$300-600 for import clones stuff which may be decent or may be trash. Around $1,100 for a entry level gun from a first teir manufacturer such as the Berretta A300 and up to $2,000 for something top shelf like a Bennelli M4. $850 is something of a no man's land. The gun I'd want is the 1301 mod...

$850 is kind of a weird in between budget point for semi automatic shotguns. Low dollar options are largely the domain of Turkish import clones and prior to the inflation explosion $800-$900 could get you into something like an Berretta A300, FN SLP or Mossberg 940. Nowadays if you want...

That's a one in a billion shot. Also why I prefer ammo with hard primers.

So? What are people going to do then? Vote for Camel? Any vote not for Trump is a vote for Camel. Like it or not that is how it is.

I think the new Pythons are actually good guns since they worked the initial kinks out. The blueing on them is beautiful.

I'm getting awful sick of this premium pay for shit quality because of shit pay for shit DEI workers. Makes you want to burn a CEO/POLITICIAN'S house down.

Copy that, so it should be fully tightened. I don't need a super light DA pull, I look forward to working with a proper DA revolver trigger pull.

Well I just watched a video of a guy that bought a $3,500 Tommybuilt MP7 that functions like shit even after he sent it back for repair so I feel better that I at least didn't waste that much money. And I'm fairly confident S&W will be sending back a good gun as they did with my 340PD. So...

Yes but in comparison to American ammo European ammo on the whole has harder primers. I'm hoping such is also the case the the Brazilian MagTech and when my revolver comes back it will reliably shoot em all off. I'm becoming increasingly irritated over this whole affair. Which isn't helping...

When I swapped the boot grips that came installed for the Houge grip I didn't observe any grease or debris. The fun was coated with thick oil as one would expect. As is my custom with new guns I hit tge whole piece with Hoppes and wiped every thing down then re-applied a thin coat of CLP...

Question about this Strain Screw: is this an adjustable setting? Is there a specific tension I should be looking for or is it something that elis either just loose or tight?

You have no idea. It is such a shame as I find S&W's products so appealing and there are numerous other S&W guns I owould like to have but I am not so sure anymore. I suppose it depends on how the L-Comp performs when it gets back.

I think there must be a government program to round up people suffering from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome to give them CSR jobs

Oh, I went directly from the range to the shop where we immediately started the proceedings to have the gun sent back for inspection and repair. I imagine it on it's way at this very moment. However the information about the strain screw will come in handy. I think the thing that has me...

Not being at all familiar with revolvers could you point out the location of this screw for me?

I have nothing to lose. Nothing at all.

@S&W Fan @Xae289 As some of you might know I recently purchased a 586 L-Comp which is a Performance Center model. I took it to the range today and misfires A plenty! I initially loaded 7 rounds of 125gr Magtech FMJ .38 Specials. Could not get a single round to light off despite multiple...

Ah, direct mount is always nice. I hate plates!

Uh ..... why are we arguing politics and policy in the thread we use to show of our awesome hardware? Anyways............. We have here a S&W Performance Center 586 L-Comp. Certainly the finest handgun I own by a large margin and possibly the finest piece overall in my collection. It came...

I recommend the Bison burgers. The Bison are sourced from a small farm 10 miles up the road.

I'm thinking these would be the eventual replacement sights. It's a HI Viz fiber optic front post that also has a tritium vial in front of the light tube but the main reason I like it is that it seems beefy and qble to withstand some abuse. Likewise the LPA rear sight also seems like it...

That shop is only 30 minutes from me. Never been in there though. Next time you are out that way I highly recommend a trip to the Jean Bonnet Tavern. Excellent food and the place was first established from before the founding of the nation. George Washington held council and quartered troops...

There is a small but ridiculously well stocked shop in Mechanicsburg, which is right next to Harrisburg, called SPAR Firearms. They have a bewildering array of goodies in there including rare or hard to find items. They've had things like an SPAS-12 and the Coonan .357 1911 in there. They...

I'm working 9n it.

http://www.bmtequipped.com/purchase.php The BMT Mooner tool seems like the way to go, both moons and de-moons depending which way the cap is on. However it's $90. Honestly I don't think I will need it anytime soon. I'll train with moon clips, learn how to efficiently do revolver reloads and...

