Out of commission for now as the shaft of the safety floats and can prevent it from firing if it turns to the right position I've sent a email out to smith for a replacement part Ooof. 1st I've heard of that, but not encouraging. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Mine too Is that a new python? Yeah, I couldn't help myself. It's a new 4" Python. An early gift to myself. I was going to wait but then it seemed like they were drying up a bit on GunBroker. So I pulled the trigger, pun intended. I tried a 6" at the LGS that had an amazing trigger. This was surprisingly heavier albeit smooth. I put Hogue grips on it when I got it but hated them. I usually like rubber grips but this didn't fit the gun well, didn't fit me well, and left the back strap exposed surprisingly. Recoil with these grips was the same as with my Kimber or KC despite how much heavier the Python is. I'll try the wood ones. They don't feel so bad. I also ordered some Pachmayrs. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is that OD green, because I love it. Very nice. Quote HistoryQuoted: Is that OD green, because I love it. Very nice. Yes it is. I definitely like the "Charging" grips better than the small rubber grip that comes on the regular 30DS.  One of the few guns I've ever sold and regretted. I had the black one and sold it. Tried all sorts, security six, model 19 k-comp, s&w 627 2.625", model 60 pro, Kimber 3", s&w 327 mountain lite, to name a few. The Rhino was more accurate than all of them, and the recoil of shooting full house 357 mags is like shooting 38 special wadcutters. It also carries well since it has an aluminum frame. The only downside is you have to be mindful of your grip. If you shoot with a thumbs-forward grip, you'll put your thumb tip right at the forcing cone area. You have to tuck your thumbs. I know they aren't for everyone, but I really like them. |

If I rescue a beat up revolver with bad exterior finish, is it possible and feasible to have it sandblasted and then nitrided? Is that the best way to clean up an abused specimen? I'm thinking nitride because it does not add any material to the existing surfaces, which are already mated.
