Just bought myself a new 5906 today. Sure is sweet. She's replacing my old shot out 659 whose poor frame cracked. Now I can send my 659 back to S&W and see if they can repair her :)

I'm posting here for my co-worker who just got his first revolver - a S&W 340PD. The revolver is amazingly light :) But while checking it out I noticed that it appears that the cylinder is rubbing against the barrel as you close the cylinder. Once the cylinder actually closes, there does not...

I've had two guns with a gunsmith local to town here for just over 8 weeks now - a S&W model 659 that had a loose rear sight that i needed tightened up/re-sighted in... and an S&W model 642 that i wanted the trigger lightened on some - to somewhere around 6-8lb's. Could any of you guys tell me...

The fellow gave us 'the 3 rules of gun safety'. #1 Always keep your gun unloaded until you are ready to use it. #2 always keep your gun in a safe direction #3 never put your finger on the trigger or inside the trigger guard. #2 and #3 are great...but #1? I had to answer a quiz with a...

I took my S&W 659 to the local gunsmith (who I have no experience with before now) to see if he could replace the existing sights (fixed) with night sights (preferably adjustable, though i was not too optimistic about that). The existing rear sight had come loose and since I'd have to take it...

I've been working on 'the powers that be' to openly accept and allow me to carry concealed at work, and they've been coming around slowly and are almost at the point where I think they will change their official stance. The shootings @ VT and many other attacks in businesses that I have been...

My mother has a rare spinal cord condition along with complications from failed back surgery that makes it extremely difficult (read: impossible) to lift anything above 5 or so pounds, and impossible for her to hold even 3 pounds out in front of her for any period of time beyond 10 or 15 seconds...

Hello guys. I've done some extensive searching for info on the beretta 96 but haven't come across alot on these forums; mainly a LOT about the 92...which is fine for most things as they are almost identical, but one thing that the 92 isn't useful for is comparing loadouts. I've been trying...

So i went to buy ammo for the weekend range run on friday, and in the case (which is getting sparser by the day :() at the sports authority, i see a Browning Buckmark .22 autoloader with a bullish looking barrell, selling on clearance for 229$. Should i buy it? :) I've owned a S&W 22A and was...

http://www.metacafe.com/watch/298989/a_gunfighter_sends_bandits_running/ I found it interesting that one round was all it took to end the situation but the fellow still fired the whole mag after the running BG's. I guess he didn't hit any random passersby outside the store... Looks to me...

Well guys, I've been fighting with my S&W 659 for months, quite unhappy with my ability to hit anything with it. Today i took ~500 rounds out to the range with me and decided to really work on it and figure out where i was going wrong with aiming. Turns out, once i stopped closing one eye and...

Hi guys. I just purchased my first handgun at a retail outlet - Yay for the S&W model 642 :) - (had several given as gifts or purchased privately from friends previously) and I was wondering about part of the form I filled out. It asked what countries I am a citizen of, and said 'check all that...

I happen to pass a prison daily OMW to work...this morning there were about 100 police cars at the prison blocking off all entrances/exits. I saw k9 units and a lot of unmarked police cars...the rest were mainly highway patrol units. Got to work and looked at the local newspaper to read...

Hi all; i've got a question that i'm not sure where to look for the answer. I've got a hankering to go pick up a new gun as i got a bonus at work this week...thinking about a 17hmr :) I checked to see gun shows in my area and don't have any in FLA until next month...but i noticed that there's...
