I've owned both. The 101 is really heavy compared to the LCR. If you're one to make mods to your guns, the LCR has more available for it. The 101 has a hefty frickin trigger pull (15lbs), compared to the LCR (~7lbs). If you're a beefier guy, the 101 should be fine for hip carrying. I carry on my ankle most days so that's why I got an LCR for the lighter form factor but also lighter trigger pull.
The LCR has a phenomenal trigger for a double action revolver, especially the center fired ones. The rimfires are a little stiffer. The only issue is that the reset is a little long and there's a false reset, but it's easy to get used to.
The 3" makes a great pack gun for doming gators with hardcasts, soft points or fmj .357. I carry a snubby since the largest thing I'll ever encounter is mountain lion these days, but I've always had a special boner for lcrs and j-frames.
If you're gonna want to pocket carry get the lighter LCR. If you're gonna carry IWB it don't matter. That said I don't see the SP101 having any reason to exist now when Taurus is making solid guns for like half the price in the same form factor(+1 extra shot on .38 only models) and the triggers are better out of the box because no cast frame slop.
SP101 if .357, LCR if .38
Overall if you aren't shooting magnum loads or being a giant homosexual the LCR is a really awesome little gun, one of the more fun guns I own. Does have the airweight sting to it though.
I'll repeat myself, >I bet nobody will buy it but dudes will continue to wonder break action revolvers aren't more popular.
And you frickers have the gall to wonder why nobody caters to you. Even if someone got around to making the MP412 you gays would complain that it's not $5 and doesn't suck you off and tuck you in at night.
>357 MAGNUM 7 SHOT
Wow I sure am glad they informed the user how many rounds it holds, wouldn't want someone trying to jam in extra rounds in the mag and causing feeding issues.
The recoil is beyond manageable, this weighs like 4 pounds unloaded. I mean, its loud and the recoil is crazy, but nothing nearly as bad as what I had pictured in my head before I bought it.
I love it! Just got myself a chest holster for it from Diamond D Leather, comfortable as frick
I considered a chest holster myself, but I really want to get a full leather shoulder holster instead. Seems nobody makes one though. I might have to get a hip holster adn gunbelt so I can shoot cowboy action with full power 460s.
Check out Andrews Custom Leather, they make a shoulder holster called the Springbreak for all different kinds of revolvers and autoloaders, here's their catalog: http://www.andrewsleather.com/traditional.htm
If you wanna get gucci, you can also get anything in that catalog made in an exotic type of leather, i.e. elephant, ostrich, alligator, etc.
I've never shot competition before, so ranking low is a given. Figured I'd just mess around so at least I can enjoy myself and hopefully make the cowboy guys smile.
I'm thinking about a 22lr Ruger LCR as a backup carry gun but that 1.87" barrel worries me. Would it be able to reliably penetrate rib bones and the skull still?
I would argue it's not. I bet I could get off 3 .22s at least in the time it takes you to fire twice and with the soft recoil I'd be more likely to get hits too probably. 6-8 .22lrs to the face in a couple of seconds is plenty persuasive.
38 special +p carries more energy and velocity by weight than 380 acp from a snubby barrel vs a semi auto like the lcp or p238. It will penetrate fine with minimal recoil.
I can see why some people wouldn't like them. they don't have the classic style of smiths and colts. I like them because I feel like they take the basic style of rugers, but instead of being lumpy in weird places they have a sort of modern angular look
Kimber has been know to be absolute trash tier firearms for 30 years give or take.
Management, ownership, factory location, and manufacturing changes in the last few years notwithstanding.
But in all seriousness:
K6 is made from bar stock without any of the MIM parts that COHEN used to destroy Kimber's reputation. Although he is currently running the same train on Sig with absolutely no consequences.
TL;DR
The K6 (especially DAO models) have an immediate, discernible quality that is both tangible and measurable from manufacture to market. This also differentiates it from market peers.

I was thinking of getting a snubnose for CC, but I'm not sure what kind of round I should be looking at. I mean, if I go with something like 9mm, it doesn't really seem worth it to use a revolver in comparison to a normal subcompact pistol. But when you get into the territory of .38/.357 etc., most concealable revolvers seem to drop their capacity to 5 rounds for whatever reason.
I mean, I get that capacity has never been a strong suite for revolvers, but I can't imagine not having at LEAST 6 rounds - I've even seen some normal sized ones with 7 (or more if you want a .22 plinker), but I've not had a ton of luck finding that in a small enough package to use as a daily carry.

Must be your giant moron brain that you can't understand it was designed as a duty weapon by Ruger and the SP-101 for concealed carry.
You can conceal carry a Desert Eagle if you invest in a good holster and belt along with dressing around it. It's better to buy a small tupperware 9mm and rock on homiea.
A dealer has much longer and thicker grip, grip size is about 90% of CC issues.
Anything else is fine as long as you wear a belt, and don't wear gay pants.
Barrel length doesn't matter as long as it doest go down further than your hip joint, and even then if it does slightly it's not much of a real issue.

No, Anon reads about it on the internet instead of owning or shooting them. The Scandium guns are stronger than aluminum guns by nature, so Anon is a moron. You DO NOT need to replace the blast shield unless it fall off and you lose it. It's literally there to help prevent topstrap erosion which is an issue with ANY revolver with enough rounds.

Whats wrong with a GP100, about the same size as an L frame smith and people carry those all the time, weight isnt as much of a factor as you think so long as you have a study belt and holster combo. Under a loose shirt it hides perfectly fine. Hell, I have seen people carry N frame smiths with no problem. I want to carry a model 69 eventually in an OWB pancake holster.
It's a service weapon Anon. It was designed to be carried in an open holster. The L/N frames were too.
It's this fricking stupid shit where people keep pushing for xbox huge carry guns when homies be like "I want a small pistol so people can't see it because I will get fired/arrested if someone sees".
I wish S&W would bring back the I-frame chambered in .32H&R Mag.

Get a Taurus 856. 6 shots of 38spl in a size comparable to a Colt D frame(detective special). they make steel and aluminum frames. They also have one with a 3"bbl if you're not worried about pocket carry. That one even comes with a front night sight.
I've never had a Taurus break. Pic related is late 70s/early 80s it also ran like a top. If you can do a proper inspection before purchase your chances of getting a lemon with any brand goes down dramatically.
you haven't, but I have on an 85 and know a couple guys that have broken their 856 firing pins.
The 85 wasn't too bad to replace a hand since it was in production for so long, but I wasn't paying $80 to for Taurus to replace a $15 part.
The other 856 guys in fairness did get their firing pins replaced in a quick turn around.

Yeah you gotta remember Taurus has been under new management for several years now and has been doing a great job imo. Also 856s are so affordable. It's kind of insane. Before the panic my LGS was selling the black carbon steel model for $199. I paid $250 for my 2" and $350 for my 3". If you want a 3" no one else even comes close to the value.

Ah my bad. Never seen one in person. Just assumed it was the same as a hammerless. Either way I’ve never understood the desire to minimize the hammer. It’s there for a reason, if you don’t like it used a striker fired.
Depending on what type of "hammerless" you get you can wiener those too. Start the hammer with the trigger and get your thumb in the gap and put it in single action. A true dao will have a fully internal hammer.

There's no reason for single action on a fighting revolver. Single action is for target work. There's no problem carrying a revolver with a hammer though like some gays claim but there's no DGU scenario where you would benefit from SA.

