    S&W 13 question

    i have a k-22 that looks like that but the internals are fine. 100 bucks from a police auction, and i would not pay a penny more.

    i had an older 19 and liked it, but i liked the model 13 better. both could hit the 100 yard gong... if i held my mouth right.

    hey, Balrog, just whack 'em with a stick if you have to. unless you are just shooting for fun, in which case, a 1911 is handy!

    Colt Conversion unit help.

    i kept my first one, a 70 series, scrupulously clean... until i forgot. kept shooting, worked just fine, on a 1918 from Anniston. finally when i cleaned it again, the 'floating chamber' was solidly leaded in. current unit is pre-70 series... i keep it cleaner.
