You totally lost me when you arrogantly proclaimed that S&W revolvers are "JUNK". So you're a Colt "fan boy". Ok, got it, but pretending to be doing a semi-serious demonstration with the very firearm you claim is junk is just juvenile. Grow up and be professional in reviewing a product. You're reviewing Pachymaer grips - OR - was your real goal here to just slam a gun manufacturer? If S&W's are all junk then why are you demonstrating with one? Why aren't you using your Colt? As for much of the other nonsense you proclaimed, I'll let others address that if they wish.
In my opinion: Keep watching & reading comments.. Show me a good one & I bet there would be obvious discrepancies. Got a few here aboutr over crushed barrels & bouncy cylinder J frames. Seems a Smith& Wesson factory exclusive. Most of my videos would be based on experience & not fan boy anything. Experience means it's consensus formed on the job, or in acidemia.. Criticism is the contrasting justification to academic discussions. If someone doesn't understand what "professional" is, they'd be seriously lost to the swear words of a Marine, mechanic or truck driver. Like how you really haven't said anything here. Character attacks don't hold up to proper inference for discovery the eyes can obviously see. Not to worry, I'll leave your comment so others might see the word salad.
THIS GUY KNOWS NOTHING, S&W MAKES THE FINEST REVOLVERS....MY COLT 38 SNUB NOSE DETECTIVE SPECIAL FELL APART AFTER FIRING PLUS P'S.....TO LOOK AND HANDLE THAT GUN ONE WOULD THINK IT COULD HANDLE THE HEAVIER LOAD, BUT IT CAN NOT....SCRATCH ONE COLT !
for crying out loud. where did you get your opinions. it is good to know how to run the gun with one hand, that includes reloading, IN CASE OF AN EMERGANCY, but you're not supposed to run the gun with one hand, You've got two hands use em.
In my opinion: You could ask Keanu Reeves that same question. You could ask Phil Motzer or take one of his crucible courses. If you so happen to have been a WWII vet trained by the late Rex Applegate, you would have already known this. I wouldn't be the only guy who shares these same views. It's just so many firearms trainers don't know what they would be doing & things have gotten way "out of hand" with the high cap market trend & the paper target NRA stuff that passes for "safety". It's pretty terrible to rely on. I can run quite a few rifles on a sling with one hand. Most Army & Marine vets can run a M16 or AK with one hand/arm. Perhaps you could take some courses to learn what you've been missing out on.
@@carolinausedmachinerySo you would actually think point shooting with only one hand at a man sized silhouette at 50 yards without using sights on sloppy military issued 1911s would be worse that what passes by today's standards? 😂 🤣🤣🤣 Yeah, they'd toss a coin in the air & blast the center out for ariel target practice with military rifles. If you were good enough, you might be able to hit a baby aspirin without the help of using any sights because they did not rely on them. Yeah, I don't think John Wick can do that or most people. Obsolete you say? The only thing that's truly obsolete is the cross hair scopes that actually used waxed horse hair for their redicles in the 1940s & 1950s. Had to wait until the deer came to an open area because it was darn hard to see dark brown hair from the trees. 😂 One of the major reasons they didn't rely so much on using two hands was that it requires more attention to breathing*. With use of tear gas, two hands make things way worse for quick accurate hits.
Have you tried Hogue Tamer Monogrips? I have slightly larger hands (7.8" vs 7.3" average), and had the same problems as you with my s&w 686+. Not 100% satisfied though; the palm bump location is not ideal and my pinky is more outta the action than I'd like. But I'll bet the Hogue has even better recoil adsorption than the Pachmayr.
In my opinion: I have not. They look like they would work well having a flat back strap. I don't care for the palm swells on a complete unit. What I mean by that is if it's going to be your panic self defense gun you could use an adhesive to bond a Hogue sleeve to the existing grip after finding to where the palm swells would be in the right spot for your hand. It should also add extra thickness on the top of other grip platform. I did that with a Glock 17 perferring the Glock 21 size better. I don't intend to sell the gun & it probably will last longer than my lifetime. Glock fans often tell me it looks bad like gun abuse with their teary eyes. I don't like how some guns you'd have to learn to shoot vs picking the thing up & blasting off.
In my opinion: Well you wouldn't want to drop it. Remington must be having a hard time being sued over their iconic 700 series hunting rifles supposedly going off without pulling the trigger. It's not my idea of what a "misfire" would be, but that's what they're calling it these days. Anything with an external hammer you should be especially careful with. Several years ago a woman accidentally shot herself adjusting her bra holster when she accidentally snapped the hammer to a North American Arms 22 micro revolver. She died. Think the holster company might've gotten sued. So you would want to pay attention to how you holster & how it interacts with all the retention devices. Most people don't give it much thought, but accidents do happen & it's not always because the trigger was pulled. Just have to be careful best you can. ~ Cheers.
@@im2drt In my opinion: YT didn't notify me of your reply, but sadly, I don't have the OEM boot style grip. It's hard to get round butt grips these days.
At about 2:05 you refer to the grips already on the gun as Uncle Mike's and as having come from Smith with those grips. I love the look of those grips and have spent hours trying to find them. The only Uncle Mike's that came standard that I can find are the now famous Rubber Boot grips, which have gotten quite expensive, but which I don't like the looks of. Please, what is the name of that particular Uncle Mike's grip, or do you know where I can find one? I''d pay a lot for yours if you still have them.
