition of the Speer manual. The latter seemed to have a little more detailed information, at...

Thanks for the input Thanks to all of you for taking the time to send your ideas. Lots of good info to think about. The most important "take away" seems to be to concentrate on getting the charge right regardless of what type press/die is used. I'm going to order a couple of reloading...

Began shooting handguns three years ago and currently own S&W 686 and 642. Do not currently own any centerfire rifles, and don't have much interest in acquiring them. I'd like to start reloading and have been doing a considerable amount of reading here and on other sites. I think I...

Thanks for the input, guys. I'm pretty convinced about the .44 magnum, but still thinking about SA v. DA/SA. I need to rent a Super Blackhawk and see how that goes. Regards to all, Russell

Shot my first .44 magnum Saturday. Rented a S&W 629 4" (with standard Hogue grips) and put 20 rounds through it at the range. Wow! That got me to thinking I might kill two birds with one stone: get a Ruger SA, but get it chambered in .44 magnum rather than .357 like I had earlier thought...

Nightstand: 686+ loaded with .38 sp 158 gr. LRN Sock drawer: 642 loaded with, you guessed it, .38 sp 158 gr. LRN. 'Gunner

4" 686+

remove the stock Hogue grip on my 686+? I ran the screw in the bottom out and thought it would just slip off. It didn't. What's the trick? thx

4" 686. Nuff said.

57 years young, here, and I started shooting about 2 years ago when I purchased a S&W 686+, 4" barrel. Later I acquired a 642, which drops nicely in the pocket, but I still prefer shooting the 686 if I have the choice. I've rented a number of semi-automatics, and they're fun to shoot -- when...

Thanks for the replies, guys. Sounds like a mixed bag, but I'm inclined to go take a closer look at the Detective Special currently at the pawn shop. Regards, Russell

I'm relatively new to handguns. I purchased my first revolver, a S&W 686+ 4", two years ago, and a S&W 642 last year, both new. I'm thinking about branching out and acquiring a Colt revolver, possibly a Detective Special. Two questions: First, what attributes of the Colt line do you...

I've had a 686+ 4" for two years. It was my first revolver (I now have a 642, too), and I've been very pleased with the 686. I've never wanted a six-shooter in lieu of the extra-round capacity. Regards, Russell

Goodtime: You hit the nail on the head. I'm in Knoxville and Robertson's is in W. TN. I'd really like to get over there to look at their stock. Thanks for the heads up, Russell
