The little J Frames can be surprisingly shootable, assuming the trigger pull is smooth (most are after they break in). A lot of it is mind over...
I'm finishing up a build using an Aero Precision upper, without the forward assist. To that, I went with a Faxon 16" mid length pencil barrel....
Background: I do not hold an FFL license of any type. I bought a Yugo M48 from a Gunbroker seller / C&R FFL 03 holder. He resides in NY and I...
Nice gun - carried a lot and shot little. But from what you describe of the cylinder notches, it sounds like the gaurds were "bogarting" the...
I don't mind frame mounted safeties, so long as they have a firm, positive "click" to them. Like the 1911 and CZ-75. The stock / entry level Hi...
While we're talking hypothetical stuff, here's one: Design the new revolver with interchangeable grips, similar to the adjustable/interchangeable...
Mine was $430 back in 2006 - granted, it is in 99% condition and came with s/n matching diamond magnas - I recall that $430 was a fair (not great)...
My 17 no dash rolled out of the S&W plant a few months before yours. I paid a moderate price for it by 2006 standards: $430. Wish I had an 18 to...
While this is something I can appreciate, I personally don't worry about losing the gun. If it saved my life, it will forever be remembered, but...
Over time, overall, I tend to suspect that a reasonably skilled revolver shooter is probably a better all around handgun shooter than someone who...
So is it drawing the spent case out of the chamber, still held by the extractor when the jam occurs? Is it trying to feed another round while...
I have a lot of favorites: #1 would be S&W revolvers in general, K, L and N frames in particular. From there? Let's see, 1873 SAAs, Ruger Six...
A lot of positives have been provided. I have nothing against the .357S really, but I can tell you why I've never owned one: Ammo is pricey...
I enjoy and carry both. Lately polymer 9s, easier on my bad back. But I prefer carrying revolvers. In 10 plus years shooting 10s of thousands...
Griz is right on, the little J Frames are actually capable of stellar accuracy. Even with the tiny 1 7/8" barrel - the bullet grips the rifling...
I don't mind shooting my S&W 642 air weight, to me, it is a good compromise between weight and controllability. Not as pleasant as say my 4" Model...
Paid $450 for this 3' 13-3 in 2012 - not a bad price at that time. Today I'm guessing is is worth $750 easily - but I'm NEVER selling it. And I...
Then again, everything is a trade off. If cost were no object and we planned for worst case, we'd all be carrying belt fed M60s - after we...
Yeah, mine has gotten better (my mom's was the same way), it has smoothed out and the striker release itself isn't as rough, but the over travel...
That would be a $600 gun in my area. Dang, pinned and recessed too! Do it do it do it!!!
