    I have a red dot on my super blackhawk .44 mag. It’s sweet. I did have to look for the dot at first but now I know where to start n no prob. It’s way easier on my old eyes and only weighs a few ounces. Compared to a traditional scope it’s nothing.

    The Remington's trigger house sits with two pins - it doesn't get knocked off if hit sideways. The shell lifter in the Mossberg can pop out if the gun is dropped - renders the gun useless untill taken appart. Remington has terrible coating - can be fixed. Steel reciever lasts + 500000 shots. Mossberg's last 20000. (With the UN's law of stopping all guns for civilian use, a good lasting gun for your childrens grandchildren is adviced)

    my 617 had a lot of issues as well (light primer strikes, out of time and canted barrel). those were fixed by the factory. i think not being able to close the cylinder may be due to leadbuild at the gas shield. maybe the cylinders were not 100% aligned with the bore. during the first cylinder or 2 after coming back from the factory i got a dud which i thought was a light primer strike but it truly was just a dud. since being fixed the gun has been working well. the trigger is on the heavier side compared to centerfire smiths and the trigger breaks differently in some chambers compared to others but overall i am now happy with the gun. they repaired the yoke, recut the forcing cone and replaced the extractor

  • @jamesp739
    @jamesp739 4 місяці тому

    It's hard to say without examining your particular revolver, but part of the issue of closing the cylinder after a few rounds may be the accumulation of unburned powder and othet fouling under the extractor. This area must be kept clean and dry. Clean the area under the extractor and the recess in the cylinder, lube the area with only one drop of oil, then wipe the lube off with a clean dry patch. See if that helps. Also, it's a patridge front sight, not a partridge front sight. The front sight on you M19 is a Baughman Quick-draw. Yeah, I'm being a little picky... Thanks for posting.

    • @steelbearacademy8855
      @steelbearacademy8855 3 місяці тому

      Yeah, I'd have it immaculately clean, including under the ejector star, and the problems would occur within 20 rounds. Oh ok. I didn't know that was called that! =) Thanks for teaching me something!

    • @jamesp739
      @jamesp739 3 місяці тому

      You're welcome! You're certainly not alone. Many, many people call it a partridge sight. On your M19, Google "Baughman front sight history" for some interesting tidbits. Also, if you're not doing it already, try ejecting the empty cartridges with the barrel vertical, muzzle up and snap the extractor, don't pump it. At the end of the stroke, roll your thumb off the extractor rod and let the extractor snap back into place. The quicker, the better. Hope I explained that well enough. If you have an assortment of ammo, Federal, Remington, Winchester, etc. see if you notice any difference in the amount of debris left behind. Some brands burn cleaner than others. High velocity vs standard velocity ammunition may also show a difference. If all else fails, keep an old toothbrush handy and brush the recess the extractor sits in and the underside of the extractor occasionally, even if you don't see any build up. These tips work well on centerfire revolvers as well. Hope this helps. Good luck! @@steelbearacademy8855

    I have a couple of Mossbergs, but I bought a Remington 870 recently. I had always had the idea in the back of my mind that I would buy one if I came across a bargain, and that finally happened in the form of a Wingmaster from the 1950s. It really is a beautiful gun. I have a great deal of respect for the 870, and I enjoy shooting mine, but I still think the Mossberg design has a slight edge. I like that the lifter is out of the way during loading, and I think the placement of the controls is better too. The alloy receiver is a plus in my book. I've never heard of one breaking, and it's lighter than steel. The AR15 has an aluminum receiver too, and nobody seems to object to that. That being said, the reason this is still an ongoing debate is because they are both so good that you really can't go wrong with either of them.

But is it " necessary " for the serious stuff of fighting a war or defending one's home?? An empathetic NO is the legitimate answer. I've read a lot of news of guns being used in a life and death situation, NO ONE has ever mentioned, " I won the gunfight with the cretin because my gun has 25 lpi checkering.

The only reason I was torn because I really hate the way the glocks look but like that it's striker fired.