Your moronic, that isn't a black powder conversion, that anon has a Man with No Name from Cimmarron. Look at the cylinder and the sights.
I would love to take you to the range and watch you shoot 200 of my .38spl loads in a single session from my 442. No gloves. Small guns are pros guns for a reason. If you're not a pro you can still do okay but don't gimp yourself with added complications like excessive recoil.
>I would love to take you to the range and watch you shoot 200 of my .38spl loads in a single session from my 442
I've fired 150 rounds of federal 158gr .357 out of my snubby lcr in a single trip and it was just fine. Quit being a gargantuan pussy, 38 special +p recoils less than 9mm does. An immediate life and death scenario is not the time to worry about unobtrusive recoil, especially out of a gun that's impossible to limp-wrist f2f.
lol you do you bro. I'd rather shoot faster and not blind myself or blow my ears out if I ever have to use the fricker indoors than have my bullets fly even further out the other side of the target.
Then why buy a heavier and pricier 357 that probably has 1 less round than if it was a .38? Nobody makes a 6 shot 357 snub in a small frame because they can't. You'd buy a shittier carry gun to be able to make fireballs at the range? Weird flex but acceptable.
> 357 that probably has 1 less round than if it was a .38?
Maybe you’re new to the whole guns thing, but the market is FULL of j-frame 5 shot 38s, and I’ve never seen a 6 shot j-frame 38. There is no noticeable difference in length or weight between my 38 and 357 j frames, so no reason not to go 357.

Reminder that you've never really experienced fun unless you've loaded your chambers with a random mix of .38 special and .357 mag and try to guess which it will be when you pull the trigger next
LGS had them on sale for 850 and the finish/trigger is way nicer than a Ruger or Smith around the same cost, plus King Cobra is the coolest name for a revolver I've ever heard. I'm loving it so far.
Not in my ownership, but LGS has it for $900 used. Cop or pass? I know it's there because it's a 44 with a Scandium frame, so it's probably punishing to shoot.

I always think about getting a scandium .357mag and just shooting and training mostly with .38spl. I figure it should hold up fine to .38s and be very shootable but still also very carriable walking around with .357. Obviously you couldn't load it up with balls to the wall magnum loads all the time, even the regular steel guns barely take that treatment.
Unless the piece has a 4” barrel, I wouldn’t bother with magnum loads.
You’re not really gonna get much benefit from a magnum out of a barrel shorter than 4”.
You might scare a homie to death from the muzzle and gap flash and the louder gunshot.
Imagine getting charged for murder for killing a dude with no bullet holes in his body because you jerked the trigger anticipating the fireball you were about to unleash.
Black stick-up man or car-jack artist laying on the street with his eyeballs buggin’ out, his pants full of hits own shit, his lips pulled back to show all his teefs…stone cold dead and not a mark on him.

You are still gonna have to send it in to S&W to replace the blast shield every so many rounds and the recoil will still be more than a comparable frame made from aluminum or steel. Scandium is a fricking meme.
You can remove some mass from the hammer to make it hit harder. Buy a replacement hammer and start drilling holes in it or removing other non-crucial bits.

Again: Force = Mass x Acceleration…his problem is light strikes.
You’ve just told him to remove Mass from the hammer…what is gonna happen to the Force of impact upon the primer?
Math, homie…DO YOU DO IT?
.22 rimfires have notoriously hard primers for design and liability reasons. This is why .22 DA revolvers…like his…have notoriously stiff DA trigger pulls.
I have a Harry-Dickie Model 940…and I too, get light strikes or hard primers.
That’s why I’m asking him these questions and talking him through this.

Wait a minute there, Browning !
You didn’t say a fricking thing about a more powerful mainspring in your first ignorant post:
>You can remove some mass from the hammer to make it hit harder. Buy a replacement hammer and start drilling holes in it or removing other non-crucial bits.<
or your second fountain of stupidity:
>You're a fricking idiot. Light hammers are how competition shooters retain reliable ignition with lower power springs.<
…in fact, you’re yammering about LOWER power springs… yeah, Newton, you’re REALLY showing your expertise here.
You obviously have no clue how these hammers WORK.
The mainspring does NOT power the hammer all the way in to strike the primer. The acceleration from the spring stops a millisecond prior, and the actual strike on the primer is from the MOMENTUM of the accelerated Mass of the hammer itself.
That is why the hammer rebounds slightly after striking the primer and withdraws the nose back into the recoil shield.
If you owned a Harry-Dickie, you could clearly see this when you open the cylinder and LOOK at the recoil shield hole where the firing pin passes through.
The firing pin does NOT protrude until the gun is wienered and the trigger releases the hammer.
Holmes can try this himself with his action open.
You have no earthly idea how many times I’ve had my 940 apart, you moron.
When I tell him NOT TO REMOVE the lockwork, I’m speaking from experience.
You’re talking out of your fricking ass.
If he takes a Dremel tool and Bubbas his hammer, and that does NOT work, NOW what does he have to do?
Oh, get another hammer…and how do you replace the hammer on a Harry-Dickie?

