    New M37 - Is small amount of cylinder play ok?

    Hello: I have one of those new M37's from RSR that everyone is talking about. I have not purchased a new Smith revolver in a while. I noticed a very (and I mean very) small amount of play in the cylinder when the trigger is held back. The play is side to side and there is no play at all when...

    ok to shoot +p in non +p gun?

    Looking to buy a new in box model 37 with an older frame (not +p rated and probably from the mid 90's). Would it be ok to occasionally shoot +p .38 ammo in this gun (maybe 25 rounds a year)?

    New M37's from RSR not +p rated?

    Well this issue really confuses me. I can see that some have called Smith inquiring if it would be ok to use +p ammo in the new M37's that have come out with non MIM parts, bobbed hammer and no internal lock.

    Backup gun - Enclosed hammer or Bobbed hammer?

    Hello: I have a 642-2 that I originally bought for a backup gun to wear while on duty in a bullet proof vest holster. I am considering trading it for a new Smith & Wesson model 37 with a bobbed hammer. The 642 has the internal lock, and the M37 does not. That, aside from the finishes and hammer...

    Bobbed hammers?

    I am looking at a model 37 with a bobbed hammer. It will be used as a backup gun in a bullet proof vest holster or ankle holster. I have never owned a revolver with a bobbed hammer - any disadvantages to having a bobbed hammer? Will it affect the reliability of the gun? Thanks

    Need advice on IWB holster for JFrame

    Hello: My 340PD needs an IWB. I had a Don Hume which I did not like because it pushed the gun up too high making it easy for it to fall over and out of the holster. Any suggestions? Thanks

    642's stainless cylinder - big reason to buy 642 over 442?

    OK - I know I posted a "642 or 442" thread earlier, but I want to be more specific and ask why a stainless steel barrel would be that much better than the one on the 442. As mentioned, I will be carrying 99% of the time in a bullet proof vest holster. I live in Connecticut so it can get hot...

    Anyone have any info on these. How well are they constructed? How about capacity - how many guns could the case hold? I have a G19, G27 and S&W 340PD that I want to be able to store in the case. Any feedback on V-Line or another safe is much appreciated. Thanks.

    Is a new S&W 442 worth $100 more than a new 642?

    When I decided to get a 642 I called my dealer and he gave me a very good price on a new in box 642 ($30 over wholesale). So I asked him what the price was on a NIB 442 and he told me the same price. So I went to see him today to order the 442 and he told me that he had made a mistake and that...