I think the black cherry color will look fantastic against the matte blue finish of the gun. I think I will go with the full size grips, I'm concerned that any boot grip with fingers grooves will have the same issue as the factory grips. Which is a shame as the factory rosewood grips are...

Alright I figured out what I'm gonna do with this thing: gonna put black cherry VZ Grips on and a green fiber optic front post. And a case or two of Remington SJWCs. And some snap caps, I want to learn how to properly do revolver reloads. I'll work with the moon clips awhile. For a holster I...

Smith & Wesson Performance Center 586 L-Comp.

I lied, it came in today. First impressions- it's very heavy for it's size, the trigger is excellent. Double action is smooth and not overly heavy however I think The Python Double Action feel is a little better, it's smoother yet though slightly heavier. Single action on the other hand is...

Would an L frame be to bulky for comfortable IWB carry? Or would you stick to OWB?

My gun will be in this Thursday

The big bore Ruger revolvers do have more appeal for me. The Super Redhawk in particular is an iconic revolver that I should take into serious consideration when it is time for a .44.

Speaking of Carry Comps I have just seen that Smith & Wesson is doing a Carry Comp series version of their M&P line. And they look seeeeeeexxxxxxyyyyy! I have been considering a 2.0 compact purchase for a while now, I think perhaps this new type cinches it for me. They look like something...

Anybody have some good holster recommendations for the L-Comp? Something suitable for heavy yet compact(ish)? Are revolvers too wide for IWB? Would this thing be to heavy for a high riding holster? I'll be wanting something a bit fancier to suit this classy beast.

The GP100 has several significant good points to it- The cylinder has lockup at both ends but both points are actuated by the single release button which is clever and convenient. The frame is a one peice construct with no side plate; instead the lockwork comes out as a sub assembly that is...

Absolutely they are, maybe not quite as pretty but absolutely high quality guns. It's mostly just about preferences.

Hoo boy is that a spicy price! I must confess that I don't quite see the appeal of a 10mm revolver what with 10mm and 357 ballistics being right on top of each other. However I learned years ago that when it comes to guns when you scratch it, there isn't any logic to it sometimes. Good luck...

I really like the proportions of the 586 L-Comp, it has that similar bulldog esthetic as the 627 snub nose but better balanced, not as cartoony, which admittedly I do like. When it comes to reclvolvers I definitely seem drawn to the shorter barrel models. The L-Comp is a Performance Center...

I thank you all for your input and with each post I was going back and forth on my decision. However I now have a 586 L-Comp on order with my LGS. @S&W Fan will be gratified to know that my shop's distributor had 19 of that model in stock. Should be here by the middle of next week, street...

I forgot- for Python money I can get a 586 L-Comp and have some bucks left over. The 586 L-Comp is a 7 shot blued L Frane with a 3" compensted barrel. I belive tge 3" is the rifled portion with about 1/2" of compensator at the end so it's a tad shorter over all compared to a 4" model. It's...

I'm tell8ng you guys if you handle a new Python alongside a new 686 you will immediately see a quality difference. The Python has better machining and tighter fitment and the trigger is excellent, very smooth and actually pretty light for a double action. I'm just not sure if I want to pay a...

Either one of those is on the list for after the 686 or Python. 629 if I go with the 686 and Anaconda if I go with the Python

Good point. Nevertheless I feel like I should get a more basic bitch blaster before exploring S&W's PC offerings. I still fancy the 627 snubby. Looks like a gun out of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Maybe I should look into an R8/TRR8 also. But the guns are hard to find and I'd like to give my LGS...

I'm sure your right but that's what I'm working with. This shop has helped me out several times now with shipping guns out for me at minimal charge, just what the shipping costs would be. That is a major convenience for me and they have been very accommodating in the past with seven other...

I'm not that well heeled and I'd rather spend any further revolver funds on a .44. I figure if I can handle .357 loads out of the 11.8oz 340PD I may as well get a .44 at some point.

This would be for range use and I suppose as a house gun too. I've fondled and shot both and I think the Python is better, everything is tighter and the trigger is lighter and smoother on the Colt. The Colt is also sexier. But I am also something of a a capacity min-maxer and 7 over 6 rounds...
