I am certainly not the best reporter for this as the only S&Ws I am interested in are the -2 N's. One table at the Ripley WVA show had 3 display boxed N's.......8 3/8 blued 57, 6.5 blued 25, & one other that escapes me. In addition to that, there was a 19-4, 6", and four other similars, then 3-4 older ones, looked like the gun at the top of the forum home page. Several 4" guns, too.

Several NIB older S&W semis, and maybe 6 Colts; Pythons, Diamondbacks included. Were a total close to 20 guns on his tables.

Was another S&W guy there, but looked like newer semis..........several folks at his tables, so I didnt get a look.

Only 20 occupied gun tables at this show.....35 in whole bld.

Same vendor shows up in several local shows, always a table full of collector grade S&Ws, seldom the same ones, will see him again Sat.

Take some money this time.

Some of those small local shows can produce some really nice guns from time to time. I did one about a year ago and came away with a couple pair of S&W grips, the N Frame magna's I sold here for many times what I paid for them, and the K frame magna's I refinished and now reside on an older M&P.

You should join the SWCA and come down to Charlotte next Spring. This is if you want to see THE honey hole.

Gents...........I am in self induced buying decline. Over $40,000. so far this year. I had a short bucket list.......bought several of those. Wasnt able to restrain myself on some other non-bucket list guns. Jan. 1 sees shooting only mode.

Ya, that $40,000.00 ceiling slows us all down a bit!

That's too funny

Is it alright if'n I show this to my wife? Joe
