Thanks for the replys.It belongs to a friend of mine I've known 30 plus years.He's in his 80's and has cancer.It just so hard to buy used S&W here in California.I think I can order a new S&W 357,but I'm not crazy about the lock.I'm still going to do the legal transfer.I sure like to move out of this state but it would hard to up and leave my kids and grandkids.Should of stayed in Oaklahoma years ago
