    Picked up a new S&W 646

    Ok, thanks Tamara, thanks Majic. I knew the diff between the L- and N- frames, but din't know if the cylinders were diferent sizes or not. Do either of you know of a source for these clips that is cheaper than moonclips.com's price of $34.95/10?

    Picked up a new S&W 646

    Just got my 646 out of lay-away today. Can't wait to shoot it! :cool: I have one question you folks might be able to answer: will the M610 moon clips work, or do I have to get the M646-specific jobbers? Cheers, Ed S.

    Picked up a new S&W 646

    I have one of these on layaway at Darr's in Chattanooga. It is lightly used, probably fewer than 200 rounds. Does $445 after taxes/TICS sound like a good deal? I intend to have it reamed to 10mm like G33 had hers...the thought of an L-frame 10mm was just too good to pass up! Cheers, Ed S.

    Sig 228 at Local Gun Shop

    I got my P228 in Dec 2003 for $450 (not incl. tax/transfer fees). It is a LE trade-in, featuring the old K-Kote finish, one 13-rd. preban mag, SIG-Lite night sights, and box.

    Sig P220 - ProMag 10rd Mags

    The two ProMag 10-rounders I had would not function properly until I cleaned out the thick grease that's all over the springs. I sprayed them out with some of that ultra-quick-drying gun spray cleaner and now they work fine.

    blazer ammo

    To Mr. LynnKCircle: I have a .45 ACP Blazer "squib load" that was fired in my S&W M1955 Target revo a few years ago. The case is split about halfway down each side. It didn't damage my pistol, as I have seen the "squib" phenomenon before and immediately ceased fire. The bullet was driven...

    The ultimate home defense gun for women

    What about a Ruger 10/22 magnum?I would think that nine or ten rounds of CCI hollowpoints to COM would be very likely to discourage any BG ! Thanks, Thisaway

    CCI Blazer Exploding Casings?

    I have fired thousands of 9mm, .40, 10mm, and .45 Blazers over the past 10 years and have had only ONE bad experience. I had a .45 "squib load" in my S&W 25-2. The case split about halfway from the mouth to the base of the hull and drove the bullet about 2-3 inches into the barrel (6.5-inch)...

    Your favorite 10mm?

    My fave is my Glock 20. Twelve years old, and going on 10000 rounds...and still ticking!

    Beretta Tomcat Inox in a DeSantis "Trickster" pocket holster. :scrutiny:

    What the fudge is this huge revolver???

    I can't recall the manufacturer... ...but there was (is?) a company which makes revolvers chambered for the .45-70 Gov't rifle cartridge. The pic looks like other pics I've seen of such. Quite esoteric.

    Who owns a Mosin-Nagant?

    I have two One beautiful M1891 1917-vintage Tula ($110), and a M91/30 1943-vintage Izhevsk ($65). Surprisingly, the 91/30 seems to be the better shooter, even though it is literally as rough as a cob.

    Shooting "Brown Bess."

    I believe what Jim Keenan meant to say was "improperly hardened frizzen face". The frizzen actually produces the spark when struck by the flint held in the hammer. Freudian slip there. ;)

    Do you carry an extra mag with your mouse gun?

    Just like seeker_two and Smoke, I carry an extra mag for my mousegun (Beretta Tomcat) in case the primary mag fails.
