I have seen some model 28's advertised as "S" series while some others are not. What is the difference between a model 28 and an "S" series model 28? Is one more desirable/better than the other? Any big significant differences? Can you tell them apart easily?

for those of you who have shot both.........which do you prefer? is the recoil/snap of the 40 in the sigma worth the xtra punch over the 9 and control/recovery in such a light gun? i've shot metal frame 40's but wondering about the plastics. one last qestion, does the sigma 40 "bulge" brass...

if given a choice in these two striker fired weapons........ccw is not an issue. which way would you go? the sigma with years of production and improvments under its belt (compared to its intro) or the sr9c and its rather short track record.....recalled but suposedly problems addressed...

Any opinions on the various 135gr loads as far as accuracy, performance, and realiability? I am looking for a good load for the springfield xd. Or can you direct me to a good site on this subject?

Any experience with the auto ord. now that it is under KHAR ARMS? Has the quality been improved? I am thinking about a 1911 around the $500 mark. Springfield mil-spec is high on the list but Khar has a good rep as well. AMT is out of the running and I am unsure of the quality of the various...

I have a chance to get a S&W 296 "ti" airweight for $400 inc tax (2nd hand--excellent shape)from a local shop. The weapon feels good in the hand and has a very good trigger. The main driving force is more of a "want than a need" as it complements my mdl 12s and mdl 38---though the thought of a...

Does anyone know if s&w will automatically alter an older smith sent in for repair and convert it to their "safety lock system" without the customer's authorization----the same way that ruger will convert an older bearcat or single six to the transfer bar system without customer authorization? I...

I have just received an interarms virginian dragoon 45colt as a b-day gift from my wife's grandfather. This weapon has what appears to be a factory inscripton "don't tread on me" with a snake on the butt. Was this inscripton standard? I could not find any reference about the inscripton in any...

I read the article today on the new Hornady .17 magnum rimfire that was test-fired in ruger and marlin rifles. I think this would make a good round to chamber in the NAA mini-revolvers since it was reported to have high velocity and comparable energy to the .22 mag with reportedly less kick than...

I have heard that remington will bring back the 16ga in the 870 wingmaster and express for 2002. Has anybody else heard anything about this and if it is true, will they have choke tubes? Could not find anything about it on their web site.

OK, I am going in debt more and more. My last three purchases have been revolvers(most recent a pre-10 2"). Sight regulation on these old smiths have been very good. I briefly owned a 3" gp100 but traded it off due to it grouping left of center (5") at 15yds with several brands of ammo and...

I have just recently acquired and old s&w revolver in excellent condition with box. the box is gold in color with "38 44 heavy duty" on it. The serial # is s74xxx range. My problem is that the blue book shows two possible models for this gun----the mdl 20 and the model 23. Both seem to fall in...

I have two savage 99's in 270/308 and 30/284. Does anyone have any experience with these two rounds or suggest a web site with reload data? I have obtained rcbs 30/284 dies and have another set ordered for the 270/308. Did find some data for both rounds in P.O. Ackley but that source is limited...

Was in the local gunshop today and saw a firearms letter called industry insider. It had an announcement that s&w had been contracted by remington to make rifle receivers. I was rather taken back by this as I would rather not help s&w in any way. I had also been under the impression that...

Had a chance to try out a round but S&W mdl 12 airweight k-frame today. Was a pleasure to shoot with std ammo and a real joy to carry. Have any of you had any experience with this revolver concerning how well it will hold up to extensive firing? My carry load for the 38 is the Federal 125gr std...
