Well I have tried a number of leather holsters and while I like them and agree that they are the “historically correct” holsters for a revolver, I find that the jmck holster I have makes the carry of a gun that I like and want to be able to carry comfortably a reality. I suppose I could squirrel...

In the world! Shout out to JM Custom Kydex! I received their IWB for a 4” k-frame and cannot believe how easily it Carrie’s both my m19-4 and my 10-7 pencil barrel. I know it’s there but it really isn’t heavy and it doesn’t push into my body badly like some others have. I am truly satisfied with...

Thanks everyone for the responses. I’m prone to overthinking things so I wanted the input. Most of my shots will be under 100 so it proba won’t matter much I like to know

I have heard the drops are comparable on a 223 bdc reticle and a 308 reticle. I have a 223 bdc 1-8 mounted on a 308 Axis and zeroed for 100 yards. Is it reasonable to expect the actual 308 drops to be close to where the 223 stadia lines are in the scope?

I love that holster, did u make it yourself or buy it from somewhere? I would like one for my 64-2

Well…I decided against either of my choices and went with a Smith 642. It just carries so well

I have a 41 Blackhawk for the woods. I think the Defender is not as practical as the snub(for me for ccw). I am leaning far more to the 605.

That’s kinda where I am on it. I like the form factor of the Defender too…

I am currently looking at the 605 snub 357 and the 856 Defender 3” 38. I know they are two separate animals but am interested in what you fine people think. The orange night sight on the Defender isn’t clear when I hold it at arms length like the standard sight is, and I have j- frame leather...

I'm so sorry for your loss. Some people are diamond's and some are coal. Sounds like your little girl was a diamond

Sorry I didn't get back to ya sooner. There doesn't appear to be any damage to the receiver. That is what I was told regarding the bits. Maybe it was justification to not have to work on a job he didn't want to or maybe he truly did. I don't know. He always impressed me as honest but ya never know.

So the first smith is a longtime associate who has a gunsmith business and I know that he is very good at what he does ...generally. I feel like it was convenient to let my job sit and take advantage of the fact that I wouldn't complain. Then I started to bitch and put him in a corner. So I...

Thank you guys for all the help. I contacted another guy that I knew sold guns and found out he was able to do light gunsmithing. We discussed what I wanted done and he said he was able to help me out. I appreciate all the responses and am interested in that sloping stock concept as well. Hope...

I am seeing the sights lined up. scoping was definitely my preference. Irons was a means to an end.

Well I would have hoped so. He kept the rifle for 6 months before he gave up on finding a mount, breaking a couple bits before I said, "hell, put irons on the gun I wanna be able to shoot it". The front sight was too short when I got it back and i bought a taller one. I dont think I'll be going...
