Quote HistoryQuoted: Bought a TC contender last week. Going on day 7 of not shipping it.  It's like I'll never get these two Civets I ordered. 1st my email w/ my FIL's FFL went to their spam folder, then UPS repeatedly tried to deliver em outside his business hours (he's a former B-36 mechanic), now the roads are iced over & neither he nor I can get to his shop for me to pick em up. I feel your pain. But it does give you more time to browse WalletRaper.com.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Does anyone else have 20 different Gunbroker tabs open? I've decided that in order to research what I like, I'll take two weeks worth of "ended" auctions and average the prices. this has been fairly accurate to predict what a revolver will go for. but it hasn't worked for Smith model 15's or K-38's. I've seen them as low as $280 and as high as $700 for comparable condition. I must be missing something. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Got mine all cleaned up this weekend and shot a few reloads very very happy. Ordered some of the Thailand grips off eBay and a decent owb leather holster off Amazon.

The thing is, I was looking for a 686 when I found the 2.5" 66 and when I found the 10-6. I would have been money ahead to just hit buy now. |

The amount of guns listed on WalletRaper.com in the wrong categories, wrong caliber, no caliber, wrong model name, etc is staggering. It's really annoying that GunBroker allows 5 different ways to define 9x19mm. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Man I like those more than the OG King cobras. I agree. It's that nice midsize. The 3" barrel just looks and feels right. I've handled the 2" version and it was just off to me. Similarly, I've handled the Kimber K6S 2" and 3" version and the 2" feels right in that gun while the 3" just doesn't seem right to me. |

@03RN
Well, I might be concerned about nothing, but I was one told that to test the hand you cock the gun very slowly or lie a finger on the side of the cylinder while cocking the hammer, then see if the cylinder moves rotationally, or touch the cylinder and see if you hear a click. If I cock the hammer slowly, I can touch the cylinder and hear the click of the cylinder stop popping into place. It doesn't happen if you cock the hammer quickly or if you pull the trigger but release it before the hammer falls, so I'm sure it'd be fine while actually shooting, but to me it seems like the hand is showing early signs of excessive wear? Think I'm on the right track? |

Think I'm on the right track? Kinda hard for me to diagnose. Is it every chamber? If not you could peen the ratchet where needed. Also could be a gummed up cylinder stop or worn cylinder stop spring |
