Doesn’t hurt they’re made in TN now either

I think their revolvers are still being made in Massachusetts.

Correct

• Smith & Wesson will keep some of its manufacturing operations in Springfield, Massachusetts, including all forging, machining, metal finishing, and assembly of revolvers, and will continue to have over 1,000 employees in the state.
• The new facility will be built in Maryville, Tennessee and will comprise of the company's headquarters, plastic injection molding, pistol and long gun assembly, and distribution.

Picked up some M*Carbo parts for the Ruger LCP Max.

Should get the trigger down to about 4.5 lbs. (and get rid of the tinging from the spring).

M Carbo makes good stuff. I outfitted my Charger and my p365 with their mods.

I'm working on getting one through my back channels here at S&W. Employees get a great discount.

BTW, "Heat" is on Netflix at the moment...I hadn't watched it in a while; it definitely still holds up as a great movie (imho).

Except we all know what a puss deniro really is now. Still pretty decent.

Anyone have the .357 Blackhawk that comes with the 9mm cylinder as well?
Struck me as one gun with 3 cartridges available ranging from, in that configuration, near no recoil 9mm up thru the .38s to a serious .357 round could be handy for the whole family to learn on and use and progress up in power as desired.

In the serial #, none. It starts with DLX. I looked at my invoice and the gun was $589. All in with taxes & shipping it was $640 ish.
