    Herters

    Many years ago I wandered into their NYC store and actually bought a shirt that was on sale. it was extremely well made. That may have been about the time - long long ago - that I had a Christmas job at another high end store nearby, Lord & Taylor. I liked that job!

    S&W service - they don't answer the phone...and then it gets worse!

    The only way I was able to get anyone on the phone at S&W was through the operator, not "customer service". They don't answer that number at all, at least they didn't when I was calling them. I didn't try email.

    S&W service - they don't answer the phone...and then it gets worse!

    Naturally. Murphy's Law, like when something is haywire with your car but when you show it to the mechanic it's not doing it. I wait on the S&W customer service line 15 minutes, 17 minutes, until i finally hang up and dial the operator. This guy gets through right away. :cuss:

    S&W service - they don't answer the phone...and then it gets worse!

    My knife buffing compound should do then (link below). How easy would it be to overdo it and mess up the cylinders?

    S&W service - they don't answer the phone...and then it gets worse!

    I have buffing compound (for sharpening knives). Will that be good?

    S&W service - they don't answer the phone...and then it gets worse!

    Did customer service answer the phone when you called - or did you have to use my dial operator trick to get through?

    The sound of gunshot

    Yeah, or worse. But when I'm camping out in the wilderness and hear gunshots at night that's what i think and it makes me very nervous.

    The sound of gunshot

    Home and rental apartment builders are buying up ranches and farms all over the country, here in AZ too. I am, of course, pro second amm., but I wouldn't like to live in a place with constant gunfire - most especially if it happened in the middle of the night - because then not only would it...

    I sent the S&W customer service supervisor the link to this thread.

    S&W service - they don't answer the phone...and then it gets worse!

    Jewelers's rouge? Where exactly would you put that in the cylinder? How can I make the extractor easier to push? I read that their newest slightly heavier fully enclosed hammer (but I like the single action on my 317 even tho the hammer is ard to grip!) aluminum gun, the model 34C, also has...

    Ruger NYCPD Speed Six 3" 38 spl GS-83(?)

    We used to go to Rodman's Neck too, At that time we carried the 2" Colt Detective Special. I had an old model, made in 1958 I think.

    Grab and go gun

    If you carry a gun every day of your life you figure the one time you don't that's when you'll need it...and that's the way it works too...and it's happened to me too...part of Murphy's Law i think!

    Grab and go gun

    I really like that one, but can i totally trust it? I worry about small semi-automatics as a defensive weapon, so more often than not I'll take the S&W .38 instead. It's about the same size. How reliable has yours been?

    Ruger Lcp 2 lite slide 22

    I'm just going by what i read about these earliest models jamming. If you can get it to work reliably it will be interesting. I like Ruger's LCP and i i still carry their first and second models (I've lost track of what they call them). I find them to be very reliable (knock on wood head)...

    S&W service - they don't answer the phone...and then it gets worse!

    A note was enclosed with a person's name. It said there was "excess lead in the barrel". Guess I'll have to do a better job cleaning the barrel on this residue accumulating aluminum .22. I've been running a bore snake with some cleaning fluid through it. I'll be more diligent. Then it said...

    S&W service - they don't answer the phone...and then it gets worse!

    I received the gun back today and just tested it. I was expecting the worst but i am pleasently surprised. Shot 80 rounds - 10 loadings - Winchester 555 white box bulk ammo. Two failures to fire. Cylinders hard to eject after first two loads, but doable. And it kept on shooting without...
