    Nyclad vs. Gold Dot in 2" snubbie

Currently, I'm carrying Gold Dot 125 gr. +P GDHP in both my S&W 642 and my S&W 342PD J Frame snubs. Not sure if I should start carrying the Nyclads, or continue carrying...

    A friend of mine has a pre-1959 blued Baby Browning he's looking to sell to help fund another gun purchase. Pistol is about 90% with only slight wear of the blueing, mostly at the muzzle end (apparently from holster carry), and a few very minor scratches. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the...

    .38 Spl Nyclads - Standard Pressure vs. +P

    Haven't read much about the .38 Spl 125 Gr Nyclad +P round. Was just wondering if it's performance as a defensive round would be much more significant than the standard pressure round out of a 2" snubbie? Can't find any data that compares the two. Was thinking about switching to the +P, but I...

    What's everyone else doing with their J Frames?

    Been thinking of tweaking this and tweaking that on my 442, but was hoping to get a bit of "know-how" from some of the "Smiths" that frequent this list. Have an almost new 442 that I would like to add a personal touch to it. I should note that this little gem is to be used strictly for a...
