Does anyone know if the late model 5903 and 5906 pistols, produced after the official cessation of both those model lines (To fill LEO special orders) have box rails ala TSW, or step rails, like regular production? The late model 5903/5906 I'm referring to, are identifiable by the laser etched...

I don't own any DAO pistols. I came across a CS45D. The trigger feels similar to my model 66 revolvers. Nice little compact 45. This one has a finger rest mag, unlike the TDA model I tried some time back. Fits my hand.....barely. It is slick slide, no manual safety. Seems to me, to be like a...

I'm looking at an early S&W 4513TSW, the one with the cut out grip, and 6 round mag. Anyone own one of these, or have some time behind one? I like the size, and thin slide on this model, and it's 45. What's the good, bad, and ugly on this pistol? Asking is around $700, and it's LNIB. Is it...

I'm looking for more info, and hopefully some photos of one of these revolvers. I read a mention of them on another board. Apparently they were S&W 581/681's modified by gunsmith Andy Cannon. Anyone know more details, or own one? Is this a custom revolver that Mr Cannon will still produce for...

I'm looking at a blue Springfield loaded 1911. What is the accuracy and reliability like on this model? It's LNIB with box and docs. Regards 18DAI.

http://michaelbane.blogspot.com/2007/08/s-revolver-safety-failure.html I guess nobody told him that the S&W internal lock is "not an issue". Ironic that he's a friend of Charlie Petty who wrote that puff piece on the locks for American Handgunner. I wonder what S&W's response will be? Regards...

Novaks did a bunch of these custom 915 pistols. Apparently they have stopped making them. Does anyone have one of these, or know where I could locate one? Thanks. Regards 18DAI.

I found a different model 19-7 today. It is a 4" barrel round butt, finished in matt black. The backstrap is serrated, and it has the traditional thumb latch. Serial # is BRH04XX. The finish is similar to the matt black on my PC 586 L-comp. At first glance, I thought it might be a 38 export...

I picked up a S&W 457, compact 45 today. I've been wanting a lightweight, concealable 45 carry gun for some time. My 4516-3 is very nice, so I thought about a PC Shorty 45. After some searching and bidding on those, I realized I can't afford one at this time. The 457 is lightweight, has a...

I was at the range yesterday, with a co-worker who had a Grendel 380. I don't know the model number, but it was a 7-shot, with euro mag release. She was having trouble with it stove piping every other round and asked me to look at it. The ammo was UMC ball. She also had some Independence 380...

I bought a used 681 no dash last January. The more I shoot it, the more I'm loving this revolver. I have other L-frames, and was never thrilled with any of them. The 681 has changed all that, to the extent that I may have to edit my signature ;) . The trigger exceeds that of my PC 586-5 L-comp...

Anyone out there know which agencies are using S&W black, or Melonite 4566's? Are they still purchasing/ordering these from S&W? Anyone know where I could locate one? Thanks. Regards 18DAI.

Anyone here own an original Asp, or a Devel Asp 2000? Do you have any pics? Thanks. Regards 18DAI.

Does anyone have one of these? Are the improvements in accuracy and reliability very dramatic? Does Bar Sto make a barrel for the 910 as well? Regards 18DAI.

I picked up one of these, at the fake sword and jerky show today. DA/SA 45, blue slide, stainless frame, spurless hammer. Shot it this afternoon, it's a tack driver, and a keeper. I read where only 1,236 were made. Anybody have any more details? Anyone else have a 4567? I paid $400 OTD, did I do...

Anyone have any details or pics? When is it to be released? Has an MSRP been announced yet? Regards 18DAI.

Has anyone seen or shot this pistol? I heard and saw alot of adds for it, around this time last year, then nothing. Did they make any, or was it cancelled? What calibers is it available in? Is the internal lock optional, as the M&P IL is? Thanks. Regards 18DAI.

I came across one of these for a good price. I've owned L-frames, and still have two. I prefer the K-frames for carry, but there is something about this fixed sight, stainless L-frame thats appealing. How do you 681 owners like them? This is a no dash, anything I should know about these, good or...

While practicing this afternoon, my 4516-3 started releasing it's mags while firing. The result was a click instead of a bang. While excellent malfunction drill practice, it's still irritating. I intend (perhaps intended) to shoot a match Sunday with it. While the mag was "released", it did not...

If you compete with a 4516 compact 45, do you shoot in SSP, or CDP? Are you allowed to use just the 7 rounds in the mag to start, or do you need to top off and do 7+1 ? Thanks. Regards 18DAI.
