As an FYI, Alliant has issued a safety notice stating that Blue Dot should not be used in .357 magnum loads that use 125 grain bullets, or in .41 magnum loads of any bullet weight. http://www.alliantpowder.com/getting_started/safety/safety_notices.aspx

Sadly, barring some sort of lunchbox gun, all 329s have the wretched lock.

I've used HS6 for mild to moderate range loads in .38 Special, .45 Colt and .41 Magnum. I like it. I get good accuracy, and it burns pretty clean.

In my experience, ammo seems to be pretty waterproof without any special sealants. I hate to admit it, but I have more than once inadvertently run a speedloader full of .38 special ammo through the washing machine. When it happens, I shoot those rounds on the next range trip. No failures to fire...

This is a fairly widespread belief, but it is not true. The bank's safe deposit box lease agreement might restrict cash or guns, but there are no federal or state laws that prohibit any specific items from being stored in a safe deposit box. The only regulation that even comes close is from the...

Bore damage occurs not from excessive cleaning but improper cleaning. A grit-embedded cleaning rod flexing and scraping the bore or crown can degrade accuracy.

How could you forget the .41 magnum?!

Used to be I didn't like nickel, but it has grown on me. Everyone should have at least one shiny barbeque gun. Nickel S&W model 19-3 .357 Magnum Nickel S&W model 19-2 .357 Magnum Nickel S&W model 15-4 .38 Special. I bought this one shortly after my then 11 year old daughter saw...

When she was about 11 years old, my daughter saw a photo of a nickel S&W model 15 and blurted out "that is the most beautiful gun I ever saw!". I bought this one for her about 6 months later. I'm not sure when she'll get it, but probably soon. She turns 16 in a few months. The presentation case...

It all depends on the condition of the Python. If it's in VG to excellent condition, say 90% or better, then make the trade quickly, before your friend comes to his senses. You can replace the AR easily, but they aren't making any more Pythons. If he's a really good friend, you should probably...

Congrats on your "new" 19-3! According to the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson 3rd Edition, it was made in 1970.

Unfortunately, a .40 caliber K frame would be impossible to make. There is simply not enough steel in the forcing cone area. As for the titanium cylinder on the L frame 646, S&W made it out of titanium due to the relatively high pressure of the .40s&w and the thin cylinder walls left after...

I own both and love both. No matter which one you chose, you really can't go wrong. I would suggest the .41, if only because you described the .41 as being "like an itch I just can't scratch". If you don't get the .41, the itch will remain!

The Colt Officer's Match or the Smith & Wesson K38 Target Masterpiece (also known as the model 14 after 1957) in .38 Special are the iconic revolvers for Bullseye target shooting.

They are Altamont grips that have been cut down.

Because the S&W I frame is far to small for a .357

I voted for the K frame. Yes, it has it's limitations, but it makes up for them. Here is the way I look at it given the OP's parameters: intended uses in order of priority: 1. range use High volume shooting with mostly .38 Specials. The K frame shines 2. hd Very low volume shooting (I...

A 49 should have a J prefix. According to the SCSW, J7259xx puts it at 1979-1980

Quintessential

Many "accidental" shootings are disguised suicides or attempted suicides. Insurance will pay out to family for an accident, but often pays out less or not at all for suicide.
