This is a problem i suspected when I first shot it but as I've gotten better with it I'm convinced - one specific cylinder chamber is sending a bullet high. at 25 feet the round is about 6" high give or take. The only physical problem with this gun is a worn (I think it's called a Pawl) thing...

Just got a model 36 today. Don't know what the (-X) is but its a pinned barrel without recessed cylinders and is nickel plated. It was pretty gunked up so I took off the side plate, cleaned out the gunk with rem-oil, dryed it out and then rubbed down each piece with clp. After reassembling it...

Picked up my first AR-15 today. It's a S&W MP15 chambered for .223/5.56mm. There were a lot of choices but owning several S&W revolvers I at least know who I'm dealing with so I decided to go with them. I'm currently in the process of breaking it down for an initial cleaning and have it in...

I've put maybe 1500 rounds through my 686 and dry fired it an additional 1500 times. I was cleaning it today with a brush to get some carbon build up out of the frame window when I noticed the 'ratchet' teeth, for lack of the proper technical term, were damaged. I compared to my recently...

The thread detailing my complaints is here (photos on 2nd page): http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=705474 Turn around was a week despite the fact they told me 6-8 on the phone and 2-3 in a letter I received yesterday. Of course being a lifetime warranty dash-6 gun it was free (tolls...

It would appear that the first run of Model 66 and Model 629 revolvers had pinned barrels. I'm 100% going to buy one in whenever I feel i can splurge the funds on them unless someone can dissuade me. Any problems with the "no-dash" stainless Smiths?

I have 2 'modern' S&W revolvers with canted barrels. I've already gotten a shipping label from Smith to have them examine my gun and have done everything but send it off. The more I read into the topic the more conflicted I am. Seams like half believe its absolutely unacceptable because it...

Looking for a top tier (as close I can get to that under $1500) 1911. I want it to be stainless - at least the frame, slide, and barrel unless someone can convince me why I wouldn't want that. Stainless inner workings would be a plus too though I understand springs will always be carbon steel...

Annnnnnd now .357 rounds aren't seating all the way up in the cylinder. Gunsmith thought maybe cylinder was too far back, range officer thought I had bad ammo or a high spot in the firing-pin area, but I noticed when I was back home that the rounds aren't flush and are couple thousands away...

Looking to eventually track down a .50 ae Desert Eagle. General thoughts and opinions on the stengths or weaknesses of these two finishes as applies to semi-autos? Thanks

I have a drop swivel holster for my revolvers. One of them does not have a trigger guard (Think main protagonist in 'The Walking Dead' or retro state trooper). Similar to picture in first post on page without the ammo loops - http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=48702...

Apparently a panel in the Senate is producing a bill seeking to ban semi-auto firearms. A double action revolver is cycled by the user's muscle, not recoil - so is it semi-auto like a glock, or is it considered the same as say a bolt-action rifle? I'm not worrying in this case as it won't...

Looking for a cc handgun. 6" barreled magnums dont cut it. As much as I prefer revolvers I realize quality revolvers that are concealable arent easy to come by and cocealing speedloaders is difficult. I generally like the glocks I've shot and am interested in the slim sub-compact glock 36...

Any reliable and popular bolt, lever, or other action rifles chambered in .357 or .44 magnum? I know Ruger offers bolt action rifles in these calibers - I've had a bad experience with a new revolver from them - but they did fix it. Also, can these rifles (bolt and lever) reliably cycle .38...

Im assuming whether correctly or not that if a "rifle" does not have a stock then its barrel can be less than 16". I've seen an AK variant and an AR variant "pistols" with ~12" barrels. Legality and praticality? Experiences? Thanks

I have a S&W L frame and a S&W N frame swivel holster. I don't open carry in public even though it's perfectly legal because the general populace is easily spooked and I live in a pretty crime free area. Anyway my two holsters are twins in black basketweave with brass snaps and fittings...

LGS has some for ~$1000 - online commentary seems largely positive. Thoughts and opinions? Dont own any assault rifles currently. Thanks

When my GP100 gets back from the factory I want to buy new sights for it. It's not that there is anything wrong with the ones that come standard - they just don't do well in the low light of the indoor range I frequent. Thoughts? Opinions? I was considering a 3-dot fiber optic that Ruger...

What brands do I look at for a high quality magnum (.357 or .44) single action revolver? I'm looking for something with adjustable sights. What brands are in the market? I know Ruger is and I like the looks of the few of theirs. I like the look of some of Colt's guns too but the prices (~...

Howdy, Looking to purchase a rifle in the not-so-distant future. I would like something not to far off from a WWI or WWII combat rifle. Something with wood and steel, bolt action, can be current production or used - stainless steel would be a plus if it is a current production piece. Not...
