Just curious what the differences are between the S&W M36 (discontinued) and the 36 Lady Smith (current production). Is it just a different grip and the "Lady Smith" etching? Or are there more fundamental differences? I guess I'm trying to compare the current LS with the final year's...

Want to thank Mike Irwin for giving me support on my first "vintage" Smith purchase: an early model Chief's Special. Paid more than Mike said it was worth, but this gun "spoke to me." This is my second revolver (first blued one), and the only gun I own that is older than me. Incidentally...

I'm too new to firearms to be able to tell what duty revolvers LEOs are carrying in their holsters just by looking at them. I often see police officers of major metropolitan areas still carrying revolvers...perhaps because these areas haven't had the funding to replace them all with semi-autos...

I picked up my new P-32 today...paid about $290 excluding tax (for hard-chrome finish). Would imagine this is high since living in an extremely gun-unfriendly area seems to drive up prices. Paid around $20 for a spare mag. Cleaned and lubed it before heading out to the range. Bought 4...

I am seeking recommendations for a .45 ACP semi-auto (or revolver) that would be concealable without a belt rig. This would be something possibly worn daily in an office environment (pants, tucked in shirt). I currently use Smartcarry and think it is decent. I think the key for success for...

Basically, I'm looking to find out what the lightest j-frame is for a friend, whether of previous or current production, that fires .38 specials. My guess is that the revolver will only be loaded with the mildest standard pressure 38s. (e.g. the 110 gr Federal personal protection rounds). +P...

I realize that there have been a few posts concerning the Jetfire in the past. I'll be taking delivery of an Inox model this week, and am seeking some suggestions from current/previous owners on: 1) a good pocket holster - I'm assuming something lightweight is in order since it's a pretty...
