I've always preferred revolvers, I only have a couple brass flingers but I agree that revolver quality needs to be improved. I've had good luck with my S&W's except for one that had a bad barrel that needed replacing. I bought a new GP100 .22 that needed a bunch of rework to make it usable. My...

"what speed loaders are you using?" DS-10-SPEED You can get them at Revolver Supply.

It's good to hear you had a successful repair, Colt should be able to make them right in the first place.

I'm glad you clarified that.

I've been shooting S&W's DA for 50 years and never owned a Colt until this year. When I read this post I thought that's exactly how I would describe the trigger on my Colt King Cobra .22. I've been used to S&W's triggers, they seem harder to pull at first then gradually gets lighter until it...

I make them and you can get them here: Colt/Ruger/S&W loaders

I got my money back from Colt, now I have to figure out what to buy with it, maybe a new crossbow.

They say they have fixed the initial misfire issues, some people are happy with them. They replaced my first one with misfire issues, but my second one would fire out of time and split bullets in half. I returned it and they sent me a third one, I didn't accept the third one at my FFL because it...

I had this S&W .32 years ago, sold it. Now the only one I have is a modern NAA Ranger II.

I just use a blue permanent marker pen, I often use it for "witness marks" when machining parts. In the ratchet job it was just so I knew which ones were completed, the blue just wipes off the steel when done.

The "brick wall" you are referring to might not be in the trigger mechanism, it may be the hand and ratchet. I have replaced the cylinder on one of my 10 shots with a new cylinder, they come uncut. You have to file each ratchet until the hand just passes without binding. This is not something...

The set you have pictured appears to be the smaller array for the S&W 617.

The new Colt is having a rough start for me. The first one I got last fall had DA mis-fire issues, set it back, they replaced it, I had that one 1 day and sent it back because it would fire out of time without locking up, they said they are going to replace it again. I'm waiting to get my third...

I had a Big Butt grip on my S&W 627 V-Comp but I didn't like it and sold it. When I bought my early GP100 10 shot Ruger gave me a $50 credit to buy from them so I bought the rubber grip they sold. I had to do a lot of rework on my early GP to get it working nice, but now is a great shooter. I...

I wouldn't be afraid of getting out a file and sandpaper to fix the rough hammer. I bought an early GP100 10 shot .22 that had several poorly finished parts, I was in a hurry when I bought it and didn't look it over very good. The right side of the trigger guard was finished with a rat tail...

We've been shooting pins for about 25 years at our club. It started as a fund raiser for the junior rifle league and was only 2 days a year. We decided it was too much fun for only 2 days so we started a league that is on Fridays for 10 weeks in the winter. Now we have a fall and winter league...

I generally don't dry fire my revolvers but I will occasionally after cleaning just to make sure everything is OK. When I get a new .22 revolver I measure the depth of the cylinder recess (usually .035" to .040") and then measure the maximum firing pin extension with a tool I made and make sure...

Now that you asked, I just checked and it does wiggle more than my other revolvers. It also moves front to back so I would think the sight hole for the cross dowel pin must be too big.

It doesn't appear to have the extra holes like S&W has, there is one tapped hole for the rear sight and the cross pin like the Ruger has. There is one made for the GP but it's only held by 1 screw. I made my own mount for my GP100 because I didn't like the one that was available, mine uses the...

If all 3 were new out of the box the Colt is the best. My three 617's and my GP100 were pretty tough when new but now are much better after polishing, new springs and many many rounds fired. I don't think I'll change anything on the Colt, it should only get better with use. One thing the Colt...
