    Any comments on S&W model 64

    Saw a S&W model 64 .38 special with the 4" heavy barrel for sale. Has some slight holster wear on the top of the frame, where the non-glare finish is, but otherwise in excellent condition. Seller wants $250.00 plus tax for it. I have been thinking about a .38 special only for the range, and...

    Tumbling bullets

    Why would some bullets tumble when fired from a gun. The gun is a .357 with a 2-1/2" barrel. Some brands of .38 special tumble and keyhole in a paper target, even at twenty feet or less.

    Has anyone done any bullet penetration and expansion tests with a NAA mini revolver,or other short barrel revolver ? I have seen velocity results, including those on the NAA website, but nothing about actual .22 bullet penetration or expansion from a short barrel.

    Legal problems and light triggers

    I frequently hear people mention that you can have additional legal problems, in a self defense shooting, if your gun has light springs. Why would it matter if the gun has been tuned or has light springs installed ?

    Good price for a used S&W 317

    Found a used, almost like new, S&W model 317 with a 1-7/8" barrel today. The dealer wants $329.00 for it. Is that price about right for a good used one? Also, does anyone know of any common problems with these guns?

    Anybody know about concealed weapon searches at any of the Florida theme parks? Visited Busch Gardens, Tampa Florida, the other day. They have signs posted that metal detectors are in use in the park, and that they may search all carry bags. Didn't hear any beeps while I was there.

    How long does it take you to clean your gun?

    How much time do you spend cleaning your gun after shooting ? I just spent a little over two hours cleaning two revolvers, after firing about 150 rounds of .38 swc reloads in each gun. I usually spend more time cleaning than shooting.

    Fair price for a model 19

    I need to know what a fair price would be for a 1980 model 19 nickel 4", unfired but no box. A friend of mine wants to buy it, and due to some recent purchases I have exceeded my gun budget and should probably sell one or two. I have another one just like it, so I probably won't miss this one.
