Hey there, Mr Jackrabbit1957; I've been wanting to have some work done to my Cimarron 1858 conversion and also in search of a 1862 Pocket Police model that will likely need tuning, ha! Do you have a website or do folks just reach out to you via PM?

Love to see some pics of those sights!

I paid under 800 bucks for the 66 snub.... The last 2 guns I bought previous to that cost more than that, but were modern, current production guns (1911 pistols) I get your point, and hear it a lot on gun forums, but determine my carry guns based on many factors....none of which involve...

Ah, I wouldn't overthink it regarding "confiscation" of gun. I've had two acquaintances involved in self defense shootings, and NEITHER one had their firearm taken as evidence. Plus, I'll carry what I shoot well and am proficient with....and take care of saving my own life first, worry about...

Wow! Thanks to all who are sharing their pics and opinions on stainless (or blued) "fighting" revolvers! Nothing wrong with plastic autoloaders, but......

I actually find that a K frame snub conceals better for me.... due to the "curves" and the natural shape of a revolver grip frame vs a semiauto slide. A bit heavier and less capacity than most semi autos, but.... .357 mag (short barrel loadings) is a solid caliber for stopping a threat...

Yes, Deaf Smith: When I want inspiration on the aggressive (yet graceful) looks of a stainless snub, I do a Google search for one of your threads or pics! May I live long enough (or improve my financial situation) to acquire as many excellent snubs as you!

Hey All, found this unfired S&W 66-4 snub for a great price.... After some range work, it will become my defensive carry gun. I've owned (and sold) three 66 snubs in the past, and then I always convince myself that semi auto is the way to go for defensive firearm. Then, I pick up a...

Got out for a quick range session today.....had to cut it short, due to time constraints, but..... I fired 70 rounds or so.......been awhile since I fired a j-frame. I shot some 38 158gr FMJ and some 38+P 125gr JHP ammo. Everything worked as expected, but I noticed that I was pulling...

340 arrived today. Great fit and finish, and nice trigger pull (dry firing with snap caps). I'll get it out to the range tomorrow evening, and have decided to stick with .38+P Speer Gold Dot 135gr short barrel loads. In the past, I've not loved the 357 blast and recoil from this light...

Looking good, Tiger! My new 340 is on the way to my FFL! I've owned two of them previously, but sold them both off....:banghead: This new one will be a backup to my Colt CCO 1911. I'll post here when I have pics and some range trips under my belt (I favor short-barreled loads in both...

The "original" cylinder is the only cylinder in discussion, as this is a factory conversion, not a black powder revolver. The factory conversions are slightly larger than the black powder and a black powder cylinder will not fit in them. The revolver is on the way back to Cimarron's gunsmith as...

Update: The cylinder pin is definitely seated all the way. The cylinder definitely "dips" down while action is being cocked. I cannot remove cylinder pin, due to 5.5" barrel being too short, and thus ram lever latch is "in the way". I have contacted Cimarron to see about a call tag...

Thanks fellas! I'll be home within a day, and will check into things again.... Probably shouldn't have posted until I was at home, so I could have checked out all of your solutions and advice! Happy Memorial Day! Big salute to our fallen soldiers/sailors/airmen/marines!
