OK. I took the grip off and the strain screw was indeed about half a turn loose. I tightened it. Also, I had taken the grip off from my previous shooting to clean and polish the areas that you really can't get to very well (along the edges of where the grip fits) so its possible I tightened the...

One thing about the hand loaded ammo is that they sure smoked like hell. When I changed ammo there was no smoke at all. What you said about grit, dirt, etc. under the ejector makes sense. But being a new shooter, what exactly is the strain screw? As to the other post, what is forcing cone...

I have a new 686. Last week I put about 100 rounds through it and got home to clean it and the cylinder would not close. Several posts said it the extractor rod was loose. I never felt it loose but kept messing with it and the cylinder closed. Today I went to the range and after 6 rounds the...

yes, exactly!

I am trying to decide on the Ahrends grips for my 686. I just can't seem to find a good picture of a 686 with the combat tactical finger groove SQUARE BUTT. I would love to see some pictures of a 686 with retro combat and tactical combat square butts. By the way, I misspelled finger in the...

It has been recommended from several different posters that Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel Ammunition 38 Special +P 135 Grain Jacketed Hollow Point is an excellent self defense load for my 649. I bought a box from G&R Tactical and it arrived today. The box does not look anything like the box on...

Labhound: I lost something somewhere. When I brought up the website, there was some kind of message waiting, I thought I hit all the right buttons, but nothing ever came up.

Labhound: Right now I think the best way to go is with the way you have done it. The only alteration I might make is to have another set of railroad ties on each side making the walls twice as long as yours. That way the targets would be enclosed as well. I will not get this done anytime...

Labhound: I just called a rental place and got some prices on a bobcat that would have a fork lift attachment. $232.00 for a day, kind of expensive but doable. I have a couple more questions for you. I assume that's dirt making up the backstop. I was going to use sand as I have read it would...

Labhound: What did you use to stack the railroad ties? How did you get the dirt in there that high as a dump truck isn't going to be able to dump dirt seven feet high.

I think what Shadow was saying is that there are no absolutes in this life. No matter how safe you think something is, the unexpected can, and does, happen. Murphy's law and all that. From what I have seen in all the posts so far is that safety is in the eye of the beholder. I think one poster...

Quote: "Some" (cops) have an elitist attitude. Really now. And define irate. This has all the markings of BS." Unfortunately, this is too true. You would think law enforcement would be on the side of law abiding citizens to defend themselves, but not true. I know of no police department that...

Thanks, Art. Of course there would never be an incident of using a firearm unless it was indeed a life threatening situation. My fear is going to jail even over a righteous shoot. If there is fear or doubt over any given scenario, that hesitancy may be all that is necessary to lose one's life...

lol, andrewstorm. I hear that. No, I was not denied a purchase permit to buy a gun. However, I was told by sheriff deputy just today if I had a misdemeanor assault and battery against me, even if it was 37 years ago, to forget trying to apply for a ccw permit. He said I should try to expunge my...

Thanks for all the info. Just found out today from the sheriff's office there are no restrictions in my county as far as having a home range on your own property other than being responsible for stray bullets, of course. I was kind of concerned about that, some counties have ordinances that you...

My wife is, in fact, proficient with her own handgun (s&w 649). I guess my thinking on my question is that if there were ever an instance where our lives needed to be defended, I would rather have the responsibility of the shooting on me, not my wife. To me, that is part of being a good husband...

Can anyone address these two scenarios? 1. My wife has a concealed carry permit and I don't. We have a concealed gun in the car. I am driving. For what ever reason, we get pulled over and searched by the police. As long as she has her permit, does it matter who is behind the wheel? Are we...

I'm almost 60 and just bought my first two handguns. A S&W 649 for my wife and a 686 4 in. barrel for me. Been going to the range and loving it. The world has changed drastically since I was coming up. It's a dangerous place out there and one had better be prepared to defend him/her self.

Thanks for the video link. I ordered a box of these from G & R Tactical this morning. 30 dollars for a box of 50.
