First, and most important, do not "adjust" the strain screw. It is not an adjustment screw. One of the advantages of a S&W over other designs is that the trigger pull can be lightened without affecting the hammer strike force. Replace the rebound spring with a lighter rated one or trim the stock...

Once you have the gun in hand make sure your feedback to the seller reflects that. Sellers and buyers both have 90 days to leave feedback. I'd suggest leaving any negative feedback on the 89th day to lessen the chance of him leaving retaliatory negative for you. Be cautious about withholding...

All excellent reasons; particularly #3.

We have both Sheels and Cabela's here in SD. Both have their niche. If you're looking for a store whose primary focus is outdoor sports Sheels is a pretty good place for equipment for just about every sport. If you're looking for a store whose primary product line is ridiculously overpriced...

With regard to cast vs forged I think it depends more on the quality of the part rather than the process. I'd trust a cast frame from Ruger as much as I would a forged one from anyone else. I'd trust it a lot more than a forged one from some questionable source. Here's my reasoning: Buck...

I have a unique issue which allows me to fire a DA revolver faster than most autos. I have nerve damage in my hand that hinders my ability to extend my trigger finger. Flexion (pulling the trigger) is not affected but extending the finger to allow trigger reset is slow and, after a few rounds...

I've held the opinion for some time that manufacturers of all products have decided that that replacing the Quality Control Department with end users is far more cost effective than paying people to do the testing.

I can't remember the last time I left the house without a S&W J frame in my pocket; but then, I can't remember what I had for supper last night, either. :(

It's my understanding that some of the big-box stores here won't honor the permit and insist on doing the background check. It's their right to do so. It's my right to spend my money elsewhere. (which, working in a gun shop, I do anyway).

Check this list to see if your state's concealed carry permit exempts you from the NICS check.

That will have no effect as that information is not transmitted for the NICS check.

It has been clarified. See the answers above. You must put your actual address on the form. If it doesn't match the DL (or other qualifying govt issued photo I.D.) a govt issued document that shows the address you put on the form must be shown. Here are the instructions from the 4473 for line...

I've worked at a gun shop for years. Howland937 is correct. If the Gov issued photo ID is valid all that is needed is a document issued by a government entity (Federal, State, County, or municipal) that shows your current address. The type of supporting document (e.g. vehicle registration...

The box isn't homemade. It was a leftover box we had at the shop that came with a gun that was traded in. The inside was trash so I used wood furring strips and adhesive backed foam for the dividers.

Yep. In 1988/89/90 era the talk around any gun shop counter was "what is S&W going to come up with "this week?"

You're close but the centerfire handgun metallic silhouette competition it was designed for was chicken, pigs (actually Javelena), turkeys, and rams shot at 50, 100, 150, and 200 meters respectively. The rimfire competition was reduced size targets at 25, 50, 75, and 100. They were also made...

That can happen but a few taps on a wooden dowel down the bore resolves it.

I use CCI almost exclusively. Everything I have has to work reliably with them. That way I know I can use anything else when necessary. Some time back I accidentally dumped some CCI Small Rifle primers into the primer tray and about a dozen in I realized my mistake. Out of curiosity I loaded the...

Yep. Almost as bad as Glock. 45 - 9mm 44 - 22 LR 40 - 10mm 22 - .40 S&W 41 - .45 ACP

Leave the hammer spring alone. If you don't have the strength to pull the trigger comfortably there are three good options. 1. Work on strengthening your trigger finger. 2. A lighter rebound spring. 3. Take a half coil, or one coil off of the stock rebound spring. Don't conflate smoothness with...
