    Full Power Loads In a 629?

    Ok,so Smiths aren't as tanklike as Rugers and you should't shoot a lot of full power ammo but how much is too much? If I run 50 rds of .44Mag. 240gr JHP through it a week am I going to throw the timing off? Also have a question about CCI ammo with the aluminum cases like their .44Mag 240gr JHP...

    Revolvers Are Coming Back!

    This is what my gunsmith told me as I was paying for the two pre-owned Smittys I bought this weekend. Never really thought about it but after pondering it some I can see where the revolver may have taken a back seat to the semi-auto over the last ten or fifteen years. Well anyway,wheelguns have...

    S&W M 27-2 Info

    Picked up an LNIB M 66-2 at the gunshop last week and went back to see what else they had. Showed me several used revos but only a 4 inch 686 caught my eye. Then the gunsmith comes out of the back carrying an old,beatup wooden box. Opens it up to reveal a mint M27-2 with a checkered topstrap and...

    Is The H&K P7M8 Really That Good?

    I'm just searching aimlessly for something to buy next. Came across a hard chromed P7M8 yesterday for $650. Looks to be in excellent condition with no grind marks.

    Read somewhere that the 9x23 can be shot out of a 9mm semi-auto with a simple barrel change. Does anyone have any info? If true what 9's have this option and/or can handle the extra pressure? Are there aftermarket barrels available to make the switch? Ronin :) ------------------ NRA/GOA
