I’ve never taken a J Frame apart
So I just picked up a new M&P 340 that I bought online today.
The trigger is atrocious. Nothing like any of my other hammerless Js. It starts out nice, but hits a wall about 1/3 way through the...
Don’t dry fire SAAs&clones. I think you found out why.
That’s me. I was a scrawny 127 until I was 40, now I’m about 130-135.
I never cared for MMA but I used to do it quite a bit because not many people liked to box and I wanted to spar so sometimes...
I guess one of my 3” SP101s in 357.
That’s just about all I care to put up with when it comes to carry guns anymore.
I just want someone to buy it so I don’t!
Last time I went in there I bought a 3” SP101.
A dealer in Sinton had a very lightly used 4” not too long ago. I can see if he still has it if you want..
All the ones I’ve seen were on the tight end of all the chamber and bore dimensions. Makes em prone to pop primers.
If that’s a BCM barrel it’s probably the barrel. I have had a few of them and they tend to be hard on brass, pop primers, and show pressure signs before a better quality barrel.
Doesn’t mean you’re wrong…
Just my small sample: I have broken a pawl and had the hammer plunger get stuck on two clean low mileage Ruger single actions recently. Seems like an ingenious way to safely have a 6 round gun and...
I’ve seen it over and over again.
There’s people who think the 19 slide is faster, and there’s those who use shot timers.
Never saw the point.
I actually had this conversation today.
The only two I’d be comfortable with (with factory ammo) is a Winchester 1873 in 45 Colt or 357;
or a top eject Winchester ‘94 in 30-30. If you want to...
Those powdered tungsten buffers suck.
The most reliable setup [with good ammo] bar none in that gun a stock spring and an H2 buffer.
Been on an old school kick lately.

The 92s don’t feed straight walled cartridges as good as they feed the bottlenecks they were designed for. They’re very bullet shape and OAL sensitive.
357 feeds well in a ‘73 as they lift the...
Those Mirokus are super nice. The rebounding hammer and safety on the grip tang are deal killers though..
I’ve tried pistol caliber carbines and it never worked out. They just have too many...
I’m getting out of 357 too. I have a pair of Colts and a Marlin ‘94 in 357.
Too anemic with 38s, too loud with 357s.
IMO, 357 was made obsolete when smokeless 45 Colt came about…
If you drop the hammer from 1/2 cock and spin the cylinder to lock it it will put a drag line around it. That’s where most of the turn lines come from.
I have 4 3rd gen Colts and the bolt drop is...
I own 3rd gen Colts and US made USFAs.
The USFAs are better guns but they’re 2.5oz heavier than a Colt and the cylinder and frame are just a little different and they don’t feel like a Colt.
...
357 still seems like an odd pairing in a SAA, but it handles well. Shooting 158gr @ 1220fps was not much different than a 250gr at ~750. I’m very impressed!

It’s not that they don’t run, it’s the mags letting rounds creep out a little bit and half feeding the next round that just makes a mess of reloads.
This can’t be mitigated.
Shoot what you like.
I’m in my mid-40s. I don’t work on the Southern border, in the most dangerous places down there anymore. I don’t, and won’t be able to shoot competition anymore. I’m tired...
That’s because people found out that *in actual use* 9mm sucks in a 1911.
