Things I liked:They're a blast to shoot. You really can see where you hit. I've only shot the smaller versions but the "hit" glows bright yellow. Easily visible. Things I would have changed:Different colors. I suppose they're fine for scope shooting but I'm an old school handgunner with iron sights and my eyes aren't what they used

Things I would have changed:Different colors. I suppose they're fine for scope shooting but I'm an old school handgunner with iron sights and my eyes aren't what they used to be. You get the picture,..black notch rear, black blade front, black target the size of a grapefruit. Iron sights disappear. Pretty much guess where center is. For me, Shoot-N-C means exactly what it says. Shoot and see where I hit. I bought some larger bright colored stick on dots for the bullseye. That helps. What others should know:Well worth the money.

Things I liked:I don't own a 693. I do own a model 93, the 693's grandpa. Same gun w/o the chrome. My 93 is probably 15 years old or better. Still shoots fine. Check your clip sam. It's probably not the magnet. Easy test. Remove the magazine and drop a BB on top of the magnet. Pitch the gun down and back, & side to side. If the BB stays put,

It's probably not the magnet. Easy test. Remove the magazine and drop a BB on top of the magnet. Pitch the gun down and back, & side to side. If the BB stays put, it isn't the magnet. The springs in the magazines weaken after time. Here's a hint: Just because the mfg says the clip will hold a zillion rds, don't load that many. To constantly compress that tiny sping to the max and still expect it to return to zero everytime is unrealistic. I've owned clips that wouldn't feed the last 3 rnds. My fault for smashing the spring. As a rule I don't load more than 75% capacitiy on a spring fed magazine anymore. In the case of this gun 10 rds,...would be my first choice. In any event the problem solver is to buy some new mags if the follower spring wears out. I think PyramydAir sells them,...like 3 for ten bucks. You can't go wrong at that price. Things I would have changed:Maybe lighten the trigger pull a little. What others should know:Don't get discouraged. Yeah you don't have adjustable sights. The gun will shoot as well as you can shoot it and the sights aren't the problem. Remember it's a semiauto,..not a machine gun. Pick your spot and your hold on the target and don't change them. When you can group 3 rds together in the same place on that target time after time then you'll know if the gun shoots left, right, high, or low. 3 in the 7 ring you can cover with a quarter is better than the occassional Bull and a target that looks like you shot it with a shotgun. Handguns are inherintly the hardest of the all guns to shoot. Three words. Short sight radius. Every person with an eye can shoot a rifle. 16 to 22 inches front sight to rear. The closer those two sights are mounted together the harder and more critical the alignment becomes. That is the reason handgun shooting is so difficult. Notice the target pistols all have long barrels. They're no less or more accurate than your handgun. They have a longer sight radius. Keep shootin! The dresser drawer boneyard is full of once, twice, three times fired handguns. The shooter is Daniel Boone with a rifle and is "no good" with a pistol. Nonsense. He/she just hasn't had enough practice. Handgun shooting isn't easy. If it were, everybody would be good at it, ...myself included.

Things I liked:Well, ya get what ya pay for. This S&W is a classic. No rattletrap clunking plastic on this one. All steel. Solid as a rock. A sweet piece. Straight out of the case it shot a group of 5 at 50 ft. I could cover with a quarter. Take a bow PyramydAir. Excellent Service. Excellent Product. Well Done. Things I would have changed:Order

What others should know:Buy one. You won't be sorry. I've owned the generic $50.00 plastic imitations and there's nothing wrong with them if they're all that your wallet can bear. They aren't even close to the same league as this pistol. This one is built to last for a long,...longgggggg time.
