I have the Tactical version I purchased about 10 years ago. It's a standard 5" slide profile. I purchsed mine directly from Marvel for around $300, with an extra magazine, base pads and a magazine loading tool. Came in a nice padded nylon zippered case, with compartments for each of the parts. ...

Bamo, I have been having similar trouble in my S&W 52, sooty cases and lead buildup in the front of the chamber. Using 2.7gr of BE with 148gr cast WC. Maybe my load is too light also, causing blowback. I never considered too light of a load causing chamber leading. I will try upping the load a f...

I have a HW air rifle with the HW match aperture rear sight, and the tunnel front sight. The airgun is used for 10m shooting, and outdoor plinking at various ranges, so I am trying to stay with the post insert instead using of the aperture insert. The aperture that came with the rear sight is 1.6mm,...

In my experience there is no accuracy difference between the 185gr and the 200gr bullets. You may have to adjust your powder charge to realize this. Some like the 200gr bullets for slow fire at 50 yds, as they buck the wind better. Many good shooters I have known, tend to go the other way, as upping...
