I have a chance to pick up a used 649 in excellent condition in a .38 for under $300. What is the weight difference in the gun between the .38 model vs. the magnum? Will it handle .38's as well as the new 649, and which would be the better gun to use? Thanks.

I'm thinking of getting a pair for my new snubby 686. Does anyone have grips by Spegel? How do they hold up and do they make the recoil harsher? Thanks.

Just curious, what's everyone's choice for barrel length on their magnum?

My local shop has a 649 .38 Special ala0xxx $299.95 stainless with shrouded hammer and a 649-3 .38 Special CCD3xxx $329.00. I'm not sure what these guns would look like or the weight (I know they're the hump back but it's the size - the same as 642?). At the moment, money is tight with a move...

I'll be moving from my home to a condo in the same city. The place is still being built so when do we say something and to whom?

My shop informed me that there's a consumer special from S&W coming May 1st. I'll probably get them both at some point, but want to get one of them during this sale. Does anyone know what they generally cost and what the price differences, if any, are between the two?

I had Tripp hard chrome my slide and internals on my Berettas and love the work. They still look great too. I have a used 686 that I'd like to hard chrome, and maybe the 60 too. Which is the better finish from Metalife? Satin finish http://www.mahovskysmetalife.com/RevolverCloseup.htm or...

I've decided I've got to get my own rifle after shooting my Dad's Remy 700 ADL. And it seems I've received a reply about the Ruger M 77 Mark II cmpact so I'm editing my post. Why isn't a 16 1/2" barrel a good idea? Anyway, the Remy is drilled and tapped so how is the scope attached? Can I do...

It's just like me to get confused about the grips online. Bought a new S&W 60 and wanted pachmayr grips for it. I accidently ordered the compac professional instead of the compac -- largely because they look exactly alike. The site doesn't show the correct pic for the compac pro so I...

I'm interested in two lever action rimfire rifles: Golden Boy 20" (16 rounds) and the 19.25 (11+1 round). Which is the better of the two. Certainly the price is better on the 11 round gun but does anyone have either model?

I was just in the gun shop to put down money on my S&W 60 2" (one more paycheck and it's mine :) ) and while I was waiting for the paperwork, my eye caught a glance of the 36LS. Nice looking but I suspect the Lady Smith name ups the price, including the grip it comes with. Looking at the S&W...

I'm going to get the DAO SP101. What are the best snaps to use for this gun and how many dry fires should I expect to clock before the trigger eases up? Laura

After months of going back and forth with my Dad, we've finally agreed to get the Home Defender. I'm buying it really for him but much to my surprise he wants the six shot Remington 870 18," not the four shot. It surprised me because his permit restricts him to five shells but I guess if we...

I'm planning on getting firearm instruction at the Sig Academy. I've got a Beretta type M that I plan to use but I need a good belt and holster. It looks like I'll have to pay over two hundred for both which I don't want because the class costs $295. Where can I find a good leather holster...

I'm going to be getting a Remington home defender over the summer. Which of the two models they sell is easier to take apart and clean -- the standard four shot or six shot?

I'm trying to get a list together of what I own to have them insured. This is what I'm sure I'll need: Model/caliber/description of firearm/serial number Where purchased, when, for how much. Do I need the shops FFL, address, etc? What are the only facts I need to list for insurance? I'm...

I'm used to the kick of the 686 but this looks like a nice gun. I've never shot a .44 though; anyone have one that can describe the recoil? Is it the same as the .357 or worse?

I don't know why a country that loves Roman Polanski should find this "offensive." :barf: http://aolsvc.news.aol.com/news/article.adp?id=20050303171809990001 ANGERS, France (March 3) - French authorities opened one of the nation's most horrific pedophilia trials Thursday, charging that...

I'm planning on getting more revolvers over time but I've noticed from the Ruger website, they say nothing about weight. Why is that? I'd think that would be helpful to know from the buyer's standpoint. What does a Ruger GP weigh in comparison to a S&W 60" -- and the SP compared to the GP and...

I'm getting the S&W 2" model 60. I like the silver/black from S&W and the Lamo Camo from Hogue: http://www.hogueinc.com/getgrip/merchant.ihtml?pid=1860&lastcatid=201&step=4 http://store.smith-wesson.com/store/index.php3?cat=293451&item=831129&sw_activeTab=9 Which would look nicer on the gun?
