Taurus M380 Revolver Spring Swap Video

By Richard on February 11, 2013 No Comments

Taurus M380 video

If you are looking to lighten the trigger pull on your Taurus M380 (or Taurus M85 series for that matter) immediately click over to Pocket Guns & Gear and watch Bruce’s video showing you how to swap out the trigger return and hammer springs.

Bruce uses a Wolff spring kit to replace the factory Taurus springs.  With the factory springs, the M380 had a trigger pull weight of more than 12 pounds (the maximum his gauge could measure.)  Once he got the new springs installed, the weight was reduced to about 9 pounds 10 ounces.  He described the the lighter feel as “a huge difference.”  I don’t doubt it.

SAR Arms 357 Revolver

By Richard on January 25, 2013 2 Comments

SAR 357 revolver

The SAR 357 is a revolver made by Sarsilmaz and chambered for the .357 Magnum cartridge.  The handgun bears a resemblance to the classic Smith & Wesson revolvers and has several features like the Smith guns.

I had a chance to get a feel for one at the SAR Arms exhibit at the 2013 SHOT Show.  The sales staff was busy with many other customers, so I did not get a chance to draw out a lof of details about this pistol, but what I know I will share here.

Ruger LCR-22MAG

By Richard on January 4, 2013 5 Comments

Ruger LCR-22MAG

Another of Ruger’s new guns for 2013 is the LCR now chambered in .22 WMR.  The .22 WMR, aka 22 Magnum, is a higher velocity rimfire than the .22 LR that the LCR has been chambered for in the past.

The new Ruger LCR-22MAG is a compact revolver that uses the same polymer-aluminum hybrid frame that was introduced several years ago.  The original LCR was chambered for the .38 Special, but models for the .357 Magnum and .22 LR have been introduced since.

S&W 642 with Croc Grips

By Richard on July 2, 2012 No Comments

Smith Wesson 642 Croc GripsDistributors can often talk a manufacturer into making special runs of popular firearms so they can sell an exclusive item.  Talo Distributors is a company that has had great success in having companies produce limited edition firearms, and these Smith & Wesson 642 revolvers are just one example.

The S&W 642 is an extremely popular handgun.  It is a lightweight, five-shot revolver chambered for the .38 Special.  It is most commonly used as a pocket gun for concealed carry and as a backup gun for uniformed law enforcement.  I’ve carried mine in both capacities.
