Owned a Taurus .357, never had any problems with it. But...once you feel the difference between a Taurus and a finely built S&W revolver...you can appreciate the quality that S&W has put into their guns.

I have myself a 15-4 snub nose. It is my EDC. Also sports hogue grips (I still have the original). These revolvers are top of the line, great triggers and superb accuracy. No wonder it is the "Combat Masterpiece".

One of my favorite weapons! Now you need one is stainless steel ;)

Thank you!

Just picked up this model 15 from my dad, fist s&w! S&W Model 15-4 a) .38 special b) 2" barrel c) Square butt d) 6 shot e) Rear adjustable sights f) 94K8328 g) 15-4

Lol looks like we're in the same boat pcwire....I will be loading and shooting them at FMJ data, ill let you know what I come up with.

I loaded 4.3gr of universal. The max for a LRN is 4.5, and the minimum for an FMJ is 4.5...so I am a but nervous loading to FMJ data.

Well, I increased the load and still have the same problem. What do you guys think of me using a .358 diameter 125gr bullet? I have also been told to increase my loads even more, to fmj levels, since the bhn of my projectile is 18.

Its is a Glock 19 with Lone Wolf barrel. Also, allegedly missouri bullet co. has "harder" cast lead than most, and I have heard (just now on a podcast) that gas cutting will occur if a load is too hot with softer lead AND if the load is too light with a harder lead bullet. So....I need to...

Whatever the fouling is, it is VERY hard to get out. The load I am talking about, a forum member used quickload and it stated that the load is not a high pressure load. Should I bump it up to 4.2gr? So confusing...

The load I am using is the starting load.

Recently got into reloading, and am loading a 115gr LRN from missouri bullet with 4.0gr of Universal, COL of 1.100. I have noticed that after 100-125 rounds, I am getting a lot of buildup (I assume leading) just forward of the chamber. Is this normal?

Like TLH stated, the slide does not ride on the plastic rails of the frame, it is more of a "guide". Kahr Arms make a fine pistol, the polymer they use is not as durable as say a Glock, but this shouldn't be a problem. I would put a tad more oil on the frame rails, that might help some. If you...

Thanks guys....I think my rounds have a tad too tight of crimp, which is probably leading to this

So, for future reference, would you say its safe to say that your COL can vary +-.010?
