Karl Sokol That's right, I've asked you that before. Sight regulation shift any after that? Jgsales I don't know.it came that  Got a cheap cut down barrel and sent em off. The barrel is from a m14 iirc which causes the front sight to sit high. So I had to find the lowest possible front. Unfortunately it was a fiber optic. It shoots dead on now. A friend had a similar gun built but with a m10 barrel and he was able to get a normal tritium front sight. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I just hate the way the newer Smiths look. Hammers suck. Front sights suck. Give me a P&R Magnum any day over what they are today. FYI, the only new Smith I own is a 442 Pro. No lock, no exposed (sucky looking) hammer. I will NOT buy a modern Smith strictly on looks alone. My opinion, my choice, haters be damned.

I love that I can easily drop in a tritium front sight on my m66. Hammers are a moot point because I like to cut half the spur off. Modern Smith's make better fighting guns. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Was looking for another M&P and in the true spirit of Arfcom asked that they "Supersize" me. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/413/C8C75DC0-3127-42B9-A132-B0530CE8FC4C-2518609.jpg I must be the only human that is not impressed with Model 58s. I had one for about a month, and was happy to get rid of it. It did nothing better than any of the other N frames I had at the time, and was not fun to shoot, even compared to my 29-4 with Keith loads. |

I know a guy who took a brand-new model 28 with a 6-inch barrel and changed it out with a 4-inch barrel. He used a pair of channel locks and did not take out the pin. He did not stop with one turn. This was about 1984. Worth it to get rid of that long barrel.  I kinda like my 6 in 28. I wish my 29 8-3/8 was 6 I'm kidding mostly. However, every time I pack my 5" 629, I wish I had gone shorter. I have a 5" 625. It's a fantastic length for shooting. A little on the long side for carrying. |

Needed new grips for my 3" model 10. I was debating VZ vs wood and got a deal on some Altamonts. They came in today and I was underwhelmed. Should've learned my lesson with the set I bought for my 629 last year, lol. Oh well, they are better than the worn out Pachmayrs it came with.
