Half moon Snuby (HMS) Thread
I could never compete with Wiregrass Guy who has a whole album on them... but every time I cross paths with one of these it ends up in either my or my son's shopping cart. So, now I have a fearsome foursome
Left to right:
M&P transitional (shipped Jan. '48, non factory MOP grips)
Pre 10 (shipped 1951, period grips)
Pre 10, factory nickel, Detroit PD (shipped Feb. '48)
Pre 10 Round but, number matched pre war grips (Mar. '49)

Hey, Randy! Thanks for the shout out. But, I'm really a piker compared to some members here. I only have a couple of M&P snubs left. Admittedly, others have passed through my remuda. But, from one aficionado to another: Nice Start!
Nickel 1949 M&P with a 1948 S serial M&P.
Day before birthday gun 7/13/1949 C series SN.

Another I-frame so RKmesa's Terrier doesn't get lonely. '49 .32 HE. It was definitely a working gun.

This one was produced in 1922. I haven't lettered it yet, but we know that S&W did not have the barrel blanks to make this snub yet. By all estimates, it got a genuine S&W barrel later in it's life.
The Mother of Pearl stocks came from a gent in the Association of Retired TX Rangers and the holster is S.D. Myres.
The gun came with numbers matching gold medallion magnas.

I already posted this but decided to change the stocks. I think they fit the gun pretty well

This is my one and only M&P snub. It's also probably my best gun show buy at $275.00. I didn't even argue the price.

I have always liked the half moon front sights of pre-war2. Not sure how good they would be for actual shooting, but I like the look better. On S&Ws and Colts.
