Pretty sad. |

Quoted: Airlite & .45 ACP sounds like a painful combination. Probably but I’ve got the same thing in 44 mag, 329PD. I’ve fired 3 rounds of standard 44 mag out of it. That was enough. It’ll be 44 specials in that one from now on. |

Thats a beauty! I previously thought (for years) the 8 3/8” Smiths would be very odd to handle. When I got a M53 22 Jet last summer with an 8 3/8” barrel I was pleasantly surprised at how well it handled. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Airlite & .45 ACP sounds like a painful combination. It can be, I have the same gun in 2 3/4". You can't even remotely limp wrist is as that can cause the other rounds to unseat and stick out far enough to stop the cylinder from turning. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Noted! Then what? Can I screw a barrel on myself? Quote HistoryQuoted: Noted! Then what? Can I screw a barrel on myself? Quoted: lol this is my question too. As much as I'd love to have custom gun built im pretty sure it's gonna cost me more than a new k comp or model 66. I may be off though because my only knowledge of custom guns in in the bolt action rifle world lol Get the Kunhausen manual for S&W revolvers. It explains how to do everything.  Attached FileI got this project waiting for me to sit down and give it the attention it deserves. The 2" barrel, cylinder and all the small parts are going into this once I get the nickel stripped off the frame side plate and crane. One of these days I will try to make these two sad stories a happy one. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Picked up a used Smith 325PD. Once I got it cleaned up it appeared that Smith forgot to put a forcing cone in the barrel. Just a burred up straight edge.

What's the general consensus on those Ruger Wranglers? I was kicking around the idea of getting one for my daughter to match her little Crickett rifle. Solid guns? Hold out for a single six and pay 2.5x as much?

Quote HistoryQuoted: I remember the brand, but there is a newer version of a peacemaker holds 9 rounds and has the swing out cylinder. If I was going to get one that would be it. More rounds easier loading/unloading. H&R, and they made a break top .22 LR as well. Both no longer made. |
