Well, from reading 9 pages here and a like number over on the S&W Forum is seems some people like the new Kimber and some people don't. Imagine that!

I thought there used to be a thread about this new revolver but I couldn't find it with my limited computer skills. Might be because I can't remember the model name. Something like K-XS or K-SX. In...
No deformation that I can see. Running my finger around the rear edge of the cylinder doesn't detect anything. And the little "ears" that are causing this don't seem worn or bent. Fooling with the...
jh9,
That's a good question. My Schofield is locked up in the safe, which is in the shop. I'll try to get out there today and take a look, then get back to you.

jh9,
My S&W 2000 Schofield shows that exact wear (scaring) on the rear of the cylinder. All it has ever fired since it came into my possession were black powder (or substitutes like the old Black...
I have a 642 and am underwhelmed. I've never been able to shoot J-frames well (hand size and shape doesn't match up) and yes I've tried a wide variety of grips and stocks. I'd lay them out and take a...
Why thank you Sir. Most generous of you.
Still haven't heard anything on the 315 NG. It's the same size as the 2-1/2" M-19 but considerably lighter and it is a 38 Special.
Dave
Will my S&W 315 Night Guard (2.5" barrel) qualify as a "snubby"?
Or since this thread is about 3" snubbys I might also shoot this 3" with black powder 45 Colt ammunition.

Of course it...
You are correct and I wasn't. I have no interest or experience with Ruger's LCRs and didn't know they offered a 3". Not sure what penance I should perform.
Dave
Neither Ruger nor S&W make a "Lightweight 3" 38 Special" . Taurus does, so there you have it.
Dave
I have one of the S&W 2000 Schofields. I haven't shot CAS in 20 years but got this as a "re-living history" adventure. I wanted to know what shooting the 45 Smith & Wesson Schofield, loaded with...
All this is not encouraging. Based on my experience of some 30 years with Glocks I've been considering a G48 purchase for a lighter, flatter carry gun. Glocks have always worked, right out of the...
O3,
In my experience (more than many but not as good as some) cannelures serve two purposes for revolver bullets.
First, if you're shooting flex your muscles and beat your chest hand loads they...
I'll dream along with you Chuck. Particularly for that WFN.
Dave
I'm old enough to remember when the 92 was adopted by the US military. Everyone but the government objected to the Walther style safety, the too big grip making trigger reach a problem for most, and...
OK, here goes.
Don't buy a PDP Pro!
How's that? (smiley face goes here)
Dave
PS: Don't do what you hear on the internet. Make your own decisions.
Without hesitation or reservation the 1911 Government Model. I have more miles with them in 45 caliber than any other. Have owned 2 chambered for the 10mm but they were more range toys as I kept on...
For the weight is should at least be a six shot.
Dave
My previous experience with concealed carry was all with Bruce Nelson or Milt Sparks holsters (yea, I'm that old). And it was mostly 1911 variants. Now because of getting old and having arthritis in...
I would probably hurt my arthritic shoulder getting out the credit card for that deal. (smile)
Dave
I'm still trying to under stand all the hype about a 380 that is the size of several compact 9mms. Did I not get a memo or something?
Dave
This will probably be my last contribution to this thread, but I do have some updates.
First I got a chance to handle a 9mm Dan Wesson Valor. My goodness was the slide easy to manipulate. Locked...
ANR does indeed list a IWB Kydex holster for the DWX Compact. I may order one but I want to check out the Red Hill Tactical mentioned by 1911Nut.
Dave
PS: The post about cocked and unlocked...
Ichiban,
Have you found a holster for your DWX Compact? I be interested in a Kydex IWB style if there's anything available this soon.
Dave
After three pages of advice and opinions (all of which I appreciated) I thought I should report the end result...for now.
Like every place in the country there are plus and minus features to my...
