That is exactly why I bought my 29 in 1970 for $150 (about $1200 in today's money) with 6 shots fired thru it. A guy bought it new and told me he hated the recoil and put the gun up for sale. A very low fun factor for him. I happened on the ad the day it came out and bought it along with the...
I hope not because 44 Spl ammo will then become even more scarce and more expensive. I just bought a S&W model 24 in .44 Special (non-interlock) because I don't like shooting the Specials in my model 29 due to leading in the cylinder. Moreover, I needed a beautiful Model 24!
Rod, Agee with everything you said. My 25-15 was perfect, but I have heard more than one story of poor QC on some models. It reminds me of way back in about 1978 when the stainless steel model 629's first came out, the QC was outrageously bad. If Smith doesn't tighten up their QC across the...
Just bought my first Hillary Hole (HH, interlock) Smith, something I absolutely swore I would never do! My new 25-15 in 45 LC is a beautiful gun with an outstanding trigger pull. I took the side plate off to remove the interlock and replace it with a TK Custom plug and noted the perfect fit...
Bought my first 6" 29 in 1971 for $150 bucks from a guy that fired 6 rounds thru it and didn't like the recoil. Still own it and will pass down to grandkids. Love that beautiful revolver!
The Mulford Act was passed because the Black Panthers were carrying firearms and "patrolling" areas in Oakland, CA looking for cops to shoot. It was passed in an effort to try to keep cops from getting shot by Black Panthers. Now they go by Black Lives Matter and Antifa. The Mulford Act was...
The best advice! You may have a rotator cuff issue that you know nothing about. See a sports physician. Light loads, better recoil pad, those are just attempts at reducing pain. Find the root of the problem and you won't have to guess or fiddle around with "fixes" that don't address the problem.
Just to set the record straight, NONE of the CHP officers at Newhall dumped their cases into their shirt pockets as has been purported for years, nor did they pick up their brass. Some grossly misinformed person crafted that story shortly after the incident and it took on a life of its own and...
This is a quote from an unidentified officer who was at the Battle of Rosebud Creek just 8 days before Little Bighorn. "The firing was now terrific, the repeating rifles used by the Indians enabling them to make it one continuous volley. Officers who were through the [Civil] war and were there...