>competition shooters reduce the hammer mass and velocity >competition revolvers notoriously unreliable >notoriously it hits harder with less mass and velocity some how
No, not really. The miniscule gain on acceleration you get from the same mainspring you lose in the lighter Mass from the Bubba’d hammer.
That MEANS that while you may have 3 Red c**t Hairs’ worth of increased velocity, you lose the momentum from the lost mass…and it’s the momentum that actually causes the hammer nose to impact the primer.
You haven’t GAINED anything…except now you have a Bubba’d hammer on your cool old top break revolver.
Just generally speaking, probably 75% of the time someone talks about taking a Dremel tool with a cutting wheel or a grinding stone to a gun, you might as well lube your ass and shove that Dremel tool…and the gun…as far up your own ass as you can reach for all the good it’s gonna do you when you’re done.
At least the gun might be cleaned and repaired by someone who has a clue afterwards…
Same LGS has this Taurus in 357 for $400.
Good deal or stay away? Looks like it's 80s/90s production.
Timing seemed mostly ok, but a little more wiggle on one chamber than the rest.
Not sure about that but I picked up a Rossi 371 for about 360 near a year ago and had no regrets it shoots lights out. All I had to do was put a drop of locktight on some of the screws that came loose.
You can get a hogue and shave it down with a dremel. If that's still too big then you are a handlet like me and the gun is just too big for you. I ended up selling my GP100. It's a fricking brick compared to a nice svelte K/L frame.
I never understood why Ruger didn't just make the whole revolver the same color. I'd've bought a blued GP100 if the hammer and trigger were the same color as the rest of the gun.
Notable exceptions are classically-styled single actions which mix color case hardening and brass with blued and stainless, those aesthetics make sense
Fricking butthole with his drill and his Dremel tool babbling about Bubbaing the hammer on a Harry-Dickie just pisses me off no end.
Like this design wasn’t engineered and oerfected in the 19-fricking-20s…they made these little can-killers into the 1980s, for frick’s sake…
But here this moron is “advising” some dude to cut of his balls so that he shoots his sperm harder out of his dick.
This butthole reminds of that clown with his JooTube channel who thinks firing 500 rounds of mixed shells out of a semi-auto as fast as he and his idiot friends can pull the trigger and reload somehow proves what a “piece of shit Turkish shotguns are”.
I’m sure he buys a new car, gets in, starts the engine, and revs the thing to redline sitting in his fricking driveway for a full tank of gas to see if it breaks or not.
If it does, then it’s the CAR’S fault…because THAT’S how we drive cars or shoot shotguns, right?
The new ones are closer to $600 after tax, near me at least. I was going for col factor though. I don't own any revolvers' and the only ones that really interest me are older smiths.
Yes, you should only carry and shoot +P for your “war load”.
If that’s a Model 38, try not to do that at all. The steel frame Model 49 is more forgiving, but not recommended.
As for your deal? You got hosed.
Assuming that it’s an Airweight, you can buy Model 638s NIB for $519 all day long on GunBuckBroker…and that’s WITH The Smitty warranty, (whatever THAT’S worth nowadays).
The Silver steelie colored guns ain’t my bag, personally. I like the blues models, but if it works and it shoots well within 15 yards or so in SA, and prints on a torso target at 5-10 yards in DA,( point-shooting, mah homie), then frick it…be happy.
You didn’t do too badly.
My Model 38 was gnarly looking when I bought it, which was fine because I had it cerakoted to match the color of my hand.
The idea being that if and when I pull it, it’s that much harder for an observer in a split second to determine that I HAVE anything in my mitts.
The first inkling he has that it’s a gun when is when it goes “POP!” several times and he starts leaking and feeling…”not so fresh”.
>Yes, you should only carry and shoot +P for your “war load”. > If that’s a Model 38, try not to do that at all.
Whut. it is indeed a model 38. So no +P?
You’re not going to really gain anything out of +P loads anyway.
What you have there is a Classic “Get OFF me, Black person!” Belly gun.
The .38 Soecial is a moderately powered round, and ai was serious about 15 yards or so being realistic max combat range.
I carry regular old 158 g wad cutters. hollow points aren’t going to reliably expand below 1100-1200 fps, and at best you MIGHT get high 900s from that 1.9” barrel,
Better to use the gatt to drill nice deep wound channels up under the rib cage and into the pump and air-conditioning system..two r three times.
The classic example of this kind of engagement using a very similar rod, (aColt Cobra), was Jack Ruby ventilating Lee Harvey Patsy in the Dallas PD basement.
One or two shots where it counted, and the li’l homie was Canceled For Christmas…despite being whisked off to the Parkland ER within minutes.
There’s an autopsy photo of LHO taken on the slab showing JooJack’s Hebrew Handiwork on the left side of Lee’s chest.
Good to know. I will probably rarely carry the thing instead of my boring old p365xl anyways. I just think old smiths are cool and I don't own any snub noses.
Dredge through those crack-smokers’ offerings. Some of them pay shipping. Then you have to just eat the FFL Transfer fee if it’s interstate.
Like I said, Pistolero there at least got to handle and look at and finger-frick the piece BEFORE he plunked down his shekels, so it’s not THAT bad a deal just for the Peace of Mind that he got something that feels and looks right to him.
I don't get why they keep it. it has to cost money to machine. nobody really wants it, anyone who wants to lock up their gun wont trust it and will use an external one anyway. are there any states that require it?
> We first saw Mr. Oswald in the Parkland emergency room No. 2 around 11:30 a.m. (CST) Sunday, Nov. 24. At that time, he was unconscious, had no blood pressure, but made agonal respiratory efforts (dying gasps).
"The endotracheal tube was placed (in his throat to aid breathing) by Dr. M.T. Jenkins, chief of anesthesia. Intravenous fluids and blood were started (in the veins).
"There was a gunshot wound entrance over the left lower lateral (lower left rids) chest wall and the bullet could be felt in the subcutaneous tissue (beneath the skin) on the opposite side of the body, over the right lower lateral chest cage.
"It was probable, from his condition, that the bullet had injured the major blood vessels, aorta (main artery from the heart) and vena cava below the diaphragm. Consequently, he was taken immediately to the operating room and through a mid-line abdominal incision, the abdomen was exposed.
"Several liters (a liter is 1.057 quarts) of blood were immediately encountered. Exploration revealed that the bullet had gone from the left to right, injuring the spleen, pancreas, aorta, vena cava, right kidney and right lobe of the liver. The bullet then came to rest in the right chest wall.<
As far as I’ve been able to determine, thes bullet that gakked Oswald was a 158gr LRN out of a two inch Colt barrel.
I got a used h&r with swappable cylinders. It’s fun for plinking, and the mag cylinder is a nice next step when taking someone shooting for their first time..
they're fun as frick and you won't toss brass all over your property while walking around shooting random stuff. Also decent to teach good handgun fundamentals to first timers or put down the neighbors cat.
It offers utility but you probably won't be using the 22WMR cylinder very often. I wouldn't lose sleep picking up a revolver that only had the 22LR cylinder. That's all I ever shoot through mine.
Im excited. Put a Ruger Alaskan on layaway. Got about a month before I’ll be able to take it home. What do you guys recommend for 454 casull rounds for something extra snappy, and what 45 Lc is good for general target practice?
I hear they are a decent middling option these days. Pic rel is my Rossi 371. I think it was made in the early 2000s but I'm actually quite happy with it considering I got it for dirt cheap with really low expectations.
Mine was kinda dry internally NIB. If you're too pussy to open it up at least shoot some lube into the hammer and trigger slots and work the action a few times. Here's how you disassemble the cylinder for cleaning: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=I6lQprzO1nw
I love this goddamn gun so much. It is truly the revolver, perfected
.41 is cool
SP101 vs LCR for carry? I know the LCR is crazy light and that gives it an edge but I just know I'd hate shooting it.
I've owned both. The 101 is really heavy compared to the LCR. If you're one to make mods to your guns, the LCR has more available for it. The 101 has a hefty frickin trigger pull (15lbs), compared to the LCR (~7lbs). If you're a beefier guy, the 101 should be fine for hip carrying. I carry on my ankle most days so that's why I got an LCR for the lighter form factor but also lighter trigger pull.
Kek
I remember I took mine to the range with 100 rnds
At rnd 96 my index finger literally ran out of strength. I had to squeeze off the last 5 ends with two fingers
T. Wristlet
You just need to do more dryfire. It's like anything else physical if you want to be good at it you have to be consistent about exercising it.
The LCR has a phenomenal trigger for a double action revolver, especially the center fired ones. The rimfires are a little stiffer. The only issue is that the reset is a little long and there's a false reset, but it's easy to get used to.
The 3" makes a great pack gun for doming gators with hardcasts, soft points or fmj .357. I carry a snubby since the largest thing I'll ever encounter is mountain lion these days, but I've always had a special boner for lcrs and j-frames.
If you're gonna want to pocket carry get the lighter LCR. If you're gonna carry IWB it don't matter. That said I don't see the SP101 having any reason to exist now when Taurus is making solid guns for like half the price in the same form factor(+1 extra shot on .38 only models) and the triggers are better out of the box because no cast frame slop.
SP101 if .357, LCR if .38
Overall if you aren't shooting magnum loads or being a giant homosexual the LCR is a really awesome little gun, one of the more fun guns I own. Does have the airweight sting to it though.
Anyone have experience with the Ruger SP101?
yeah they're fine
bit heavy
I got a ruger blackhawk last weekend. Pretty cool gun
Been wanting one of these for a while now, but for 1200-1300$ it's hard to justify that price. Do I send it?
Also post cap & ball torture
Yes
You won’t regret it
>dude trust me
Buy the LeMat. b***hes love LeMat.
more like leflimsy loading lever. watch a video of one shooting before you buy it. super silly looking

Seems neat. I bet nobody will buy it but dudes will continue to wonder break action revolvers aren't more popular.
It has none of the benefits of break action so why would anyone who wants break action care
I'll repeat myself,
>I bet nobody will buy it but dudes will continue to wonder break action revolvers aren't more popular.
And you frickers have the gall to wonder why nobody caters to you. Even if someone got around to making the MP412 you gays would complain that it's not $5 and doesn't suck you off and tuck you in at night.

