Didn't type fast enough. Glad to hear you got it fixed. This happened once to my wife, except her bullet lodged about halfway down the barrel. She stacked three more behind it before the final round locked everything up tight. I now swear by the strength of Smith and Wesson revolvers. It, of course, needed a new barrel, but everything else was good to go.

They'll usually drive out fairly easily. :blush:Don't ask me how I know. The brass rod would be better if you can get your hands on one.

SOunds like you had a squib load. The primer pushed the bullet partially into the barrel, and the powder, if it exists in that round, didn't ignite. Try driving the bullet back into the case with a hammer and piece of a wood dowel.

Model 29 S&W. I like to quote the Dirty Harry speech about "the most powerful handgun in the world" before firing it. It also conjures up images of the miniscule Elmer Keith with the giant cowboy hat and the 44 on his side.

Now that's "Change you can believe in."

A lot of times, competition is so fierce on selling new guns that the profit margin on them is quite slim. Can you find the gun $18 cheaper at another shop? His price might already be in line. You can usually get further haggling on used gun prices than on the new ones. Especially when a shop advertises a price, it will likely be their rock bottom price.

O.K., now I understand what you meant. My wife accuses me of being cold hearted. Turns out she's right.

Nice Rugers. You have good photography skills as well.

I like mine. It does everything you'd want from a pocket pistol. I can actually hit pretty good with it after a bit of practice.

I think shooting them in breeding season would be a plus. They are a nuicance and need to be eradicated.

I get plenty of sport shooting them from my deer stand.

A couple of Colt SAs.

Here's a couple of wanna be's. 101 Savage single shot 22s, made to look like SA revolvers.

Show em, guys. Don't be bashful.

+1. As you can see, I'm a S&W guy, but daaaaaaaaaang, that Colt has a smooth action!!!!!

I just left a gun store where a policeman was picking up a stolen gun. They are checked both places before they are sold. A pawn shop that carries firearms has a Federal Firearms License, and is held to the same rules and regs as a gun store owner.

Now you're making me look forward to Christmas.

Top to bottom: 1917 Smith and Wesson 45 ACP Colt Python 357 Mag Smith and Wesson model 10 38 Spl. How'd I do?

The old ones are far superior to what Smith and Wesson is turning out these days.

This has been the case since Fisher has been coach. It was pretty much the same thing, yet to a lesser degree, with Steve McNair.

Cobra....a lightweight Detective Special.

It's a "bubba'd" 455 British, rechambered to 45 LC and shortened to 4". I got it cheap, and it shoots great. You know your Smiths, Garufa!

Looks good to me....how's it shoot?

Sorry dedgar, Garufa and Sidinman are correct. Somehow a Colt snuck into an S&W family reunion.

I see this topic come up pretty often, and each time I have to wonder what the perceived differences in guns shops and pawn shops are. In reality, they are basically the same thing. My experience with pawn shops pretty much mirrors my experience with gun stores; looking at thousands of overpriced, abused pieces and occasionally finding a jewel.
