DA vs SA I shoot both DA and SA with as many wheelies as I can carry to the range... However, I suggest that you practice both until you become 'proficient' enough to focus on one or the other. I suggest starting 'up close' until you figure out tigger control, in either SA or DA. If you...

So, How many licks does it take to get to the center of this tootise pop? I guess a good revolver, properly maintained (no rust, oiled and cleaned, etc), will last a few lifetimes. But that's my guess. I have a S&W 1917 of 1922 of 1937 in 45ACP that looks like it's been thru the...

Warranty works Smith's Warranty seems mighty fine to me. I had a 'timing' issue with my 629. Called 'em up. They never asked if I bought it new... they shipped me a label and returned it 'better than new' inside two weeks (post-election-day-rush). ---------- I have many others...

Revolvers are like Pickup Trucks Everyone needs one, may be two or more if you've got space in the 'garage'. I just came back from the range with a new 'old' smith ... I just love their actions. They don't fit the $400 price tag, unless you whack someone with the butt-end to give it to...

All, I thought I'd post a followup to the post and picts I made earlier... Your enthusiam for the 303 peaked my interest and well it's catching... I started reading a bit more on the MK4, No1. Interesting bit of history... Might be fun to shoot along with the M1 Garand and 1903...

I have one that is crowding my safe... All, I can understand your 303 madness. I've had madness over a few other 'beautiful ladies'. I ran across a '303 Jungle' version (noted by the flared barrel) last week hanging on the wall at a local shop. Was hard to pass up, but again, not my...