You can, but I haven't yet and not sure if I will

How's the recoil on that? I went for the Smith for the more comfortable grip, but wonder what could have been.
The recoil is beyond manageable, this weighs like 4 pounds unloaded. I mean, its loud and the recoil is crazy, but nothing nearly as bad as what I had pictured in my head before I bought it.
I love it! Just got myself a chest holster for it from Diamond D Leather, comfortable as frick
I considered a chest holster myself, but I really want to get a full leather shoulder holster instead. Seems nobody makes one though. I might have to get a hip holster adn gunbelt so I can shoot cowboy action with full power 460s.
Check out Andrews Custom Leather, they make a shoulder holster called the Springbreak for all different kinds of revolvers and autoloaders, here's their catalog: http://www.andrewsleather.com/traditional.htm
If you wanna get gucci, you can also get anything in that catalog made in an exotic type of leather, i.e. elephant, ostrich, alligator, etc.
You're gonna rank low and frick up their targets. That would be pretty funny to watch.
I've never shot competition before, so ranking low is a given. Figured I'd just mess around so at least I can enjoy myself and hopefully make the cowboy guys smile.
Guy I was buying from had this on his mantle. Said it was an early 2003 product.
> every chamber blown out
Guy that you bought from is a confirmed moron
I only see three missing? isn't that how revolvers usually fail?
Last shitiy pic I got. Guy is going in his old age.
Gramp's old Undercover, continuing his legacy of illegally carrying
I'm thinking about a 22lr Ruger LCR as a backup carry gun but that 1.87" barrel worries me. Would it be able to reliably penetrate rib bones and the skull still?
get a 3" barrel with 60gr Aquila SubSonic. Whether it penetrates the skull or not, it's like being punched with a knuckleduster
I've also been thinking about the LCRx but the extra size kinda defeats the point of it being a backup gun.
Why wouldn’t you get it in 357?
Because .357 out of small guns is for fricking morons who don't understand handgun terminal ballistics or shoot enough to git gud.
It’s fricking better than a .22.
I would argue it's not. I bet I could get off 3 .22s at least in the time it takes you to fire twice and with the soft recoil I'd be more likely to get hits too probably. 6-8 .22lrs to the face in a couple of seconds is plenty persuasive.
You sound like you have baby hands and can’t handle 357 recoil out of a j-frame. Or are you a woman? Only people I know that carry .22 are girls.
>t. the man who has never actually fired a .357 snubbie
It's literally not that bad.
38 special +p carries more energy and velocity by weight than 380 acp from a snubby barrel vs a semi auto like the lcp or p238. It will penetrate fine with minimal recoil.
A standard velocity hard cast 158gr SWC or 148gr WC will completely penetrate a human torso no problem.
if you're already min/maxxing for lightest, most reliable carry method, then you'd want the original .38spl+P for lightest version.
The .357 came out years later because it fits the niche of an ultralight carry revolver less, but still has clear advantages.
Those orange grips are so sick. Where you buy them?
pretty sure he cast them himself out of resin, I remember seeing early ones with bubbles he was unhappy with
Noise and capacity are the main ones
luv muh super blackhawk.
That's the newer version with that gay ass scope mount rail. Fricking trash
I can't really put my finger on exactly why, but I just don't like how the Kimbers look.
>Shitty finish
>Oddly flat-sided cylinder
>Ugly square cylinder release
>Sight looks like an afterthought
>Oval trigger guard
I can see why some people wouldn't like them. they don't have the classic style of smiths and colts. I like them because I feel like they take the basic style of rugers, but instead of being lumpy in weird places they have a sort of modern angular look
And they function even worse worse they look.
You are absolutely not speaking from experience.
Kimber has been know to be absolute trash tier firearms for 30 years give or take.
Management, ownership, factory location, and manufacturing changes in the last few years notwithstanding.
But in all seriousness:
K6 is made from bar stock without any of the MIM parts that COHEN used to destroy Kimber's reputation. Although he is currently running the same train on Sig with absolutely no consequences.
TL;DR
The K6 (especially DAO models) have an immediate, discernible quality that is both tangible and measurable from manufacture to market. This also differentiates it from market peers.
>simping for a company that makes GUNS for KILLING people, proubably POC too

It’s settled, I’m buying a kimber now. You’re a great salesman.

Ahh, beauty and the beholder, etc etc

This is just flat out wrong.
I loved my first one so much I bought another one.
>inb4 Kimber fan boy go back
Scored picrel off GunBroker for $250. It's ugly but it locks up tight and the action is smooth. Didn't realize you could still find cheap Model 10s out there.
I've always wanted an old .38 you know? Live out the 'Noir Detective' fantasy
I was thinking of getting a snubnose for CC, but I'm not sure what kind of round I should be looking at. I mean, if I go with something like 9mm, it doesn't really seem worth it to use a revolver in comparison to a normal subcompact pistol. But when you get into the territory of .38/.357 etc., most concealable revolvers seem to drop their capacity to 5 rounds for whatever reason.
I mean, I get that capacity has never been a strong suite for revolvers, but I can't imagine not having at LEAST 6 rounds - I've even seen some normal sized ones with 7 (or more if you want a .22 plinker), but I've not had a ton of luck finding that in a small enough package to use as a daily carry.
TL;DR you guys got any snubnose CC recs?
GP100 or SP101
>GP100
>Concealed Carry
lol no
J/K frame, Dick Special, LCR.
I've seen tiny women conceal full size autoloaders, I'm sure he can manage to conceal a snub GP100.
I've concealed carried a Beretta 92FS for a couple years. Just because you can doesn't mean you should.
Must be your giant moron brain that you can't understand it was designed as a duty weapon by Ruger and the SP-101 for concealed carry.
You can conceal carry a Desert Eagle if you invest in a good holster and belt along with dressing around it. It's better to buy a small tupperware 9mm and rock on homiea.
A dealer has much longer and thicker grip, grip size is about 90% of CC issues.
Anything else is fine as long as you wear a belt, and don't wear gay pants.
Barrel length doesn't matter as long as it doest go down further than your hip joint, and even then if it does slightly it's not much of a real issue.
>You can conceal carry a Desert Eagle if you invest in a good holster and belt along with dressing around it. It's better to buy a small tupperware 9mm
You sure can and it definitely blows the competition away
Damn. Made my dick twitch a little.

