Mod 44 9mm SA for sale
I have been allocating some funds to buy a 44.
I have heard/read/told that 10 were made and 6 exist in the free market. If anyone hears of one for sale, pls PM me.
I mean how expensive could it be? They probably retailed for $69.95! Wink.

I've never even seen a picture of one other than the weird Gun Digest cover.

The S&W 9mm double action semiautomatic was later named the model 39. The single action variant of which 10 were made for Army testing was named the model 44.

Hey Sevens, I remember that .30 carbine revolver. Every once in a while some oddities were passed around the fitting room for everyone to look at. One impressive gun was a 44 mag presented to Ronald Reagan.

Hello Sevens, that is a deal. In fact I will go one better. I will buy the 30 Carbine and send it to you for purchase. Naturally I will double the price so as to cover the cost of the mod. 44. OK buddy, good deal all around. Best, Mike
