I have been digging into the 45/70 versus 450 Marlin threads here. The first of the 450 threads is almost 6 years old! For those of you who are in the know, how is the 450 Marlin holding up as a commercial round?? Has it gained a following?? Is it a keeper or is it sliding into cartridge...

I picked up a NIB S&W 940 this AM. Went straight to the range to give it a try. This is a Centennial style, concealed hammer, 5 shot, J frame 9mm revolver. It uses moon clips to position the 9mm case. First the subjective part. I love it. Now for the rest. I brought 100 rounds of...

If any of you revolver afficianadoes might happen to know the serial number range for a 638 I would sure appreciate that information. I am looking for a 1990 model and have found one with a serial number of cct2xxx. Any idea if this fits into the 1990 model year numbers?? Thanks
