smith and wesson

Hi all, I just ordered 1600 rimrock 158gr lswc for my 686 smith. I've had some suggestions on the forum that 7.3gr be86 is a good load for a mid-range .357 using an extreme 158gr plated swc. Will plated load data work for lead bullets in this caliber with this bullet? I can only find data from...

Hello all, I've posted a thread before concerning h110 and over pressure signs in a smith and wesson 629-6 44 magnum with a 4 inch barrel. My current load I've worked up is 23.5gr h110, 240gr xtp, cci 350 magnum primer, starline 2x fired brass, coal 1.5925, heavy crimp, SD 19, ES 68, AVG Vel...

Hello, I'm new to the forum. This is my first post so I'm not sure I'm doing this right, bear with me please, im new to reloading. My question is: what would cause my smith 629-6, 4 inch barrel 44 mag to chronograph velocities higher than reloading manual states. My load is new starline brass...

Being a 1911 guy this has certainly caught my eye. Read a few reviews and it seems it's single action trigger is not the best. Just a thought but would it's trigger be so bad as the DA/SA trigger as I have on my CZ PCR's? https://www.smith-wesson.com/product/csx

I bought a brand new factory S&W mainspring for my Model 29-2, only to realize it doesn't work! The new spring looks near identical to the original spring, apart from it being a little more flat when not installed. I put the new spring in, and the trigger pull weight was off the charts heavy...

It has 6in pinned barrel with adjustable sights Serial no is K 193xx Despite some holster wear the internals are pristine. Does anyone have any info on this gun when it was manufactured and possible value as of May 2021? Thanks in advance.

I have a Smith and Wesson .32 Long Colt, serial number 394331 in almost mint condition. It has PAT: June 5, 1917 on the butt. I would like to know when and where it was produced and maybe it's value. Thanks everyone!

I'm on the verge of finally being able to buy my big, modern DA revolver in .45 Colt, something I've been waiting for a long time. Ruger and Smith both make good guns, and this is easily going to be the most expensive gun purchase of my life, maybe the most expensive I'll ever make (unless I...

For anyone who happens to have experience with both of these guns, which one feels better to shoot, in your opinion (trigger, recoil, grip/ergonomics, etc)? I hear that the M&P has better ergonomics and provides a better grip, and is more naturally pointable than the Glock 26. I also hear that...

I'm working on my first 38 special handloads and have some questions that I'm hoping someone can shed some light on. I've been reloading for about 5 years now and i finally got a chronograph last week to start recording velocities of my handloads and I noticed something unusual when metering...

Since I don't work in the industry, I don't have an "in" to go to SHOT Show. Whether this is unfortunate or a blessing is debatable, but like most POTG, I've always wanted to attend. Much to my delight, I discovered the NRA Sponsored (I know, I know...) "Great American Outdoor Show" in...

Let's see some S&W Revolvers

So I was perusing gunbroker today, and low and behold I found my grail gun! A 3" s&w model 10 in nickel finish, like new or very near it, in the box. Fired but not worn out yet, looked awesome. I don't actually care for nickel on most guns, but on the model 10 I truly don't mind it even though I...

hello! I’m wondering if anyone out there has any wisdom they could share about a revolver I just picked up. I have a S&W D.A.45 that I’m trying to gather info on. I know that it is not a war year model, but I don’t know much else about it. It’s serial number range is 210xxx. It also...

can anyone steer me towards info and possibly value of some old engraved Smith and Wesson fixed blade knives? There is a set of 4 with presentation boxes
