    Need hammer for s & w flat latch j frame

    Somewhere in the pre model number guns they went from a ball type hammer strut to a forked type. You will need to get the correct hammer for your strut, or replace both parts. The ball type was prone to breakage.

    I notice now most of us older guys (50+)

    I'm 29 and I carry a pre-37 Airweight everyday. Several years of lugging a SIG P-220 around got old. As to why one would pay as much for a Ruger as a Glock :neener:

    how important is a sixth shot?

    Let me say this: I've gone from carrying a Sig P220 for the last 5 years to a pre-37 S&W Airweight. I don't feel "undergunned" by any means. If I really felt there was a great chance I'd need a sixth shot, or a sixteenth for that matter........I'd be carrying around my RRA Entry Tactical.

    S&W Model 29 Question

    Assuming you're holding the firearm away from you, as if you were shooting it(unloaded of course), a barrel canted to the left has been overtightened. Rotating it to the right (still looking at it from the rear) will be cracking it loose. If by "to the left" you mean as you're looking down...

    32 Winchester CTG

    The hammer and trigger shouldn't be blue. S&W only case-color hardened them. That, coupled with the nickel plating, means it's probably a refinish. Does it have target sights? Can you post a pic?

    Sporterizing CAN be taken too far

    It needs a banana clip. Not quite sure why, perhaps for cap storage.......

    What are your criteria?

    Any firearm good enough to serve the US Military in the last hundred years (save for the Chauchaut) is good enough for me. 1903/03A3 M1 Garand M1 Carbine M14/M1A M16/AR15 family M1911A1 S&W J & K frame revolvers (Never cared for the Colt DA revolvers) Sig Sauer P226 & 228 Beretta M92...

    Romy G Coming together :)

    Matching Romanian "G" AKM kit and OOW receiver. I've also got the Tapco gas piston and trigger group so far for 922 parts, I'm thinking of adding an SEI Vortex to that list as well. Notice I've removed the foregrip and refinished the forend with Chestnut Ridge "dark walnut" military stock stain...

    If Glock made the 19 in a single stack would you buy it?

    Nope. P225 all the way. Now a single stack full size 10mm or .45.................

    Where do gunsmiths come from?

    I started apprenticing with my father when I was 11 or 12, my first job being the detail cleaning of a 91/30 Mosin. Since then, excluding a break in the Air Force, I've worked part time with him until January of 2007. Since then, I've been doing repairs and restorations side by side with my ol'...

    To add to what the above have said, a lot of material needs to be removed from a square butt to convert it. See thread: http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=409390&highlight=carry+progress