Stay mad manlet
anon its not impressive that you CC a big gun. its only impressive if you can do it without printing. this is the part where you sperg out about how printing doesn't matter or how i should stop wearing skinny jeans.
The GP100 doesn't print anymore than a g19
1. printing is a spectrum and for the most part it doesn't matter
2. you should stop wearing skinny jeans
3. you are fat
4. they make 2.50" gp100s, you should able to fully conceal that with zero problems
>3. you are fat
fat people print less
>4. they make 2.50" gp100s
gp100 is still fat as frick
go ahead and CC it if you want though, you are right that for the most part printing doesn't matter
The cylinder is fat, but it is under the belt and you can't tell, the grip is the only thing above the belt line, and that isn't any fatter than a double stack grip.
i just say it's a banana if people ask
>whats a good snub
>gp100
>now you cant conceal that
>yes you can
>okay you can but you shouldnt
lmao
are you fricking moronic?
You can conceal anything. Objectively taking large guns for the purpose of not being seen is counter productive. you are like those boomer tards that keep raising the size level.
>if you can carry an LCP, why not a Glock 26
>If you carry a Glock 26, why not a Glock 19
>if you carry a G19, why not a USP9
>if you carry a USP9, why not a Mk23
The GP100 is a fine revolver Anon, but it's a poor carry gun unless it's all you have.
I own a g26, 19, and 17
Unironically the 26 is the hardest to carry, and the 17 the easiest.
Innaresting.
Would the 43X be any better than the 26?
Perhaps, the problem with the 26 is its thickness to length ratio is off, so any pressure on the back of the gun makes it want to flip out and wierd shot happens, since the 43x is narrower, and maybe a touch longer it might do better
It's not. The 26 carries better than both the 43X & 17. Anon bought a shitty holster and can't figure out basic physics.
> t. Professional moron
Yeah, gamer guns will get you killed. Don't frick with your hammer spring or rebound spring if you are using it for a weapon
No you don't you stupid frick
No, Anon reads about it on the internet instead of owning or shooting them. The Scandium guns are stronger than aluminum guns by nature, so Anon is a moron. You DO NOT need to replace the blast shield unless it fall off and you lose it. It's literally there to help prevent topstrap erosion which is an issue with ANY revolver with enough rounds.
Scandium guns are pipebombs anon, stop coping so hard.
Gp100 is heavy and only offers 1 extra shot over an sp101, or lcr for that matter.
It's like 10oz heavier than a SP101? I like the look of GP100 more anyway and I recommended both GP100 and SP101 so I don't know why anyone is nitpicking.
Based, it's the patrician choice
>He thinks the GP100 is better than the Security Six.
yikes
No you don't. Post it. Timestamp it. Even then, no you don't.
The main issue is weight, especially if you like pocket carrying.
Not him, but I CC a 6" GP100, posted already ITT
Pocket carrying is not a viable carrying method, moron
I carry a gun in my pocket every day. Also one on my belt.
>"But anon, revolvers have such low capacity, what happens when you run out of ammo and have to reload?"
I don't I pull out another revolver and start blasting again, fricker will have shit flying out of his butthole in shock whilst also falling to the floor. New York reload is the only way.
Reloads are a meme. I carry two guns because:
1) The tactical benefit of a pocket gun mentioned above
2) I can easily reach a gun with each hand
3) If I had no pocket gun I might carry snacks in that pocket and become a degenerate fatty
Active Self Protection's John talks about how often he sees a private citizen need a reload in the 40k+ defensive uses he's watched (spoiler, it's zero times) and does a little math to rationalize why he personally feels a reload isn't worth carrying.
>one in a million chance you'll pull your gun in your lifetime
>worrying about statistics
I ain't worried. Black folk walking around like pic related are worried.
Nah he ain't worried, hes badass.
I have a buddy that worked with that guy up in Iowa. He was as big of a homosexual as he looks apparently.
>when you are so much of a tacticool homosexual, you get recognized on a Dominican Cigar Factory
The best part is, my buddy sent me a snapchat of him loke a week before i saw that pic surface. He owns nothing but sigs, like 8 different 320s, and shills them constantly. He has gotten a few free ones from sig through their dealer incentive program, but he is 100% the gun shop guy that takes whatever you're looking for and tells you that you want a sig instead. Fricking pottery
I don't mind Sig and I own a few, but their fanboys are truly insufferable. It seems like every time I go to the handgun range one of the lanes next to me has 3 or 4 dudes stacked up in it sharing 2 or 3 Sigs and glowing over how amazing they are and I cringe so hard I have to go home.
If he's gonna be doing all this extra shit he could have at least rigged the mags to the holsters for 1 handed dual wielding reloads like Master Chief
Give me a legitimate reason why it's worse than iwb, especially from behind.

Pocket carry has a HUGE tactical advantage that waist carry does not. It is very unobtrusive to have your hand in your pocket...not so much your hand up your shirt.

Absolute gigachad. I want to carry a model 69 or 629 N frame 3 in. because 44 special and magnum is fricking awesome and reloading for it is a blast.
Hello fren
Whats wrong with a GP100, about the same size as an L frame smith and people carry those all the time, weight isnt as much of a factor as you think so long as you have a study belt and holster combo. Under a loose shirt it hides perfectly fine. Hell, I have seen people carry N frame smiths with no problem. I want to carry a model 69 eventually in an OWB pancake holster.
It's a service weapon Anon. It was designed to be carried in an open holster. The L/N frames were too.
It's this fricking stupid shit where people keep pushing for xbox huge carry guns when homies be like "I want a small pistol so people can't see it because I will get fired/arrested if someone sees".
I wish S&W would bring back the I-frame chambered in .32H&R Mag.
But people have and do ccw them on a regular basis. Why do you seem to have such a big problem with that? It may not work for you, but it could for the other anon. Smells a slight bit like jealousy to me to be quite honest.
>I'm jealous of people carrying large guns
>not because being pragmatic in that a smaller gun is obviously easier to conceal
>especially when you are carrying in a no-go area
Printing at Walmart is different than printing in a Federal building or hospital.
>I wish S&W would bring back the I-frame

Get a Taurus 856. 6 shots of 38spl in a size comparable to a Colt D frame(detective special). they make steel and aluminum frames. They also have one with a 3"bbl if you're not worried about pocket carry. That one even comes with a front night sight.
I love you fitz special anon
wow those are cute, I'll look into it
You can look into it right here. This one is just north of 2K rounds through it.
man, I've came close but Taurus part policy is moronic. Frick surfing egay or buying a parts kit for a firing pin or hand.
I've never had a Taurus break. Pic related is late 70s/early 80s it also ran like a top. If you can do a proper inspection before purchase your chances of getting a lemon with any brand goes down dramatically.
https://www.thesixgunjournal.net/a-revolver-buyers-checklist/
you haven't, but I have on an 85 and know a couple guys that have broken their 856 firing pins.
The 85 wasn't too bad to replace a hand since it was in production for so long, but I wasn't paying $80 to for Taurus to replace a $15 part.
The other 856 guys in fairness did get their firing pins replaced in a quick turn around.
Yeah you gotta remember Taurus has been under new management for several years now and has been doing a great job imo. Also 856s are so affordable. It's kind of insane. Before the panic my LGS was selling the black carbon steel model for $199. I paid $250 for my 2" and $350 for my 3". If you want a 3" no one else even comes close to the value. Pic related is kinda old now so I don't know if the prices are as accurate but the differential is probably the same.
Oh hey my chart, I guess I might make a new one soon, a 3.0 for 2023
I almost bought the basic stainless 856 for $280 but it was a big box store with that moronic can't remove a trigger lock to check lockup or timing.
I want the 3" Defender with Hogues since 3" J-frames are too fricking high with boomer tax and replaceable front sight.
Clearly the best option is a S&W snubnose .38 with a shrouded hammer.

