    Anybody else out there addicted?

    I think of the scene in Tremors (1990) when Michael Gross' and Reba McIntyre's characters are about to get whacked by the Graboid, and the camera pans to the basement wall to reveal a whole arsenal. You should hang your guns up the same way!

    How do you prefer to carry extra revolver ammo, a speed strip or a speed loader?

    Speed strips or Speedloaders? Hmm Speed strips are good for the range, but they take quite a few very deliberate motions to complete. Eject shells from cylinder, whip out speedstrip, and while keeping your focus on the gun and removing your danger scanning abilities, line up cylinder, pluck in...

    J frame grips, refinishing

    Okay here's the deal, I have a SW 649 that Ive jazzed up a bit with a red ramp sight and a high viz rear site. I have a few different grips for it - the stock grips (Uncle Mike's?) that a filed down to a two-finger, "442 Airweight" type grip, a Pachmayr Gripper target full grip, and a vintage...

    Uncle Mike's Grips

    S&W J Frame grips I have three types of grips for my S&W 649. The 3-groove Uncle Mike's grips came with it when I bought it used in 2006. They are comfortable and permit a solid hold on the gun. I dont like the tapered shape however. Last year I bought some old-school "1960s-era detective...

    S&W hibernation woes

    I own a Smith & Wesson 649 and Iver Johnson Target-8 Sealed and I stored them for 4 months in a basement. Today I recovered them and DAMN! There was some oxidation on the barrel of the old, 60s-era Iver Johnson .22 cal. No big deal, I filed it off with a wire brush, and it seems to still be in...

    Why a .38 snubbie?

    RD rancher's post rdrancher mentioned something about the AirLite J Frames being constructed of "unobtanium", and I immediately thought of lame science fiction movies where the characters spew out all sorts of made-up elements and metals, usually along with tons of technical terms ("the reactor...

    S&W 649 rubber and original grips Here's my S&W 649-5. Manufacture date unknown, but it's newer than the shorter barreled Model 49 Bodyguard and probably no more than 6 years old. Anyway, I have some light custom work done to both sights (dovetail red ramp in front, rear notch painted with...

    S&W 649 Speedloader

    wep45 and his 649 I own a S&W 649 as well! Gotta love that weird curved hump... at any rate your question is about speedloaders, and I have the answer as far as my taste goes. I chose the HKS for a few reasons: theyre only 9-10 dollars per, smaller than the Safariland III, and because I have...

    Charter Arms Bulldog: My experience so far

    landric - I own a S&W 649 stainless and I have an suggestion for you... My blaster came with a meh black ramp, and I had my gunsmith dovetail a red ramp/Day-Glo into it, and aiming is awesomely better. I believe your Charter .44 front sight is integral to the barrel, as well as much smaller, but...

    S&W Model 49

    The Bodyguard J_Frame rules! Got to love the original SW 49, the Airweight 638, and the big older brother... I own a S&W 649, made in 1994 (if I am interpreting the ###9394 serial number correctly, but I'm probably not) and I'm very happy with it. The best part about it, and I'm sure any owner...

    Revolver Picture Thread of All Time

    S&W 649 and Iver Johnson Target Sealed-8 Hello! I am new to this forum. Here are my two blasters. The first is my S&W 649 Bodyguard, manufacture date of 1994. I had my local armorer file the front sight and install a red ramp insert. It truly improves the accuracy quite a bit! This gun can be...
