    My first revolver

    The Model 10 was my first revolver and I still love shooting it. Accurate, fun, looks great, what's not to love?

    S&W 640 - changing sights

    Hi Folks - I've got a S&W 637 Airweight, and it is a fine little snubbie. But I find myself doing more IWB than pocket carry, so I've been kinda coveting a S&W 640. The 637 has crimson trace, which is fine in dark conditions but not much use at the outdoor range where I usually shoot. I'd get...

    Light .38 Special

    Storm - took my 2 daughters out to shoot (22 and 18) Saturday and their favorite was the Model 10 with wadcutters. We all had a great time. They didn't care for the S&W 637, even with wadcutters. I think I've got couple shooters coming along!

    Any Fans of the old .38Spl?

    S&W 637 with 38SPL in my pocket, and I have a Model 10 from the late '50s for shooting at the range and keeping in the house. Great round, the 38! Fun to shoot, suits my needs.:D

    Decisions, Decisions - S&W 637 or Ruger SP101-LG

    "I would say that if you will carry in your pocket, get the S&W. If you are going to carry on your belt or IWB, get the Ruger." - Adam Sean +1 on that!

    New England runs SHTF drills....

    Lessons from the NE Ice Storm It's about how your house is set up. If your heating with wood or coal, one big problem solved if you have plenty of wood on hand. If not, you can run your furnace on a small portable generator pretty easily. If you want heat, some lights and an operating...

    Why does a .22 airweight cost more than a .38 airweight?

    My first gun was the 317 in 3" and I really like it. It has also been a great gun to take first time shooters out with. It is bigger than you might think, though. My 637 pretty much disappears into a pocket, and you can't do that with the 317 as easily. It WAS more expensive than my 637, but...

    best non +p .38 spl for older gentleman's snub

    "Personally I prefer Hornady 140 grain HP/XTP as a better compromise of fps and bullet weight..." I second the Bushmaster - it's in my j-frame 637 right now.

    SW 637 (38) vs. Ruger SP101

    I think the Smith is a tad high, but you are in a state (like mine) where the prices run high. I have a 637 and I've used an SP101. The 637 is great for putting in your pocket and keeping it with you (which is what I do). If I were just going for home defense and those were my 2 choices, I'd...

    CCW Revolver... thoughts?

    I have an Air weight 637. I also have an old Model 10 S&W. The weight difference is big, with the 4" model 10 more than twice the weight of the 637 and correspondingly "easier" to shoot (less recoil, keep the muzzle down for the next shot etc.) That being said, the 637 is fine with non-plus P...

    My New Smith & Wesson 637

    Great little gun Great pictures, BTW! I've had a 637 for about a month. Easy to carry, and I love the looks of a snubby. Really my first carry gun. Light, but once you've put a couple hundred rounds through it, it's fine. Mine has the crimson trace grips - I like them a lot, but practice...
