I suppose that would work quite well if you have a large enough group and the stopwatches. Thanks for the info.

I'm always looking for ways to improve myself and my performance. How do you measure reload times in a consistent and accurate manner that takes out the element of human error?
Larry,
I've been carring a revolver in one form or another for around 12 years now. I have never had the rounds come loose from a dropped Safariland, wether dropped or in my pocket. I've seen...
Safariland loaders require the loader and rounds be aligned with the cylinders. The HKS due to the amount of slop does not. While it ht be easier to fudge the HKS I have never felt like it was...
I turned down an offer of $1200 in cash and a few trade items for my 3" CS-1
Not to be argumentative, bt I thought the peak loading for the .7.62 Nagant was closer to a .32/20. I'll see if I can't find the information to back up that claim.
There was a guy on a local...

Has anyone actually handled one or is it just a sense of aesthetics that is offended?

I used 550 cord to make a wrap for my Model 94 .357. I am very happy with the results although it does not look as nice.
There's a reason you don't see many Rugers in competitions like IDPA, USPSA, IPSC, and ICORE. The lengthy double action trigger, the false reset, and the catch described above make the guns...
If you can get used 686's for less than $200 I'd like to know where so I can stock up on them. :)
S&W did a recall on those guns. As long as there is the letter 'M' stamped at the yoke or on the butt the gun has been through the recall and should be good to go.
Speaking of durability, when I first started to reload I double charged a .38 case as I was working up an IDPA load to shoot. Eleven grains of W231 to be precise. After I opened my eyes and...
Take a look in the show off sticky at my 686 after 20,000 rounds of shooting plus about the same amount of dryfire. Timing is still good and a little blue loctite handles the loose screw issue. Most...
Or he could be confusing the new M&P auto with the original M&P revolvers...
This is my S&W 686 CS 1. I've got somewhere in the neighborhood of 20,000 rounds through her so far.

Thanks Frosty Boolit. I'll look for some heavier boolits and try again. :)
Any possibilty that she is pushing the gun when she breaks the trigger? Try a few ball and dummy drills to isolate that particular issue.
That's beautiful. I can't wait to see your range report.

I always thought the Ishvesk models were better made. :) I have a M39 that is very accurate using surplus ammo, roughly 2MOA. My polish M44 shots at about 3MOA with surplus but will shoot in a...
Fast forward to a month later. I started toe experiment process by loading 10 rounds each starting at 4.2 grains of W231 up to 5.0 grains of W231. The plan was to run 5 through my M28 4" and 5...
Out of curiosity, how do the cylinder walls on a S&W 696 measure?
