Just thought I would share that I just shot my new 686P this evening, very smooth. I really like the feel. The trigger action is smooth as can be, really. Using .357 packs a bit of a punch but nothing like my 642! Using .38 is easy shooting...not much recoil at all really. Great feel and...

Hi, I have a new 642 I picked up a couple days ago. Now, I realize the clear-coat finish might require special care. SW tells me the finish is better than a couple years ago and that the issue is the use of ammonia. (Not to use it and it is in the manual I am told but have not looked yet for...

Hi, I am thinking about a new 638 or 642 but would like to know about the clear-coat issue. I searched but only seemed to find issues back in 2004-2005. SW apparently dropped the price to sell them...now, do the new guns have the same issue or have they figured it out a bit better? SOme say...

Hi Guys, since the forum is rich in info, you guys can help. I am looking for a small framed (like a 'baby' glock G30) pistol. Since I live in MA, I cannot purchase a glock, and alot of others either such as SA. So, could I get some opinions on other smaller type semi's? Does Ruger make...

OK, I live in a state where the AG has something against Glocks. Yes, I know. Anyway, what are the implications of me, say, having my brother buy a NIB Glock, try it out, perhaps decide he dislikes it then mail it to me? Now, we both have LTC's in our respective states. The hangup is MA...

Hi all! I have a new Sig P220R and would like a standard holster, OWB. I would love a spring clip so I could just pop it on and off without wearing a belt. I know it is a bt heavy, but is there such a thing? I have an accumold for my 686+...but it requires a belt. I suppose I could start...

Hi, I thought I would let you folks know that the S&W center in Springfield has a NIB 5 inch 686+ with wood grips. Quite nice actually, although I was looking at the 2.5" and 4" inch...the 5" and the 6" were just getting too big, so I got the 4" (as if it is tiny :D ). The reason I am...

Ok, I know there are a ton of opinions regarding 22's. I (and my son) handled the Savage MARK II-FSS the other night, felt really nice. Looks like a quality item and I have read good things here to some extent. What are your opinions of this rifle? The owner of the shop we went to said...

Alright, went and pik up a NIB 686+ (4inch) for 541 (tax inlcuded). Feels and looks great. I think I will really enjoy this. This fits well in my hand and feels really solid. One question though, when I shake up or dwn or side to sid I can hear a little loose rattle, not real loud. For...

So after discussing this with some of you...apparently the 2.5 inch barrel will cause a loss of velocity in the 357. Does anyone have an estimate? I have poked around the net for a while this morning and have an estimate of ~10-20% drop in velocity from 4 to a 2.5 inch barrel. So, what...

Hi Guys, I am just trying to narrow my choice down...what are your thoughts on the 686, 686+...what barrel length. I want a .357, but I also want to carry it in my pocket. I was looking at the 60 and 649, but I think it may be better to move up to the K frame if I wish to shoot much 357...

Ok, so after many commnets and some research I think I will pass on the 637-638 and 642 and go for a 60 or 649. Now I need to know from those that have these whate you like about them and what you do not like (apart from the shrouded hammer). I have large hands so this is an easier choice for...

Normally I would only post once, but since the sale ends soon...if this is not cool havve the mod revove the post. I apologize in advance...I am new here. Thanks Hi, I just returned from the SW columbus day sale...below are the revolvers I am leaning towards (all NIB)...and the price...

Hi, I just returned from the SW columbus day sale...below are the revolvers I am leaning towards (all NIB)...and the price. Basically all their new guns are 29% off list (catalog price). And they have them all in stock of course. QUESTION: do the 637, 638, and 642 have the peeling finish...

Hi guys (and gals) I am new here this week...already some great help about some of my upcoming choices. I read in my local Club newspaper that S&W is having a Columbus day Sale this weekend in Springfield MA, 299 Page Bvld. This is their sports center (company store and range). The paper...

I am new! I had a Mossberg 590 SP...parkerized, speed stock, heat shield...a few years ago, loved it. Sold it when I moved to MA. Now, I have a renewed interest (due to time) and am looking for your opinions on what shotgun to purchase. I am really leaning towards gettting another 590 SP but...

Hi guys, I am new here :) ! This is my second post. Currently I own a brand new P220 ST but as you could imagine it is tough to carry (have not even found a holster I like except for a Desantis that I need to order). I will purchase soon a .38, but since there seems to be so many opinons and...

Hi, I am new here to the forums :). I have been away from shooting for a few years and am now back to it! My 12 year old would like to shoot in my club's junior rifle program. What are you thoughts on the brand of .22LR I should get for this purpose? Thanks for the info, I have been looking...
