S&W model 1950 5 screw

[Richardford]

Just picked up a model 1950 45acp 6 1/2". Has Diamond grips that are gorgeous. Made 1954. Overall exceptional condition. Are there many of these around?

 

[WILDPIG]

Well. Congratulations. I love it!

Thanks. I had it rated, for what it's worth, and it came back 99%(if your into that sort of thing). The grips are absolutely beautiful.

Here, I flipped the photo for you.

No, not a lot of that model were made. Someone with the book will be along to tell you how many. I have the fixed sight version.

Hey! Thanks! I appreciate that. I'm in love with this gun.

I'm not absolutely certain but I don't think those stocks would have been available for that early of a 5 screw. The stocks are nice but that model probably would have been shipped with diamond magnas or possibly non-relieved targets.

 

[Richardford]

Your's looks nice. Do you shoot it?

 

[Richardford]

I think you're right about the stocks but they sure look nice on that gun. The fit is great.

 

[andy52]

You didn't say the ser# range but here's my 1952 version of the revolver, not as nice as yours wearing period correct non-relieved targets.

 

[Richardford]

Very nice!

Mine's a sn 126146. S&W told me 1954

 

[andy52]

Richard I don't know if your planning on shooting your 1950 and some might disagree with this but with mine it shoots jacketed bullets much better then lead due to the shallow rifling.

 

[Richardford]

So you're talking moon clips?

 

[sodacan]

2768 made from 1950-61. Here's mine, a fairly rare all target from 1953. Lots of fun to shoot.

 

[Richardford]

What's an "all target"?

 

[kennethg]

All target means it has a target trigger, target hammer and target stocks. Pictured is my 1950 model 45ACP target model as it shipped. All matching including the stocks.
OP, yours is a beauty.

 

[sodacan]

What's an "all target"?

Wide target hammer, wide target trigger and target stocks. None of which were standard.

 

[andy52]

So you're talking moon clips?

Yes I use moon clips with mine rather then auto rims, .45 acp is just easier to come by and cheaper. My 1917s and 1950 just seems to like standard .45 acp hardball ammo. The 1950 is a off shoot of the 1917 with more refined features

 

[Richardford]

Sodacan, do you know what the target features measurements are. I can measure mine with an O.D Mic. Thanks

Richard your 1950 has a standard trigger with a shoe installed and a standard hammer.