@@rljknj Welcome to the channel. Unfortunately I do not have the grips anymore. They were the OEM round butt that came on law enforcement types of K frames. They did fit small to medium sized hands well. I would check Centerfiresystems.com for surplus or reach out to Smith&Wesson to see if they still offer them. After PDs went to pistols, 38 special revolvers were being used by correctional facilities & security guard companies. I would think due to the milage on professionally used firearms they would have a stock pile handy for warranty repair or refurbishment. Numrich may have them being a major parts company. The round butt benefited from tearing at the bottom that square ones did. This would save a lot of car seats from the corner end of the frame grinding though upholstery.
What’s a Colt only heard of SW. and Ruger. I used my mod 64 3 time in 25 years. Always a snap draw one hand point shot 10-15 feet . Never saw a sight. 158 grain LSWCHP Work. Every time
In my opinion: Hello there, Colt was the primary & premier brand of revolver. Most of the old time guns in America you see on cowboy movies would be Colts. Colt was believed to have pioneered the revolver prototype after carving out a pin wheel cylinder design. Sometime ago around the late 1990s or so, frivolous law suits were popping up over public safety & social policies that inferred guns were so evilly dangerous that an owner had to be totally liable for every aspect of firearm ownership. Smith&Wesson lead the way with more safety features making them more popular as Colt seemed to have cut production & taken a back seat for well over a decade. Smith&Wesson was an easier revolver to hot rod being almost everything was a machined part of known value. Colt made high quality parts that had to be fit by factory artisans that required actual knowledge & skill of the trade. Oftentimes they'd shoot out of time & had to go back for tuning. Smith&Wesson's ratchet gear & hand required fitting and their cylinder gaps tended to be larger so that they didn't crud up as bad. A Colt cylinder gap was like .002" - .004" whereas Smith&Wesson was like .004" - .012" anything over .008" should be rebuilt but they put them out there. Smith&Wesson seems to try to out do other manufacturers on their innovative designs. Like Charter Arms firing pin activation feature & Taurus's hammer lock. When Taurus came out with a titanium 38, Smith&Wesson advanced to scandium alloy out doing everything that challenged their throne so to speak. Ruger was a tool company that tried their chance at making guns. That's why so many pistols look like handheld power tools in the 1980s & 1990s. They have an innovative trigger sub assembly that eliminates need for a side plate. No loose crews to fall out & everything was CNC machined when they started. Don't forget to subscribe to my channel that way you won't miss out on content not covered anywhere else. My experience started in 1997 & education from the 1940s. I think you would largely benefit. One other thing, if you have a Colt do not shoot high pressure rounds being they WILL shoot out of time in short order. They weren't known to handle anything of the Magnum variety despite making 357s.
Agree with you on recoil absorption. Even though I have a small hand, I still hate skinny revolver grips, like the type of skinny wood grips on many S&W revolvers, I want something a little more substantial to hold on to. I had larger Colt wood grips on my Colt Python, but when shooting full power 357 magnums, I could feel the vibe in my hands. OMG, what a difference the Pachmayr grips made in absorbing any the felt recoil of .357. I also have them on my Rossi 38 Special snub nose, feel so comfortable. I don't care for Hogue rubber grips though, as I find the rubber to hard, and grip to fat. Took the uncomfortable Hogue rubber grips off my Sig P229 .357 Sig and replaced with E2 grips.
In my opinion: Welcome. Honestly, I don't know if their K frame grip would fit those. The frame studs tend to present issues in fitment if anything. If it looks like a K frame's outside profile, you might be able to make an impression on the inside of the Pachmeyer, then melt holes with a soldering iron, but I don't know. Hogue may have a mono grip for the 605. Hogue would get past most frame stud issues with its track stirrup mounting system. It wouldn't feel or work like a Pachmeyer being their palm swells can act like door knobs. I've had Taurus revolvers to know how fusterating it is to find good grips that they never seemed to ever have had. But they do shoot well once the hammer spring relaxes.

@@opinionsvary agree anytime we register we should have a finger on the backside of the hammer and look as the firearm is reholstered
@@Jaybird-oo3ih In my opinion: Sure, that sounds safe.

iI you need your thumb pressing on the side of the revolver to keep the gun straight, you need to work on your trigger pull.
In my opinion: Hands tend not to work too good without use of a thumb. That's a proven science.my friend.
Will the grips fit the taurus 605 or 856 .
In my opinion: Welcome. Honestly, I don't know if their K frame grip would fit those.
The frame studs tend to present issues in fitment if anything.
If it looks like a K frame's outside profile, you might be able to make an impression on the inside of the Pachmeyer, then melt holes with a soldering iron, but I don't know.
Hogue may have a mono grip for the 605.
Hogue would get past most frame stud issues with its track stirrup mounting system. It wouldn't feel or work like a Pachmeyer being their palm swells can act like door knobs.
I've had Taurus revolvers to know how fusterating it is to find good grips that they never seemed to ever have had. But they do shoot well once the hammer spring relaxes.
Is this m60？
In my opinion: Not sure. The gun is a stainless Smith&Wesson 64-6 38 special 6 shot revolver. It's possible that they're used in military ops, but I really don't know. It would be based of the old LEO model 10 only in stainless.
