    No Dash Highway Patrolman Issue

    Udate on my no dash Highway Patrolman issue: Figured it out! It has the WRONG hammer block installed! It is too short and depending on the angle the revolver is held will slip back and catch and not allow the cylinder to be turned. I have owned this revolver for ten years with no hammer...

    No Dash Highway Patrolman Issue

    Those are nice! Mine is a 4" model in quite nice condition as well - as soon as I can figger out how to upload a picture on here I will post a pic of it. Have gotten a lot of good suggestions and advice on my problem - the confounding thing has been the switch back and forth between having...

    No Dash Highway Patrolman Issue

    Have done as thorough a visual inspection of the internals as my knowledge allows - and without removing any parts and have seen no obvious issues of any kind.

    No Dash Highway Patrolman Issue

    I'm leaning heavily toward this theory - I've messed with it off and on all day long an no problems whatsoever. In the past the issue would return at some point but so far so good this time. Thank you!

    Inexpensive 9mm?

    I own a Smith and Wesson model 3953 Double action only 9mm and I love it. My Pa bought it brand new in 1992 when he became an Undersheriff, put two magazines through it and never shot it again. I inherited this fine, like new automatic in 2006 when he passed. I own and shoot several autos...

    No Dash Highway Patrolman Issue

    Thanks for the advice Talliball - There is the slightest amount of warp - nearly imperceptible in the ejector rod of my revolver. The piece is 62 years old and it is obvious a previous owner had removed the rod with a pair of pliers at one time as the checkering at the end of the rod is mashed a...

    What is your dream revolver?

    Back in 2015 I purchased a .22LR Smith and Wesson model 18-7 Combat Masterpiece revolver from their classics line. This handgun has been an absolute DREAM - and as close to a perfect specimen of firearm as I have ever owned; The crew on shift when this revolver was built was on their A-game...

    No Dash Highway Patrolman Issue

    Without being an expert - I am heavily theorizing now that something inside that I cannot see - like oily grit or grime has gotten inside where I can't see and is gumming something up and maybe just working itself free - I'm putting it away and will check again after a week and see if laying...

    No Dash Highway Patrolman Issue

    I am a longtime revolver shooter so taking the sideplate off and looking things over doesn't present any problems, can also rule out the warped crane theory - In checking the the cylinder opening and not latching fully on closing theory, I took my revolver out of it's case and now, as has...

    No Dash Highway Patrolman Issue

    Have taken off sideplate and done a light inspection to check for any obvious (to me) signs of damage or signs of just grit or gunk that might be moving around in there - nothing I can see and I have worked the trigger/action upside down, sideways, while shaking the whole gun etc. The wear on...

    No Dash Highway Patrolman Issue

    Greetings all, I am a brand new member and am hoping to get some ideas or advice about an issue I am having with my S&W Model 28 no dash Highway Patrolman revolver: When I attempt to slowly pull the trigger in DA mode, or slowly thumb cock, I get about a 1/4in of movement and then solid lock...
