    S&W Classic Line

    Hello All, Does anyone own or carry one of the S&W classic revolvers? I'm mostly interested in the M40 and M36, how close are they to the originals? Are the dimensions the same as the 642/637's? I know the M40's grip has the grip safety and both models are heavier than the aforementioned...

    Over Oiled My Air Weight

    Hello all, I just recently purchased a S&W 637 that I absolutely love. However, the other day I was adding some oil (the trigger was gritty as all get out) accidently and over did it. Now I have oil leaking out of the side plate when I dry fire. Can I just dry fire the excess oil out or does...

    Hello all, I started this thread a while ago... http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?t=439057 And it got me wondering, how many of us have switched from semi autos to revolvers and why? My reason is the simplicity, ease of carry and the .38 P+ round. I also just love the general...
