I snagged this on at a gun show last month.

I still have my old one. Great multi tool!

I picked these two up at the last gun show.

I agree two cylinders are a must. When I first saw the Ranger (break top) I wanted one but they only made 500 of them and they went fast. I do like the Earl but the grips were too small. Nice to know I can use the bigger grips if I get one. Thanks a lot everyone!

My 686 has a 4 inch barrel. I consider it to be one of the finest revolvers made. I carry a Ruger LCR a lot and just a couple weeks ago picked up a Taurus Model 65 (.357) snubbie. No magazines, no jams and no safety. A no-brainer for them times when by the time you think of something, it's all...

Thinking about getting one of the NAA Black Widows. I noticed there are two types of cylinder releases on them. Old and new I'm guessing. One is push the button on the end of the cylinder rod then slide out and the other is pull down the end of the cylinder rod, turn 90° and slide out. Which...

Picked up a Stevens 58B today. Not sure of the choke in it. I was wondering if there was any restrictions on what not to shoot like Winchester Super X Rifled Slugs Hollow Points or the Winchester PDX1 Defenders?

I bought a Leatherman Wave from a pawnshop for $12. IMHO it is worth the $60 or $70 they cost. I never go anywhere without it.

Most of my jackets have inside pockets in them. Most of the time I carry a LCR.

Tighten the take down screw. Mine was misfiring and not ejecting. Tightend up the screw. Back in business.

I found it at http://guns.wikia.com/wiki/S%26W_Model_66 I have owned mostly autos and just started picking up revolvers a couple of years ago. I have a CAI imported Taurus (65 it's blued) and have heard good and bad about Taurus. I mainly shoot .38 special and +P in it. I carry 160 gn hardcast...

I see. Thanks for the info.

The "flat" meaning the entrance of the cone?

Is it the same for the Taurus 65? "Smith and Wesson recommends that only 158gr loads in 357 magnum be used in the Model 66 and other K frame revolvers. The forcing cone is not as thick at the very bottom and can crack if using the 125gr loads. This is why S&W no longer makes a K frame 357...
