Sorry if this is a "simple" question. If the 442 and the 642 are the same gun, (different color), is there a difference in any quality because the barrell is made from different materials? Or is that simply to obtain the different colors?

Cleaning information I am hoping to tap some of the experience on this site. I have a S&W mod. 36 no dash in blue and a mod. 38 Bodyguard-no dash in nickel. The 38 is an airweight, the 36 is not. First- what is the significance of the dash (s)? Second- what can I safely use to clean both...

All the talk about the LCR has me thinking that possibly I should take a good look at them before I look for a 442/642. I guess if the appearance of the 642 is what I want, there is no issue. However the LCR is (appearance wise) similar to the 442. I am just not sure about the overall quality...

Information please Excuse my ignorance on the subject. I would like some information if I may get it. What is the difference, if any, (other than color) between the 642 and 442? Is there any difference in weight or trigger? Also, I see so many people totally against the lock. Is there a...

I have been looking for a ccw. Originally I was looking for something that can be put in a pocket for summer. I looked at a Walther ppk today. It was used, but looks to be 98+ %. What should I know about these? Are they any good? Compared to sig or beretta almost the same size? Is 355. a good...

I took my wife to the range for the first time today. She shot my ruger 22 and liked it although it is a bit heavy and with the target grip it was not very comfortable-- however she did very well. She also tried my ruger gp100 with 38-- too much gun for her. She tried my sig 228-- no way...

Thanks for your input. I did buy the colt. The trigger just felt so much better, and it was a comfortable gun to hold. I may try to get some thinner grips though. It has the original black rubber grips-- kind of thick compared to the thinner Springfield. I want to keep it stock, so I may...

I have been looking for a 3.5 or 4 in 1911. I am going to look at two tomorrow. One is a Colt. It was made in 2000, according to the seriel #. It is a 3.5 in called a compact. The other is a Springfield. About 6-7 yrs old. It is a 4 in. Not sure of the name. It could be a compact or a champion...

I am supposed to pick up my new sa mil spec ww11 tomorrow. Is there anything specific to look for before I pay for it? What does it come with? Any advise? Thanks

I called Colt today with the serial number and they told me that this was manufactured in 94 and was definately a series 80. Is that good, bad or neither? I am not sure what the actual value is.

I was in the store the other day to try and compare a ww11 mil spec to a regular mil spec SA. All hey had was the ww11 and I am not really sure if it felt good. Could have been the gritty trigger? Anyhow, they had a used colt 1991 series 80. It appeared to be in good shape. They said that it was...

I looked at two guns today and need to decide, hopefully they will both be available. Ruger MK11 51/2 in (I think) bull barrel, appears to be in excellent shape. The man at the gun shop said that it doesn't appear to have been shot more than 500 rounds. It has a set of wooden grips with a...

Thank you very much. I found it.

I have tried smith-wesson.forum.com several times. It does not appear to exist.Any other thoughts? Thanks in advance.

are there any web sites that are specific to S&W? I see some of the other manufacturers are represented but buried in different forums. Where do I find web sites for S&W, RUGER, SA?

S&W 66 or 686 I have just bought a Ruger GP100, 4 in. adjustable site, full lug-- but have not had the opportunity to shoot it yet. I have not owned a revolver before, but find them very interesting. When I was looking at them I really liked many things about the S&W, but found the Ruger first...

I just purchased my first revolver. A ruger GP100. It was used but had only about 100 rounds through it. It was traded in as I was standing there. It looks and feels new. SS with a 4 in. barrel, full shroud and adjustable rear site. I have not shot it yet. My concern isd that I was looking at...