Never heard of this before. Is this fuddlore?
If I could find a decent chronograph I'd be able to tell you
can you not do a google search?
But without a hammer how do you wiener the hammer right before delivering a witty one liner before confirming a kill?
Shrouded hammer means you can still wiener it
Ah my bad. Never seen one in person. Just assumed it was the same as a hammerless. Either way I’ve never understood the desire to minimize the hammer. It’s there for a reason, if you don’t like it used a striker fired.
Depending on what type of "hammerless" you get you can wiener those too. Start the hammer with the trigger and get your thumb in the gap and put it in single action. A true dao will have a fully internal hammer.
Some may like that but having a DA only revolver seems so anti revolver to me. I like having the control over the mechanism and the ability to wiener it in order to make a more accurate first shot. Even at close range I’d prefer a tap to shoot trigger.
You feel that way because you have never put in the work to git gud on the DA trigger. If you did put in the work you'd have confidence in your ability to make hits with the DA trigger.
not necessarily. the no.2 has an exposed hammer but no locking surface so even if pulled it wont stay wienered.
Yep. That's a true DAO. But my main point I guess is that some hammerless revolvers get called DAO's even by the manufacturer. But mechanically you can still run them single action with a little bit of work.
>Either way I’ve never understood the desire to minimize the hammer.
There's no reason for single action on a fighting revolver. Single action is for target work. There's no problem carrying a revolver with a hammer though like some gays claim but there's no DGU scenario where you would benefit from SA.
INB4 some shit like "muh hostage rescue threading the needle shot" or "muh 50yd sheedawg rescue shot" or any other larping .0000001% probability bullshit.
>muh 50yd sheedawg rescue shot
Can't speak for heavier guns but I can hit everything in D/A that I can in S/A with my LCR.
shrouded hammers are ugly
You're ugly.
you're damn right I am
and as such I'm an authority on recognizing ugliness; shrouded hammers are ugly
GP100 is a fricking brick. If you like toting one around in your pants go for it but don't act like it's an optimal CC piece because it's not.
Ruger thread now.
Mine jus got some action yesterday.
How you like that wrangler? I went with a rough rider instead and everyone said it would be shit. It's easily my most accurate handgun. Thinking about a wrangler to round out the herd.
hey lads, i wanna get a revolver, for the range. 6" barrel.
$600-800 budget used. what can you recommend
GP100 is ~$700 new.
already have a mark 4, i dont want another ruger, nothing wrong with it, i dont want the same brand twice unless its a berretta
Then have a nice day autistic spazoid.
>i dont want the same brand twice
This is my baseline principal as well, from which I deviate on occasion
you could probably find a used S&W 686 in that price range

You're probably trolling but w/e.
I would love to take you to the range and watch you shoot 200 of my .38spl loads in a single session from my 442. No gloves. Small guns are pros guns for a reason. If you're not a pro you can still do okay but don't gimp yourself with added complications like excessive recoil.
>I would love to take you to the range and watch you shoot 200 of my .38spl loads in a single session from my 442
I've fired 150 rounds of federal 158gr .357 out of my snubby lcr in a single trip and it was just fine. Quit being a gargantuan pussy, 38 special +p recoils less than 9mm does. An immediate life and death scenario is not the time to worry about unobtrusive recoil, especially out of a gun that's impossible to limp-wrist f2f.
lol you do you bro. I'd rather shoot faster and not blind myself or blow my ears out if I ever have to use the fricker indoors than have my bullets fly even further out the other side of the target.
Small .357s are fricking moronic.
Then shoot .38 special out of it.
Then why buy a heavier and pricier 357 that probably has 1 less round than if it was a .38? Nobody makes a 6 shot 357 snub in a small frame because they can't. You'd buy a shittier carry gun to be able to make fireballs at the range? Weird flex but acceptable.
> 357 that probably has 1 less round than if it was a .38?
Maybe you’re new to the whole guns thing, but the market is FULL of j-frame 5 shot 38s, and I’ve never seen a 6 shot j-frame 38. There is no noticeable difference in length or weight between my 38 and 357 j frames, so no reason not to go 357.
>I’ve never seen a 6 shot j-frame 38
pic related and the Taurus 856 would like to have a word with you.
That's hot. I wonder if they make the grip for the police positive. My det spl is a square butt

Don't be moronic. Taurus has made the 605 for decades.

Wheelies!
.380 Magnum S&W 360
Reminder that you've never really experienced fun unless you've loaded your chambers with a random mix of .38 special and .357 mag and try to guess which it will be when you pull the trigger next
To raise fun to the max, up to 44 specials and magnums
>.44 special
I like fun too but that's kind of an expensive fun
random mix isn't quite right, I like to do either just one 357 or two with one 38 between them, then give the cylinder a spin before closing it
what model is that
686+
>6 shot K-frame at only 18 oz
Smith plz bring back the Model 12 but with a 3 inch barrel, Taurus is making you look foolish

Got an offer for 15% as soon as I watched it. Nice.
See a lot of talk about the LCR and SP101 for a snub .357, but hows the 2" Model 60 compare?
It's all the same differences between an LCR and a J-frame.
LGS had them on sale for 850 and the finish/trigger is way nicer than a Ruger or Smith around the same cost, plus King Cobra is the coolest name for a revolver I've ever heard. I'm loving it so far.
bulleit bourbon is good with iced tea
Should I buy this for ~700? 357 mag 5" w/ nice rubber grips to complement the black on black look.
Not in my ownership, but LGS has it for $900 used. Cop or pass? I know it's there because it's a 44 with a Scandium frame, so it's probably punishing to shoot.
Price id imagine is fine but personally I wouldn’t get a .44 that small or light. If I was to own a .44 I’d just go full 6+ inch barrel for control.
Really fragile gun that sucks to shoot and has to be sent back to the factory every 1,000 rounds to have a blast shield replaced, pass.
Noted. I forwarded the deal to a friend who has more money than sense. If he gets it I will attempt to shoot full power 44 out of it for the lulz.
>he believes this
The Scandium & AL frame guns are not as fragile as you think. The blast shield is user replaceable and can go well past 1,000 rounds gay.

