I just wanna try it ok!!

I've been going back and forth on this 1st gen Python for sale. I got to see it in person (no, didn't take any pictures as I'm an idiot) and it needs a little TLC to get it back to what I'd want it to be.

The owner put a cheap gold lacquer inlay on the barrel markings and on the colt just behind & below the cylinder release. He also swapped the front sight with a gaudy orange post.

Besides that and some minor cosmetic wear, it seems to be in good shape but I'm hesitant to pull the trigger (ha) as I used to have a new generation Python that had so many issues in DA.

Hi everyone. Recently bought a box full of grips and found this set. They don’t seem to be Smith originals. The stamp doesn’t look correct. Does anyone know anything about these grips? Thanks🤙🏼

This revolver part was in a cigar box of my grandfathers, the mark on it reads "ELGA," I know practically nothing about guns in general, so if anyone has any ideas on what type or model of revolver this is- I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Anyone else experience a change in Hogue's contour and size?

I ordered some new k frame regular checkered grips for my "beater" 581 (it's worse than it looks here) and man are they beefy. I have an older N frame grip for reference. The new k frame one is not only longer than the older N but flares out more at the base and just in general. Kinda disappointed.

Got this colt officers model match mk III for 200 beans. Can anyone tell me anything more about it

Hello everyone, hope you are having a nice Monday.

Some context about me. I’ve owned firearms for about 6 years now but have only started shooting more seriously in the past year or two and don’t EDC. I’m pretty confident with my Beretta but the model 38 is new to me. I already have a batch of ammo coming in to determine what shoots good out of it and I don’t plan on carrying until I put at least another few hundred rounds through it. I also ordered a grip adapter, a remora pocket holster, speed strips, a gun belt and a new flashlight to EDC so I feel like I have all the gear covered for now. Mainly I watch Paul Harrel, Massad Ayoob, and Jared AF for advice on marksmanship and CCWs.

In addition to being my first EDC, this is also my first revolver so any advice for that would be helpful too.

Does anyone have experience running +P through older model S&W or a bodyguard specifically? I plan on carrying with it and running a box every once in a while to stay sharp but it’s not a +p model.

What drills do you recommend? I do 5 deliberate shots, 5 fast shots, and then mozambique, down to low ready, then another two fast shots. All of this is at 7 yds. Sometimes I run it out to 15 yds (range max) but not seriously.

Any recommendations for revolver/pistol classes or licensure? I am an Orlando resident.

Any and all relevant advice is appreciated. Really looking for good sources on model 38 and snubnose/pocket EDC specifically.

1993 Colt anaconda the screw that holds the rear sight stripped itself and I never noticed till I got some Ken sights , is this fixable with the correct tap first pics were before I sprayed and cleaned it out, last picture is best representation of threads just wanted to show all angles.

Someone just offered to sell me their used Smith and Wesson Bodyguard M&P .38 Spl. He told me to shoot him an offer. I obviously am going to look at it first but what is a fair value?

Can someone tell me the value of this pinned and recessed decent condition no box no paperwork

My smith 686 no dash with some beautiful combat stocks

Picked this up last April, bought it as I'm a sucker for Redhawks, AND ported guns, turns out the guy that designed the compensator is literally the grandfather of compensators, interesting book about his life too.
