Hoo boy is that a spicy price! I must confess that I don't quite see the appeal of a 10mm revolver what with 10mm and 357 ballistics being right on top of each other. However I learned years ago that when it comes to guns when you scratch it, there isn't any logic to it sometimes. Good luck...
I really like the proportions of the 586 L-Comp, it has that similar bulldog esthetic as the 627 snub nose but better balanced, not as cartoony, which admittedly I do like. When it comes to reclvolvers I definitely seem drawn to the shorter barrel models. The L-Comp is a Performance Center...
I thank you all for your input and with each post I was going back and forth on my decision. However I now have a 586 L-Comp on order with my LGS. @S&W Fan will be gratified to know that my shop's distributor had 19 of that model in stock. Should be here by the middle of next week, street...
I forgot- for Python money I can get a 586 L-Comp and have some bucks left over.
The 586 L-Comp is a 7 shot blued L Frane with a 3" compensted barrel. I belive tge 3" is the rifled portion with about 1/2" of compensator at the end so it's a tad shorter over all compared to a 4" model.
It's...
I'm tell8ng you guys if you handle a new Python alongside a new 686 you will immediately see a quality difference. The Python has better machining and tighter fitment and the trigger is excellent, very smooth and actually pretty light for a double action. I'm just not sure if I want to pay a...
Good point. Nevertheless I feel like I should get a more basic bitch blaster before exploring S&W's PC offerings. I still fancy the 627 snubby. Looks like a gun out of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
Maybe I should look into an R8/TRR8 also. But the guns are hard to find and I'd like to give my LGS...
I'm sure your right but that's what I'm working with. This shop has helped me out several times now with shipping guns out for me at minimal charge, just what the shipping costs would be. That is a major convenience for me and they have been very accommodating in the past with seven other...

I'm not that well heeled and I'd rather spend any further revolver funds on a .44.
I figure if I can handle .357 loads out of the 11.8oz 340PD I may as well get a .44 at some point.
This would be for range use and I suppose as a house gun too.
I've fondled and shot both and I think the Python is better, everything is tighter and the trigger is lighter and smoother on the Colt. The Colt is also sexier. But I am also something of a a capacity min-maxer and 7 over 6 rounds...
The Python is absolutely the nicer gun but is it worth the extra $500 or so? Would the option for 7 shots sway you over to the S&W?
I'm looking to purchase soon.
The leftists will burn it all down if they don't get their way. If leftists get their way humanity goes extinct. You all need to get this through your heads. There is no peaceful solution, the left kills all of us or we kill all of them there is no other way.
S&W needs to get off it's ass and make some larger variations of the Shield too. And I want one piece grips, not this magazine extension crap, I hate how wibbly wobbly the 13 and 15 round mags feel in the hand.
I would have assumed the heavier bullets would exhibit the heavier recoil. The Fiocchi .357 Mag 148gr was listed at 1450 fps from a 4" barrel. These Remingtons are listed at a similar velocity but with a 125gr pill which I figure would equate to somewhat less recoil. All things being...
Have another one: I like S&W's new ultimate carry J frame but I am dubious as the the .32 H&R magnum clambering. Partly due to concerns of its effectiveness as a defensive cartridge but more to its availability, not a very commonly available round these days. This gun in .327 Federal Magnum...
Does loaded mag inserted, empty chamber count as loaded? I keep whatever long guns I have on deck cruiser ready. I only keep handguns on a loaded chamber.
The flintlock was in use for centuries and itself was only an incremental improvement over the preceeding matchlock. It's successor, the percussion lock was again a small improvement on a basic design that spanned many hundreds of years. Firearms technology plateaus for long periods until a...
I carried one when I lived in Texas, the P239 was great because it carried like a subcompact and shot like a full-size. Now imagine a p239 with a 12 round capacity.
Brought the little monster out today along with my now extremely nice Volquartsenized Ruger Mk IV. I hadn't planned on shooting the 340 much but I ended up enjoying it so much I ran through all 100 rounds that I brought. 148gr Magtec wadcutters.
I think those are pretty damn decent groups for...
Am I missing something here? I fail to see how this is a big deal. Manual registration is and has been mandatory, automating the process seems like a logical cost cutting measure.
Any concerns regarding the actual activation of the draft is a matter for the ballot box as opposed to worrying...
Ruger/Marlin same thing. A new .357 lever gun from that company is what I'm saying. I'd prefer a pistol grip style though as opposed to the straight stock 1894.
Make NYGF About Guns Again:
1- Modernized version of the P239 adapted to take P365 magazines. Never happen 'cause it'd never sell but I'd love one.
2- a 10mm version of the P227. P227 sales were abysmal so again, never happen
3- A 7 shot Plus plus version of S&W's 586. No idea why this...
This combined with with the recent development on pistol braces is all very nice and fine but it is high time to get to work on the NFA, the Gun Control Act and the Hughs Ammendment.
Bump stocks and braces are workarounds to laws that shouldn't exist.
This is why I champion the 6mm. A cartridge like I described above would sacrifice terminal performance compared to 7.62x51 or this new 6.8 monstrosity but it would not sacrifice range nor penetration. Such a cartridge would not be quite as controllable as the 5.56x45 either but I think it...
My understanding of this cartridge is that in it's full (ultra high) pressure configuration, the steel based one, is that the energy levels approach that of the .300 Win Mag. In fact it seems almost ballistically identical to the old and defunct .280 Ross cartridge. I fail to see how thus...
It's funny you mentioned that, I just saw a great video on this type of product and I wondered myself if this wouldn't be more useful. Tge only thing about the mag lamp is that even if I don't need magnification I can still blast my work space with light which I find useful. I like a lot of...
Moved to a larger but cheaper apartment and now I am finally able to get a hobby room set up. I'll bolt a vice on there and a clamp on magnifier lamp too
What is the point of keeping stupid fucking liberals alive? I Mean seriously, humanity would be so much happier and more productive if they were all dead. Dumb deluded fucks, they all deserve to die.
Polls don't mean anything anymore, they don't account for ballot harvesting or more outright forms of fuckery.
However I have heard an interesting theory that Trump might be making arrangements with the deep state. Biden's disastrous, non-functional administration* has bitten the hand that...
"I don't consent to searches"
Then call a lawyer, maybe you get lucky and that lawyer can convince the court the cops didn't have probable cause for the search. Then the relevant evidence gets thrown out along with the charges.
Is this a general purpose vise or is it for a specific use? I am moving soon and am looking to set up a little workshop in the new place and I could use a good vise for basic gunsmithing.
I got to shoot a buddy's Berretta 1301 yesterday. A magnificent gun, I want one very badly now. It was so light and handy I think it would make a fantastic home defense gun, to me it felt similar in weight to a lightly equipped AR. Bit of a shoulder thumper yet not obnoxiously so.
What do we...