And the captcha system here is terrible.
People really buy cucked hillary hole guns? Yikes.
Scandium is a meme for collectors and morons. It's meant to be carried a lot and shot very little.
I always think about getting a scandium .357mag and just shooting and training mostly with .38spl. I figure it should hold up fine to .38s and be very shootable but still also very carriable walking around with .357. Obviously you couldn't load it up with balls to the wall magnum loads all the time, even the regular steel guns barely take that treatment.
Unless the piece has a 4” barrel, I wouldn’t bother with magnum loads.
You’re not really gonna get much benefit from a magnum out of a barrel shorter than 4”.
You might scare a homie to death from the muzzle and gap flash and the louder gunshot.
>scare a homie to death
Fundamentally this is the entire point if you're honest about it.
Imagine getting charged for murder for killing a dude with no bullet holes in his body because you jerked the trigger anticipating the fireball you were about to unleash.
That WOULD be pretty frickin’ BOSS, gotta admit.
Black stick-up man or car-jack artist laying on the street with his eyeballs buggin’ out, his pants full of hits own shit, his lips pulled back to show all his teefs…stone cold dead and not a mark on him.
And you sitting there like:
“ Hey, it was a frickin’ WARNING SHOT. Suck my dick, already!”
OTOH, if he DOESN'T end up going to Black Heaven, he’ll sue your ass for his crippling hearing loss and his PTSD n’shit.
You are still gonna have to send it in to S&W to replace the blast shield every so many rounds and the recoil will still be more than a comparable frame made from aluminum or steel. Scandium is a fricking meme.
Even from .38spl? Is scandium made of cheese?
>Is scandium made of cheese?
Yes and it's a soft cheese like brie.
Also old pic of my 999
It's been light striking consistently. I replaced the hammer strut but it is still doing it. Anyone know what to try next?
You replaced the hammer strut and mainspring?
Did you remember to take the paper clip out of the hole you had to use to compress the spring?
Did you make sure to put the yoke into the hammer correctly?
Do NOT take the lockwork apart. You will need to have everything just so and slave pins to drive through to get it all back into the frame.
You will be doing this a few dozen times.
(Ask me how I know).
Look closeky at the hammer nose. Is it damaged?
Look closely also at the cylinder chambers...are they dented from some clown dry firing the piece?
You can remove some mass from the hammer to make it hit harder. Buy a replacement hammer and start drilling holes in it or removing other non-crucial bits.
Do NOT recommend this.
Force = Mass x Acceleration. You’re not going to get harder strikes with a lightened hammer.
Do NOT remove the hammer. It will be Holy Hell to get it and all the lockwork back up into the frame.
You're a fricking idiot. Light hammers are how competition shooters retain reliable ignition with lower power springs.

> Light hammers are how competition shooters retain reliable ignition with lower power springs.<
“Competition shooters”…SMDH!
LOOK at the guy’s piece, you fricking half-wit!
It’s a Harry-Dickie top break .22 from the 1960s or 70s.
Does that LOOK like a fricking Target Pistol to you, you slobbering moron?
Do you think he’s shooting match grade ammo from it, or is he grabbing a bunch of mass produced rounds from a “carton o’ bullets” he bought at Walmart?
What an absolute Black personl you are.
Physics much, Brain-Box Boy?
Again: Force = Mass x Acceleration…his problem is light strikes.
You’ve just told him to remove Mass from the hammer…what is gonna happen to the Force of impact upon the primer?
Math, homie…DO YOU DO IT?
.22 rimfires have notoriously hard primers for design and liability reasons. This is why .22 DA revolvers…like his…have notoriously stiff DA trigger pulls.
I have a Harry-Dickie Model 940…and I too, get light strikes or hard primers.
That’s why I’m asking him these questions and talking him through this.
If anything, he needs a STRONGER mainspring, NOT a lighter hammer.
Jesus fricking Christ, some of you crack-smoking homiez on this board…
>If anything, he needs a STRONGER mainspring, NOT a lighter hammer.
lol fricking brainlet. Both of those alter the equation in the same way from different ends of the equation. Does anyone make +power springs for that gun? I'd go that way first but if not I'd be cutting on the hammer.
>Both of those alter the equation in the same way from different ends of the equation.
Uh... Yeah? but one of them INCREASES force, and the other DECREASES force.
Bless your heart you don't understand how anything works and I don't care anymore that you don't get it.
> Both of those alter the equation in the same way from different ends of the equation. Does anyone make +power springs for that gun? I'd go that way first but if not I'd be cutting on the hammer.<
Wait a minute there, Browning !
You didn’t say a fricking thing about a more powerful mainspring in your first ignorant post:
>You can remove some mass from the hammer to make it hit harder. Buy a replacement hammer and start drilling holes in it or removing other non-crucial bits.<
or your second fountain of stupidity:
>You're a fricking idiot. Light hammers are how competition shooters retain reliable ignition with lower power springs.<
…in fact, you’re yammering about LOWER power springs… yeah, Newton, you’re REALLY showing your expertise here.
You obviously have no clue how these hammers WORK.
The mainspring does NOT power the hammer all the way in to strike the primer. The acceleration from the spring stops a millisecond prior, and the actual strike on the primer is from the MOMENTUM of the accelerated Mass of the hammer itself.
That is why the hammer rebounds slightly after striking the primer and withdraws the nose back into the recoil shield.
If you owned a Harry-Dickie, you could clearly see this when you open the cylinder and LOOK at the recoil shield hole where the firing pin passes through.
The firing pin does NOT protrude until the gun is wienered and the trigger releases the hammer.
Holmes can try this himself with his action open.
You have no earthly idea how many times I’ve had my 940 apart, you moron.
When I tell him NOT TO REMOVE the lockwork, I’m speaking from experience.
You’re talking out of your fricking ass.
If he takes a Dremel tool and Bubbas his hammer, and that does NOT work, NOW what does he have to do?
Oh, get another hammer…and how do you replace the hammer on a Harry-Dickie?
By dropping the lockwork out of the frame…which I have REPEATEDLY warned him is a royal PITA.
Do us all a favor and go find another board to be an ignorant blowhard homosexual on, huh?
Holy shit, you type like a moronic boomer.
>competition shooters reduce the hammer mass and velocity
>competition revolvers notoriously unreliable
>notoriously it hits harder with less mass and velocity some how
>Force = Mass x Acceleration. You’re not going to get harder strikes with a lightened hammer.
If you get faster acceleration you might.
No, not really. The miniscule gain on acceleration you get from the same mainspring you lose in the lighter Mass from the Bubba’d hammer.
That MEANS that while you may have 3 Red c**t Hairs’ worth of increased velocity, you lose the momentum from the lost mass…and it’s the momentum that actually causes the hammer nose to impact the primer.
You haven’t GAINED anything…except now you have a Bubba’d hammer on your cool old top break revolver.
Just generally speaking, probably 75% of the time someone talks about taking a Dremel tool with a cutting wheel or a grinding stone to a gun, you might as well lube your ass and shove that Dremel tool…and the gun…as far up your own ass as you can reach for all the good it’s gonna do you when you’re done.
At least the gun might be cleaned and repaired by someone who has a clue afterwards…
Same LGS has this Taurus in 357 for $400.
Good deal or stay away? Looks like it's 80s/90s production.
Timing seemed mostly ok, but a little more wiggle on one chamber than the rest.
Not sure about that but I picked up a Rossi 371 for about 360 near a year ago and had no regrets it shoots lights out. All I had to do was put a drop of locktight on some of the screws that came loose.
What's a good grip for the GP100? The stock grip with wood insert is too large for me. Would the Hogue be better?
Hogue yeah. Everyone does. They just work.
With or without finger grooves?
You can get a hogue and shave it down with a dremel. If that's still too big then you are a handlet like me and the gun is just too big for you. I ended up selling my GP100. It's a fricking brick compared to a nice svelte K/L frame.
I never understood why Ruger didn't just make the whole revolver the same color. I'd've bought a blued GP100 if the hammer and trigger were the same color as the rest of the gun.
Notable exceptions are classically-styled single actions which mix color case hardening and brass with blued and stainless, those aesthetics make sense
I want either big boy bullet or a ccw 38spl p later tho
Spin it to win it
Fricking butthole with his drill and his Dremel tool babbling about Bubbaing the hammer on a Harry-Dickie just pisses me off no end.
Like this design wasn’t engineered and oerfected in the 19-fricking-20s…they made these little can-killers into the 1980s, for frick’s sake…
But here this moron is “advising” some dude to cut of his balls so that he shoots his sperm harder out of his dick.
This butthole reminds of that clown with his JooTube channel who thinks firing 500 rounds of mixed shells out of a semi-auto as fast as he and his idiot friends can pull the trigger and reload somehow proves what a “piece of shit Turkish shotguns are”.
I’m sure he buys a new car, gets in, starts the engine, and revs the thing to redline sitting in his fricking driveway for a full tank of gas to see if it breaks or not.
If it does, then it’s the CAR’S fault…because THAT’S how we drive cars or shoot shotguns, right?
I just bought one of these from my LGS for $545 In really nice condition. How did I do?. Can't wait to pick it up in a few days.
Also I should avoid +P with these, right?
I'm not so familiar with all of Smith's J-frames but that's almost expensive as a new one isn't it? Not that it's a bad gun by any means.
The new ones are closer to $600 after tax, near me at least. I was going for col factor though. I don't own any revolvers' and the only ones that really interest me are older smiths.
Yes, you should only carry and shoot +P for your “war load”.
If that’s a Model 38, try not to do that at all. The steel frame Model 49 is more forgiving, but not recommended.
As for your deal? You got hosed.
Assuming that it’s an Airweight, you can buy Model 638s NIB for $519 all day long on GunBuckBroker…and that’s WITH The Smitty warranty, (whatever THAT’S worth nowadays).
The Silver steelie colored guns ain’t my bag, personally. I like the blues models, but if it works and it shoots well within 15 yards or so in SA, and prints on a torso target at 5-10 yards in DA,( point-shooting, mah homie), then frick it…be happy.
You didn’t do too badly.
My Model 38 was gnarly looking when I bought it, which was fine because I had it cerakoted to match the color of my hand.
The idea being that if and when I pull it, it’s that much harder for an observer in a split second to determine that I HAVE anything in my mitts.
The first inkling he has that it’s a gun when is when it goes “POP!” several times and he starts leaking and feeling…”not so fresh”.
>Yes, you should only carry and shoot +P for your “war load”.
> If that’s a Model 38, try not to do that at all.
Whut. it is indeed a model 38. So no +P?
Nope. Try REAL HARD not to.
You’re not going to really gain anything out of +P loads anyway.
What you have there is a Classic “Get OFF me, Black person!” Belly gun.
The .38 Soecial is a moderately powered round, and ai was serious about 15 yards or so being realistic max combat range.
I carry regular old 158 g wad cutters. hollow points aren’t going to reliably expand below 1100-1200 fps, and at best you MIGHT get high 900s from that 1.9” barrel,
Better to use the gatt to drill nice deep wound channels up under the rib cage and into the pump and air-conditioning system..two r three times.
The classic example of this kind of engagement using a very similar rod, (aColt Cobra), was Jack Ruby ventilating Lee Harvey Patsy in the Dallas PD basement.
One or two shots where it counted, and the li’l homie was Canceled For Christmas…despite being whisked off to the Parkland ER within minutes.
There’s an autopsy photo of LHO taken on the slab showing JooJack’s Hebrew Handiwork on the left side of Lee’s chest.
Good to know. I will probably rarely carry the thing instead of my boring old p365xl anyways. I just think old smiths are cool and I don't own any snub noses.
I usually carry mine in a DeSantis Roscoe cross draw.

