Just got to thinking (never a good thing!!!). Would the slide/barrel/etc. of a 4006 fit and function on the frame of a 2nd gen 659? As far as I can tell besides the change in the grips/backstrap, the frame is like the later 5906, which is like the 4006 frame, all being a solid chuck of stainless...

possible? Not that I'm unhappy with my 659, just curious if 2nd gen frames are compatible w/ 3rd gen slides/barrels. I heard S&W made a transitional run of 659 pistols that had 5906 slides. Thanks.

With three 14rd mags, pachmayr grips, fixed sights for $325. Picking it up tomorrow. Opinions? Gunbroker shows a few going for 375-400.

I had some CCI 550 primers left over from a previous purchase, used them to load up some 158gr SWC in .357mag with 14.4gr 2400. Looked like it was just starting to flatten the primers. Loaded up some of the same loads, but instead using CCI 500 primers. No signs of flattening primers at...

For my 4" .357 revolver. I have shot all of the above so recoil is not an issue. Thanks! EDITED to add: I'll be carrying the same while both at home, out in the truck, and out in the woods (not worried about large bear where I go)

I'm going to start reloading .45acp and will be getting Lee dies since I've been satisfied with them for .38spl I've been loading. Anyhow, I have the standard 3-die set for .38 and it works great. For .45acp, should I get the 3-die set, or should I get the 4-die set that includes the...

I searched and didn't find much at all about this. I know some people load wadcutters in .357mag brass, but download to .38 levels for target shooting. Well, since I have about 200 pieces of .357 brass and lots of hardcast 148gr DEWC from when I reload .38spl, I loaded up 50 rounds of standard...

I searched and didn't find this topic discussed before, just expansion/performance through denim/bare gel, etc. How likely is this particular bullet to penetrate auto glass? Sheet metal? etc.? How likely would a Speer Gold Dot (125gr "Low Velocity" version) penetrate the same barriers? I...

Hello everyone. I'm looking at a used 5904 with a round trigger guard. If I'm reading some posts correctly, it looks like S&W discontinued the full-size 3rd gen pistols around 2007. Is that correct? And if so, can I still expect them to service the gun if needed in a few years? Second...

(ME Non-Res) My DoB and height are both incorrect. GRRR Now I have to call the number and get a new permit sent...which means I can't send my NH app. until I get the corrected permit to photocopy! :cuss: Hopefully I won't have to wait longer than the time it takes for them to make a new...

replacement. Can anyone tell me what is involved in replacing the extractor spring? I've been getting the occasional FTE where the previous spent case is stuck in the chamber and the new round gets pushed into the back of it. I am able to move the extractor by pushing on the back end of it...

Hi. I have a gun I recently bought, and though I haven't shot it yet I just had a question. In my state, people 18-21 can own handguns (whether they get them from family or private sales, doesn't matter). I know that FFL holders can not transfer a handgun to anyone under 21. But my question is...

I was thinking of checking out a Rossi 462 (stainless, 2") and Taurus 65 (stainless, 4"). Since I'm getting two carry permits in the next two months, I'm looking at getting a .357 snub. I really was liking the Ruger SP101 (my mother has one and its a great gun) but after shooting it a few...

Hello. I've been wondering something for awhile now. For people between the ages of 18 and 20, who can legally own, and purchase handguns from private sellers, if someone needed to send their handgun in for repair, how does that work? If it is sent through an FFL, they would have to do a NICS...

Well, since Justin the mod said we could start a new thread and STAY ON TOPIC, here it goes: Quoted from the last thread: I'd like to add Virginia. That's right, the great commonwealth known for its open carry and shall issue CCW. In Virginia, you can't carry a gun with a mag over 20...

Just got one of these for a decent price, however after closer inspection (after I'm already home, of course...) I notice that the hammer will still fall when the trigger is pulled when the safety is on. After doing a quick search on google it looks as though the part of the thumb safety that...

I'm thinking that if I don't find another .45 to buy before or at the next gun show, I'm going to get a 16.5" Saiga in 7.62x39. I'm considering this rifle due to the longer "sporter" stock it has over the "real" AKs like one my father has, because I find it uncomfortable to shoot due to the...

Did a search and didn't find anything...I figured I'd start a thread that discusses everyone's feelings on that "Knotted Gun" sculpture that's outside of the UN building in NYC. I myself would love to see one of two things. 1. It be removed and destroyed 2. "Modified" with a saw, to...

I'm sure most of us have heard of this in IL, where you carry an unloaded gun in a case, bag, fanny pack, or purse, with a loaded magazine OUT of the gun. The idea is that if you feel the need to defend yourself you open the bag load the gun in 6 seconds if you're good. After this last...
