Hello: I have bought/sold a bunch of guns in my life, however all of my sales and purchases have been face to face. I am now looking at a few different revolvers online that I am interested in. I know what to look for when inspecting a revolver for purchase, but what questions should I be...

Trying to find a new in box older one without the lock, but they are hard to find for the money I have to spend. So has anyone experienced any issues with that ugly looking lock that Smith puts in it's 642's (or other revolvers)? Thanks

OK - I know I posted a "642 or 442" thread earlier, but I want to be more specific and ask why a stainless steel barrel would be that much better than the one on the 442. As mentioned, I will be carrying 99% of the time in a bullet proof vest holster. I live in Connecticut so it can get hot for...

Anyone own this holster or the 5JR Express? How does the President conceal compared to the 5JR (Standard or Express version)? Thanks!

Looking to pick one up for my P228. I like the 5JR. Anyone have experiences with this holster? Does the 5JR or 5JR President conceal better? And, does his Express line 5JR hold the gun as snug as the standard holster (which costs $50 more)? Is the detailed hand boning the only difference that...

I had originally narrowed down my next off duty gun purchase to the Sig P228 and the P239. I went to a gun shop that had both Sigs and an HK USP Compact 9mm (I used to have a USP 45 compact, but sold it cause it was expenzive to shoot). So I am now itching to get a new 9mm to carry off duty. I...

I have narrowed down my choices for a off duty gun to the 239 in 9mm and the 228. I have been to gun shops to see each of them, but cannot find a shop that has both in stock for me to compare side by side. On the 239 - does the 10 round magazines stick out a lot from the magazine well? I know...

I am trying to find a 686-4 2.5" but cannot seem to find one anywhere. Must be the pre lock, in at least excellent condition, and 7 round cylinder would be nice (but not required). Any help is much appreciated.

I am not all that know familiar with grips, ect. If I have a Smith (for example) that has round butt grips on it, is it possible to convert to square butt grips? Probably a stupid question, but any help is appreciated.

What are the major differences between these two? Thanks

Hello: I am considering the 3" GP100 as my next purchase. What is the difference between the full and half shroud barrels? What are the advantages/disadvantages of both? Thanks!

I have an itch for a new revolver (this would be my second - the 340PD being my first and used as a backup/off duty gun). Just want something that I can bring to the range (the 340PD is too painful to use as a range gun), keep as a home defense gun and maybe occassionally a CCW weapon. I am...

I have the 340PD and am considering taking off the red ramp front site and putting on a Hi Viz front night site. Can anyone explain the pros and cons to both of these options other than the Hi Viz being more visible at night? I pocket carry this gun most of the time. Thanks!!!

Hello: I have a 340PD which is a 11 oz. scandium/titanium 2" snubbie. A few weeks ago I fired Gold Dot 125gr +p through it and the recoil was pretty stout. The other day I replaced the Hogue grips and put on a nice pair of Spegel wood grips. I went to the range with a few boxes of Corbon 110gr...

Hello: I narrowed down the choices for carry ammo for my 340PD to the Corbon 38 special 110gr DPX and the Gold Dot 38 special +p 135 grain HP. I spoke to reps from both of these companies who both stated that these new rounds were specifically designed for 2" snubbies. Corbon told me that they...

I have read where shooting certain types of ammo in the 340PD can cause the bullet to actually pull from the cartridge and lock the cylinder. Anyone have any experience with this? Is it just hot .357 loads or can it happen with .38 and .38 +P loads? What is the best way to avoid this and are...

Have a 340PD. Directions are very vague on whether you can or cannot dry fire this gun. Is it ok to dry fire it? Is it possible to damage the gun over time by dry firing it? Thanks

Is a gun chambered for a .357 less accurate when shooting .38's instead of .357's? Thanks

I shot the 342PD and did not think that it was all that bad (recoil). I am having lots of trouble actually finding a new or barely used 342PD so I am left with the 340PD. I am looking for something that I can carry everywhere that is light and has some power to it. So I have ruled out just...
