|SnOmAn| Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Nice pick up... How does that one feel in the hands and also for carry? I'm not a big fan of revolvers but it looks slick! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Nice,Here is my Colt Detective special.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted December 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Fits my hands pretty well. Have been wearing it all day, and it wears much better then the xd does iwb. Prints much less then the xd does. will be great for summer carry(what I got it for). Have yet to shoot it, hope to get out sometime this week to shoot it. King nice old school .38, saw that hammer off for carry. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiggO Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Nice find. I can't believe someone at a gun show in Ohio had such a nice holster. Everyone I go to has homemade holsters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Yeah snake river out of PA does the shows up here they have over 1000 holsters at each show. Mostly black hawk don hume and galco. They even had a left handed j frame in stock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedytriple Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 So for you wheel gun guys do any of you carry a speed loader or moon clip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 So for you wheel gun guys do any of you carry a speed loader or moon clip?No, I just aim at what i'm gonna kill. If you need more than 5 shots, you better call for backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted December 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Just not use to the 5 shot thing yet? I guess if you need more then one then you need more pratice huh? Will post range report soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
max power Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 You'll find that revolver to be incredibly accurate with some practice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf1000ride Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 What actually turns on the laser. Is there a switch in the grip somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted December 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 (edited) A button on the top of the laser. It works out good for me being left handed the button is right under your thumb when you grip it left handed.Kinda hard to see in the pic as it is fuzzy but the little grey button on top of the laser turns it on.

vf1000ride Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 That's cool. I have the Smith 340pd (J frame .357) with the crimson trace laser grips. On them it is a small button on the front of the grip, under your middle finger. You just tighten your grip on the gun to turn the laser on. You had asked about the speed loader, I don't have one for mine yet. I usually just keep 5 extra rounds loose in the change pocket of my jeans. I was looking at the Bianchi speed strips. They lay flat in your pocket so they won't look out of place. Most reviews admit they are not as fast as a conventional round speed loader but they are more convenient. Really got to take a pic of the other side to show the laser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carwhore Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 my next ccw piece will be a .357 wheel gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted December 15, 2010 Report Share Posted December 15, 2010 The 642 is my primary CCW due to its comfort, accuracy, and stopping capability with +P ammo. Welcome to the wheelgun club! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunseeker270 Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 Is that cylinder cut for moon clips? If so, they are a real handy way to carry an extra 5 rounds. Love S&W revolvers. I have a 610 (10mm/.40) and Performance Center TR 8 (.357). Did a trigger job on the TR8 and new springs. Like silk! Make sure to put some rounds thru the Bodyguard before carry. Had two buddies with that gun that had problems with light strikes. I think these issues were on the earlier releases. Nice gun though.

speedytriple Posted December 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I am headed to the range with it this week. After doing some dry firing to get a feel for the trigger it seems kinda heavy for a dao gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
