My Favorite Revolver…S&W Pre-Model 15

Many, many years ago my father had picked up an old Smith & Wesson revolver chambered in .38 Special. At the time he nor I knew too much about it, but he ended up giving it to me. It has some engraving on the revolver itself from some sort of department. It’s electro penciled with some initials and a number. It would be really cool to find out exactly where this revolver spent time serving. This particular revolver was my very first. I took it into a shop and unlike newer revolvers by Smith & Wesson, it doesn’t have a model on the revolver behind the cylinder yoke, like 10-1 or 66-1 etc… The serial number is on the bottom of the grip and starts with a K, so it is a K frame similar in size to a Model 10. It has a blade front sight and an adjustable rear sight leaf. Case hardened hammer and trigger assembly with a very bright and deep bluing.

After a bit of research I discovered that it’s actually a Model 15 4”, but before they marked them as such. It’s a Pre-Model 15 from around 1957 based on some research of the serial number itself. Very early on I changed out the wooden grips(which don’t appear to be the original anyways) for a set of Hogue rubber grips I picked up from Brownells. Hogue grips make the shooting experience of any revolver so much better. The help to get a better purchase on the grip, but also help to soak up any recoil by the revolver. Of course .38 Special is a soft shooter anyways. After some more years go by I decided to re-install the wood grips that were on the revolver when my Dad picked it up. They just look right on an old classic revolver such as this. I also spent some time taking the side plate off to inspect and lubricate the working internals. Who knows how long it had been since it had been removed for an inspection. Using my magna bit set from Brownells, which I highly recommend since it has all the different fine flat blades needed for classic firearms, I gently removed the screws and side plate. The internals were fairly dirty, but didn’t see anything that looked worn enough warrantying a replacement. I lubricated and put it back together.

Shooting this old revolver is actually quite an experience. It’s very accurate. I use 158gr semi wadcutters and Hodgdon Tite Group powder for my hand loads. I load them very soft so that anyone can shoot it and have fun doing so and not have to worry about recoil scare. It’s truly an awesome firearm to hand to a new shooter that maybe has never fired a firearm or doesn’t have much experience. Hopefully I can eventually find some information regarding the department this revolver was issued to. I believe Smith & Wesson does keep some records, but I have yet to reach out to them. This is one of those firearms that surely will be passed down to one of my daughters someday and hopefully onto one of their children just as my father passed it down to me.

There’s something wholly satisfying about the .357 Magnum, wouldn’t you say? #leveraction #357magnum #henryrifles #smithandwesson #revolver #leveractionrifle #38special

Different Types of Bullets and Their Uses

The .38 extraordinary ammo is famous for home and self-preservation circumstances. It is marginally bigger than a 9 mm slug, (9 mm versus 9.1 mm) and will squeeze into most .38 exceptional guns.

There is a .38 exceptional S&W assortment that has a bigger case width making it too huge to even consider stacking into a norm .38 unique. S&W represents Smith and Wesson - the .38special bullet and the .38 S&W bullet are not compatible despite the fact that you can fit a .38 unique into a .38 S&W handgun.

The .38 unique bullet fits a couple of rifle applications. More seasoned military rifles, for example, the Japanese Sort 38 Rifle is one such gun.

OTB - Open tip Bullets are otherwise called match bullets since they are a #1 at shooting occasions and for target practice. They get their name because of a little space at the tip.

Like most ammo, they can have a scope of purposes. Individuals need to involve them for hunting, and they will work however there are such countless better decisions.

OTB is valued for contests since they are more precise than numerous different sorts of bullets, like adjusted tip bullets. The little open pit at the bullet's head extends holding the tip of the bullet back from hanging during its direction. OTB is one type of empty point bullets.

Policing are strategic ammo frequently empty point and may incorporate reinforcement puncturing applications. The bullets may not really be greater or higher in grain as the two parts of bullets imply that the gun holds less adjusts. An illustration of a policing is a 9 mm luger 135 gr - as conveyed by most FBI specialists. Check out cci 550 primers.

Short proximity bullets are much of the time those reasonable for handguns since handguns shoot at a lower speed and don't make generally excellent long-range weapons. Handguns are for the most part great in the zero to 50-yard range. Absolutely, shells from handguns can travel more than 50-yards, yet they will quite often quickly lose precision.

Shotgun shells arrive in a variety of sizes. They are somewhat not the same as bullets that have a metal packaging and on second thought have crates that hold the shot.

Shotguns are short proximity weapons and can be valuable with good reason assuming there is adequate space to carry the gun to bear. Crowdedness can make going for the gold. At the point when you really want to spread shot over a wide region, a shotgun finishes the work well. A splash of dots can cover 5+ feet in measurement.

Firearms Projects from 2023

This past year has been quite a fun year in terms of firearm projects I’ve been a part of. Definitely managed to check a few of my collection and project goals off the list, no doubt. The year started out with a lofty goal I had started last year and that was to obtain one of the new Spear LT rifles from Sig Sauer. Brownells got one in stock in January and I was able to pick it up and go to town with it. It’s one gorgeous rifle and hasn’t undergone much in regards to changes since picking it up. Only added a Sig Tango MSR 1-6 optic, Rugged muzzle device, backup sights and the Arisaka rail clamp. Other than that it’s been shot and shot a good bit. One of my favorites!

My next firearm project was going old school. I had wanted a new revolver for quite some time and ended up picking up a Smith & Wesson Model 629 6.5” .44 Magnum. It’s one gorgeous revolver! Swapped out the springs for a spring kit from Brownells to lighten up the trigger pull a tad and swapped out the nice wood grips for a set of Hogue grips to tame down the punch top the hand. It’s one great shooter!

Next up was a project that I had been wanting to do for a few years now and that was a tactical levergun. I had hopes of a Henry X model, but opted for an all-Weather in .44 Magnum from Brownells. Sent it off to MadPigCustoms for a chop and thread and threw the Ranger Point Precision catalog at it. Topped off with the Brownells MPO 1-6 donut optic and rugged Obsidian 45 suppressor, it’s already been proven to be a solid hunting rig. Took the largest buck I’ve ever harvested this season using this setup. Already looking towards my next levergun project. Have been thinking of a .357/.38Special, but might end up with a 45/70.

Both the Henry .44 magnum and S&W 629 .44 magnum sparked a renewed interest in reloading. Since I now have 3 firearms using .44 magnum, I decided that it was time to start reloading this caliber. It’s been a ton of fun and I’ve found my reloads to be way more accurate in my Henry rifle than factory ammo of the same type.

My latest project has been the most trying and definitely not finished yet and that’s my Ruger SFAR 16” .308 rifle I picked up from Brownells a few months ago. I have hopes to use this rifle on future hunting trips, but so far it’s no where’s near where it should be. It has struggled with some gas regulation issues which have been commonly reported with these rifles. Ruger has an updated gas regulator enroute to me as I write this. The other issue I’ve experienced has been a defective ejector.

All in all it’s been one exciting year in my life in regards to firearms! I thoroughly enjoy projects like these even if they don’t go smooth. Looking forward to what next year’s going to bring.
