19 years for me in a few months. I lurked for about a year before I signed up, so about 2 decades on THR. Hard to believe how long it's been, and how young I used to be when I joined. I've learned so much over the years and have had countless hours of joy and entertainment from this place. I...

Actually was reading some old threads on THR this morning and came across a couple of posts about deer being killed by shooting the antlers off. Pretty interesting stuff. https://www.thehighroad.org/index.php?threads/okey-whats-your-favorite-spot-to-aim-in-deer.408948/ @Loomis @Dr. Tad...

Man, I love my SP101 but that's giving me a wandering eye.... Great looking gun.

The SP101 has huge aftermarket support, just about all the major grip companies have an offering for it. For a larger grip, probably the first thing I'd try out is Hogue grips. They are readily available and affordable. I'd say I use more of their grips than any other one maker...

When I was law enforcement I carried my BUG (one of them anyway), accessible to my weak side hand. The purpose being to get it into action if I was in a struggle over my primary weapon and using my dominant hand to keep it in the holster. Nowadays I don't carry a backup. You can drive...

I'll throw my opinions and experience into the mix. When it comes to pocket carry I prefer a revolver for many of the reasons already mentioned. Most often when carrying in that manner I use a centennial Airweight S&W 442. I own and have carried both types, including a LCP and TCP, and I my...

I'd carry it if I owned it. Wouldn't pay extra for it, and if given the choice I'd rather have one without the engraving.

I love those 1990's style model 60s with the full underlug. Wouldn't mind coming across one of those.

Thanks everyone. I agree if it was a .357 version I would most likely be shooting .38s out of it anyway as they are much more enjoyable in a revolver this size. Currently I just use standard pressure Hornady Critical Defense as a carry load. I had noticed the cylinder length difference with...

Came across this .38 Special caliber S&W model 60 awhile back in the used counter of a local gun shop. One of the employees knows me pretty well, and we share an appreciation for classic handguns. He saw me from across the shop looking into the case and said "Ah, I see you found that little...

In my experience you're much more likely to find a revolver used in the backup role of present day law enforcement. The huge advancements of semi-auto micro-compacts has about taken care of that though. It was always my preference to have at least one revolver as a backup when on duty however...

I have an 8# Wolff mainspring in my 442 and to me it's a significant improvement. Originally I tried the 15# rebound spring, but it made the reset feel too sluggish for my taste so I put the factory spring back in there. I also did some very, very light polishing of the rebound slide and some...

Remington has issued a response to the video referenced in the first post: The short of it is, the firearms shown were from old stock made prior to RemArms taking over. According to the response, RemArms made guns will be shipping in the coming months.

Especially since you already have some S&Ws and Rugers I think there is quite a bit of utility in having a revolver that you can bang around with on the farm etc. I have run across a few examples of the Charter Arms revolvers at work and it always made me think about picking one up...

Really like the look of those grips on the 442. Do they extend any lower than the butt? Looks slightly longer.

There is not. Thanks again for your help.

Just picked up a beauty today. I would really appreciate someone looking up the date for me. .38 special 1 7/8" barrel Round butt Fixed sights 5 shot Model 60 marked "Mod. 60" under crane S/N AEE9XXX

I've owned a TCP and was very pleased with it. Mine was the least expensive version that came with 1 magazine and blued slide. I purchased it years ago primarily because I liked that it had last round slide lock when other similar .380s did not. I found it surprisingly shootable and accurate in...
