  1. Taurus and why do you all hate them.

    No Taurus hate here...bonifide deer slayer:

    Need some help identifying the model and value of this S&W .38 snub

    Nah...looks like faded case hardening to me. Just based on the area right where the trigger enters the gun. But then again that could be a lighting thing as well...

    Need some help identifying the model and value of this S&W .38 snub

    I can't see anything in the picture other than it is a shrouded hammer J-frame with a somewhat shiny finish. I can use lighting to make a blued gun look like nickel, and a nickel gun look blued. And since I am neither a historian nor a J-frame aficionado...I will take my buddy :LH's advice and...

  4. Pre or post lock revolvers?

    I only have two guns with locks in them (which are obviously superior to the ones without locks :rolleyes: ) 386 Night Guard (my usual carry gun - lock completely disabled) 627 V-Comp (lock still completely functional...)

  5. Pre or post lock revolvers?

    Neither one of those will ever have the dreaded "cracked forcing cone" that you are so proud of throwing at us Smiff guys. The snub nose is a 686-3...the nickel gun is a 5" 27-2. The barrel of a 27-2 is exactly the same except for bore as the one installed on a Model 29...which is a 44 mag...

  6. Pre or post lock revolvers?

    Man...I guess my safe is full of obsolete worthless chunks of metal... I hate it when that happens... Sent from my XT1254

  7. Pre or post lock revolvers?

    I've owned pre-lock and post-lock Smiths and Tauri...and have never had a lock-related problem. I did take the one out of my carry gun...but that's because I don't even want to chance a malfunction on that gun. As to the quality aspect - particularly of S&W - I think modern manufacturing...

    Classic wheel gun porn....

    I know I have not posted this...since before yesterday I didn't have a picture of this gun. But now I do, so here it is: Never mind the pig towel...a joke among friends. S&W Model 37-2...lightweight, black anodized, and supposedly only available in 1992 with the factory white markings on...

  11. Smith&Wesson Experts. I need some help.

    Not exactly...the 27 frame and barrel tops are checkered, not grooved. Sent from my XT1254

  12. Smith&Wesson Experts. I need some help.

    True...but I have a couple of never-fired Smiths, and one of them has some weird gaps as well. Only the gun itself knows what it is...and it ain't talkin'...:lol:

  13. Smith&Wesson Experts. I need some help.

    I'd venture to guess it probably left the factory as a 29...so it should have been recorded that way. At least I hope that is the case for you. But sometimes things slip through the cracks with those guys...but those 'slips' are probably rarer than the mismarked guns... Contacting them is the...

  14. Smith&Wesson Experts. I need some help.

    OP - I looked at the picture, and I have an educated guess. It looks like a restruck 28-2 frame used to build a 29-2 to me. I might be wrong...Lord knows it would not be first time. But it look like S&W probably had a previously struck 28-2 frame, but needed to build a 29-2 to fill an order...

  15. Stupid anal 1911 Commander holster IWB question...

    This^^^. It's what I did when I got my first 1911 - a 4" Kimber gun. Within a month I ended up picking up a 4.25" RIA as well...it took me 8 weeks to get my custom holster...

  16. What condition code to you carry a 1911?

    Condition 1...and I've never seen a holster that covers the safety like the one posted here. Bad design...

  17. Free FFL for ODT?

    My never-fail go-to...good people, no drama. Except they are only open 2 Saturdays a month...but hey, I can work around that.

  18. How many different caliber do you have?

    What's a caliber? Like the Dodge? In that case, none.

  19. Recent events change your habits or what you carry?

    Nah...not really. I just upgraded from a 380 to a 45 for my car gun...but the current chain of events really had nothing to do with it.

    What are your thoughts on pocket carry?

    I used to carry my Smith J-frame in my front pocket with a DeSantis Nemesis pocket holster. Worked very well... Even with the exposed hammer, I could have that little revolver presented quicker than most people would believe...just as quick as pulling my wallet out.
