Had some rangetime with the 59 today, and the accuracy is very poor. Out of 5 shots, 3 could be whitin 3" at 27 yrds, but 2 shots could be 10-15 " away from the others. Tried over and over again, same result. The barrel show some wear inside, as if there have been shot corrosive ammo witho...

Hello Gents Picked up a Smith&Wesson mod 59 cal 9mm today. They are rare here in Norway, and the first one I have ever seen. I liked the pistol, the grip suits me well and the trigger was crisp and without any creep. Doubleaction also very good. But what kind of accuracy can I expeckt from this ...

Gents. I have now used my mod 16 for a while, and it works great. I get good precicion at 50 yrd, 2,2" I consider good for this little gun. I size my bullets to .314 and there are NO leading in the .308 barrel. I use it with N310, but I have reasently tried Hodgdon Clay in .38 spes with good re...

Hi. Pardini deliver 2 sorts of barrels to the GT9, one lead and one for fmj. In Italy they are not allowed to have 9x19mm (military cal) and therfore they do not chamber the gun, the main distributor in the country who may sell this guns have to chamber them theirselves. I think thats why you can fi...

I would be interested in your results from powder coated bullets. I have never tried them either and don't know anyone who has. http://i195.photobucket.com/albums/z48/OlavM_2007/10857936_10205376718448048_5397094691224425989_n_zpsf5f55e56.jpg Got my powdercoat yesterday and had to test. I am please...

I have a "standard load" which have worked well for me in different guns, I have also tried this in a GT9, and got a Group at 27yds measuring 22mm c-c. Its a Lee 120gr TC 3,8gr Vith N320 and oal 28,2mm(1,110") cal.dia .357

Jerry, I will take some pictures of the ball bearing system when I get my revolver back. The downside with the ball bearing system is that the extractor push the brass only 4-5mm out from the cylinder, so you basically have to pick out the empty brass one by one. And the extractor are springloaded s...

I would suggest a discussion with the gunsmith. If this was a Model 16-4 (.32 H&R Mag) and the original cylinder (which it looks like but its a picture), then you might want to check and see how much and how large the cylinder throat is. It looks to me as if there is likely to be no cylinder th...

If it was the later version of the Model 16 (full lugged .32 H&R mag), I'm impressed. Not many people would turn a $1000 to $1500 revolver into a custom snubbie. Most people generally use the Model 30 or 31 for this type of conversion. I have even heard of some trying to chamber the older ones ...

Thx for the advise oldcaster. I have 3 bulletmolds in .32, a Lee tlswc 90 gr, a Hensley&Gibbs 98gr swc and a RCBS 90gr wc. I hope I can get some good results with the Hensley&gibbs mold, it`s a 4 cavity mold. But will buy the Lee mold(6cav)to. Have also ordered some teflonbased powdercoat, I...

Hello Gents I have a projeckt going, to make a .32 Smith mod 16 into a "racegun" in the snubnoseclass(we have competitions for snubnoserevolvers) Two major things have been done, the orginal barrel is replaced with a .308 riflebarrel and the cylinder is shortend to take just .32 s&w lo...

Hi.
Try VV N310, an exellent powder for light targetloads in .32 and .38 (and .45acp)
It`s the fastest burning powder from Vitavouri.
