Lucky gun show find
Wanted to stop putting mileage on my 6" blue Colt Diamondback .22lr. So looking for something I'd be happy with in a .22 DA revolver, I stumbled onto this nickel 4" 34-1 at a local gun show. S/N puts it in '69 production. The gentleman selling it told me it had been returned to S&W some time in the '70s for "soup to nuts" upgrading.
The gun truly has it all. Target hammer, target trigger (never had seen one on a j-frame before), target stocks, RR/WO sights, incredible action work and the bonus fitted .22WMR cylinder!
Paid $675 for the gun. Not disappointed. I keep saying I'm going to get it lettered. I will someday when I have some found money.