Great for a carjacking response scenario, and since I habitually wear a suit or blazer, it conceals well.

Dredge through those crack-smokers’ offerings. Some of them pay shipping. Then you have to just eat the FFL Transfer fee if it’s interstate.
Like I said, Pistolero there at least got to handle and look at and finger-frick the piece BEFORE he plunked down his shekels, so it’s not THAT bad a deal just for the Peace of Mind that he got something that feels and looks right to him.

I can hear the anger tremors in your wrists as you clamored to type this and the previous post out lmao. Stay seething gay.
That's a decent price on the resale market. The old ones in good condition sell for quite a bit for some reason. Personally I'd just buy a new one.
It'a because there's no hillary hole and a lot of people do not like current S&W quality. They will only get more expensive as they get rarer.
Explains why I get so many offers on my older model 19, boomers at the range always ask about it
I don't get why they keep it. it has to cost money to machine. nobody really wants it, anyone who wants to lock up their gun wont trust it and will use an external one anyway. are there any states that require it?
Pretty sure they sell some without a hole as well but the vast majority have it.
Only a few models of J frame are sold without the locks. They only did this to appease LE agencies who buy them for backup guns.
Jesus Christ I hate S&W so fricking much it's unreal
I haven't bought a NIB S&W since they put the locks in. I won't until they remove them.
I will honestly never buy a NIB S&W. I am a very spiteful person.

Colt M1917
> We first saw Mr. Oswald in the Parkland emergency room No. 2 around 11:30 a.m. (CST) Sunday, Nov. 24. At that time, he was unconscious, had no blood pressure, but made agonal respiratory efforts (dying gasps).
"The endotracheal tube was placed (in his throat to aid breathing) by Dr. M.T. Jenkins, chief of anesthesia. Intravenous fluids and blood were started (in the veins).
"There was a gunshot wound entrance over the left lower lateral (lower left rids) chest wall and the bullet could be felt in the subcutaneous tissue (beneath the skin) on the opposite side of the body, over the right lower lateral chest cage.
"It was probable, from his condition, that the bullet had injured the major blood vessels, aorta (main artery from the heart) and vena cava below the diaphragm. Consequently, he was taken immediately to the operating room and through a mid-line abdominal incision, the abdomen was exposed.
"Several liters (a liter is 1.057 quarts) of blood were immediately encountered. Exploration revealed that the bullet had gone from the left to right, injuring the spleen, pancreas, aorta, vena cava, right kidney and right lobe of the liver. The bullet then came to rest in the right chest wall.<
As far as I’ve been able to determine, thes bullet that gakked Oswald was a 158gr LRN out of a two inch Colt barrel.
Not too bad. Jack had skills.
What's the consensus on .22LR /.22 mag revolvers with swappable cylinders? Thinking about getting one for plinking.
I got a used h&r with swappable cylinders. It’s fun for plinking, and the mag cylinder is a nice next step when taking someone shooting for their first time..
they're fun as frick and you won't toss brass all over your property while walking around shooting random stuff. Also decent to teach good handgun fundamentals to first timers or put down the neighbors cat.
There's something wrong with that cat.
Well yeah, you wouldn’t put down a healthy cat…
It offers utility but you probably won't be using the 22WMR cylinder very often. I wouldn't lose sleep picking up a revolver that only had the 22LR cylinder. That's all I ever shoot through mine.
Im excited. Put a Ruger Alaskan on layaway. Got about a month before I’ll be able to take it home. What do you guys recommend for 454 casull rounds for something extra snappy, and what 45 Lc is good for general target practice?
New bathroom gun
everything in its right place
I don't mind Taurus to be honest, time will tell on the wheelgat but my G2C is pretty stout
I hear they are a decent middling option these days. Pic rel is my Rossi 371. I think it was made in the early 2000s but I'm actually quite happy with it considering I got it for dirt cheap with really low expectations.
Mine was kinda dry internally NIB. If you're too pussy to open it up at least shoot some lube into the hammer and trigger slots and work the action a few times. Here's how you disassemble the cylinder for cleaning: https://yewtu.be/watch?v=I6lQprzO1nw
Godspeed.
Mine too, I sprayed it's every orifice with remoil and worked the action a good 20 times, felt it get smoother each time I worked it.
