smith & wesson

Smith and Wesson 9mm M2.0 Compact 3.6". 15+1 capacity. 3.6" Barrel. Winchester Defender 147 Grain Bonded JHP.

I'm thinking of buying a J-frame to accompany me on fly fishing trips. I'm looking for something light with a fully enclosed hammer as an alternative to a heavier semiautomatic. The M&P 340 has a good front sight, which is a major factor, as I do not like the 442 front sight. It would be...

Little 9mm...

I have an original Shield that was a 100% reliable tank. That’s why I finally upgraded to a Plus. It’s obviously got increased capacity. But, what will surprise those who haven’t shot it is that it’s a substantially better trigger than all other M&P’s. It’s a third gen trigger, not 2.0. I just...

Hi all, I got a used .380 Bodyguard recently, to meet the functional self defense pocket pistol role. This last summer I bought an LCP I in .380 to fit this role, but I must have gotten a lemon as it was a jammomatic. Yes, I cleaned it, and put it through 300 rounds. It got worse. My main use...

So I was flipping through some stinky old American Riflemen issues out of my Grandpappy's collection - they're deteriorating too fast, no way to stop it from happening because of the acid used to make the glossy mag paper back then. I do-so from time-to-time, I go through these old mags as I...

I'm looking at some VZ Grips to add to my S&W 686. I'm wondering if anyone has had a chance to compare the VZ 320 pattern (https://vzgrips.com/products/vz-320-s-w-k-frame-grip-l-frame-grip-round-bottom.html) with the VZ Tactical Diamond pattern...

I have recently discovered that Berretta will now be importing the infamous French Manurhin MR73. It is a beautiful weapon and is said to be one of if not the best combat revolver in the world. But is it really worth the $3,300 price tag? Does it outdo, say the model 19, by such a margin that it...

So I've narrowed down my two CCW choices between these two weapons, the Smith and Wesson Model 19 Carry Comp and the FK Brno PSD. Previously I was completely set on the carry comp as it appears to be a wheelgun that is aesthetically pleasing, fairly easy to conceal, and also having the ability...

I'm a newer firearms user who's read a lot without having done a lot, and I'm looking for advice from people who have some experience (read: actually know what they're doing) on a load I'd like to work up to be useable in both a carbine and an older revolver. I should also mention I'm up in...

I have been considering SW model 29 for a while. Came across the engraved 4” model. I am wondering what you all think about it, especially comparing it with the 6” model.

I inherited a S&W .38 Special pre-Model Ten. The gun has been used, but fires nicely and is in good, but worn, condition. I'm trying to ID when, exactly it was manufactured and determine, roughly, it's value. I am certain it was fabricated between WW1 and WW2. A knowledgeable friend thinks the...

Do you think an older model S&W 640 Centennial made in 1991 can handle Standard Pressure Short Barrel Low Flash Heavy .38 Special Pistol & Handgun Ammunition without any problems being that they make all of their ammo very hot?

I recently acquired this old revolver from a relative and she has obviously seen better days. Although ugly, her action feels good and the bore miraculously has very little surface rust and no pitting that I can detect. The barrel is all scratched to **** though and zero bluing remains. The gun...

Hey everyone. I was scrolling through Buds yesterday and noticed that they had some S&W 5906s in stock. What is curious is the price point: just north of 700, when alot of police trades go for much less. The description says these are new, and may have been display guns. The description offers...

This is a very specific question, but I thought I'd send it out there to see if I could get feedback. The sear retention pin on my 5906 has been tampered with at somepoint in its life, and I didn't know if I needed to breakdown the entire trigger assembly to replace it. The pin appears to...

I want to get a rifle from Smith & Wesson. I found their bolt action guns, and now I need one. The problem is, I can't decide between a 243 Winchester, a 6.5 Creedmoor, and a 308 Winchester. I have done some research as to reloading costs, barrel life, accuracy, etc. I still can't decide on...

Let's see those carry and trail Smith and Wesson wheel guns! I carry a 638 or Model 60 on those late night "Honey we need milk" runs, a Model 36 3" in leather for a trail gun and a couple of assorted other wheelies.

I finally got this sweet little 617 no-dash off of lay away. It’s my first Smith and Wesson 22 caliber revolver and I’m impressed! Accuracy is a breeze and popping rocks at 50 yards was a blast. The best part of the deal was that it came with two sets of combats!
