Discussing the Performance Center Shield that a friend of mine picked up a few days ago.

Being an early adopter can be costly. This S&W Victory is one of the first off of the assembly line with a serial number under 1K. Had I known S&W would be coming out with threaded barrel shortly after release, I probably would have waited. Instead I purchased a threaded Volquartsen barrel because my suppressor was due any day.

Mission I recently took on a mission to create The Ultimate Defense Revolver capable of solving any personal defense encounter in North America.

A very nice 5 Screw K22 Masterpiece from 1953. Often it is asked what is the real difference between the 5screw, 4screw and 3screw S&W revolvers. I am blessed enough to know someone who has each of this generational series in 22LR. I will give a high level brief overview of the differences starting with […]

The "Skeeter Load", which is a 250 grain cast SWC loaded in a .44 Special case with 7.5 grains of Unique powder, is one of my favorite loads.  This load, named for Skeeter Skelton, shoots from my 6 1/2" S&W Model 29 at about 950 fps.  I want to duplicate this velocity when shooting the same bullet from my S&W Model 629 TALO Deluxe, which has a 3" barrel.
