Found my way back, with a new toy

[TheTman]

Hi all, I found my way back after a couple days. Santa dropped by and left this for me: I must have been very good this year (good for nothing!)

What is that round thing in the middle, and were's the slide? :)

Nice lookin' wheelie!

[TheTman]

That is what the cavemen used to shoot dinosaurs with. That roundthing held the rocks and the hammer knocked out the end at a high rate of speed. Then when you were out of rocks you took that round thing out and threw it them.

[Bawanna]

They shipped the right gun pretty fast. Looks good. Glad you did'nt have to suffer through a long wait.

Nice! Apparently, cavemen ROCK! ;)

I guess they shipped the gun the same day the discovered their mistake. At least they hadn't shipped out both guns, and had to wait for it to come back then ship it to the right person. Bawanna, I hate to say this, but those grips look like something you might have come up with, but I guess with this "TALO" edition, all they did was put on some nice grips instead of the standard rubber ones. I didn't know this, but on the 7 shooters they use titanium alloy to add the strength necessary to squeeze 7 in there. They say the first cylinder you shoot, to shoot 6, then compare them to the last unfired round and see if there are any deformaties in any of the cases, and send it back if there are. Also check the unfired round for a bullet being unseated and change ammo if it is. They also say don't shoot bullets under 120gr. so that the titanium alloy doesn't get premature erosion. Whatever, guess I wont be shooting the WWB 110 gr mags. I don't see how that would be much different than shooting 38 specials out of it. You just clean it real well so you don't develop that ring, that causes the .357 cases to bind up when you try to eject them.

Another seven shot. I load softball loads in .357 cases to ease the cleaning issues.

Lookin' at this thread is making me drool (more than usual).

[WMD]

Very nice wheel guns.... both the Dan Wesson and the Smith! :)


340pd, what do you mean by "softball" loads? How do they aid in cleaning?

[TheTman]

Those are both Smith and Wesson WMD. I know I bought some Dan Wessons recently, probably got you confused.

I am in the act of purchasing a new S&W Model 638 Bodyguard J-frame. Those grips look exactly like what I want to get. Same size and shape as the boot grips that come on the gun, but in checkered wood. Is this also a Talo edition? Or did it come from S&W that way?

I own two revolvers that I love shooting and hunting with but hate cleaning them. The cylinder in particular is a pain in the butt.

I am new to revolvers, so forgive my ignorance. But what makes cleaning the cylinder such a pain?

The holes in the cylinder are like having extra barrels to clean. Also the front of the cylinder and the forcing cone area of the frame pick up a lot of baked on black debris from the hot gases escaping there. :rolleyes:

With my wife's revolver, I have found that M-Pro 7 Cleaner (http://www.opticsplanet.net/hoppe-s-9-m-pro-7-gun-cleaner.html) is the answer. We are slowly working our way through a 24 ounce spray bottle. It works better than anything else I have found, especially for that hard baked, black stuff on the front of the cylinder. :D

Thanks for the info and the tip, TucsonMTB! :)

It might not be you, but its probably your computer or your ISP that is slow because it is fast for me.

More likely, a temporary KahrTalk.com server condition. Everything else was normal and KahrTalk.com seems to be normal again now. Oh well. Old new, actually. I am usually fairly patient. :rolleyes:

They are factory grips. I am pretty sure they are made by Atamount for S&W

[340pd]

By using the .357 cases I do not get the ring of carbon that forms when you shoot the shorter 38 special case in a .357 cylinder. I use a lighter load because I am just shooting paper at my local range and it saves me and my gun the heavy recoil of full loads.

Thanks, I'll have to give that stuff a try...

I like revolvers too....

Speed has been horrible for over 36 hours in metro Detroit. Only for KahrTalk.com

[Bawanna]

Something is jamming me up at work. I was thinking that the IT people were trying to block kahrtalk. I finally couldn't take it anymore and asked. They said nothing has changed, they have been downloading alot of stuff transitioning to a new mail system.
Said I shouldn't be on kahrtalk during business hours because of the bandwidth. I told I have been every day for a couple years and it ain't hurt nothing so I was gonna stay the course.
I also told them if they were blocking it and lieing to me I'd be back.
I'm deeply stressed. I pop in and out all day between task to decompress and I get depressed when Jocko don't pester me 20 times a day.
I hope it cures itself in the next day or so. I might need councilling.

[TheTman]

It could be extra holiday traffic on the Internet, I'm getting lot's of spam on "last minute Christmas deals". Could be foreigners trying to overload the net and foul up some servers, could be a lot of things. Cyber attack by Iran or something like that.
I'm also getting a lot of chain e-mails, those damn things really clog up the net.
I try not to send them on unless they are too funny not too.

Here on my 1 meg DSL in Western NC, I have not seen any kind of slowness on Kahrtalk. It used to be slow because I never deleted my cookies. But I have been doing that very frequently the last couple of months and its like I have a new turbocharged system. :typing:
