Going to pick up a box or two of 180 grain and shoot a few rounds this weekend while I have some range time with my Glock 19 and SW 640 Custom Shop.

are you being serious-are they unavailable?

how does one locate springs for this?

Very nice. And thanks for the advice. I know it's not a handmade custom, but for me its just oozes (in a good way) quality, like it was put together back in the 50s by one of the regarded firearms manufacturers. As for the carry system, I was thinking along those lines-I'm afraid a belt rig...

Recently paid off one of these I had on layaway and took delivery. Haven't shot it yet but it seems really nice and rather beastly on examination. Anybody shot one of these and have any opinions? And any input on durability or any spare parts to obtain (other than the standard springs)...

Thanks!cwd

Thanks, but I prefer the materials of the frame and the internals over the RIA. As for someone else's interest, not an issue-don't plan on selling one that I get worked up. Cost may exist in installing sights, and if cutting needs to be done, it may be hard to find a smith game to do so, given...

reply Thanks for the responses-as for pix, I really can;t take them of how it feels when it cycles.

I have a no dash 686 that was stolen and used in two homicides and eventually returned to me from the courts-I posted a thread about it years ago-and have taken it down to seriously thinking carrying it. I've had a decent gunsmith who knows his limitations and was S&W trained years ago look...

glocked I remember in the late 80's I had carried Smith 19 and 686 revolvers, then a Beretta 92 when assigned to the tactical unit. We were still using 1911s in the reserve unit for Uncle Sam, at least, and after I went in the narcotics unit I carried a bunch of 1911s, including a Gold Cup...

ar Thanks for good advice and thoughts, will update when I am able to actually shoot and such. Some notes: 1. Was lubed properly, I am fairly certain, and will keep it such. 2. I agree on the replacement parts, and do this for all my firearms. 3. I do not want to make a mountain of a...
