The S&W "Governor": Awesome! Now that would compliment any SD arsenal. Haka Hi Haka, I have read all kinds of negative remarks about the Judge. However, I own a 3" chambered S/S Judge and it sits loaded with #4 buckshot in my underware drawer (I can't think of anyone who would go through my underwa...

Hi Bullseye,

"higher degrees of consistency"..........a higher consistency of what? As I said, I know nothing and I come to the experts to learn. :D

Hi begreenea3,

Just out of curiousity, excluding the equipment required, what would the cost be to reload.......say 50, 38 Special wadcutters?

Dumb Question #1.......

Hi Guys,

Could someone please tell me; when a box of ammo is marked "Match"....what exactly does that mean?

I assume every cartridge in the box falls within some certain specification/s. But what :?:

Hi greener, One of the other revolvers I have is a 3" chambered Judge in stainless. I've shot quite a bit of 45 Colt though it and just a few 3", #4 buckshot. I have no complaints with it. It's a "sweet heart" compared to my snubby. Glad you brought it up. S&W is now making a Judge (Ooopps, "Governo...

I realize all you have seen them before, but I thought I would post a picture:

It's not a real good picture, but it is a picture. :(

Hi Gents, Thanks for the information. I do like to shoot the 638 but it sure does have one hell of a kick to it. :lol: As someone mentioned, it isn't quite as bad with wadcutters. 38 Special ammo is a little on the expensive side so I shoot my 22LR guns quite a bit more. I have crimson trace grips (...

Taurus, Public Defender Polymer?

Hi Guys, New here, so if this has been discussed before I apologize in advance. :D Taurus, Public Defender Polymer, Model 4510PLY-SS2. Just wondering what your take is on it? Does anyone own one? I don't want to make this a pi$$ing contest about Taurus quality. I own 2 Tauruses that are just fine. I...

Nice looking Ruger on your avatar. Hi greener, Thanks. :D Yes that is the last gun I bought (about a month ago). I've only put about 1200 rounds through it but I'm very pleased. It's my "new" favorite. :D As far as shooting the 638......you are quite correct. Not something you want to do on a regul...

Thanks for the replies Fellows. I really appreciate it. :D What initially motivated me was I was not exercising my 2nd Amendment Right. Well I took care of that :!: This first gun I bought was to carry.....for self defense. After talking to a lot of people I chose a S&W, Model 638 "Airweight" (38 Sp...

Many thanks fellows for your replies. As I said, the more I learn, the more I realize I don't know. :oops: Although, I have come to the conclusion that when I talk to people (mostly local) who I thought were well versed with guns .......there's a lot bullship out there (same as anything else)! :lol:...

New Guy from Pennsylvania.....

Hi Folks, This time last year I had never owned a gun (and I will be 65 in a few months :roll: ). Anyway, I now own 6 and I'm really getting into the target shooting. I've been shooting 1200-1500 rounds per month, but like everything else, the more I learn........the more I realize I know NOTHING :!...
