SHIPPING & HANDLING 1.50 mer by pushing the hammer back as the case moves back to the recoil plate. If the limit pin is removed, some brands of ammo will give as many as 5 out of 6 pierced primers. The hammer spur has been bobbed so that it will not contact the shooter's hand when the limit pin pushes the hammer back. The primary advantage ofthe Model 547 is that the extractor segments are cammed out of the way and offer no resistance during reloading. The segments also easily snap over shells or rounds which get under the extractor. A stronger main spring and a longer strain screw are used to give a .015" copper indent to fire all varities of 9mm ammo. This indent is possible with a double action pull of less than 14 pounds and a 3 to 5 pound single action pull. Because I was curious as to how much would be lost by firing 9mm rounds through a revolver, I chronographed a variety of loads in both the 559 and 547, • Smith&Wesson 9mm: REVOLVER VS AUTO Load a. WoW 1OOgr jhp b. S&W 115gr jhp c. R-P 115gr jhp d. S&W 115gr fmj e. WOW 1OOgr jsp 547 1287fps 1128fps 1187fps 1105fps 1278fps 559 1279fps 1123fps 1164fps 1153fps 1264fps 90 For the first time Lubrl·Bond Solid Film Gun Lubricant is available to the general public. Lubri-Bond Gun Lubricant contains molybdenum disulfide in a paint-like binder and meets military specifications MIL-L-23398 and MI L-L-46147. It is used on high speed rapid fire guns (large and small caliber), aircraft, tanks and spacecraft, to mention afew. It is a permanent lubricant and once applied should last the life of the gun, depending upon its use. Lubri Bond Gun Lubricant will inhibit corrosion and provide a super smooth mechanical action on all moving parts. Dust and dirt will not stick to coated surfaces as it does when using oil or grease. All moving parts should be coated .If desired, the entire gun can be coated, which will provide exceptional corrosion protection .. Parts coated with Lubri-Bond Gun Lubricant will be grey in color. The Gun Lubricant Kit comes with two 3 oz. aerosol containers, One of the aerosols. contains a degreaser which is used as a pre-treatment before applying the gun lubricant. The other aerosol can contains the gun lubricant. Electrofilm also offers a service whereby you send us your gun and we will parkerize the entire gun (with the exception of the bore) and put on a topcoat of heat cured Lubri-Bond Solid Film Gun Lubricant.

Blvd.• No. Hollywood, CA 916051 27727 Ave. Scott· Valencia, CA 91355 • (213) 875-1000 The reason for the excellent performance of this round in the 4" revolver appears to be because the cylinder length provides additional chamber space to make up for the gap between cylinder and barrel. AMMUNITION Along with the new guns, S&W also introduced two new ammunition loadings. Both are 125 grain Nyclad hollow points. One is a non + P for the .38 Special, while the other is a 9mm load. Both were tested for expansion and velocity. The results are~_ listed below; Load a..38 Sp'l b.9mm NEWS&WAMMO 2"Vel 2"Exp. 4"Vel 4"Exp. 825fps .71" 917fps .78" 1145fps .80" The .38 load is designed for extensive use in airweight snubs, and offers impressive performance. It will turn the shortbarreled .38 into a gun an officer orcivilian can depend on. The 9mm load is most impressive and gratifyingly accurate in all my 9mms. S&W is also working on a variety of other calibers with Nyclad bullets.

REDHAWK VS M29 (Continued from page 61) powder. It was not anywhere near a maximum load, but rather an accuracy load delivering a bit over 1000 fps. The recoil was nearly similar with both guns. Trying a hotter factory load of Western 240 grain HSP (index 44MHSP) we noted the Ruger Redhawk delivered what could be described as a "hard push" vs. the "sharp whip" of the S&W 29. As expected, the challenge of an accuracy test was finally delivered as we polished off the second box of meticulous individually weighed reloads. Targets were set up at 25 yards and firing was to be off the bench. We would not really be shooting against each other as we were very well matched in ability. We were comparing guns and would each shoot several targets with both guns. As mentioned earlier, I was, in effect, matching an out-of-the-box Redhawk against a custom tuned M29. I wish I could report to you that something spectacular happened.

Both guns were so good that the whole thing got sort of boring. Our groups, no matter who was shooting which gun, stayed consistently within Jl/2 to 2Y2 inches. At times I would beat my own Ruger using Bill's S&W, and he would beat his S&W using my Ruger. The better group of 5 shots was seldom more than I/.! inch smaller. Ifwe proved anything at all, it was our own honesty in evaluating the potential of the new Redhawk. It is this potential, however, that makes this report worthy ofnote. The Ruger Redhawk is capable of delivering, out-of-thebox, accuracy equal to a much more expensive quality handgun which sported an accuracy job by a fine pistolsmith. In additionto this the Ruger is a more modern design, stronger, and made of better materials. Having satisfied our curiosity,' we pocketed our shoulder holsters, and headed up to an old abandoned farmhouse on a hill that was just plumb plagued with rockchucks.
