    What do you guys think about the SIG Sauer P232?

    I am probably a bit obsessed with small compact CCW's and my bank account can testify to that :o Warm months the LCP is in a DeSantis Nemesis. I carry my 232 exclusively during the period of November - March in an OWB Mitch Rosen UPL. I do on occasion carry in a G&G Belly Band but only when I...

    Name your biggest POS handguns.

    Biggest POS for me was a Charter 2000 Bulldog in .44 spl. . I had the gun ordered and was very disappointed in the fit/finish. The real problem was that the cylinder would not lock up properly. After closing the cylinder you could lightly press on the right hand side of the cylinder and it would...

    What has happened to Smith & Wesson?

    I've been collecting S&W's for many years and have had, on more than one occassion, to take advantage of their warranty service. It definitely makes a person angry when you spend your hard earned money on a product that is supposed to be one of the very best only to experience a malfunction of...

    Which recoil spring for a Star

    I want to replace the factory recoil spring on a STAR Modelo Super A (9mm Largo) with a little heavier on from Wolff. Which spring do I need? I'll probably order from Brownell's. Is it listed as a STAR spring or do I use one for a 1911 or a HiPower?

    S&W 38 Special CTG

    " I recently inherited an old S&W 38 Special CTG ..." You may or may not know this but I'll say it just in case. Some folks get confused by the "CTG" part of that line. This is a standard .38 special revolver. The long term would be " Smith and Wesson .38 Special Cartridge". I've read posts...

    Is a 5 Round Snubby Enough?

    5 rounds of LRN? Absolutely NOT!! 5 rounds of Buffalo Bore ? Yea, I can deal with that. A 158 grain LHP at over 1,000 fps. out of a 2" j frame ain't nothin' to sneeze at.

    My Pop needs a OWB holster for S & W 60

    I also have some from DeSantis that are some of my favorite OWB's. I have an old Bucheimer belt scabbard w/ thumb break that is by far the best OWB holster I have for a J frame.

    What gun in Firecreeek (Jimmy Stuart)?

    steveracer, I was also curious as to what type of revolver Johnny Cobb was using. That movie includes a favorite line of mine, "The day a man wakes up and decides not to face the world is the day he'd better step out of it". A true classic.

    Remove a 642 cylinder?

    Not sure of an exact size, but Brownells sells a set of Magna Tips just for S&W revolvers. A few years back I bought the AGI S&W Armorers Course (Revolvers) DVD from Brownells and it's some of the best money I've ever spent. It deals mostly with K/L/N frames but there's only one difference...

    Remove a 642 cylinder?

    On the Right side of the gun ( the side without the cylinder release) there are three screws. Remove the one just ahead and above of the trigger gaurd. Open the cyinder and slide it toward the barrel. The cylinder and yoke assembly will slide right off. You can simply separate the yoke and...

    home protection

    I was once in a simular situation with my wife. After some serious thought and many visits to various gun shops, she picked a S&W Model 10 Heavy Barrel in .38 Special. She absolutely loves this revolver and even with 158 grain +P HP's has no complaints about the recoil. After a short time she...

    Unsafe Model 19 ??

    I asked this question on another forum but didn't get much of a response: What, if any, "unsafe" event would unfold due to shooting .38 spl. lead bullets from a S&W Model 19 with a SMALL crack in the forcing cone? Here's the deal. I have four Model 19's two are NIB safe queens, one is a...

    3" Snubby opinions

    I have the opurtunity to buy a Taurus Model 85, mfr.'d in 1989 , appears to have brushed nickle finish with 3" barrel in 90% condition. I've never owned a Taurus and to be honest don't have a clue about their reliability or accuracy. I've shot and collected S&W revolvers for many years but I can...

    Ruger GP-100 or S&W 686

    I have two 686's, a 4" and a 6" Hunter model. I HAD a GP100 but sold it about a year ago. You will never wear a Ruger out but there's no finesse there. A S&W is silky smooth and just has a better balance. The GP felt like holding a handgun replica molded from concrete.

    My latest acquisition: S&W 19-3

    I have four 19's with one being an identical 6" 19-3 and you can rest assured you have yourself a genuine tack driver there. I like the front target post on the 6" models. You have a very nice Smith, congratulations.

    I need a "truck gun" (and some opinions)

    I picked up two Model 19's, a 4" and a 6" , at a local shop for $400 for both. The 6" is in excellent condition sporting a pair of wooden S&W combat grips and the 4" is VG with wooden S&W target grips. I got them both so cheap because the man told me the forcing cone on the 4" was cracked. I...
