My 851 fits in a S&W k frame holster. They are also close in size to a colt d frame I have been told.

My 30 year old and 19 year old daughters prefer revolvers to semi autos. Probably because my revolvers vastly outnumber my semi's. And they learned on revolvers. But I'm not prejudiced against semi autos.

I like the model 15 best of all my beloved K Frames. They balance just right.

Do you think they would work for the .41 Mag.? Or, do you think the rounds would be to loose? I think the .41 crowd might still be out of luck for speed strips.

I just joined today I purchased a used FM HiPower, M90, S/N 388XXX, today for $350.00 before taxes. This is my first HiPower. With Mr. Camp's online instructions, I was able to take it apart and give it a good cleaning. It came with the box and (1) ten round magazine, plus instruction booklet...

Here are my M-15's. M15-6 <15-3 I have liked the M15 since I carried it in the USAF until the change to the Beretta.

Here is my only Dan Wesson at the moment. It is a .41 Mag with 8 inch barrel. I picked up a 6 inch barrel but have not fired it with it yet. Now to find a 4 inch barrel.

I just bought a used Dawoo DP51C (Compact) 9mm. After researching it here on THR and finding mostly positive information. I know the full size DP51 (13 round) will use S&W 59 series mags. Does anyone know if the compact (10 round) will use the S&W 69 series mags? I paid $295.00 OTD. There is...

Thanks for the input. As stated you can never have to many guns. Maybe just to many different calibers of ammo to keep track of and store. Hopefully I will have decided by the next gun show. Or, maybe finding a good deal unexpectedly (it happens) will make the choice for me.

I have been thnking of getting a .40 S&W. But, I do not know if I need to add another caliber to my safe. I have .45 ACP, 9MM, .38/.357, .41 Mag and 9x18. Other than just wanting one, my current calibers will do most anything I need a handgun for. I am torn between spending my current gun...

A co-worker purchased a FEG Mod. MBK-Compact, Serial #K021xx. He wants me to clean it up for him. I know it is not a true HP clone. The grips are cracked/broken. Does anyone know if High Power grips will fit on this weapon. The weapon is a traditional DA/SA with maybe 50% of the finish left and...

chiefthunderstruck, do you have other barrels or just the 8 inch for your .41 Magnum?

Finally got to take some not so good pictures of my most recent .41 Magnum purchase. It is a Dan Wesson .41 Magnum with an 8 inch barrel. The finish is overall very good, except for a large scratch on the right side, as can be seen in the photo. The barrel also has to spots of light rust on the...

EIGHTBALL, sorry to be so long in answering. I got the grips from the Hogue Auction site. They are comfortable. The shop where I purchased it had got 15 Model 15's in from the SC Dept. of Corrections. Of the lot, only 2-3 were the 15-6 with heavy barrel. I had never seen a M-15 with a heavy...

My 4566 edges out my 39-2, just barely.
