    S&W 686 NO dash, what is it worth

    figuring this is in excellent condition. Always wanted a 686 and stumbled onto one from early 80's. Wondering if it is worth less because it was never fixed for the M recall. Would Smith still do the M upgrade for free or should I factor in a cost to do this?

    I just found out how many bullets I need

    According to the news this morning, the LAPD shot 102 rounds into a vehicle when trying to find one of their own last month. I have subscribed to 30 round mags being ok but now it looks like the 100 round drum would have come up a bit short were I able to keep up with them. Not sure this is...

    options on a m&p pistol

    Probably going to buy an M&P soon. May decide to get involved in match events later in the year. I see 9mm with 4 1/4 barrel and 45 ACP with 4 1/2. I can reload either just wondering if there is a heavy bias one way or another. Also, thumb safety is an option. :confused: Makes no sense...

    I am confused

    I recently bought a gp100 and just got a nice Bianchi holster. Never had one before. Put the gun in and realized I could not snap it closed with the hammer down. It isn't even close. I pulled the hammer back and it snaps snugly in place. I guess I will realize later why this is ok but I am...

    I know this is beat to death. I will try to be specific. I want to replace current bolt action with same caliber maybe a little less kick. Thinking maybe a semi, pump or lever action I would even consider a carbine as woods here are thick. I don't see much of a shot past 200 yds anyway. I...
