I recently picked up a 6" Python and took it to the range yesterday for the first time. Shoots very nicely. So I want to clean it and would like to pull the crane/cylinder like I do with the S&W revolvers. Is the procedure the same as with the Smith, loosening the screw on the right hand side of...

I bought a S&W M-27-2 from an internet vendor. Received it yesterday. The FFL dealer who had it brought in for me said that the way the bbl shroud met the frame, the shroud is ever so slightly skewed and you can see light, indicated to him that it was rebarreled. I brought it home and got out...

I'm considering another mouse gun and the night sights add approximately another hundred bucks. I have them on one pistol but TBH I've yet to fire a pistol in the dark. A friend told me that once there is a muzzle flash you won't see them anyhow .... is that accurate ? Anyhow, am I better off...

I had been carrying this S&W 340PD for years. Usually in my trouser pocket, sometimes with a pocket holster and sometimes without one. The black finish is shiny on the sharp edges where it rubbed the pocket. So I am now carrying a Kahr or a Sig and want to sell this revolver. I don't want to...

Fellow has a one owner Delta 10mm blue in good shape. A Gold Cup I might add and made in '91. It is lets say 95% or maybe better finish wise and all original. He says that it has had about 1 to 2 thousand rounds through it. He is looking to get $1,000.00 for it. Is that a fair asking price under...

As the title says, I'm going to get a 1911 series 80. I am undecided as to whether I want a stainless or a blue. I remember when they first came out they had some problems with the slide/frame galling with the stainless. IIRC the fix was to use two different alloys of stainless ? One for the...

I've got two late model Smiths with the lock. I've been reading the thread on disabling the lock with interest. So far my 340PD and my 386PD haven't locked up with 357 ammo or +Ps. Has anyone on the forum actually had the lock tie up their Smith when firing ? Not "heard" about it or read about...

I'm thinking about a Kahr M40 or MK40. There is one on GB that is listed as the Elite '98 and the seller wants as much as a new one. It appears to be lightly used. I've done some searches and some reading already. What I want to know is if there is any reason why an Elite "98 would be 'better'...

I had a Delta Elite in the '90s and sold it once I heard that they were suffering from cracked frames. I bought a Glock 20 and didn't look back until lately. Now I want to buy another DE but I want blue, not stainless so I will have to go for an older one. Anyone know if there is a serial #...

I gave S&W customer service a call yesterday to clarify whether Hoppe's Nitro Solvent was alright for the scandium PD revolvers. I already had the 340PD and just bought and paid for the 386PD. The 386PD is plenty good shooting with 158 grain 357magnum rounds. The gun is light but the recoil is...

I realize that there are far better choices but times are hard and $ few and far between. I own this lock box here and can get it out of my van and anchor it within my condo. It has a simple padlock but it is recessed so no worries about bolt cutters or prybars. I imagine an electric drill would...

Doing a search about gun locks in smiths I ran up on a thread on S&W Ti/scandium revolvers. The quote below caused me to do something I hadn't done in 7 years of owning my 340PD. Read the manual. :rolleyes:

I did forum searches, google searches and read up on the Kahr PM9 for days. When a co-worker got back to work from a 2 week vacation I went by work on my day off to look at his PM9. Then I went to the gun store. They had a P9 in the case and next thing I knew I was filling out the papers and...

I have always cleaned my centerfire revolvers and semi autos after firing them even once until I got my Glock 23. I have gone years between cleaning it because that butt ugly thing is like a hammer or a screwdriver to me and it has always worked. I don't clean my K22 revolver every trip either...

They run like a clock. Well gentlemen I didn't want to post until I had kicked the tires and drove it around the block but yesterday I went down to the LGS and he had just gotten in a Sig P238 SAS. For those not familiar with it the SAS is the Sig custom shop melt down where they knock the sharp...

I'm a 61 year old shooter, NRA life since '76 and popped many a cap in the last 40+ years. I have been carrying a S&W 340PD daily for a number of years because of the light weight. It is a bear with the 357mag round so I use the 38+P in my daily carry. A friend made me aware of the Sig p238 and...
