Just for a point of reference mine has the newer style frame with the rounded edges and the newer yolk retention screw with the spring plunger the same as my model 25-9 the serial prefix on my 25-9 is BEV, of course I have nicknamed her Beverly if I can figure out how to post photos on the Forum...

To the best of my knowledge all of these model 26-1 overrun guns shipped to GT Distributors in Georgia. I purchased mine in 2012 at the collectors symposium from Bill Orr himself who was selling it for one of the members that had bought it a long time ago. The serial prefix on mine is BBY the...

The 640-1 and the 640-2 are built on the J Magnum frame . The cylinder window is sized for the larger 357 Magnum cylinder. The 640-2 is a 38 Special only gun., I have one. I have fitted a 357 cylinder to it so I have both 38 and 357 cylinders...

My good friend Michael in California suggested this letter. Dear Steve and Anita, Rachel finished her work on earth, and left the stage in a manner that leaves those of us left behind with a cry of agony in our hearts, as the fragile thread of our faith is dealt with so violently. Is...

Dear, there is no coincidence. My Mother was Marian Elizabeth Perrin. The poet is Mary Elizabeth Frye. It was her favorite, and the first thing I read at my sons service. Along with excerpts from the Prophet 'On Children ' On Joy and Sorrow' and 'On DEath" Thank you all so very...

People tell me this, but it is the only way I am surviving at this time. Thank you kernel. And thank you all for your prayers. They have pulled me along. Allen

It is with my heart in my throat that I report to my forum friends . My son, Mark left us last Tuesday January 19th. He was 27 years old. He died of a drug overdose and was found by a friend. He had been lost to that demon for some time. We all tried everything we could do, I spoke...

Greetings and Happy New year to my fellow Forum Friends. After scouring the interweb for a long time now I finally found that wonderful grail Stainless Kit Gun, the model 631. It joins my model 63 and the 651 for the ultimate trifecta of Stainless Kit Guns. The Model 60-10 in 357 Magnum ...

Bingo. give this man a cigar. :)

4 inch 27-2 from 1982 .. Pinned and counterbored. Maybe you can see why I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger. It appears untouched from the last 35 years. I wonder if someone will trade me a good shooter...

I have bought a brand new 9 m.m. shield also. 9 rounds in that small package for under $400. It disappears in the waist band and the 7 round spare magazine is a plus. I bought it to train students and introduce new shooters to a good shootable compact 9 mm pistol. And yes, I carry a 43C in...

Mike, groove count only as a marker as to when manufactured. 6 groove 44s being the earliest may just hold a collector or cool factor. We all know size is what really matters. :) . Allen
