My S&W Model 64-3 has been a great gun these last few years that I've owned it. In that time I've fired close to 5,000 rounds through it without a hitch. Lately, though, it's been giving me,...
Wow! This would make a great parts gun for my Walker replica.
[ALTERNATE DAL357]: Sacrilege! Stop trying to be funny, and you don't even have a Walker replica, believe me, I know.
Why don't...
After thousands of rounds through both autos (Glock 19, Walther PPQ) and various models of revolvers, I find that I just plain shoot revolvers better. I don't know if it's the difference in recoil...
Looks like it was a good thing ol' S. B. Noe wasn't a few inches taller or that round would have given him an extra, unwelcome, orifice.
Didn't the guy on the far left go on to play the skipper...
Yup, every time I walk through a Wal-mart it's a soul-rending experience to see the second- and third-generation slobs Americans have become; these poor people clueless as to their appearance. I...
Do it! I almost exclusively shoot my 64-3 police trade-in for IDPA, and I have tons of fun doing so. One thing's for sure: you'll get real good at reloading, not to mention the attention you'll get...
After reading the first three and last two pages of this thread, I've come to this conclusion:
Carry WTF you want and screw justifying it to anyone, just be competent with it.
I choose to...
Now THAT is some sage advice. Thank you, DB.
I never got that either. My brother has a 4" SP101 and, although it's svelte and balances well, I wish he would have gotten the GP100...mainly so I could have access to one without having to fork...
Earlier this month I finally spied one of these beasts at my local, independent gun store. I liked how svelte and balanced it was, but the $850 price tag was too rich for my blood. Once in the...
I heard he was about to retire from teaching, or maybe he already has?
From the videos I've seen of him on the 'Net, he has a way of getting his points across in a teaching style that appeals to...
I like that idea! I hate that idea! Know why? If I follow it, I'll end up buying another gun, likely a single-stack 9, maybe a Walther PPS M2. Naw, not gonna do it! (I can already feel my...
Since this cautionary tale involves a S&W Model 19-7, I figured it should go here, although the idiocy involved could apply to bottom feeders as well.
After saving enough money to send of my 19...
ZINGGG! Best comeback ever!!!
Great backstories. If you haven't already, please be sure to commit these stories to paper for future generations of your family.
That first revolver they showed in the video had some filthy chambers, not that that's a deal breaker, but you'd think they would clean it up a bit. My 64 is no paragon of cleanliness, but I ain't...
$350.
To be honest, guys, the 3" 64-3 is a police turn in with "CYA" (California Youth Authority, I think) stamped on it, so it's seen some use, but it is still in pretty good shape. I had some occasional...
I plan on shooting very few magnums through it, maybe a cylinder or two of 158s at most. Everything else will be .38s, almost exclusively my softball reloads with cast bullets of WW that drop out of...
At a small gun store yesterday I visit irregularly, I came across a bunch of old S&W revolvers, including 10s, a 12 and 14, 15s, etc. They had a 2.5" model 19-7 for $550 also, which I plan to make...
You got that right! Nut could, and should, avail himself of an objective editor. The first thing I look at on YouTube video is the length; almost anything longer than 6-8 minutes is self-indulgent...
No problem at all, and thanks again. I'm looking forward to seeing one, someday, in the flesh; maybe by then it will have dropped to $750-800. All of the conjecture here about the gun was...
Thank you for the hands-on, albeit short, review.
My suggestion was aimed towards assuaging the apparent fears IDPA has with allowing appendix carry for competition. I know I'm preaching to the choir here about this subject. If an AOWB gets their...
Yeah, I know this is going to sound goofy as heck, but what about AOWB (appendix outside the waistband) carry for IDPA competition? It's not exactly the same, of course, as AIWB, but it is...
