Hi Guys! Here's a review of a cool little J-frame I've had in my collection for over 20 years. I'm not sure why these were never more popular; nor do I know why the same concept was never applied to the airweight/airlite revolvers. In any case, enjoy the review and let me know what you think!

I enjoyed the video.....well done. I have often wondered about acquiring one of these, but have not done it to date. I did shoot a Taurus lightweight 9mm "J-frame" and really found it most objectionable due to the recoil.....and that was with std. hardball ammo. I have no desire to ever shoot that revolver again. 9mm snubbys need weight, or at least a decent grip size in my way of thinking.
I own a S&W Mod. 40 "lemon squeezer" with a Tyler T-grip that is one of my old favorites for easy concealment, and adequate caliber. It is all steel construction, so recoil is manageable for me.

Good video, Howard.
How do you clean the hammer in an enclosed-hammer revolver?

Good video, Howard. How do you clean the hammer in an enclosed-hammer revolver? You simply clean the barrel and cylinder normally. The internal lock work is more or less a “sealed” system. If you absolutely HAVE to get in there for some reason, the side plate has to be removed. Come to think of it, in all the years I’ve had my 940, I don’t recall ever doing that. Howard |

Hello,
I remove the grips and spray lite oil (aerosol can/red straw) in through the openings, work the action and then leave the gun resting on end dripping out the excess oil for a bit. At least by doing this from time to time, your lube-n' the action and combating internal surface corrosion.
Nice gun, Howard.
