Personally, I prefer the 6.5" models in .44 Special, especially with a patridge front sight. I have 2 Model of 1950s (pre-24) and a 24-3 in that configuration. I also have a 4" 24-3, and while it is a great revolver, I enjoy shooting the 6.5" model more. My preference for a 4" .44 Special is for...
TBAC says your outside diameter needs to be at least 0.1" greater than your thread pitch, which your barrel does not have. https://thunderbeastarms.com/tech/thread-specifications
For a shoulder less than 0.1", they suggest trying a face mount brake that sits against the muzzle. I'm not sure...
I have one and like it, but it is overpriced for what it is, even if you can find one at the new MSRP. The initial MSRP / street price was a little more reasonable.
It is an improvement over the MKE clones, but the extra cost isn't really worth it. It is, however, far more collectible, so only...
While I love my SIG 550, I don't think it is a sub-moa rifle, nor was it intended to be. I believe the STG-90 was expected to produce 2 moa. Maybe the SIG 550 Sniper.
ATF, in attempting to correct what they see as a past mistake, is unethically shifting a substanial burden onto the public. If ATF was going to insist on regulating braces to this degree, then they should not have stopped evaluating them in the first place. If ATF is concerned about the legality...
I am a surveyor who worked for several years in remote parts of Alaska. While I always carried a rifle or handgun on me, I will say that I'm not sure how helpful it would have been in a lot of cases.
Bears are fast. A lot of times you are carrying a lot of equipment, and probably wearing a...
Cam Edwards criticized the CNN article as misleading here: https://bearingarms.com/camedwards/2021/05/04/medias-gun-ignorance-on-display-cnn-story-n44659
I would and did choose the MR73. Mine is a 5-1/4" Chapuis variant. I did have a Mulhouse 4" police model, but sold it in favor of the new one. I also have a 1969 Python given to me by my father to compare it too. I do not have a Registered Magnum or the subsequent Non-Registered Magnum, due to...
If you are referring to Warther Resin-Ivory+S, I have a little bit of experience with it. I am currently having two Randall knives made with it as the handle material, and I bought a set of their 1911 grips. While I like the look of the grips a lot, I think the medallion is a little bit too...
Great article.
A Randall Made Knives dealer recently recommended David Warther imitation ivory for a Randall that I was ordering. He told me that it is the most realistic stuff he is aware of, and that Randall used to stamp the knives "A/I" so that it wouldn't get confused for the real thing. I...
I have a 4" 24-3 and paid $900 or so for it a few years back off of gunbroker. Personally I prefer the 6.5" 24-3 with the patridge front sight, but the 4" models are more collectible. My 24-3s are the only "newer" Smith & Wessons that I own. I wanted them because Skeeter Skelton convinced S&W to...
This is a good article on them: http://www.smallarmsreview.com/display.article.cfm?idarticles=3918
And a newer review: https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/m10x-world-rifle/
I don't have any experience with the M10X, but the gas system and bolt are very similar to a SIG 550. As a fan of the SIG...
S&W 4th Model Hand Ejector of 1950 in .44 Special.
While I love the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd Model Hand Ejectors in .44 Special, the most fun to shoot is the 4th Model with its patridge front sight.
I used to miss the point about .44 Special too. I figured a .44 Mag was always a better choice since you can shoot both cartridges.
Then I picked up a S&W 4th Model Hand Ejector of 1950 (pre-24) on a whim. The first time I took it to the range, my mind was changed. To me it is the perfect DA...
He notes that the .44 Mag version has a different and harder heat treatment than the other calibers. He said he was reluctant to fire factory .44 Mag cartridges in it and definitely ruled out heavy .44 Mag loads. He did eventually shoot the factory .44 Mag cartridges in it, but concluded that he...
