Garand Thumb asks Paul about his firearms training, and he replies “Went into the Marine Corps, went to Gunsite, was a marksmanship instructor in the Marine Security Forces, and read a few articles...
Nonsensical is a word that has become an anachronism. I had to scroll down the article to see the police chief’s attempt to distance himself from the suggestion, but I wouldn't be surprised if other...
It’s priced like a J frame, so I’m going to lose my shirt at this point. Additionally, it’s a great carry revolver.
RV-003N-4V It’s labeled for SP101 and J frame pistols, but it’s the height of the Speed Six front ramp sight. It hits spot on, and glows crazy bright.

Garand Thumb interviewed Paul Harrell, and it was much better than Tom Grieve’s video above.

I generally don’t carry a J frame without another pistol. There is the story of police Sgt. Timothy Gramins....
I drove Yvonne back to the range so she could shoot her weekly 100 rounds of 9mm, and we each shot 3 rounds of Golden Saber +P through my new gem. My shots were dead on, but she missed by a mile. The...
I’ll get over the pristine condition in a few days (hours) and then shoot the snot out of both. There was a shot to hell nickel M19-4 on GB this week, and it sold for $1,105. The cylinder looked like...
Maybe too perfect. I’m afraid to shoot it! B/C gap is a tight .005”, zero endshake, un-cracked forcing cone, and perfect timing. I’ve been sweating this one all week, but it’s beautiful.

The Canadian geniuses are now promoting a 5 year to life sentence for social media post supporting genocide! I’m sure they mean supporting Israel.

After some serious concerns about the hammer stud, I just paid for the M19. It’s supposed to be here Friday….
Mark Novak fixes a broken trigger stud:

They don’t accept returns. A factory replaced stud isn’t concerning, but a loose stud isn’t good. Seller states THIS IS A NICE LNIB SMITH & WESSON MODEL 19-4. I guess I’ll give him a call in the...
I had my 4” M19-3 out of the safe this morning, but forgot to look. Thanks!

I have a super cool microscope:

Here’s the trigger boss:

The Speed Six in question has a 156 serial number prefix, making it a 1981 revolver. According to Lex Luthier’s computation, I’m selling this one for $100 less than fair price…lol!

I’ve let my .357 magnum range supply run dry. There are still some .357 Golden Sabers in my safe, and I’ll fire a cylinder or two through the M19, but I carry Golden Saber +P loads.
I came across an article by The Revolver Guy last night, and he discussed why M19’s were susceptible to forcing cone cracks:
“The switch to a yoke-mounted gas ring required a much more aggressive...
The pinned and recessed M66 revolvers are even more expensive. Lots more expensive! I thought they’d be a cheaper alternative, but was amazed at the higher prices.
LOL! Ohhhh Yeah… That’s up for grabs, along with a 4” M19-3. I’ve been nibbling around the edges for long enough, and finally got what I wanted.
Does this hammer boss look odd?

I was bidding on a VERY nice M19-3 this afternoon, but the reserve wasn’t met.
This M19 is over in 25 minutes, and $200 less than my bid earlier today. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1038707377
