    Hitch in S&W trigger?

By "hitch," I am referring to sort of a catch/click that's also loud and auditable (like a striker-fired reset) right before the hammer drops while shooting in DA. It's not one smooth pull, but rather, I could easily pull to the hitch...

    Why 32 h&r?

    What's so special about 32hr? I've just watched a few YouTube ballistics and barrier penetration test, and I looked up Lucky Gunner's ammo testing. I wasn't impressed at all and I don't understand why anyone would choose a 32hr over a 38 special especially being that ammo availability and...

    45 ACP Short Barrel

    I am not a 45acp fan at all, but I am a fan of the 3.3 Shield 45 because it fits my hand well and points naturally. My problem is trying to find a decent 45acp offering that performs reliablely and better than 9mm and 40s&w with ballistic testing out a short barrel. Any suggestions?

    Why do/did you choose a revolver as your EDC over a semiauto?

    I'm curious to hear why some members choose to EDC a revolver over a semiautos when a semiautos has more capacity, faster reloads, and a shorter/lighter trigger? [Not a semiautos vs relovers thread. Just a thread for those who chose to carry a revolver over a semiauto to give their reasoning...

    Revolver Fundamentals

    I'm sure this video has been posted here sometime before in the past. My question is, how many of you still practice the fundamentals in the video when shooting within 10 yard?

    Charter Arms

    What's the consensus on Charter Arms revolvers? Good or bad? Also, I heard that the trigger guards are polymer. Is that on all models or just the lightweight 12oz +/- models?

    Fun little incident just happened to me

    Engraving

    Are all form 1 SBR that didn't come from the manufacturer with a brace and aren't 80% receivers (aka already have a manufacturer's serial number and engravings) need to have my name/trust and location engraved on the receiver? There's a lot of conflicting information online.

    Anyone EDC mainly on o regular basis an uncommon obscure autoloader handgun that's no longer popular or in style (if it ever was in the first place).
