I'd say you have very good taste in firearms......




I had a local smith do an 'action job' on this one. It was nice before, but fantastic now.  :tu:

We, the largest part of Europeans, can't even imagine having a gun at home just like that... :/

Its already one of the best triggers ive felt. I cant imaging what it would be with an action job. Do you carry yours?

I do.

I thought it might be too big to carry, but I have a nice IWB holster and it carries surprisingly well.

Out of the box, the trigger pull was close to 11#. After the action job it was closer to 8-9# (I don't remember exactly, but will measure it if you want.) And it felt smoother, too.  S&W can build a nice firearm.

Congratulations on getting one heck of a handgun!  Those grips are sweet! :tu:

Well, Mechy, Europeans can't be trusted with firearms. Just one of those stark realities. Even locking knives seem questionable in the hands of Europeans. You guys are just that wild and unpredictable. Which is kinda cool if you think about it.  8)

I have been carrying it owb with either a galco silhouette or desantis thumb break for about a week and no one has noticed that I know of (except when I open carried of course, but not many people even notice that, haha. Its getting a little warm for owb so I have a galco Summer Comfort iwb on order for it. Holsters for the 3” barrel are hard to find.

This is how I have been carrying with the Galco. I have to put the belt over it to get it to sit tight to my side.

I've got a basic holster for the 3" barrel. Made by Simply Rugged. A basic holster, but I love it. And surprising effective.

I like your high carry Galco.  :tu:

More S&W revolvers:



The 6" K frames are from the '50s and mostly safe queens - OWB only, if carried, for me. The 2" J frames are frequently pocket carried (in a Mika holster).

Here is my S&W 357 Mag.



Up here in Canada, you can't have snubbies. At least we get to play with longer barreled handguns though.

I have a decent collection but these are probably my favorites overall for a lot of reasons.

IMI Baby Desert Eagle/Jericho 941 in 9mm and .45

The Long Slide is the 9 and these are not Poly Guns because Isreal Steel is Real!

I load my own 'Chicago' loads for the 640: a hot 155gn wadcutter moving around 1050 fps. I find a full .357 Mag load a bit heavy in the J-frame; but a reduced .357 Mag 'Chicago Load' seems to be accurate and manageable.   :tu:

I thought a "Chicago Reload" was a second pistol...   :D

Here is a great shooting 22LR pistol - Ruger MKIII 22/45, the plain Jane version. The target is 10 rounds at 10 yards (sitting).

A New York reload is a second revolver.  A Chicago load is a hot semi-wadcutter hollow point.  It's quite possible to have a New York reload stoked with Chicago loads......actually...a good idea.

Ooops...I think I misspoke.  :-[  My hot 155gn wadcutters are not....NOT...the same as the famous "Chicago Load". My load is.......my own. The Chicago Load or FBI Load is a hot LSWCHP using a 158gn bullet. I load those, too. But I prefer my 155gm lead WC's.

Matter of fact, i wonder if i could con someone into trading me one for my s&w PC shield. Interesting.... i even have both ported and non ported barrels for it. Either that or sell enough in MTs lol. Idk if i would want to part with my shield.

Any particular reason for the 3 grn difference? Doesnt seem like enough to make a difference.
