The whole of Knoxville, is getting to be, NO, is as bad as, Atlanta or some of the other dens of horror. I have lived here a major portion of my life and I fear to leave my home anymore.
Old Axiom: Beware of the old fellow carring a revolver, he knows how to use it! I have a Glock 21 and the only time I carry it is when I'm going into a bad area late at night and I'm toting along a pocket full of extra magizines. It also has night sights. Otherwise my 5 shot .357 is supreme.
To go along with jad0110's thoughts; I have a modest collection of S&W's. Most of them are from the 60's and into the 80's manufacturing. To open them up and look at the internals they are well made and fitted, have excellent triggers. I have an old pre model 10 that was made in 1947. The...
Looks like the -2 engineering came along in 2001 and brought about the internal lock and MIM parts. In 2002 the adress line went from 4 lines to 2 lines; then in 2004 the stocks went to Ahrens wood grips. Unless there has been an Eng. change designation in the last 3 years they're still at...
+1 with rc. I just looked in the 3rd edition of the SCSW and the "Original Deffender" is not even mentioned. So I would hazard that ther is little if any collector value / demand. The history letters up until a year ago were $30. Many of us cried when the cost went to $50 but even at that...
I take we are talking about S&W's. Run that screw in and snug it down. Smith's have the best triggers out there. I've never seen one that I thought was anything other than just right. Don't fix something that ain't broke.
Sit there are at least five people, the number who have responded up to this point, have heard and or have first hand knowledge on the subject. As has already been noted; most if not all owners manuals advise to clean and proplerly lubricate all or any new firearm. Should you not know this; if...
Yes, It was not a wise thing to do. Anything in the barrel and or firng chamber can significantly raise the pressures throughout the barrel. The barrel can rupture destroying the gun, removing digits, or bad powder burns, to in your case blowing the bolt back into you face. I suspect that...
That statement is true about a lot of things. Compare a car to a tractor-trailer truck and it takes a long time to stop a train also. The lists go on.... I can tell you something else; I ain't standing at that range and let you shoot nothing at me... not for long.:D
What about a used "K" frame ie a model 19, 66, or one of the fixed sight K's. Still a 6 shooter justa tad lighter. Actually I prefer the "K" over the "L" frame. But my middle name is dinosaur.
If the Brillo pad is steel, the answer is yes. The black powder residue is not an issue unless you were to shot that thing for 100 years without cleaning. Now is shooting soft lead, that's a horse of a different color; it can build up and foul the face of the cylinder and the forcing cone. If...

The former sheriff of Knox County TN did not allow his deputies to open carry while off duty. We changed sheriffs a year or so ago and I haven't heard what the new administration policies are. I am not LEO but have acquaintencies who are.
The .32WCF or .32-20 were produced as rifle round. In the day when they were popular S&W produced a revolver to fire the round as an accompaning gun. The round by defination was a black powder round and as such the new powders produce excessive pressure. Your gun was made prior to the time...
